Ruhl Bee Supply
Swarm Trapping & Removal
Learn how to attract swarms to bait hives, how to
retrieve feral swarms, and the basics of removing
feral colonies from structures with minimal
damage to the bees, surrounding property, and to
yourself and others.
We're seriously considering this class as a
prerequisite for any new members of our swarm
call list. Feedback from property owners who have
called upon inept beekeepers has given us
concern, as swarm-retrieving beekeepers are
ambassadors to our hobby and industry.

No such thing.
When you capture a swarm, the
following factors should make you
consider the value of your service
to the community.

- Time
- Hive Equipment

Don't feel odd about charging for
your time and services. At the

Northwest Apiculture Fund!
