Thank you for viewing. ◇◇ This is a very effective and proven gathering board for capturing Japanese honeybees. After swarming, Japanese honeybees first form a bee cluster on tree trunks, etc., and then move to a new dwelling place guided by scout bees. In such cases, if there is a gathering board coated with plenty of attractant liquid and beeswax, the bee cluster will likely form on the gathering board, centered around the queen bee (Photo 2). Once a bee cluster forms on the gathering board, capturing them and moving them to a new beehive becomes very easy and reliable. Every year, I set up multiple gathering boards in several locations along with waiting boxes, and the bees have flown to and gathered on the gathering boards multiple times. The formation of bee clusters on the gathering board is temporary, so I inspect and capture them regularly during the swarming season. (Weekend Beekeeping Channel uploaded) The capture method is relatively simple: prepare a two-tiered waiting box with a top board upside down (Photo 6), gently place the gathering board with the bee cluster on top (Photo 7), and after a while, turn the entire gathering board upside down (Photo 8). I have tried various materials for the surface of the gathering board, such as palm bark, bamboo, shade netting, and metal mesh, but metal mesh was the most effective. Also, after trial and error with the material, diameter, and pitch of the mesh, I arrived at this product. ◇◇ While I cannot guarantee capture, I believe that if Japanese honeybees are living nearby, the chances of capturing them are very high. Also, for those who are already keeping bees, if the bee cluster forms on a high tree trunk or other place out of reach of a net after swarming, you will have to give up on capturing them, so I am confident that this is an essential item, especially for existing beekeepers. ◇◇ It is effective to apply attractant liquid and beeswax to the gathering board regularly during the season, just like the waiting box. I also sell attractant liquid, so please take a look and consider it as well. ※※ To make it easy to attach to trees, etc., with wire, the gathering board has 4mm holes drilled in 4 x 2 places at the top and bottom. Also, when capturing, hold the handle on the back and quickly cut the wire with nippers, etc. ♪♪ The swarming season (spring) is just around the corner. Prepare early, and try everything possible. This year, why not taste the sweet, sweet honey of Japanese honeybees in the fall?
