Testing the efficacy of Sluggo on my pepper plants :|
Â
I rescued a bumblebee hive (well, I rescued it, let's hope it lives) from a friend doing exterior work on his home; it was inside the wall, camped out in some insulation. It's a small hive and I got the plans for a "hive" off the internet: an inverted flower pot into which I jammed some chicken wire, old mouse nest (apparently they like the scent), and straw. On top, I put a couple small stones, a piece of slate as a roof over the entrance (flower pot drainage hole), then a heavy rock to keep it in place.
