No day time drywashins as the bees just decided they will rule the day,
one time an old boy told us put some beer out for them
it was the biggest mistake we ever made, suckers just got drunk and wanted to fight.

we use no open water out in the bush,
they just get on one from sweating and i guess the C02 coming off the body ?

if your working in a hole or boulder pile theres just no escape.

Ive tried everything,
night mining the only answer and a bit cooler.

I use a 50/50 bleach mix spray them when they show up it will keep them under control

Good
Hunting!!

You would not believe how many small nuggets i have found in drywasher tailing piles.

Anyone dry washing should carry a good detector like a gold bug 2 to check there tailing piles at the end of the day.
