Swarm traps

Hey all,

Bo and I were talking about swarm trap designs,  so I thought I would link  a few interesting ones.

We should have a competition!!  lol

http://beehivejournal.blogspot.com/2010/05/swarm-and-3-bait-hives.html   there is a video of a round tube design here also.

http://feralhoneybees.homestead.com/Trap1.html   this is a recycled cardboard box type,  making it easier to remove the hive once caught...using standard Lang.deep frames.

http://feralhoneybees.homestead.com/Trap3.html  This site shows using a regular Nuc design...probably better as you can just keep them as nucs! 

                                                                         But at the bottom is a nice wax carboard box design....I would tape a plastic bag over the top for rain.
