Just kidding :-) Jim: Last year, I believe, there was quite a discussion on ants. One idea suggested was to put a container, like maybe an old film container with small holes (smaller than a honey bee-obviously) in the cover and put poison inside & place it under your hive if there is room. There were some good suggestions for poison. I think one idea involved using Borax? Perhaps whoever suggested the Borax could pop on line again with the formula or what have you.
