Sand the inside and pour melted beeswax (brood wax) and let it roll around to thinly coat. Paint outside a dark color to eliminate light. Orange allows light. Also, be careful when retrieving bees. Texas has Africanized bees.

You may want to put some drain holes and air holes. And a small landing platform 👍

[@robmelvin280]

Awesome job I’m going to do the same

[@slimsslim921]

Thanks so much very creative

[@JFMercyWellness]

I'm totally new can you set up Bee trap's any time of the year?

[@MattPatterson1411]

They usually only swarm in the spring.

[@kennylecroy9706]

I just hung mine with a rope,so no frames ?

[@MattPatterson1411]

No frame needed. You can hang a piece a comb or something inside if you’d like and they’ll land on that. You can also put a frame inside the bucket as well but it’s not a necessity:

[@TonyGuyParker]

Awesome! What diameter Main Entrance hole did you drill?

[@enjoynaturehoney]
