Hello All, While researching ‘bees in America’ I came across a database of old bee photos that contained this image titled; swarm catcher. Is anyone familiar with the device and the manner in which it functioned? Particularly, if it interfered with hive functions such as hindering foragers from exiting the colony or drones. Thanks! http://i109.photobucket.com/albums/n41/pcolar/SwarmCatcher.jpg Joe Waggle Derry, PA “Bees Gone Wild Apiaries” FeralBeeProject.com http://pets.groups.yahoo.com/group/HistoricalHoneybeeArticles ****************************************************** * Full guidelines for BEE-L posting are at: * * http://www.honeybeeworld.com/bee-l/guidelines.htm * ******************************************************
