In the market you can find special attracting oils. You can spray also a little the entrance of the hive that you keep it wide open.<BR/>The hive should be placed at 1.5-2 meters high. Good luck!!!BeeHappyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12359045871099657998noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27329001.post-64839732208034635622007-03-11T21:35:00.000-04:002007-03-11T21:35:00.000-04:00Hi Linda,I have enjoyed reading your bee blog as I...Hi Linda,<BR/><BR/>I have enjoyed reading your bee blog as I am about to get bees for the first time ever this Spring (in less than 4 weeks!).<BR/><BR/>I am also going to cut my wax foundation into starter strips, and I have the wax tube fastener and about a pound of wax, but I'm not exactly sure how to melt the wax, get it in the tube, and then get the wax from the tube into the groove for affixing the starter strip.<BR/><BR/>So if you figure out how to do that and can post a description and pictures, that would be of great help!Devin Rosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13706894435441471620noreply@blogger.com
