Description
A Swarm trap hive including:
-
Ready assembled roof
-
Roof complete with robust steel cover
-
Small weather port
-
Landing stage
-
Entrance slot
This swarm trap hive is compatible with National and WBC frames! They will hold 5 deep brood frames (12x14) with extra space below the frames to give the feeling of space that scout bees require to lead their swarm to your box.
Easily hangs using a 'French Cleat'. This allows the box to hang securely and vertically so that the bees build out their comb within the frames instead of 'cross-combing'.
The small weather port, landing stage and entrance slot attracts bees to the box as they seem to like these features.
This swarm trap box is perfect for holding bees for long periods of time when waiting for an available beehive that they can be moved to.
The swarm trap is also known as a 'bait hive' and is designed and situated to attract bee swarms. Bees can be baited into the trap by placing frames and wax inside. More instructions on how to attract bees to swarm can be found inside the swarm box once purchased.
This hive is sent ready assembled or flat-packed. The hive is made from solid pine and plywood with a solid base.

Let customers speak for us
from 186 reviewsExcellent jacket, the third one I’ve bought of this design. Having worn both styles of veil, for ladies I think the fencing one sits better and doesn’t flop around as the other sort.
Great company and prompt delivery at a good price. Definitely recommend.
Fantastic quality from AGS.
I personally have used their gear for around 7 years and haven't ever received 1 sting whilst in them.
Over the last couple of years the whole family has switched over.
The triple layer is breathable, hard-wearing and super protection. The suit is substantial but also light enough to work in all day comfortably.
Plenty of pockets all where needed.
I highly recommend this suit and AGS on the whole.
Exceptionally good suit and value for money
Great suit, does exactly what it says on the tin
I like the jacket and much prefer the round hat to the fencing veil. I think I ordered a size bigger than I needed as I have long arms, but it's fine. Definitely cooler than a cotton suit!
Excellent service and great quality product! I'm very happy with my 3-layer ventilated suit - no more stings and much cooler in the warm weather.
Fantastic Suit. Loved it so much this is my second. First suit still going strong but wanted a spare. Easy to order, great price and fast delivery.
Great jacket and a really good price, feel protected and well ventilated. Prompt delivery thank you.
When i first started beekeeping I used a Jacket & Trousers combo. This was getting a bit worn so - after a bumper spring harvest/sales of OSR honey - I decided to treat myself to a full body suit and went for the Pro Series. While getting a full 3 layer suit on takes a bit more time, its worth the effort. Having thoroughly inspected 3 hives, I've never felt so safe. The design tips the hood well forward and away from your face...and the front opening drop-down face mesh panel is really useful. You can dispense with wearing anything much under the suit, as the 3 layer thickness effectively protects you from stings. You're therefore kept much cooler and can comfortably work on for long. Great product !
