Wood Pulp Honeybee Swarm Trap

Efficiently capture wild honeybee swarms using a lightweight, bee‑friendly trap made from wood pulp. Ideal for cost-effective beekeeping that supports colony establishment.

Key Features

  • Made from durable, water‑resistant wood pulp
  • Easy to set up and operate
  • Lightweight at approximately 5 lbs
  • Dimensions: 24 × 24 × 12 in
  • Designed for use with Swarm Commander lures or crush vials

How to Use

  1. Hang the trap 8–10 feet off the ground, preferably along a woodline.
  2. Bees enter through the hole at the end of the bucket.
  3. When you’re ready to retrieve the bees, simply detach the bucket from the base.
  4. Check regularly—captured swarms form a seal and may begin drawing comb.
