It's winter time down here , so are bee activity is at a minimum ,
however , yesterday while check a few on my hives , I noticed some wasp
activity . Generally , they where trying to go in through the hive mouth
and where being booted out shortly after entry .
   What was so distressing for me is that these THINGS where flying in the
rain and cold like some all wheather attack aircraft .
   I have some traps built up for use this comeing spring and I plan
initally use horse meat as a bait , but I'd like to find a more reliable
(and durrable ) bait . Dose anybody have an idea of what I could use that
would be a better bait .
