@bee.jeweled.coop: Honey bees are one of the most important pollinators in the world, responsible for pollinating a third of the food we eat. Unfortunately, honey bee populations have been declining due to habitat loss, pesticide use, and disease. That's why I'm so excited to share our latest project with you - a homemade swarm trap for honey bees! Our swarm trap can safely capture honey bee swarms, which are often found during the spring and summer months. By attracting these swarming bees to our trap, we can give them a new home where they can thrive and continue to pollinate the plants in our area. Not only does this help support the local ecosystem, but it also provides us with an opportunity to learn more about these fascinating creatures and the vital role they play in our environment. If you're interested in creating your own swarm trap for honey bees, there are plenty of resources available online to help you get started. From choosing the right materials to finding the perfect location, building a swarm trap can be a fun and rewarding DIY project for anyone who loves nature and wants to make a difference. #savethebees #beekeeping #DIY #pollinators #honeybees #Sustainability #naturelovers #EcoFriendly #gardening #homesteading #beeawareness

45 year beekeeper here. A drop of lemon grass oil on a cotton ball in the far inside corner of the swarm trap works best.

I lost my hives during the vortex, too. I'm too nervous to rely on swarm catching so I bought new packages 😬

always put your swarm trapp on the shady side of the tree also you could put some queen bee pheromone in it and it's not warm enough to put your trapp

I hope you didn't put a full frame with honey in the box. Bees will just rob the honey. It needs to be empty honeycomb frames with no honey in it.

great idea. I've just always saturated a cotton ball with lemongrass oil and shoved it just inside the opening.

I coat the inside on the box with wax too and I use slow release capsules to prevent having the LGO smell being too strong.
