Hm, I don't know - we want to keep the snails completely out of the hose in the first place, so they don't block it. If they crawl into the hose and then get stuck, the bumblebees are blocked. Sand might be useful if you put it around the entrance, though. Snails tend to avoid sandy areas, since they might get dried out by crawling through them. @Daria: You mean to make it harder for them to crawl through the hose?

Just an idea, I don`t know if it will work... Oh, and maybeit would be an extra precaution against snails if you glue sand or chrushed seashells to the inside of the hose?
