I emptied about 50 out of my front porch trap yesterday. That was a week's worth. Had 1 angry wasp as well....or what was left of an angry wasp. We noticed him in there a few days ago as he was stinging the crap out of the bees.

We were laughing today when some traps were picked up. Hanging in the eve of the garage, they ALL had bees in them and those picking them up were wary about putting the traps with live bees in them in their cars.
They do work......for sure.

Still have some left. I am assuming we have saturated the paulding.com marketplace ?
We watch them go in the holes whilst sitting on the porch in the late afternoon, and everyone claps when they fall through the hole a couple of seconds later.
I dumped more than 50 out of a trap yesterday, and that was a weeks worth.

The first couple of traps I built, I painted. Since then I have been leaving the wood natural and we have found the natural woods does a much better job of attracting the bees. With 2 side by side, the painted one had 2-3 bees while the natural wood trap had 20+.
And on our house they do much better on the East side than the West. Go figure.

I still want mine!!!!
We were out of town over the weekend, and like you said, with the cooler weather I forgot about it.
Will you still have one this weekend for me?
I saw some of these traps at Wallace's BBQ last week, we were all shocked how many bees those things had collected...
"There he goes. One of God's own prototypes. A high-powered mutant of some kind never even considered for mass production. Too weird to live, and too rare to die."
Religion in Government is like Gang Rape. 5 out of the 6 participants thinks it's great, done by popular concensus and morally justified because the Bible and "god" said they could. Publicly the 5 condem it but have no problems privately supporting it or participating in it...

I have one with your name on it.
For those who think the boring bees are done, just wait till Friday. When we hit 80 again they will be back......big time.

My Carpenter Bee Traps are now available at the New Hope and Seven Hills Ace Hardware stores for anyone interested.
I enjoy building them, but the yard, house, and garden tours were getting to be a little bit more demanding than we could handle.
I will still be building these and will help with any questions, but any potential customers for these need to contact one of the Ace Hardware Stores to buy them.
