[QUOTE="Alastair, post: 7054, member: 13"] Fair comment Otto. Up here there can be plenty of ants in a beehive, primarily under the lid and on top of the hive mat. In bad cases the mat can be black with them. Or in an area heavily infested with argentine ants they can go right inside the hive in huge numbers and drive away the bees. The way I discovered vespex is effective on ants is from seeing an ant trail going into the plastic trap you put the vespex in, and they were actually carrying little bits of vespex away. So wow, i thought, let's see what happens next time I'm here. Next time, the hive right next to that tree that had a major ant colony, had none. or more correctly, just some dead ones. [/QUOTE]
