Cesar Flores recommended used tires as hive stands. Mark Hayward cautioned
about breeding
grounds for mosquitoes. As the risk of being repetitive, I will repeat the
caution of
mosquito breeding ground. Being very close to ground zero for West Nile
Virus hysteria,
used tires are being named as public enemy number three, number two being
mosquitoes and
number one being the virus itself. The general public is being strongly
encouraged to clean
up all old tires, some communities are sponsoring free tire recycle services
and a few communities are financing tire shredders, all to abate mosquito
populations.
If you use old tires as hive stands, first drill holes in the sidewalls to
allow water to
drain out of the tire. Even then, holes will clog, water will collect,
mosquitoes will breed, politicians will cover their asses, spraying programs
will commence and bees will die. Admittedly this is a dramatic scenario,
but hey, drama happens!
Aaron Morris - thinking tires, BAD!
