Hi Guys, I'm in south Florida, Boynton Beach, and beeless as well. I suspected feral bees would be available, that with the year long flowers, mild climate and long bee history in the area. But it's not so. I've seen less than a dozen honeybees in 9 months. I've observed few to none native bees and just a few wasps. I've captured a few of those bees and tried to convert them to a feeding station. No success. I sprayed a palm bloom with scented syrup hoping to convert a few to a station underneath. I tried trapping with beeswax and lemon oil. No success. I had thought about going through the rigors and setting up a bee removal service. It would surely be a "bee" removal service. And I would just need a pair of tweezers. :>))) All my best methods to hunt and trap bees down here have failed, even during the height of the dry season. I suspect that pesticide use and government spraying might have major effects. Regards Dennis Thinking the unthinkable for a Wyoming guy, maybe I'll have to buy bees in Florida! And find a more bee friendly place to set them up. **************************************************** * General Information About BEE-L is available at: * * http://www.honeybeeworld.com/bee-l/default.htm * ****************************************************
