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.
Distribution & Marketing:
· Retail & wholesale - U.S.A. & International. Interested distributors may apply (minimums apply).
