Here is a few ideas and designs to help catch bees. We would also bee glad to send the blue prints by email. roarkrickey@gmail.com May God bless you and your bees!!!!!
I love the design with a ratchet strap. That is a lot easier and more secure than the lag bolt I use. I don't think I have ever seen a swarm trap look so good! Thank you Rickey!
Ralph, I about fell out of a tree last year carrying a large swarm trap up a tree, just knew I needed to make a change. This one is nice but my wife made a few upgrades for a friend and there beautiful. I will send a picture to you but don’t share it, because it is a surprise.
They’re pumping Rickey. I may have to recombine a split if I can’t find a queen. Initially the original queen cell vanished, yes the whole cell😲 Then I dropped in 3 frames of brood all in various stages.
@@rodneymiddleton9624 Rodney that is a great family and they are so kind to me. It will bee a honor to build another hive for Randy’s dad who is disabled. We just like helping others when we can. God bless your family Rodney.
This design is so simple and so easy. And those are the top 2 things that make it PERFECT. The only thing I would ask you to do is to take those design plans and put them on your website, then put a link to your website in the description of this video. .... and where do you get those hooks? edit: I see the plans at the 1:03 mark. Any chance you could put links to the Amazon parts in the description? And what size wood are you using for the box? 3/4" plywood? 1/2" ? You said to buy the Nuc box, lid, & base - from where?
Great tips on swarm traps. Thanks for sharing!
You bet any time!! We just like helping out. Thanks for watching!!

@@beesandtractors Jeff, I believe Rodney needs a full time camera crew with all the swarms he is catching. I need to put my application In ASAP.
