I did this with a 2 liter soda bottle a few years ago.
If you have a dog, you have bait, if you get my drift.
Worked like a charm.
Thanks for a great Instructable!

what if they get out out of the hole?

Its impossible for them to fly or get out of the hole, because of the shape.

Great for "distracting" bees too - then you can release them safely away from kids. African bees can be quite nasty and unwelcome at picnics and camp-sites.
