We have a bee hive are Bees attracted to this as well because we do not want to catch the bees!

I do not believe this unit will attract bees. The scent it generates is like used toilet bowl and bees dont want it.

No, bees respond to sweet. This is not sweet. I even made some juice after mine got nastier. Made it out of blood from a roast and a few other disgusting things. :)

I am happy to report that this trap with fly bait only catches flies. Bees and wasps stay away from the stink. This is the best fly trap you have ever used. It takes a day or so to get going, but if you have flies, expect it to fill within a week. Use a spoon to remove the dead flies, and ad some water. The bait is a gift that keeps on giving for weeks.

My flower bed is full of bees, and they don't seem to be interested in the Tanglefoot traps at all. I've never seen any caught in the traps.

no. It was for stinkbugs. We want bees to come into our flowers and garden to pollinate.

I think they want us to place it far enough away because it really stinks. And the idea was to draw the flies away from the house. Well it does not do so. It does capture them once they find it. It catches alot but there were still many by the house. Putting it as close as you can stand the smell would work.

In our area in SC we see very small bees have been affected by this unit, but its rare. But for the most part we have not seen that they are drawn to it at night.

I don't think so. It isn't made to attract anything. If you follow the suggested instructions for applying it to an object that hangs and swings the yellowflies will think it is an animal and will land on it. I have had great success with this method and have never seen a honey bee on my trap.

The bees are attracted to fresh wood. Once inside they investigate it as a pissible nest. Once they want to leave, they go for the sunlight and get stuck in the jar. If two get stuck, they'll fight until they die. I've caught a few with this style. I still see them, but no where near the nusance that they used to be. DO NOT HANG IT. Buy the mounted version or mount this one. They won't go in it if it's swinging.

When they fall into the jar it is difficult for the bees to get back up into the box and then the holes there are at an angle so the bees can't maneuver to get back out. That's the best I can do. I can only tell you that our jar is filling up. It took a long time for the bees to start entering the trap but once they did they didn't stop.

We have a palo verde tree with thousands of yellow flowers that attract as many bees. The feeder is hung from that tree without the bees ever bothering it without the tips.

The traps are made for the ants to access, as a beekeeper I would be wary of anything, however these ant traps work very well on all ants and the access would be very difficult if not impossible for a bee due to the size of the opening. I do not know of the gel.

My best guess is that it wouldn't harm bees since it's not generally toxic, but you'd have to get a more expert opinion.

I bought this one specifically to keep bees away because the bees were swarming on another First Nature model that had slots but not the yellow ports. This one kept bees away for me here in central Ohio. I like First Nature bird products very much.

As far as I can tell, bees aren't attracted to the bait (a plastic container with the chemical inside it) or the gel (chemical delivered by a syringe). Only ants have been attracted to the bait. I still have a carpenter bee problem.

Ours hangs from a short chain just below our pergola--the very pergola the bees were drilling. We have caught several bees in the trap and have seen none boring in our pergola. We love it! Works great.

It is probably too quiet. It makes more of a bee swarm sound rather than true white noise. It is very quiet.

Yes! I live in a wooded area so I take the cork out, dump the dead bees in the woods and then just rinse the trap out. (You could probably dump it in a toilet.) I'm amazed at how quickly it fills up with bees again!

Bees would be attracted to anything you put on your skin with a fragrance. I would imagine. Especially a honey based product. Which I don't think this is.
