Our Experience with the Carpenter Bee trap
The Carpenter Bee Trap from bee Warehouse is designed for safe catch and release, featuring a unique latch that allows easy access to the catch chamber without harm to the bees. I found the extra large catch chamber especially convenient, as it typically only needs emptying once a year, saving me from frequent climbing.The trap's effectiveness ranges between 5-15 feet, and its pre-drilled holes are cleverly designed to attract carpenter bees while excluding other types of bees. Using it was straightforward; no elaborate lures or baiting trays were needed. The smooth operation of the latch made relocating the captured bees effortless.
I appreciate the trap's focus on safety and environmental responsibility.The patented design under D928271 ensures reliability, and the long-range effectiveness covers most of my outdoor needs. The included hanging hardware adds to its versatility, making it easy to position in problem areas. However, the initial setup requires careful placement to maximize its potential. The large capacity means less frequent maintenance, which is a significant plus for busy users.Here’s a summary of key features, pros, and cons:
