Fingerlakes Honey Company
Would you like to help honeybees find a new and safe home?
Every year bees swarm when they outgrow their hive.
You might even see a swarm of honeybees near your home.
We like to catch them and provide a home for these homeless bees by using swarm traps.
A swarm trap is just a small hive box that we use to attract the bees. We often look for people to place a trap on their land, especially if they know there are bees around.
Do you have acreage of wooded land in Cayuga County New York with easy access that you'd like us to trap?
In exchange for helping the bees, you will receive a free pound jar of our year's first spring harvest and the knowledge that you helped the honey bees!
Contact us today for more info.
