The charm of bees cream

Swarm attractant from 'Le charme des abeiles' for attracting departed swarms into the hive or skep. This works best when a hive is placed about 25 meters from the apiary.


How to use the paste?
Apply the paste to a piece of wood, preferably oak bark. Place such a piece of wood in a tree or apply the paste to the outside of an empty hive without frames. Hang oak bark or bait hive about 10 meters from the current hives. The bees will smell the scent, increasing the chance they'll choose this spot as their new home. If the wood gets wet from rain, it's best to reapply the attractant. The scent remains effective for about a week.
