Maybe lemongrass oil, or just plain old honey.

Perhaps essence of snake.... :roll:

A beehive nearby will do far more.

The label says this:

"Honey Bee Attractant is a blend of selected pheromones identified by
researchers to attract worker bees to potential food sources (flowers)."

[AllenF]

So it is flower scent?   Ain't that what the flowers are for?

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

A pheromone (from Greek φέρω phero "to bear" + hormone from Greek ὁρμή - "impetus") is a secreted or excreted chemical factor that triggers a social response in members of the same species. Pheromones are chemicals capable of acting outside the body of the secreting individual to impact the behavior of the receiving individual.[1] There are alarm pheromones, food trail pheromones, sex pheromones, and many others that affect behavior or physiology. Their use among insects has been particularly well documented. In addition, some vertebrates and plants communicate by using pheromones.
