Winner

Winn Harliss is a master at making something out of nothing. I am on a cleaning binge that has extended from my house to my office to the entire Matthaei Botanical Gardens. Put those two things together, and you get some beautiful swarm traps.

Any beekeepers out there who can use corrugated plastic or foam core for observation boards, swarm traps or anything else, let me know. There is still a good-sized stack of old interpretive signs looking for a new purpose in life.

And thanks, Winn, for turning my favorite sign into something of value again.

  1. Winn is indeed a master recycler! That really is an attractive swarm trap you have there Karen. I guess you could use the corrugated plastic political candidates signs for the same thing. But wait; would bees avoid them, rendering the traps useless?? Sorry, I need to learn to bee-have...:)
