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. At Fingerlakes Honey Company, 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 areas to place a trap or two on wooded land, especially if the owner knows 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 hang a trap?​ In exchange for helping the bees, you will receive a free pound jar of our year's first spring harvest, a thank you card, acknowledgement on this page (desktop only), and the knowledge that you helped the honey bees!
