Homemade Honeybee Swarm Lure (Bee Bait)

In the spring honeybees naturally swarm. During this time, many beekeepers setup swarm traps to try to catch these clusters of bees. Baiting swarm traps with a swarm lure helps to increase your chances of getting free bees. In this video, I share how to make homemade swarm lure with dead queen bees. Are you ready to learn?

[heathjones]

Sorry to bother you but I am new to bee keeping and want to know what else I can use to lure bees in my traps . Ty

I too came here for fishing lures. Any ideas on how to get a hook onto a dead bee and preserve the bee body in heat and water conditions?

Hi Jason, thanks for the tips. 1 question: can you use virgin queens for this?

[johntanner]

Do I need to store the queen / alcohol mixture in the refrigerator? Thanks

[beemanrunning]

Did I miss something? What is all the other junk in the bottle? Love the videos Jason. Thanks

Hey Jason. Great video! Will virgin queens be as potent as an older mated queen? Also have as many pheromones? Thanks

[electricengineer]

Amazing job bro, thanks abunch, love your channel bro

[bbaker]

so I have a question. I have caught a swarm last Wednesday not trying to haha.but I haven't noticed any eggs being layed by the queen. they moved in without any drawn comb. how long before she will start to lay eggs. I did in fact find the queen and I do have drones any help on a time line. also I understand that there isn't a lot of nectar. so I am feeding sugar syrup and I see stores of that on a frame

[marbleheadhick]

Jason, can you put more than one dead queen in a bottle? It appears there is more than one in your bottle but I can't see for sure. Thanks for all the great videos

I would rather drink the 100 proof vodca than the rubbing alcohol, you will live longer mate honest:).

Rubbing alcohol is my preferred drink too!!!
