Honeybee Swarm Attractant Wipe

Vita's Honeybee Swarm Attractant Wipe comes in a small sachet  and resembles a cleansing wipe. Vita's Honeybee Swarm Attractant Wipe in sachet

It is impregnated with essential oils extracted from plants.   

To activate, the sachet can be pierced or torn open and hung in an empty hive, skep or other suitable container, or it can be wiped over the surface of the container.

This swarm attractant helps to attract passing swarms, and to lure swarms temporarily hanging in trees and other awkward places into a skep or box containing the swarm attractant.

It will even reduce the risks of swarms leaving the apiary if a bait hive contains the attractant.
