Fishing For Bees

The next step in the apiary journey is to have a home for the bee hives to live.

The wooded area of the property seems a great fit, but the land is nearly impassable with the overgrowth in the summer months. To help keep a working area clear we fenced off an area, laid down a cardboard layer, used some reclaimed wood around the edges, then covered the whole thing in mulch.

For the stand I spanned some wood between cinder blocks. I think it should do the trick!

An image of the wooded area of our property. There are trees in the background. The foreground has a fenced area where the ground is covered in a brown mulch. There is a stand made of reclaimed wood and cinder blocks in the fenced area.

Once done I set the swarm trap. I am using an “Interceptor Pro” I got off Amazon, and dabbled some “Swarm Commander” in it. Now we wait…

Strapped to the stand in the fenced area sits the swarm trap.
