Prevent Honeybee Hive Robbing w/ the Robber Bee Scout Trap® !
The Robber Bee Scout Trap® is designed to stop robbing from ever beginning!
The Trap is an attachable device that protects beehives from robbing honey bees and yellow jackets by trapping them before they gain access into your hive. The trap is made for Langstroth Hives, The Cathedral Hive™ and Top Bar Hives
Stop robbing from ever beginning!
Robbing is one of the biggest causes of hive collapse
Robber bees can bring mites and other diseases into the hive
Trapping scout bees stops them from recruiting their hive mates
Simple to install
Can be used as an effective mouse guard in the winter
Identify when your hive is being targeted by robbing bees
The Robber Bee Scout Trap® is designed to catch the scouting bees or wasps and jail them until they are released by the beekeeper at sundown. When these unsuccessful scout bees return home after being released at dusk, they are treated as incompetent and no other bee in their colony is interested or willing to hear about their failed, futile mission, so no other bees get recruited to go and rob the hive.

How it Works
*The Robber Bee Scout Trap® is a device that is installed onto the landing board in front of the hive entrance.
*The Trap consists of a “false or fake” landing board entrance, a simple confusion maze and a screened robber bee jail.
*The trap works by allowing the home bees to learn a "secret", new non-typical, alternate entrance to come and go.
*The Trap is installed before robbing season begins, allowing your bees time to learn their new entrance and how to avoid being trapped. The familiarization period takes less then a week.
