Well we finally made our new setup so that ants can’t get to our hives again. Here it is:
We built a wood frame, then got some long bolts and PVC caps. We drilled holes into the wood, stuck the bolts into the wood and placed the other end inside the PVC cap. The cap is filled with vegetable oil to create a moat around each leg to trap any ants. So far so good, no ants have made it past the traps.
Beelievable 
Good Luck, can’t wait, running out of honey!
We still have honey if you need some more. 🙂
Awesome! Now you just have to watch out for the ones parachuting in 🙂
Yes! We thought of that too and trimmed back all the trees around our hive to reduce the possibility of that happening. 🙂 Ants are clever!
