This is an interesting question, Melissa. I've never tried it and I'm not sure if it would work. Smaller native bees could also go into a hole the same size as a cucumber beetle. You could give it a try and report back on your results.]]> In reply to Melissa Gallinaro.

I’m thinking of covering the opening with Saran Wrap or aluminum foil secured with a rubber band. Then poke holes large enough for the beetles but too small for the bees. The scent might still “float out” and attract the beetles but the bees will be barred. Maybe?
