No update yet. The first year was a bust. I think they might have been a little hidden in the trees. I plan to move some to a more open area and try again this year.
It depends on how many traps you want to make. However, you can make 6 traps out of: 1- 15/32 4x8 sheet of plywood, 1- 11/32 4x8 sheet of plywood, 1- 2x4 x 8’-0” stud, 1- 12” x 10’-0” roll of aluminum sheet metal. You will also need a gallon of primer and a gallon of paint.

Again great job and thank you for sharing.🐝🍻👍🏼
Well done
I made 4 traps today at work on my 15 minute break from scape lumber I saved up
going to build a layens hive this year, any updates on how the swarm traps worked out ?

What size drill bit to start slot and how ling?
I used a 1/2 inch diameter drill bit. The slot is 4 inches long.
@Our2Acres Do you have material list by chance?

@@Our2Acres Thanks!
@@Our2Acres Do you by chance have a link of a document of your plans? I really liked how you did those.
