Dear Friends:
I just moved some of my bees to a new site which I cleared in the middle
of patch of woods covered with brambles. Needless to say, the ants
moved in readily to the inner cover of every hive hat I relocated
there. Just as a curiosity, I started literally squirting mineral oil
on the antes and eggs before I dumped them off. Guess what? Within two
months I no longer see ants nesting under my hive tops. Added bonus? I
would say so!
Best regards.
