Lemongrass Swarm Lure Essential Oil

The Lemongrass Swarm Lure Essential Oil is a proven, natural solution for attracting honeybee swarms to bait hives and swarm traps. Renowned for its effectiveness, this lemongrass essential oil mimics the scent of scout bees marking a new home, encouraging more scouts to investigate and draw in swarms. With just a few drops, you can effectively lure swarms and establish thriving colonies.

Key Features and Benefits

• Light-Protected Container: The dark amber bottle shields the oil from light exposure, extending its shelf life and preserving its potency.
