A wire-meshed swarm transport cage is a ventilated container designed for safely capturing and transporting bee swarms. It is typically made of a sturdy frame covered with fine wire mesh, allowing for optimal airflow while preventing the bees from escaping.
Key Features:
Material: The frame is usually made of firm plastic and metal , with a fine wire mesh covering all sides.
Ventilation: The mesh ensures proper airflow, reducing heat buildup and stress on the bees.
Entry Point: A closable door or flap allows easy introduction and removal of the swarm.
Secure Fastening: Some designs include a locking mechanism or straps to prevent accidental openings.
Handles: Some models have handles for easy carrying.
This type of cage is commonly used by beekeepers when relocating swarms to a hive or transporting bees for beekeeping operations.
