When you live in an orchard in a very sweet smelling hive ~ well, you expect to have a few ant visitors from time to time. BUT sometimes the ant colony decides to make a run on your hives and it drives the bees absolutely crazy!!! You can hear them inside the hive buzzing and complaining!!! And when ants overrun a colony, your bees may decide to leave or abscond and move elsewhere.
Send in cinnamon to the rescue! Just sprinkle fresh ground cinnamon all around your hives ~ ants hate it and won't bother your hives again :) and your hives will smell super yummy!
