Forest swarm trap for capturing swarms , designed to be placed on trees, posts, or strategic points in the apiary during swarming season. It is a lightweight, durable, and practical box for attracting, collecting, and transporting swarms of bees more easily and safely.

Its swarm-capture box design provides scout bees with a closed, ventilated, and suitable space to temporarily settle. It is a very useful tool for beekeepers who want to take advantage of natural swarms, reduce losses due to swarming, and increase the number of hives in their apiary.

Made of fiberglass-reinforced polypropylene , it combines low weight with good resistance for outdoor use. It includes a ventilation system, an adjustable entrance, and a metal support for easy placement at height or in areas where swarms frequently pass through.

• Ideal for swarm hunting in spring and early summer.
• Lightweight and manageable box , easy to transport, place and remove.
• Durable material made of fiberglass-reinforced PP, suitable for field use.
• Capacity for frames , facilitating the subsequent transfer of the swarm to a permanent hive.
• Double ventilation to improve internal aeration during capture and transport.
• Sliding entrance , useful for opening, closing or regulating the entry of bees.
• Metal bracket included for hanging the swarm on a tree, post or suitable structure.
• For professional and amateur use , recommended for apiaries, forest areas, farms, orchards and places where swarms usually appear.

To improve its effectiveness, it is recommended to place the swarm trap before the peak of swarming, in quiet, slightly elevated areas, protected from excessive direct sunlight and near places where swarms have appeared in previous years. It can be used in conjunction with wax, worked frames, or a specific swarm attractant.

Once the interior is occupied, the entrance allows the swarm to be closed for easier and more controlled transfer. Afterward, the frames can be moved to the permanent hive, reducing stress for the bees and simplifying the beekeeper's work.
