How Swarm Traps Work

Swarming is a natural part of a honeybee colony’s life cycle—when a hive outgrows its space, scout bees search for a new home. Our swarm traps are designed to attract these scouts with the perfect combination of space, scent, and security. Pair them with a swarm lure (like lemongrass oil or pheromone blends) and watch as bees move in to start building their new colony. Once they’ve settled, simply transfer them to your hive and enjoy the rewards of free, resilient bees!
