Honey Bee Swarm Trapping Bait Hive with 10 Frames and 25 Wax Sheets. A Swarm trap hive including. Ready assembled swarm trap hive. 25 DN4 wax foundation sheets. Ready assembled roof complete with robust steel cover. This swarm trap hive is compatible with National and WBC frames! They will hold 5 deep brood frames (12×14) with extra space below the frames to give the feeling of space that scout bees require to lead their swarm to your box. Easily hangs using a’French Cleat’. This allows the box to hang securely and vertically so that the bees build out their comb within the frames instead of’cross-combing’. The small weather port, landing stage and entrance slot attracts bees to the box as they like these features. This swarm trap box is perfect for holding bees for long periods of time when waiting for an available beehive that they can be moved to. The swarm trap is also known as a’bait hive’ and is designed and situated to attract bee swarms. Bees can be baited into the trap by placing frames and wax inside. This hive is sent ready assembled. The hive is made from solid pine and plywood with a solid base. External surfaces will need treating with an insect friendly wood preservative to extend the life of your hive.

HONEYBEE BAIT HIVE- Designed for Warre Beehives Catch your bee swarm

This bait hive is made of Macrocarpa wood and marine plywood AA grade for the bottom and roof. I make them to order. After a swarm moves into the bait hive you can easily transfer the bees to your existing Warre Hive without disturbing them as the top box is removable and fits onto your Warre hive perfectly. You can reuse this bait hive as many times as you wish, if you catch a swarm you just need a new Warre box and its good to go again. It comes semi-assembled: the bottom box is built for you but the top box is un-assembled. It comes with instructions on how to assemble the box and information on how to be successful in catching a swarm. It’s a great way to catch free bees this next season. You can place this bait hive on top of your garage, caravan, roof or hang it on trees, posts, etc. The standard bait hive comes with. Bottom box with entrance (assembled). Top box with 8 top bars (un-assembled). Standard roof lid. Back post for hanging (assembled). You can choose from the options if you want an extra telescopic roof for added protection from rain. The telescopic roof can only be used if you are just placing it on top a structure and not hanging it. If you are going to hang it somewhere you can use the lid that comes with it which can also be weatherproofed and it’s explained in the instructions. The rope is a great idea to help hanging it on trees, making it much easier and safer to bring the bait hive up and down the tree or post. The photos show the bait hive already fully assembled for illustration, the top box comes unassembled, screws not included. This item is in the category “Home & Garden\Other Home & Garden”. The seller is “savayava” and is located in this country: AU. This item can be shipped worldwide.

Honey Bee Swarm Trap / Bait Hive

A hand built Swarm Trap, built to my tried and thoroughly tested design. I have caught over 54 swarms in traps of this design over the last 11 years. I have eight traps out during the swarm season so achieve a greater than 50% hit rate! Last year was exceptional and I caught 14 swarms in eight traps not all at the same time, as I had to explain to my eight year old son!! They are made of Marine Plywood (WPB 12mm), glued and nailed together prior to three coats of Dulux WeatherShield paint. They have a removable aluminium and timber lid giving brilliant durability. They will hold 5 deep brood frames (12×14) with extra space below the frames to give the feeling of space that scout bees require to lead their swarm to your box. There is a small weather porch, a landing stage and an entrance slot that they appear to like. These combine to make these box traps really attractive and successful. The entrance hole is easily restricted by two vertically driven nails to prevent mice and birds taking up residence without restricting the opening for bees. This is more of a winter problem though so isnt usually required. At the back of the box to the top, is an all important, 2 mesh covered ventilation hole. There is a “french cleat” on the back of the box. The other half of this simple hanging device is supplied loose within the box, just waiting to be screwed to your chosen spot. It allows the trap to hang securely and vertically so that the bees build out their comb within the frames instead of cross-combing. The box does not come with deep brood frames. These are available separately. It comes with simple baiting and set up instructions and a small amount of attractant on a pair of clingfilm wrapped cotton buds. Get ready for the warm weather and swarming season. These have been a great investment over the years for me, but more importantly than that, the satisfaction of giving a wild swarm of honey bees a new, safe and productive home is immense. All you have to do is then remove the frames into a hive (National or WBC compatible) and tip the remaining bees in afterwards. These really do work, will last you many years and you’ve only got to catch one swarm and its more than paid for itself. I always have one in the back of the car just in case I get a call, and always have one next to my hives, just in case I’ve missed something and one of my colony throws an unexpected swarm. See the “youtube” link below: I took this video on the morning on 16th May 2019. My third swarm of the season thus far! Join in the fun!! I hate to think of how many swarms must settle in poorly chosen places and subsequently fail. Please help them and me! I look forward to hearing you.
