I Built a Swarm Trap… and It Fought Back! 🐝🔨

In this video, I demonstrate how to assemble a swarm trap step by step using simple materials. Whether you're a beginner or an experienced beekeeper, this guide will help you build your own trap to expand your apiary. I may or may not have shot a crown stapler staple into my thumb during the filming of this video.
