Hello all:
 
I got some borax laundry additive two weeks ago.  I think my wife said
it was less than $5 for five pounds.  Well I mixed 1/1 syrup with about
1/2 part borax.  Got a super saturate solution had some on the bottom.
Put some in a small pickle jar about 1/4 full.  Put some 16d  nail holes
in the lid.  Set it on its side at about 30 deg. under the hive. In a
couple of hours it was killing ants.  They go in the jar and never come
out.  Bees can't get in so it seems to be O.K.  Thank you Don Bowen.
