How Do You Attract Honey Bees And Trap Them Into Making A Beehive In A Particular Spot?
InstructionsDifficulty: Easy Step 1: Be kind to weeds, or at least let them attract honey bees for awhile. Most people consider anything that wasn’t purposely planted by human hands to be a noxious weed. However, honey bees are blind to the fact. Their favorites? Clover and dandelion. Step 2: Introduce a variety of plants in your outdoor spaces. Honey bees love diversity. In fact, observations indicate that they seem to appreciate plantings of 10 or more different species close together. Step 3: Reward your honey bees with highly scented flowers. Bees have powerful “chemo receptors” in their antennae that seek out fragrances. Naturally, this will lead them to your environment if you provide the right incentives. Step 4: Become familiar with flowers and plants indigenous to your specific region. A local agricultural office or nursery can provide this information. Step 5: Invite honey bees to take an interest in your honeycomb boxes. How? With just a few drops of essential oil of anise.
