Swarm Catcher

This swarm catcher tool will allow you to catch swarms from branches and other hard-to-reach places.

(Sack only. Stick not included)

Advantages of Lyson Swarm Catcher Sack:

1. Accessibility: The Lyson swarm catcher sack is designed to retrieve swarms from locations that are difficult to reach, such as tree branches.
2. Safety: Using a sack allows beekeepers to capture swarms without directly handling the bees, reducing the risk of stings.
3. Convenience: The sack is supported by a steel ring, which helps to keep it open and makes it easier to capture the swarm effectively.
4. Portability: The cloth sack is lightweight and can be easily transported to different locations where swarms are found.

Uses of Lyson Swarm Catcher Sack:

1. Swarm Retrieval: The primary use of the Lyson swarm catcher sack is to safely and efficiently retrieve swarms from various locations, especially those that are out of reach.
2. Swarm Relocation: After capturing a swarm, beekeepers can use the sack to transport the bees to a new hive location or integrate them into their apiary.
3. Swarm Rescue: In cases where swarms settle in public areas or near homes, the sack can be used to safely remove and relocate the bees to prevent potential conflicts with humans.

How It Works:

The Lyson swarm catcher sack includes a cloth sack attached to a steel ring. The beekeeper can place the sack under the swarm and shake the branch or surface where the bees are clustered, causing them to fall into the sack. The sack can then be closed and secured with the included string, containing the swarm for transport to a new location or hive.

 

 

Additional Considerations:

• Ease of Use: The design of the swarm catcher sack allows for easy handling and operation by the beekeeper, which can be particularly useful during the height of swarm season when quick action is necessary.
• Compatibility: While the sack is a standalone tool, it can be used in conjunction with other beekeeping equipment, such as ladders or extension poles, to reach swarms located high up.
