2013年8月15日 · 2 cups sugar, 2 cups water, 1/2 cup white distilled vinegar, 3-4 slices of banana peel about an inch wide or more and a few drops of dish soap. The hornets are attracted to it and the honey bees don't bother it at all. Good luck.

2009年8月31日 · Has anyone tested the bee suits with bald face/white faced hornets, the ones that build those big conical grey enlarging as the season progresses paper nests. We were kind of joking in chat this evening about putting a suit on and ripping in to hornets nest for an authentic test of hornet stingproof or not stingproof.

2024年9月16日 · A few Bald-faced, Yellow Jackets and European hornets do little harm to healthy colonies. They can smell distress, though, so if a colony is dying…sick and/or Queenless…they’ll be there in a heartbeat. Now Yellow-Legged and Giant Asian Hornets are a whole different kettle of fish altogether.

2013年7月12日 · I started a blog here tonight, about screen size for screening hive entrances, to see is there may be a consensus on the largest size hole that European Hornets can't get through. (I'm not quitting over this. No way.) The bee know-it-all books seem to think only Japanese or Giant hornets kill this way: a whole hive every night by a massive attack.

2020年9月15日 · I put up two wax moth traps and the first week each one had about ten wax moths along with numerous hornets and wasps. Also several of those 1.5 inch horse flies. I put some new bait in them and in the second week they had several moths, numerous hornets and wasps and more of the big horseflies. I change out the bait once a week.

2004年5月10日 · I do enjoy watching the bald-faced hornets hunting for cabbage worms. They kind-of hover around the broccoli/cabbage like Apache helicopters. Sometimes I even make the "whump-whump" helicopter sounds when watching them! I haven't seen them eating them, though. And they don't make a significant dent in the worm population (at least not enough!).

2008年7月19日 · Identified "European Hornets" I caught two of the hornets today, I think I have identified them as European Hornets. They are still eating honeybees. I will be looking for the nest this week. I can't get a decent picture from the digital camera I have but,this is the best I could do. Here is a picture of them.

2010年7月3日 · if you've never fooled with hornets, they attack enmass and will sting right through a bee suit-each hornet multiple times. things can get ugly real quick. even spraying them can get dicey. suit up,be carefull, and be prepared. good luck,mike P.S. sorry for the repeat post-i'm a 1 finger typist on dial up and people get ahead of me.

2009年7月25日 · German, or European Hornets are attacking and killing some hives in Northeast Pennsylvania this August. They aren't supposed to do that. For now, put a queen excluder under the brood boxes to keep them out, and close off the hole at the top board, or they will kill all the bees in order to freely eat all the larvae and pollen and drink their ...

2023年9月14日 · We have more European hornets this year than I ever remember seeing before. Not sure how much of an impact they have on my bee population but I'm getting tired of seeing them hanging around my hives and flying away with bees. Has anyone tried making a trap like the one in the video below? Supposedly bees won't be attracted to it due to the vinegar.
