Damn I should of applied for the grant. I use a similar system to kill fruit flys around my various fruit trees.

Quick How-to

1. Cut 600ml bottle.

2. Invert top into opening (see pic).

3. Tape with red and yellow (i read somewhere that fruit flys are attracted to it)

4. Fill with something 'sweet', some honey or even apple cider vinegar.

5. Add a dash of detergent. (maybe some white oil)

6. Hang on fruit tree near fruit.

The flys go in, they land on the mixture, detergent sticks to them and they drown.

I have never seen a bee in there.
