You are bidding on a new, solid wood honeybee swarm trap. I purchased a swarm trap but it didn't work very well so I did some research on what bees look for in a new home and built some of these and they work great. Now I am having them built to sell to other Beekeepers. The trap is completely assembled. The hanger cross members are not attached so it can be shipped. It just takes 8 screws to reassemble it. Don't put frames with brood or honey in the trap. Mount the hanging bracket to a tree at least 6 feet high with 2 screws. Then set the swarm box on top and wrap the bungee cord around the trap and hanging bracket so the wind won't blow it off. Put about 3 drops of lure just inside the entrance and refresh every 7 days. When you have caught some bees, wait until just before dark when all the bees are in the trap and close the dial entrance and tighten the wing nut. Take the bungee cord and wrap it around the trap to hold the top on while transporting it. All you have to do is take them to their new location, lift out the frames of bees and put them in their new home. Then the trap can be used again. The bees you caught made it thru the winter in your area and know how to survive. You can't buy better bees anywhere else. Put the trap up in an area with a lot bees. I put up these swarm traps in my bee yards so I can catch the swarms from my own bees. If I take bees out of a house, I ask the owner if I could put up a swarm box so the bees won't return to the house. When I go get a swarm, I ask the landowner if I can put up a swarm box the next year. When you catch a swarm of bees you are not only a beekeeper but now are a honeybee trapper. It comes complete with a hanging bracket, plastic dial entrance, aluminum top cover, bungee cord and SWARM LURE. IT ALSO COMES WITH 7 SMALL CELL PLASTIC FRAMES AND FOUNDATION THAT HAVE UNFILLED COMB AND 2 FRAMES THAT HAS FILLED COMB. A TOTAL OF 8 FRAMES. THIS TRAP IS READY TO USE. THE TRAP HAS AN ALUMINUM TOP THAT WILL LAST FOR YEARS COMES WITH FREE SWARM TRAP LURE Comes with instructions. Lightweight, easy to put up and take down. A little more expensive than most swarm traps but well worth it. It is unpainted. WE ALSO SELL A TRAP WITHOUT THE FRAMES AND FOUNDATION. CLICK ON CHECK OUT MY OTHER ITEMS BELOW. One swarm caught and the trap is paid for and after that it's $ money $ in the bank. Here in Indiana bees from the south sell for about $100.00 to $150.00 for a nuc. Local Indiana honeybees sell $25.00 to $50.00 more for a nuc than out of state honeybees. We are a retired couple trying to help out the honeybees. They have been declining in numbers the last few years. We offer products to help beekeepers to raise healthy honeybees and to successfully keep them alive. We also want beekeepers to learn how to raise their own bees without buying queens or nucs. When you accomplish this, you will be able to stay in the beekeeping business.
