The sizes at them can be the diversified, but it is better to choose such that then it was convenient to put them in a hive.

Place traps in places where there is a nearby reservoir of water. It is better to choose well-lit, not too windy edges, or glades, as well as southern sides of deforestation and forest clearings. For hanging traps more suitable for strong and thick trees, the best option are aspen and spruce. Traps are better to hang at a height of not less than 4 – 5 m and not higher than 12 – 15 m, then more chances that the bees will fly into it. The trap should be placed so that it is accessible to bees, but not visible to outsiders. Before the trap is installed, it is better to rub it with mint, melissa or feline grass, then there is more chance that it will attract bees. To prevent the bee trapping in the trap, it must be checked from time to time. Traps are removed in the evening, subject to all necessary precautions.
