Product Instructions

Installation & Placement

• Select a location facing South to Southeast — morning sun helps bees warm up and begin flying earlier.
• Provide afternoon shade in hot regions that consistently exceed 90°F / 32°C.
• Mount on a wall, fence, or post at approximately 5 ft (1.5 m) for observation and pest protection.
• The built-in keyhole slot makes hanging easy with a single screw or nail.
• Place within 300 ft (100 m) of flowering plants to ensure pollen and nectar are nearby.
• Keep away from bird feeders and bird nesting areas.
