Bees day 4.

in bees •  7 years ago 

We bought a water feeder from Amazon. received_1478697498863145.jpeg

It was a death trap!

30 minutes in it took all these bees lives. Apparently there was a part that goes with it that did not ship.

I know we will lose bees, but this still breaks my heart.

Looking forward when we can add the top to the box.

Bummer. I had the same thing happen with a one gallon feeder - that was a mess. It killed about 2 pounds of bees. I'm not sure why or how it happens, but you can fix it by stuffing a little piece of window screen in the hole so that they can't crawl inside.
