Swarm Capture

Bee Swarm Tools

Swarming season doesn’t have to be a chaotic time for your apiary. With the right preparation and bee swarm tools from Dadant & Sons, you can handle swarms with ease and confidence. When swarming season is in progress, you can use swarm lures and other bait for bees to capture the honey bee swarm. Swarming occurs when a honey bee colony experiences a boom in population and productivity. The bigger the colony gets, the less room there is in the hive for all the comb and food they need. In response, the colony will split and a swarm of honey bees will leave the hive looking for a new home. You can capture the roaming bees by using our honey bee swarm lure in a Nuc Box or empty hive placed in your bee yard or back yard. Capturing swarms keeps the honey bees safe and lets you expand your apiary without having to purchase bees. Make sure you’re ready for swarming season by stocking up on bee swarm tools from Dadant & Sons today.
