Swarm Trap Build with Cole's Farm

[@Blackswan19874]

I built the exact same boxes 8 total . The only thing I added was screened ventilation holes (6) on the bottom . Our traps have all had high success rates and already 3 out of 4 placed out last week have swarms . We leave the bees in the traps for two weeks to allow them to build up a decent amount of comb . Nice presentation, thanks !

Terry thanks so much for the comment, we have had rain so once its over I think the swarms will start, scouts at one trap already.

Great job! Have you had birds move in?

[@WardensFarmNC]

Not as of yet that's what the nails are for to keep the birds out and only let the bees in

What type of stapler are you using?

[@WardensFarmNC]

Using 18 gauge nails.

@@WardensFarmNC thanks! I've seen electric ones but can't get off the money to get one. However I think it would make assembly go much faster!

It really does help. Good luck on your build and catching bees!
