Swarm Commander Line of Products

Swarm Commander is a widely used pheromone swarm lure that mimics the natural scent scout bees follow to a new home. Bait a trap or an empty hive with it and passing honey bee swarms are far more likely to move in — a low-cost way to catch local bees and grow your apiary. It comes in several formats so you can match how you bait and how long you need the scent to last.

Choose your format

How it works

Apply the lure to a bait hive or swarm trap placed along a tree line or flight path during spring swarm season. Scout bees searching for a home pick up the pheromone, inspect the cavity, and lead the swarm in. Pick the format by how you like to work: spray and crush vials for quick application, gel and the super lure when you want the scent to last without re-dosing.

Good to know

  • Works best during spring swarm season, in a trap or empty hive of the right cavity size.
  • Pair it with a swarm trap if you don't already run bait hives.
  • The formats differ mainly in how you apply them and how long the scent lasts — all draw swarms the same way.
  • Use as directed; keep lures away from established colonies you don't intend to bait.
