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.
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

And finally...
Thank you to everyone who supports this Newsletter/blog. What started as a hobby as become something of a passion. It looks like this week it may tip over to 400,000 views! Not bad for such a niche audience.
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.
Also please feel free to send the link on to family, friends and visitors to this beautiful region. I love meeting people who say they have been to an event as they saw it on the newsletter.
