Description

This is an print to store a well of honey-based ant bait (colony killer) in a bee-proof enclosure that the ants can get to but the bees cannot.

ants typically go for either of two food sources. Sweet sugary sources or protein sources. Depending on the colony needs at the time (brooding or building). Unfortunately, bee safe baits (protein or solid baits) don't interest ants raiding for honey because they are after a surgery food source like honey. But if you put out sweet bait, the bee's will be attracted to it. 

This is designed to solve that problem by allowing you to put bait out in the path of the ants raiding your hive without the bee's being able to reach the poison. 

Tested on my own beehive and works great. Was printed in PLA+ but for hotter climates I would recommend PETG.
