Would this not also trap beneficial insects such as honey bees?

Don't hang them until after the flowers have dropped and the apples are about the circumference of a quarter. Don't jump the gun because there have to be fruits in order for the apple maggot flies to be interested. Honey bees and other pollinators won't be around by that time.

I haven't used this particular brand but I have used other sticky traps and basically they trap anything that lands on it. However, I only ever saw one bee on any of my traps. I don't think the bees naturally gravitate to what you are coating, as they go for pollen on the flowers. So theoretically they are much less likely to land on it.

I don't see any reason why it wouldn't work. And it will definitely kill bees. I would suggest you do it either in the evening or very early in the morning.

Yes, it also attracts and kills moths. I didn't see any bees in it however...

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.

It catches anything that comes near to it. I do not have a blueberry maggot problem so I don't really know. It works like the old sticky fly traps.

Not sure about the how or why but I can promise you that it works. I did put one dead bee in the jar thinking it would attract more.

NO. Made to catch bed bugs only. There is a talc powder covering of this trap that damages their exoskeleton. I do not think it would have any affect on an ant.

Not at all. Bumble Bees (and honey bees for that matter) have no interest in exploring the holes in our traps. Bumble Bees nest in the ground.Tony, Chrisman Mill Farms, 859-553-9070

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.

They can help deter them, principally because most bees are territorial, and they don't want to hang around where more aggressive wasps might be nesting. :-) No guarantees, but it seems to have helped out. Also we do put up other bee traps in the perimeters of our yard, which do catch a few various kinds of bees (but not nearly as many as before we put up those fake wasp nets). Last year I did see them available also at Ace Hardware stores here in Spokane, WA...

This stuff will affect anything that touches it and isn't strong enough to pull free. Yes, if a honey bee lands or walks onto an area where you spread it, they will get stuck and die. However they won't be attracted to it in search of nectar or water. Just don't spread it near the water. I spread tanglefoot around the bases of my bird feeders and birdhouses and every insect that tried to cross it got stuck.

I can't say for sure but I would think that the pheromone that the trap uses would not work for non listed moths.

In my experience, yes. We had a terrible fruit fly problem that was not going away with the traps. I used the spray 1X and it worked. All gone.

As I have caught NO bees, I cant answer for sure but trap construction would seem to indicate bees are drawn to the light and would be unable to retrace their path to freedom.

This product can be harmful to bees. We have not have data available indicating whether the product would be harmful to other beneficial insects such as lady bugs and earthworms. When applying the product, we would recommend avoiding areas where lady bugs and earth worms may come in contact with it.

Not that I know of. Haven't had any problems with attracting bees as of yet. The smell dissipates after a while.

Probably not. Small insects can't get through the mesh, but a bee's stinger could.
