I purchased a lovely Medieval style bee catcher several years back, and it
is a wonder to behold. I saw one a few years ago that was much smaller, but
identical. It is a glass jar with a hole in the bottom that is raised about
an inch on feet. It has a removable top for cleaning out later, and for
adding a sweet liquid around the hole. The bees are smart enough to get
into the thing, but can't seem to figure out how to get back out again
(unless you accidentally leave the top off <grin>). Having such a catcher
just outside your place of food set up is invaluable, as they tend to go
after its sweet smell and leave the other stuff alone.
