“Introduction to Swarm Trapping” by Bob Muller, Sun Mountain Apiary. This month we have an in-person meeting!
Whether you are interested in just getting started capturing bees in swarm traps, or have been doing it awhile, this presentation will provide tips to improve your swarm catching skills. With swarm season just weeks away, Bob will show you how to construct, locate, bait, and hive “free bees” from swarms in your area. Multiple options will be presented with sample swarm trap designs and lures available for those attending to examine. Get ready for spring and don’t miss this comprehensive and fun presentation!
