When I lived in Oregon, Yellow Jackets were a huge problem in the summer. You almost could not eat outside for fear of biting into one that was enjoying your own hamburger. Back then, our friend, Norbert, would set out his own personal bee catchers made out of a glass jars. He would fill it with orange juice and those bees just loved it! I’m not sure how they got in but I know they could not get out!

Fly and Bee catchers have come a long way compared to the homemade contraptions and hardware store set ups of only a few years ago.

Smith & Hawken has come out with what I think is a stylish outdoor Fly & Wasp Catcher that hangs from the branch of a tree and just looks good. Imagine the reflection of the moonlight off these glass jars every evening while flies and bees struggle to get out. Ahhhhh…. the relaxing days of summer.
