Great video. This is exactly how I make my traps. I've also found that if you can find and use older 4x4s the carpenter bees really like those. I think maybe the chemicals in the newer pressure treated turn the bees off a little. They'll still catch the bees but I found the older wood attracts more. Also.. be sure to put your traps out as early as your can (once you get out of freezing temps). The females come around before the males and you really want to get as many of the females as you can. Also take note.. the males don't sting but the females will.

@bambamnj

@@anotherdave5107 No, the carpenter bees are attracted to the wood bc that is where they lay their eggs. I do put about a 1/4 inch of water-dish soap mix in the bottom but that is just to kill the bees quicker so they don't find a way to escape. Also, do not empty the trap of dead bees, unless you absolutely have to. The dead bees give off a pheromone that will attract other bees. So while it may take a week to get your first bee, after that you will most likely catch more quicker because of that first bee being in the trap

Built three traps. I used 6" long pieces of 4×4, but otherwise stuck to the same design. It took two days before I caught the first bee, but once the first bee was in the trap I caught three more within a few hours. No bait is needed, just be patient. Once the first bee is trapped it releases pheromones that attract more bees (so don't be too fast to empty your traps). No need to buy some fancy built trap. Most rural folks have everything needed to make their own.

Yeah, but those darned things seem to want to go in angled a lot. Guess it's because as they are driven in, the longer side has to penetrate deeper, thus causing more resistance. This makes it hard to drive the longer side deeper than the shorter side, which in turn makes it hard to prevent it from being angled. Guess the more you drive them, the better you get at doing it well.

Any thoughts on the diagonal holes starting higher up on the outside? That's what I've been doing, but thinking lower is better? The bee gets to the center and sees light from the diagonal hole. but also at the bottom and having come in from a lower diagonal, they are closer to the bottom / the bottom light is brighter than with the ones I made? And then any thoughts on a wider diameter or taller jar and how well it works? I picture the bees bouncing around in there and maybe at some point finds the hole right above them and gets out the diagonal? I do overthink things. Sorry!

I wanted to see it catch some bees, I wanted to see you kill some bees, I wanted to see them working in real-life! How did you come up with your specifications, where is the science? Please show us some bees going in and plopping down into the glass. Thanks!

Thanks, I did make some and put them up, nothing going in yet, but there are carpenter bees flying around testing the wood. I hope they work! Thanks for the response. I hope you know I was trying to be funny there :)

The Plain Truth I heard is hard catching the 1 st one but after you do, leave it in there and more keep going in. Something about scent etc. Look allneed the web, there is other information but his design seems in line with others

because you put water with dishwater detergent into the jar. The soap sticks to their fur and wings and they can't fly out and drown.

I tried this method last year and ……." it works great" at first it took a few days until one gets into the trap but once one is in others will slowly follow. I need to make more for other areas and family members, so thank you for your info.

Without the Carpenter Bees; I would not have any pollinators for my garden. I put up with them because they pollinate my garden. I have not seen a honey bee in 6 years.

I have done real research into this species and they are actually needed in nature. If you maak a block of wood with holes already in it they will have someplace to live other than your woodwork.

Bees are essential for pollination, and therefore your ability to continue to eat. They won't harm you if you leave them alone. Rather than exterminating them- why not create a carpenter bed habitat to attract them away from your buildings, fences etc

Not big brother as much as "smart"phones and the apps permissions you allow the apps access to your phone bits. If something wants permission to your microphone and camera, it can and probably will be used to listen you just for marketing purposes. Pay attention when loading apps on your phone.

No need to kill Carpenter Bees. I found if you put up pieces of wood with 1/2" holes drilled, They will use them and not bother you home.

you only need to fill the jar halfway withwater and put some strawberry jam (jelly) inside and on the rim with the lid off and job done. you will have bees fly in and drown. simple as that
