Does anyone know how to make a bee and wasp catcher homemade? I'm looking for one to work like those in the catalogs which have a hole the bees go in and some sugar water and they can't get back out.

I took a 2 litre soda bottle and i poked a few holes in the top, small ones so that they have sharp edges on the inside, about the size of a pea. I left some of the soda in it, and by the end of the day there were a dozen wasps trapped in there.
We do not need to be killing bees we need bees to pollinate our fruits and veggies dont you people understand that
Another trick with the 2 liter bottle is to cut the spout end of the bottle of about 2 -3 inches down and invert it into the remainder of the bottle. The spout will be pointing down into the bottle. Before you put the inverted spout into the bottle put 1/4 cup water mixed with 1 teaspoon of dish soap in the bottom of the bottle. The soap is what keeps them from flying back out because it sticks to their wings and they can't fly.
Hi i live out in the Country and what i do is take a Jelly Jar that has some jelly left in it add some water poke small holes in the lid just big enough for them to get in and when they have had there fill they cannot get out and you can set them anyplace or hang them in trees and when done cover the jars and dispose safely it works for me good luck
For the bee traps you take water bottles and put corn syrup in the bottom of them with a little bit of soda mixed in and hang them to your trees around your yard but away from child play areas it really works the soda attracts the bees and the syrup gets them stuck in the bottle
Please dont trap bees. They are a vital part of pollination for the planet. You can use bait thats attracts wasps and hornets only.
Why not just catch them with your bare hands? Wasp and yellow-jacket stings are an excellent homeopathic remedy for arthritis -- and will lower your cholesterol too (from all the running you'll do when you mess with their nests).
Because some people are extremely allergic to bee stings like my son for example who was stung three days before his wedding last week and was in the hospital with anaphylactic shock and his throat swelling shut.
I HAD A TERRIFYING Allergic reaction from bee stings when never before had reaction other than red itchy bump. Do not
assume you will not come to harm.
There is a world wide decline in bees. IF this continues agricultural production will decline to catastrophic amounts unable to sustain human population. In other words if you kill bees humans will die, perish, become extinct, be destroyed. Do you understand this? If you don't like bees try using mosquito repellent on your body. Do not wipe out plants because you don't like insects. Please tell this to a friend and maybe we can save the agricultural crops and more importantly plants nearing extinction whose only hope for survival is from bee pollination.
Yellow jackets and wasps do not help with spreading pollen.
Couldnt of said this better myself thank you for making some of these people understand the importance of bees
Bees are not yellow jackets. Bees travel from one flower to another he is gathering nectar to carry back to the hive to intern make honey or feed the Queen.
When you have someone in your family that is allergic to stings and almost died from a yellow jacket sting last year you might think twice about killing them with your hands!
People are confusing bee's and wasps/yellow jackets. The traps in this article are targeting the wasps/yellow jackets. They are not the same and wasps yellow jackets do not pollinate crops of any kind and in fact some wasps kill bee's!
You can put about 6-8 shiny pennies in a clear ziplock bag, fill about 2/3 with water and hang it at door or window openings; wasps, bees, flys, etc. will NOT come near.

Hi Dear John, I understand there is a decline in bees however my children and I are deathly allergic to bee and wasp stings so I can care less about killing them, survival of the fittest, lol. I am bigger and come equipped with raid! these ideas for traps are great! It's horrible that we can not enjoy the sunshine in our back yard when there are bees and wasps everywhere! We limit our outside time to evenings to avoid them and that's no fun at all. I will definitely try out some of these ideas and hopefully we can enjoy our yard again!
I want to know how to trap carpenter bees. They have been burrowing onto the 2/4's that hold up the roof of the barn.
take a 2 by 4 and drill a hole 3/4 in. through the end of the board then drill a hole 1in.half way through the board and take coke bottle cap & put it in the hole ,glue it in & screw the bottle in cap.
I rub the entrance hole with Vicks Vapo rub. The bees smell and leave the wood.
You cut off the top of a 2 liter soda bottle, stick the top in upside down without the cap, punch some holes on the sides to hang it, and fill with sugar water. Complete instructions are here:macgyverisms.wonderhowto.com/
