Hi TJ, if you add little sticks on the treacle, across the length of the tin that they can stand on, they shouldn't get stuck

I have been told to hang tins partially filled with treacle in my apple and pear trees to help combat coddling moth. My neighbour has an apiary nearby and I am worried that this treatment will cause bees to also get caught in the sticky mess, The tins are inside onion sacks.
Any suggestions please?

Bees and beekeeping equipment
Dr Mark Goodwin is looking for some very old NZ American foulbrood spores (spores of Panibacillus larvae a disease of honey bees). He needs to swab or collect detritus from any very old beekeeping equipment, skeps, old comb, old hive parts, or very old honey. They want to know how long the spores survive and whether there are any genetic differences between them and the ones that are currently causing disease in hives. If you can help, please let him know.
