How do you keep bees away from a barbecue and picnic?

Answer 1

One way (if you are near trees or something you can tie it to) is to take a brown paper bag (any will do even a fast food bag) and make it look sort of like a bees nest. (Blow a little air into it to get a roundish shape and close up the top) You can also buy fake ones but this is much easier. Hang it up near the area and it keeps the bees away. I tried this technique and it worked! From this solution, I have to guess that bees mistake the puffed-up bag for a hornet's nest and that they are bitter enemies, mortal enemies and avoid trouble by not pushing their luck and just leaving the other's territory.

Answer 2

Wasps are attracted to glucose as well as bees, so what you want to do is get an empty but not washed Honey Jar or a Jam Jar so when the bees or wasps come near the honey or jam will distract them, the will investigate and then get stuck in jar, the amount of bees and wasps stuck in the jar proves the effectiveness of the jar, does the same kind of job as fly paper, just Fly paper is not sweet.
