| Video Discription | Bees will naturally swarm for one of two reasons. Either the hive has become too crowded so they split into two groups (or more), with one group remaining in the existing hive. Or they abscond. In this case, all bees including the queen abandon the existing hive completely due to lack of food or water, parasite or disease infestation, frequent disturbance by humans or animals, weather changes, poor ventilation, or problems with the queen 🐝 By placing swarm traps (or Bait Hives) you are providing the swarm with an environment that they feel would be a good place to call home. Scout bees will usually find it first, and will go inside to check the place out. If they like it, they'll head back to the main colony and let every know! Soon there after, the bees will move in - if all goes well 🐝 Once they've moved in, you have to give them some time to get fully settled. Usually 2-3 weeks is long enough, and then you can transport them from the swarm trap over into your bee yard - and into a normal box. It's a good idea to get your traps setup early in spring, to increase your chances to a scout bee "finding" the trap 🐝 Below are a couple earlier videos I posted, on swarm trap construction along with a few other tips that I hope you find useful! 🐝 Building & Setting Swarm Traps: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vm2bgzJw8C 🐝 Year #2 Swarm Traps: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xZH6nlkCO18 ____________________________ That 1870's Homestead P.O.
