Good Camping

They are so busy at our feeders that we have to refill almost every 4 days,the vasoline is working great.I think we found the answers to our honey bee problem, down the street a couple rehabing a house found the whole side of the house was full of honey bees.They have the whole area taped off now to keep people away.I bet that's going to be a huge mess.

We just had our large party of hummers arrive a week ago. They are busy fighting for their territory but so fun to watch. Has anyone every been impaled by a hummer? I fear that we may all one day be taken over by insects as I watched one of our feeders for an hour or so and it had maybe fifteen ants inside of it. I made more hummer water and when I poured the anty water into the sink, the buggers started walking around. I swear they should have been dead! I looked up ways to keep the ants out and found these little water moats that hang above the feeder. They were $20.00 each. No thanks. I eventually found the same thing at Wally World for $1.00 each. Much better on the budget. I have six feeders out, I would have went broke. Gotta go, the hummers are making their war-crys and I wanna go watch.

Hey Honeask
Welcome to Wild Texas.I will have to look at Wally World for the little moats sounds like a good deal.Turn Keys ideal about vasoline is working pretty good so far.I don't know if anyone has ever been inpailed ,but i've been bumped into a time or two ,most of the time they just scatter away.The couple of times I got bumped I was filling feeders,I guess not as fast as they wanted.Have a great day and Welcome again.

Well the honey bees did'nt have a chance.The city came in,the county came next,then a game warden.They trapped some bees and lady from county said they are normal honey bees,then they placed what looked like half a tent up and sprayed bug killer.After 2 hours they pulled some of the siding off, and bees had lost.A couple of hours later we went to see the hive,a good 4 foot x 6 foot, they got it all out.They checked out the rest of the house and said it was bee free,and alot of roaches did'nt make it also.They still have it taped off with do not enter signs.I bet that would have been some good honey.Well the young couple are happy that the bees are gone,and hope they won't have anymore problems.

Well son came running inside this mourning screaming bees -bees ,sure enough honey bees trying to take over feeders.I guess there's still a hive around somewhere.At least the hummers are still showing up.Have a good day.
