How to Set Swarm Traps to catch honeybees | Spring 2021 (Beekeeping 101)

Winter is over and it's time to set swarm traps to catch honeybees this spring! In this beekeeping 101 tutorial, John shows us how to properly place a swarm trap to efficiently catch the most bees. There's some great advice in this one. Don't mind the wind, jump on in! (no seriously, it was really windy so forgive the audio please 😊) Swarm traps are a great tool for the beekeeper. They can help you greatly increase the amount of bees in your apiary, or even just capture a feral colony for relocation. Whatever your purpose, we have everything you need to start trapping.
