Concept & Overview

Designed and built as an improvement over the original, wooden INTERCEPTOR® Honeybee Swarm Trap.

THE INTERCEPTOR® PRO is a trademarked, patent pending, invention by Robert Frye.

Materials & Characteristics:

·        CAD designed and vacuum thermoformed with state-of-the-art molding technology.

o   Made with waterproof, UV resistant, high density materials.

o   No painting required – minimal maintenance compared to wood.

o   Durability to last much longer than wood (lighter and stronger).

o   Gray color to reflect and reduce internal radiant energy heat build-up.

Volume & Versatility: (holds 5 Langstroth frames)

·        42+ cubic liters in total volume to assure attraction to the largest swarms.

·        20+ cubic liters (9”) open space below deep frames for swarm organization.

Dimensions & Weight:

·        Main body (exterior measurements)  20”wide x 20”tall x 8”deep.

·        4” x ⅝” center entrance opening.

·        4” x ¾” landing pad at the entrance.

·        Weighs less than 7 lbs. without frames – Less than 12 lbs. with frames & foundation.

Easy Swarm Transfer:

·        Designed to accommodate the industry-standard deep or medium Langstroth frames.

o   Transfers to Langstroth hives is fast and easy – just move frames of bees to the hive.

Appreciates In Value:

·        Effectiveness and value increases due to pheromone build-up with each swarm capture.

Other:

·        “Snap-on/Snap-off” telescoping cover which won’t come off in wind.

·        “Snap-in/Snap-out” 3D printed, ventilated entrance closure for moving trap with the swarm.

·        Stainless Steel fasteners used for joining halves and hanger included (no rust).

·        Predrilled pilot-holes for easy assembly.

·        High-weight-capacity (75+ lbs.) hanger with ¾” hole.

·        Dual 1½” screened, louvered, vents for adjusting ventilation.

o   Block one vent in the cool of spring - open both vents in the hot of summer.
