Was checking a hayfield earlier and found this box near the property corner. Any idea what it is? There is a hole in the left side and also at the bottom with screen over both. Thanks for the info. [Linked Image]

A purple plastic box strapped to a tree wink

Seriously. Looks like our USDA bug traps..but ours are neon green..like for spotted lantern flies or ash borers


IF IDIOTS GREW ON TREES THIS PLACE WOULD BE AN ORCHARD !

Thats what i was thinking, ive seen some bee threads on here before, just wondering, its not hurting anything but there is a no trespassing sign on the other side of that tree and they had to climb a gate to get inside 5 strands of barbed wire to attach it. Its within 50 yds of the road.

Sounds like a good place for a trail cam to me. Whoever put ir there will be back to get it...

And if you want to you could have them prosecuted.

Here even the USDA can't trespass..even to place bug traps

I did the same. Most that I saw were triangular and painted purple.

I also DuckDuckGo'd honey bee swarm traps and most were configured similar to your pic.


Eh...wot?

Why is this still being debated? It's a honey bee swarm trap as others have stated...

The EAB traps are a three-sided purple canister that hangs from a tree branch much higher in a tree..

Purple also denotes private property.

I have 3 swarm traps out...I like to get mine further off the ground. The inside of the box is painted with a mix of beeswax, olive oil and lemon grass oil. Makes an attractant for bee swarms. Bees prefer a higher home, and getting it 8-10 off the ground will slow down inquisitive bears.
