2013年8月15日 · 2 cups sugar, 2 cups water, 1/2 cup white distilled vinegar, 3-4 slices of banana peel about an inch wide or more and a few drops of dish soap. The hornets are attracted to it and the honey bees don't bother it at all. Good luck.

2009年8月31日 · Has anyone tested the bee suits with bald face/white faced hornets, the ones that build those big conical grey enlarging as the season progresses paper nests. We were kind of joking in chat this evening about putting a suit on and ripping in to hornets nest for an authentic test of hornet stingproof or not stingproof.

2024年9月16日 · A few Bald-faced, Yellow Jackets and European hornets do little harm to healthy colonies. They can smell distress, though, so if a colony is dying…sick and/or Queenless…they’ll be there in a heartbeat. Now Yellow-Legged and Giant Asian Hornets are a whole different kettle of fish altogether.

2010年7月3日 · if you've never fooled with hornets, they attack enmass and will sting right through a bee suit-each hornet multiple times. things can get ugly real quick. even spraying them can get dicey. suit up,be carefull, and be prepared. good luck,mike P.S. sorry for the repeat post-i'm a 1 finger typist on dial up and people get ahead of me.

2004年5月10日 · I do enjoy watching the bald-faced hornets hunting for cabbage worms. They kind-of hover around the broccoli/cabbage like Apache helicopters. Sometimes I even make the "whump-whump" helicopter sounds when watching them! I haven't seen them eating them, though. And they don't make a significant dent in the worm population (at least not enough!).

2020年9月1日 · But today is a newish one. I have a public feeder located some ways away from my hive, and I've had yellow jackets and bald faced hornets etc around it the whole time. However, today I've noticed the bald faced hornets getting extra aggressive and attacking the honey bees. They're grabbing them both at the feeder and mid flight.

2021年8月10日 · I believe hornets are an environmental constant for our future, foreseeing hornet excluders on the entrances of everybody's hives to protect the larvae of honeybees. European Hornets are the new top of the food chain, so exclude them out from inside your hives. The Mann Lake mouse excluders have a 3/8" hole for bees to pass through but not mice.

2009年8月25日 · Can Hornets wipe out a strong hive (50,000+) bees. Yellow jackets are not a problem, but the Hornets are. Do the Yellow Jacket traps work well with Hornets -- If I put these traps up, how often do I need to visit the bee yards.

2020年9月15日 · I put up two wax moth traps and the first week each one had about ten wax moths along with numerous hornets and wasps. Also several of those 1.5 inch horse flies. I put some new bait in them and in the second week they had several moths, numerous hornets and wasps and more of the big horseflies. I change out the bait once a week.

2013年7月12日 · I started a blog here tonight, about screen size for screening hive entrances, to see is there may be a consensus on the largest size hole that European Hornets can't get through. (I'm not quitting over this. No way.) The bee know-it-all books seem to think only Japanese or Giant hornets kill this way: a whole hive every night by a massive attack.
