The bees will fly in trying to get the sugar water but there too dumb to fly back out. It's kind of hard to tell someone how to make one without using a pic. but mabey you will figure it out.

Thanks.....but we done home now...will remember that for next time!

Minor factoid - In the spring the hornets go after sugary things. In the fall they switch to meat. When you are making hornet traps you'll need to adjust your bait depending upon the season.

In the fall just eat peanut butter and jelly. They'll leave you alone. In the spring just eat peanut butter, jelly is too dangerous :)

But these were not hornets...they were bees and they wanted the sugar.

Thanks anyway...I'll keep that in mind when I get pestered by hornets.
