It's winter time down here , so are bee activity is at a minimum , however , yesterday while check a few on my hives , I noticed some wasp activity . Generally , they where trying to go in through the hive mouth and where being booted out shortly after entry . What was so distressing for me is that these THINGS where flying in the rain and cold like some all wheather attack aircraft . I have some traps built up for use this comeing spring and I plan initally use horse meat as a bait , but I'd like to find a more reliable (and durrable ) bait . Dose anybody have an idea of what I could use that would be a better bait .
