New Bee
Well I’m late to the party, but thought I would add my 2 pence.
Whilst fishing last week, as I regular do my thought often gravitate around how I want to keep my bees as such when I had a bit of a eureka moment. It dawned on my that my extendable landing net handle would make an ideal handle for collecting swarms from trees.
Here a link to my specific landing net handle, I can vouch that it’s strong with little flex. I plan to add a square bucket via a heavy duty hinge that’s attached to a old spare spreader block(so when lowering the bucket will remain vertical) and attach a hook that sits 30cm above the bucket to enable branches to be rattled to shake the bees off.
