I need to know a way to keep bugs and bees off grapevines. Last year the only way to pick them way to go early in the morning because they swarmed so bad. I tried a bee trap with soda and soap, it worked but there were still alot after it was filled. Also how to keep spiders and ants off the grapes, if there is a way at all.

I should of added that the bees are the problems after the grapes have grown, they are feeding on the grapes and causing the grapes to go bad, so when I go to pick the grapes there will be a bunch of grapes that are half nogood

If you get rid of the bugs you won't have grapes. Without the bees your vine doesn't get pollinated. Without the spiders, your vine will be overrun with unwanted and destructive insects. The Ants collect and herd Aphids away from your vine because they produce a sweet dew out of their butts and they use the dew as another food source. The bugs are supposed to be there. Leave them to do their jobs.

I don't know why you want to do this?Spiders, ants and bees are looking after your vines.They are getting rid of the bugs that feed on the leaves and fruit.I would only want to get ridof bugs that are doing harm. If you remove the ones you mention, your likely to get bad fruit.There is a proper spraying program for grapes, but this is for bugs that do harm.Check out Yates Garden Guide or similar.
