| Last year we had a horrible grasshopper population that did a lot of damage. Today my husband and I noticed the baby grasshoppers are already causing damage in our sanfoin and alfalfa fields. He thinks if the grasshoppers aren't sprayed soon they could devastate our corn and hayseed crops as well. What can I do to protect my honeybees while he is spraying these worthless pests? |

| You can lock them up for several day's if needed. I've never done it but been reading about, use screen and cover bottom and top entrance, you can staple it down. I would add shade to keep them cool and a bit dark around the entrance, perhaps leaning a piece of plywood against. Make sure you have a top hole for good ventilation. |
