Swarm Trap Update

2025 Swarm Trap Update

The swarm trap was unsuccessful this season. We actually didn’t even see as many honeybees in the gardens this year as in previous years. Each time I checked in on the hive, there weren’t any signs interest from anyone. Not even the wasps moved in this year!

The hive has been taken apart and is now in the garage for storage. It will be set up again next year to try to catch a swarm, but I may also look into finding another way to get bees. Working with the bees was something I missed a lot this season and I would like to find a way to be able to work with them next year.
