I once read an article on the people of a remote tribe in Brazil who, to
protect themselves from "man eating ants" devouring them in their beds at
night, simply put each leg of their beds into a can of water. The ants would
try to get up but fell in the water and drowned. Would not such a things
work for a bee stand? Just build one of piping (I have such a one, found at
the dump and leftover from heavens knows what) but, since I do not have an
ant problem have never put its six legs in cans of water. If I did have a
problem, I would give it a try.
