Why isn't there a funnel to prevent the bees from escaping? Mine has about a 3" hole between the jar and box.

they can't figure out how to get out -- I have completely eliminated the Carpenter Bees

I attached the jar lid to the bottom of the box to cover the hole. I have no space between them.

I don't know why you have a space- when I screwed the jar on the bottom it fits up against the bottom of the trap-tightly- there is no escape once they fall into the jar- I've watched them try to get out--maybe you don't have the jar screwed on correctly???

What I do is put water in it so it doesn't flow out & then thru the top of it, I put a teaspoon of honey in . The wasps & hornets, etc. love it & you will love that they cannot come out again!.......Diane

I am sorry, I left the funnels at camp and will not have access to them for another month. I use mine to refill my cooking oil into a squirt bottle. I need to use the smallest funnel to fit inside the top so the oil doesn't run out. Sorry I couldn't be more helpful.

The threads on the pollen chamber are probably sealed too tightly together, try using something with lots of grip to try to open it. A rubber jar opener may work or a semi damp cloth could help to Un tighten the chamber.

I have these bees too. I don't think so. The problem is where to apply the product. I'd change my response to say that if you could figure a way to put this where they burrow probably.

There is a rubber ring around the rim and I believe this allows the jar to seal tight enough to keep out pantry moths and other critters. I have been using these for years and have hand pantry moths during that time (from a cat food bag), but all of the food sealed in these jars remained safe.

There are a couple tiny holes on the door, but I recommend you add more. I used a drill bit about the size of the 4 that are already there and added a bunch all around the trap. Plus, it will only aid in the mouse smelling the PB faster if you drill some at the opposite end of the door.

I have no answer to the question of how the bees die in the jar. I can only speculate that they expire due to heat or exhaustion. The are not physically able to climb the glass jar or fly straight up back into the trap. There is nothing needed to put into the jar to catch carpenter bees although I have heard through my customers and through personal experience, that if you stun one of the males and put them into the catch jar, it attracts other bees.Tony, Chrisman Mill Farms LLCWood Bee Gone carpenter bee traps

No, I don't have bee guards. I only use the jelly cups because I attract more birds with jelly than I ever did with nectar.

There is no filter to this just a funnel. I use for honey and it works well as it leaves my larger buckets and jars room to drip in different areas and not just the main stream.

There is a hole for hangers. I got some of the cedar hanger discs to put at the top to ward off the bugs, hopefully.

I usually fill mine upside down. I place a small funnel in the bottom and press the lever to open the hole. Pour honey in to fill.

No. I have to use a funnel to fill it. I have a funnel set (sorry, do not remember where I purchased it. Maybe Ikea.) , and I have to use the smallest funnel in the set to fill it. But this is the best feeder and keeps the bees away. I love it. Actually getting ready to purchase another as the other feeders attract too many bees/wasps.

There are no holes in the bread box, but the door probably does leave some room for a small flat insect to get through. Sorry, that's a tough one to deal with.

Hi, Carissa: Bees will sit and drink, I haven't found one that they don't find but depending on the bee, have you tried bee catchers? The reason I like it is because you unscrew the bottle, the top lid pops off and it's wide open for cleaning. If you ever find one they don't bother be sure and post on Amazon.

I did not buy the funnel thing. I just pour baby food jars right into the open top. I use a spoon to get the last few spoonfuls out of the jar and into the pouch. Works just fine.

I haven't needed any nectar guard tips for my Hummzingers....the bees and wasps don't seem to be able to get into the nectar ! :)
