Newer Design Traps Don't Last As Long as They Should I have been using Best Bee traps for several years. The older design holds up much better than the newer design with the bottom you can open to dump out the bees. After a few years the traps start delaminating. The company told me they should last between 2 to 4 years depending on weather conditions, but I have the older model that has been up a long time and they don't delaminate. Plus, I have wood bird houses that have been up for many years and they are fine. It is something in how these particular ones are made.

7 traps up and 4 have Bees & it's early in season! I have 7 of the traps up now and 4 have bees in them and in the past all will have them pretty soon! My only complaint is you didn't seen directions on how to use them properly. How are we suppose to know when and how to get the dead bees out without letting live ones out as well! The older models had screw off bottles so you could see what you had easier, but they didn't hold up very good. Give us operating instructions you have a good product that works well!

THEY ARE RELENTLESS We have carpenter bees - my research indicated that cirtrus would repell them - so far, it isn't working. BUT I had to try! These bees are relentless. Much more gnawing and we'll not have a deck to worry about. Can't tell you if the product is working as bees are still swarming the deck; it may require more treatments.

Carpenter bee boxes These boxes work wonderfully! This is my second purchase. Arrived in a timely manner. Great customer service.

Works great! Put the trap up with a little of the bee paste and in minutes we had a carpenter bee in the trap! Within the first week it was almost full. We put it up early (beginning of April) and that has really helped. Hoping for a carpenter bee free summer!
