Any trap that works is nice…but! I like deeps with a few frames too. Lemongrass is a good lure along with a frame of old brood comb and some empty frames for them to start building comb.
Bucket trap? Looked very problematic, and stressful for the bees. I’d recommend doing a bit of research and make a trap from a deep brood box. Make your own simple bottom box about 3” deep with an entrance hole, a plywood top screwed on, and add your frames. Once you have a swarm, place your brood box onto your typical bottom board and finish it with your outer cover of choice. Super simple and inexpensive to make. 😊
Actually bucket traps are the most simple and money saving swarm traps out there. They are traps for a reason its not like your leaving them in there for half a year. I use buckets and yhe bees love going into them.
Too bad you couldn't have used empty frames/rubber bands and given them some of the beautiful work they had already created. Cool looking swarm collector.
Joshua Kretzer I had left this trap out for 2 weeks without checking it. Did the video the same day. Surprised you found it. Have gotten away from making videos.
Lemongrass oil on a cotton ball and placed in a ziplock bag. As well as the old drawn brood comb frame. It’s a really easy cheap trap, but I now prefer Nucs and deeps to trap.
Yeah, first I saw the comb he pulled up, then I saw capped brood on it, lol......But hey, I'm glad I never made any videos of my first few years of bee mistakes and disasters....live and learn and have fun....

Man now that's a pretty slick idea. First time I've seen a 5 gallon bucket trap.
May as well said Candyman 5 times in a mirror with that method of transfer. They got pissed. Lol. But--still cool you got the job done.

Great video
Way to go!
looks like bees prefer foundationless frames over plastic... so neat
Amazing

So, did you find the queen?? LoL! That was awesome. Like your bucket setup.
Not that day, but did eventually.

That was the plan but it backfired at the time.
Wish i knew why bees love buckets so much
It was baited with a frame of brood comb. I don’t use buckets anymore though.
That's one way to do it bubba
Subbed
It's all good
Yo feeder just changed the game for me! #1 4 LIFE #paintcanfeeder
Now you know why it's not a good idea to make a 5 gallon bucket a swarm trap if it was me i would use a deep brood box with frames as a swarm trap
I only run 1 bucket now. I use deeps now.
Outstanding! Texas boy?
Mississippi. Grew up in South Arkansas.
Helloooo? Where did you go?
I mainly do FB and Instagram stories with pics. Have a hard time finding time for videos.
Far this year I caught 18 swarms in my Swan traps bucket swarm traps all the videos are on my channel try it in TV
Damn that's a lot of comb
Hadn’t checked it in 2 weeks. Either they got there the next day or are just strong workers.
@@burleybeeyard so it took two weeks from when you put it out until this video???

What did you bait it with ?

How much did you catch in buckets traps for 2022
I quit using buckets for the most part. I just use deep boxes now. No swarms for me so far this spring.
Варвар!!
is that frame custom built to fit or does a traditional Frame fit in the bucket? cool video
Took a deep frame of drawn comb and cut in half. Stapled piece of wood to side that was cut. Cheap swarm trap
You need to frame that comb
what is the mesh size?
Pretty sure that’s 1/4. Really don’t need the mesh.
@@burleybeeyard Thank you
You left that trap way too long betwen visits. :)
Yeah, first I saw the comb he pulled up, then I saw capped brood on it, lol......But hey, I'm glad I never made any videos of my first few years of bee mistakes and disasters....live and learn and have fun....
That's not the same bucket lol
Như thế này nếu mưa liệu có bay mất thùng ong không bạn
"Không, nó luôn ổn định, nhưng thành thật mà nói, dù đây là một lựa chọn rẻ cho bẫy đàn, tôi không còn sử dụng chúng nữa."
@@burleybeeyard tôi cũng nghĩ vậy. Chúc bạn mọi việc đều như ý
Hai 👍👍👍
