Hello Waldemar and Friends, For those of you interested in putting bees into a small jar for use in Bee Sting Therapy, here is a method I have been using for years. I use a plastic peanut butter jar with numerous 1/8" holes drilled in the top, as my bee container. I have the jar open and sitting on a flat surface near the hive I am gathering bees from. I use a 30" square piece of 4 mil plastic sheet spread on the ground and shake some bees from a frame onto the sheet. The bees are disoriented and I am able to fold the sheet like a newspaper, by grabbing two opposing edges, and shake the bees down to the center crease and then pour them into the jar. Sometimes I will gather too many and it is a simple matter to shake them out of the jar until a sufficient quantity remains and then gently screw on the lid. When we get ready to apply the stings, I pour about a teaspoon of concentrated sugar water through the holes in the top of the jar and roll the bees around in it until they are all well coated. At this point I place the jar in a small bowl and open the lid to pick out the bees one-at-a-time with special tweezers I have modified for the purpose. The bees can't fly with a coating of sugar water and will mill around the top edge of the jar, cleaning themselves. It makes it very easy to work with them, this way. I hope this helps. Robert J.
