The Bee Keepers Secret: Attract free local honey bees with natural scent lemongrass oil. This is a proven and natural way to lure new swarms to the swarm trap. With other bait lures you do not know what it is you are using. It could just be honey and bees wax or unnatural compounds. Swarm lures that contain attractant hormones are available from all of the bee supply vendors. Some contain synthetically produced pheromones such as nasonov. Many of these synthesized products may be effective but they have limited shelf life and must be stored in a freezer until used. Lemongrass oil, however, is a stable compound that is cheaper, lasts for a very long time and is just as attractive to bees. We highly recommend the use of lemon grass oil as the best bee lure. It mimics the pheromone that scout bees release when looking for a new home and should double your chances of luring a swarm to a hive or trap. Please visit our Timberworks-Toys store.
