Heavy swarm trap

(1/2) > >>

RAST:
 I don't know what dummy built a 6 frame swarm trap out of pallet wood last year but I like to have went bottom over top getting it down from head high this morning. Bees have only been in it since Easter Sunday, that thing must be packed with honey. I'll give em a day to acclimate and find out tomorrow.

Zweefer:
Glad you were able to get it down without incident!

LazyBkpr:
LOL  I put up a few traps with a ladder...  the first one that caught a swarm.. I took down after dark, it weighed three hundred pounds while I was on the ladder, so that made the ladder step MOVE when I tried to step on it, and after that all sorts of shenanigans happened...

Bakersdozen:
Lazy are you saying you have learned some lessons?  ;D

LazyBkpr:
Oh yeah...  LOTS of stings later....
