Week 7 2017

Hello!

We're having some wonderful mild weather and now’s the time to set your hornet traps.  They are easy to build and amazingly successful, just don’t empty them out, top them up with more bait, it’s true, nothing seems to be more effective at attracting another hornet, than a trapped one!  Though the first traps should be laced with a mixture of beer, dry white wine and syrup (grenadine flavour is good, but any sweet syrup will work).  The beer and syrup attract the hornet and the white wine will repel the bees.

I'm always looking for events and activities to add into the weekly Newsletter, so if you have an event you would like promoted, or see or hear of something that may be of interest please don't hesitate to let me know.  Take a photo of a poster on your phone and send it over, or add it in the comments at the bottom of the page.

Many thanks for all your continued support, whatever you do this week in the Gironde and Dordogne regions, have a lovely time.

Best wishes,
Helen
