Swarm Boxes, for various manipulations
These have been developed by various people to fulfill
several different roles in beekeeping and bee breeding. The particular
examples that I have built myself were never intended to be compatible
with each other, but in compiling this set of pages I have brought
all the dimensions and styling into one common base design that can be
built incorporating whichever features attract you personally. The act
of swarm collecting using devices of this degree of sophistication
will attract a professional respect by the general public to the
beekeeper concerned, as the effect as seen by the untrained eye,
borders on the magical.
The Swarm Collecting Box has many features that make life
easier when collecting swarms of bees. The design departs a little
from British Standard dimensions. If you are using a different size
of frame then you will need to adjust the dimensions quoted to take
this into account.
