Bee proof liquid ant bait enclosure

thingiverse

A tool to fight ants for beekeepers. This is an enclosure designed to poison ants which might be targeting beehives. whilst keeping the Bee's safe. Ants after honey are after the sugar. Most sweet based ant bait is poisoned honey water which the Bee's will also want to go for. This enclosure has a well in the middle and lid that fits on top. It is designed to hold a small reservoir of the honey water poison in the center such that ants can easily find and get to the bait but bee's cannot. it is also designed to be weather proof meaning you can leave it out in the rain without the bait being leaked or diluted by the rainwater. I would recommend sticking the bait down with some double sided tape to prevent it from being moved. This is because it needs to be kept flat. If its tipped the poison can leak out. (its a liquid after all)
