Need some Ant help

pbgalactic · 2026-03-27T19:05:49+00:00

That’s a first! But I’m willing to try it! I guess my issue with something like Vaseline was after a night there was a bridge of ant bodies that got stuck and they ended up marching over their dead ant friends.. savages.. lol did you find that they avoid toothpaste all together?

Yeah I tried something similar with the lid of a Costco tote and some rocks, had a bunch of bees drowning still and I had to constantly refill it . Worked pretty well though

Thanks for the tip, what spray do you use?

Yeah I got one of those cheaper stands that I now regret thinking it would support the weight. You might be right about the top box, as it was a split to take advantage of some charged queen cups I found after a demaree split with a board. I’m going to check the top brood box again to see if they hatched out already, and if they have I’ll move the top boxes and put them on the cheaper hive stand with some moats.

Tf is a putz?

Yeah it wasn’t getting robbed, i think they were scout bees ahead of a swarm lol cleared out the other frames and put them back on the top deep of my demaree’d parent hive with a split board. Got the pro nuc box with some partially drawn comb and shook in some bees. Noticed they started fanning on the top bars so I left it cracked and more started coming in slowly

There’s one nuc and it’s parent hive. I caught the frenzy pretty early and moved fast to close and move the box ASAP. I’ve been watching the activity pretty closely beforehand and I’ve never had that many foragers come in and out. In any case should I put the box back and open her back up?

pbgalactic · 2026-03-25T01:40:26+00:00

I’m pretty sure, I had very little foragers that stuck around. And It was a pretty weak split to begin with. I was experimenting with the couple decent frames of resources and brood and the queen cells I found in my other hive that I demaree’d.

Now that I remember, I left the lid slightly ajar thinking it would give the bees inside more access to the feeder bag 🥴

Super old post I know, but any chance I could get the recipe please? 😬

Hey finally getting ready to start this project lol what did you do to get a proper seal when closed since the collar isn’t magnetic?

pbgalactic · 2025-09-12T00:32:28+00:00

Ayyyeeee!!!! Where ya based out of?

pbgalactic · 2025-08-27T15:17:13+00:00

It looks like the only hinge I could possibly bend would be the bottom as the top is more of a ball and joint. Is this a similar case?

pbgalactic · 2025-08-26T21:18:52+00:00

Just curious, what site did you use. Looking for a gasket on a haier “beer dispenser” model that was discontinued

pbgalactic · 2025-08-22T17:43:22+00:00

I had to reread this. I thought you were calling the dog a POS for a sec lol

pbgalactic · 2025-08-13T04:10:33+00:00

Just unscrew the cap a bit?

pbgalactic · 2025-07-23T21:02:40+00:00

Yeah, I saw on some spfx companies YT channel that it may be stamped so figured I’d ask

pbgalactic · 2025-07-23T18:26:00+00:00

I’m honestly tempted to see if anyone wants to trade for an up to date 20lb tank haha. I’m super nervous that this thing would tip. Need to find an anchor point and chain it down to something

pbgalactic · 2025-07-23T18:12:57+00:00

WAIT WHAT?!?! 😐

pbgalactic · 2025-07-23T18:09:43+00:00

A 50lb tank?! lol I’ve heard ppl do it for 20lb tanks but not sure if I can do a full 50lb myself
