@HerbalHelper Your combo tip sounds promising, I might try that on the herbs. Bees love mint, so I’m curious if it deflects them or attracts more!
After one boiling season of repelling bees, I realized rerouting is better than repelling. Instead of cinnamon, I now keep a ‘bee-friendly corner’ with sage and lavender away from doors.
Best approach? Low cinnamon dust + dense marigold border + rotating potted herbs. Keeps bees safely distanced without harming them or sounding alarms.
