Here is what happened to a....a friend, yeah that's right...a friend, who was a doofus and forgot to take off the feeder can and extra box after installing a package. ;)
Scroll down to the picture with the top box turned on end.
Man, what an idiot! :roll:

Nice, willing to bet you're not the first. The praying mantis pic just below that is awesome too by the way.
I meant your friend is not the first ;)
Tell your "friend" that putting crumpled newspaper around those cans help prevent that in case he would forget again in the future!!! :-D :-D
"He" should have let them finish and done a cutout demonstration at a later date.
I have never seen a mantis big enough to kill a hummingbird. Nor did I realize they could.

I thought it was a million in one type thing. But if you search "praying mantis kills hummingbird" you can see other peoples photos of the same thing.
Thank you drriggs73 ;)
Once. Left a open box over a 10 frame deep after catching a swarm late in the day thinking it would help in the catch since it was late and I would pull it off the next day. Well, I got to it a few days later and they were building on the top cover. Made me always think about bee space and how a swarm will build from the top down even if there drawn frames below.
Hey, just got to thinking. This ain't on the same line as I put just water in the radiator in the truck last winter thing?
