Swarm Catching:
- Have your regular gear (veil, gloves, smoker, hive tool ect)
- White sheet, to catch a clump on ground
- Box to put them in
- Nuc box, if you have piece of dark comb to add that helps.
- Cardboard box with close-able flap on side.
- Swarm bucket with extension pole.
- tape for cardboard box.
- hedge clippers.
- ratchet strap to keep nuc together
- hardware cloth, foam or dish town to close entrance
- stapler if hardware cloth
- ladder
- camera
- red light flashlight, bees can’t see red.
- Questions
- Address, special directions?
- Where is the swarm?
- How high is it?
- How big is it?
- How long has it been there?
- Has the swarm been spayed with anything?
- Tell the customer how long till you will be there and reassure them that bees when swarming are very docile and that you will relocate them.
