Oh well, I was going to put on my bee suit etc. anyway - and besides,
I'm allergic to fragrances -.
I was weedwacking next to our starfruit tree this afternoon, which is
currently full of bees, and they just went about their business,
making sure we get lots of starfruit.
They didn't say anything about using a scent on the sticky board,
but I may find out more about that tomorrow.
Aloha,
Maren
