Swarm Trap to Lure a Colony of Bees.



I make most of the equipment for swarm removal using recycled materials. This box can be used to lure bees out from the fabric of a building.

Sometimes the hive may be too well established and the fabric of the building will have to be cut into or removed.

The alternative of poisoning the colony in situ can create other problems, such as staining, bad smells and attracting other pests that the bees naturally repel such as ants and mice.

Removing a swarm or colony of bees is the most desirable option for you, for the bees, and for the ecology.

If you have a swarm of bees roosting in a tree or if they have made a hive in your home and you don't want them around give me a call. I will re house them as a productive bee hive and will then pass the colony on to a keen beekeeper.
