Don't worry about slugs.

But, if you do, they won't climb up vaseline. You could vaseline
the hive legs.

It wouldn't stay on - I've tried it.

It stays on my pots, and wood. Last a few day, even in the rain.


A few days isn't permanent, slugs are.

Tell me about it. The nematodes work, sort of, for a few weeks or more,
especially when the slugs "disappear". And I've never had a slug problem
except in wet weather. Luck, I guess.
