Think you have to wait until dark to move a swarm? Think again. 🐝 Move the box too soon and you’ll leave hundreds of bees behind. 🐝 But this simple trap-in cone changes everything. 🐝 It’s a one-way entrance that lets bees in but not back out, so we can relocate the entire swarm even in daylight. 🐝 Want to see how it works and how to make one yourself?

#31dayofbeekeeping Best day in beekeeping. We have collected many swarms over the years but none as memorable as the one that gathered on the traffic lights in Manchester. What began as an ordinary call soon became something very special. Manchester takes great pride in its bees and the way people embraced this story was heartwarming. We are grateful to have been asked to move the swarm to a safer place and it is a day we will always remember. | Manchester Honey Company
