Would RecommendI was skeptical about this working but my husband bought it to try after a more expensive sticky trap thing didn't catch anything after several weeks. He put this be trap up and it sat there empty for about a week. Then, within just a few days time frame, husband counted well over 20+ bees in there! Once you can get one in, it invites all its friends in for a party, apparently. I plan to buy another one.
Natural trap for wood boring bees
Would RecommendIt takes time but once one carpenter bee enters more follow.

delivered the wrong thing.
Would Not Recommendordered bee traps but they delivered mulch.
Worthless
Would Not RecommendCarpenter bee flew all around this trap, but totally ignored it. As suggested, I caught and put a few bee into it, 2 dead and one alive. It didn't help. This was a total waste of money.

Great trap!
Would RecommendHung it up and within the day I had a carpenter bee in it and then after 5 days I had 3. I am building a new deck and they were hovering to much for my liking.

Really good trap
Would RecommendWithin a day or 2 after I hung 3 of these traps in different locations on my fence, there must have been about 20 carpenter bees trapped. I leave the dead bees in, they seem to attract the other bees to the traps. That's 20 or so less bees burrowing into my fence or house. Worth the investment.
expensive but effective
Would Recommend$20 for a block of wood and a plastic box is a bit much. Yet they are effective. they have been up for 3 days, and there are several in each trap. Seem to be a haven for the bees just before and during a heavy rain storm.
It works!
Would RecommendI have used this product for the last two years to control the carpenter beetles that are in our area. After using it last season, I noticed that there was no additional damage to my wood fencing. This year I installed another due to the infestation in the woods behind my home and the untreated wooden fences surrounding a public utility compound. So far, after 3 days, it has caught 3 more beetles. It does not attract honeybees.
