Autumn can be a particularly challenging time for honeybees🐝

Wasp nests continue to grow throughout spring and summer, with populations reaching their highest levels by early September. From late September to October, wasp larvae stop producing the sugary secretions workers rely on, making wasps desperate for sugar and highly aggressive.

Trap-X Wasp is engineered specifically to target wasps, combining high trapping performance with a bycatch-conscious design. The durable, weather-resistant construction has been designed to withstand repeated outdoor use season after season.

We are promoting these Trap-X products at 15% off when discount code'TRAPX15', is applied at basket.

Stay vigilant with Trap-X.

Observabee Update 🐝

It has been a little while since our last Observabee Update and they have been busy!.. It is great to see how much they have built out. You can see they are still bringing in pollen - but it wont be long until they start to reduce in size.

With the colder weather on the horizon, how do you think we should go about insulating the hive? Or do we even try to?

Let us know what you think!
