    Anyone used “swarm commander?”

    NO idea. i am sure i heard something a while ago on JP the bee man and friends from Louisiana, where they use it a lot i believe. Lemon grass oil, but some other plant extract i believe. Gosh thats going back a couple of years. I believe the actual recipe is obviously a secret. The Cocacola Of...

    Anyone used “swarm commander?”

    i bought a bottle of the squirt application stuff Direct from America like Kersal. For 2016 season.It certainly didnt stop me catching swarms, i probably had a good year too, its good stuff. but its also very strong. i would advise no more than one to two good squirts , not even in the front of...

    I agree, but just a couple of times, I've had atrocious AMM (local nasty black) kill a queen even after the cage has been lifted and theres eggs in the cells (and recently born nurse bees under the cage). I now lift the cage and watch the behaviour. if i am at all worried, i simply move the...

    Quintrex Cage

    yes i understand, thanks, my point really was, anyone who's only requeening a couple of hives should not attempt direct introduction (in my view)! the risks are far too great, whether its replacing a laying queen with a laying queen or a laying queen with a non laying cage or queen thats...

    :iagree: Direct introduction works, but like Finman says, your risking a lot. I cant speak for Hivemaker, who regularly reports of the success of this method, however, i can tell you, he knows what he's doing, knows the risks and knows his stocks and their behaviour. Many other factors that you...

    Why use Nuc & Mini Nuc *boxes*

    Quote"My two questions / suggestions would reduce the different types of boxes and frames that we use and need, surely making things much simpler and cheaper for us; so what have I missed, why don't we do this?" Most beekeepers already do!!! If you look at many professional or semi professional...
