Today, I paint my fume boards black and set them in the sun before setting it on top with any of the repellents. Heat helps. In five minutes most bees are gone from a medium super and I use a blower to remove the stragglers. Chasing the bees down before blowing the supers clear keeps the number of confused flying bees down. Works well for me.</pre> <pre> </pre> <pre>Larry Krengel</pre> *********************************************** The BEE-L mailing list is powered by L-Soft's renowned LISTSERV(R) list management software.
