I am having a problem with ants colonizing between the inner cover and the telescoping cover. I've been controlling (?) the ants by removing both covers and replacing them with "clean" ones, but I'm wondering if there's any good way to control them that's more permanent. For one thing these (red/black) ants sting, and they hurt. They also get all over everything, and drive the bees nuts when they fall down into the hive. I'd appreciate any practical suggestions. -- Paul Madden [log in to unmask] http://poe.acc.virginia.edu/~pm6f
