Did a quick swarm removal in Sandy Utah yesterday. I've been using my swarm pole more and more and I must say that I really like it. Saves packing a ladder and its much better keeping my feet on the ground.

Nice catch!
I've been looking for a pole for sometime now but can't find one and don't wanna pay the $50 for the new one. Made the bucket for it a couple years ago.

I didn't want to pay the money either for a while. I thought I could just buy it, try it out, and if it didn't work I would take it back. Turned out I liked it a bit to much and kept it. It has paid for it's reach over and over again. Since making it last year I have hived over a dozen swarms with it. Many of those were almost impossible to get even with a tall ladder and most likely very unsafe at that. It is now one of my regular tools I take when I get a swarm call which is almost everyday right now.
Thanks for the video,cklspencer, hadn't thought of the pole. Strange I have one I made to get pairs out of top of pair tree, it has a 2 liter bottle. I will have to make one of those.

Great video! Thanks!
Awesome "3-bucket" swarm. Great job, thanks for posting.
Nice video! I have an extra old water jug but what did you make your pole with?

cool video... Thanks for sharing. have to make me one of those poles now....lol
The pole is a longarm pole from Home Depot, you can find them by the paint section. The pole I use is a 8'-23' pole. Its worth the money. Some of the other pole can't tack the force like the longarm can.
Any swarm higher than I can reach with my hands while standing on the ground is too high for me.
