I know deer are attracted to molasses and "sweet" fruits like pears and apples. Are deer attracted to honey? Maybe mix a little vanilla extract with some honey - would you have anything other than a sticky mess and ants?

I've never heard anything like that before, but it definitely wouldn't surprise me. I'd probably put it on an old stump though.

sounds like a glaze for ribs. they would probably eat it , maybe not thier favorite

sure would at least attract the bees!

and who doesn't like bees!?!?!?

i have used both honey and molassas. they both work just fine

Thanks forr the replies. As a beekeeper, I generally have some "old" honey around that I usually use to feed the bees. I think I'm going to put a little vanilla extract in some and pour it on a stump and see what happens (may even take 'em a Hardees biscuit).

I'm sure the bears would love it too.
