Tom, my son makes those traps out of 4 inch chunks of 4X4 pine. He drills intersecting 1/2 inch holes in the four vertical sides, and one intersecting hole up from the bottom. There's a fruit jar ring screwed to the bottom, with a fruit jar screwed on the ring. A piece of scrap copper wire makes a hanger for the trap. We get a 2 inch layer of dead wood bees in each jar over the summer. It appears to me that you should use untreated wood for these traps, but I have no evidence to back that up. Two 4 inch pieces of pine 2X4 tacked together would work good, I think.
Even with the traps, we still have bees, but not nearly as many.
