I converted my pool to salt water this year. I have notice the Bees are
attracted to it more than before. Would the Salt attract them? or is it just
maybe more Bees this year? The salt level is very low. Also I noticed they
do not seem to go in the Bee traps. ( yes I put new attractant in them) Also
I was engaged in the Male sport of swatting at Bees bare handed and got
stung, but it's about 30 to 1 I'm kicking ass.

Somehow, 30 to 1 doesn't sound like winning odds.

No idea about the salt.

Are you dealing with bees or wasps?

i got stung by a yellow jacket twice at one attack last summer. follow
them home, nest may be in tree or even in your home eaves, must wait
until one hour after dark, then use the aerosol wasp/hornet spray on
the nest. more at:

Neither. It's Bees.

perhaps the bees are less repelled by the salt than by what you were using
last year (chlorine?)

The pool still uses chlorine. I think there might be a new nest around.

The salt water feels much nicer to swim in. Also the salt is used to
generate chlorine. there is a turbo cell that a small eclectic current goes
threw it that makes the chlorine. But when it gets hot you still have to
shock the pool. The salt content is 3 parts per million ( the ocean is 30
parts) so you can't taste the salt.

This time of the year the YJ diet is meat. If you are baiting with
juices, you may have better luck with bologna (raw). Though the water
will be as much as an attractant as food you put out for them, they need
it to survive.

Try to find The Amazing Handheld Bug Zapper, it works, but get 2 they
only work a few months.

it has to be bees. because yellow jackets or wasps would not be so
easily killed with out attacking full force...
