The Pheromone-based Swarm Baits are designed to enhance the efficiency of beekeeping operations by attracting swarms. Here's a detailed look at how to use it and its advantages:
How to Use
Contents: The package includes a bag with 5 ampoules.
Application: The ampoules are designed for easy and effective use. They contain a pheromone scent that aids bees in orientation. The specially developed ampoules ensure a slow and even evaporation of the pheromone, which is crucial for attracting swarms. It's important not to open or puncture the tube, as the pheromone automatically penetrates the plastic. To use, place the swarming lure in the hive body or a super with frames with wax bees. This minimizes the risk of infection with germs and wax moths. Secure the vial near the inlet opening using a pin or tack. Using several traps increases the chance of catching swarms in your apiary. It's advised never to use filled honeycombs for filling as this can attract ants, wasps, and hornets.
Storage: To minimize evaporation, it is recommended to store the ampoule in the freezer.
