Good4Bees Selective Velutina Trap with 2 Attractants

Product Description

The Good4Bees Selective Velutina Trap with 2 attractants is a compact, orange plastic trap designed for the targeted control of the Asian hornet Vespa velutina. It helps beekeepers and garden owners monitor this invasive species and reduce the pressure on bee colonies without unnecessarily endangering bees and other beneficial insects.

The integrated attractant container disperses the scent through openings with 360-degree air circulation, reliably attracting Vespa velutina. Thanks to the filter and the trap’s design, contact with the hornets is largely prevented during refilling or emptying.

Special Features

  • Specifically designed for Vespa velutina to target the Asian hornet
  • Transparent attractant container for quick visual checks of the fill level
  • 2 attractants included for immediate use at the start of the season
  • Compact design, approximately 18 cm tall and 13 cm in diameter, for flexible placement in the garden or at the apiary

Advantages

  • Protects beneficial insects through selective design and daily monitoring
  • Safe attractant replacement thanks to a filter design that prevents direct contact with hornets
  • Easy to use with no adjustments or complicated assembly required
  • Flexible use —can be hung or placed on a surface depending on the location
  • Support for monitoring programs through the ability to record and report captures (e.g., via QR code during relevant campaigns)

Conclusion on the Good4Bees Selective Velutina Trap

The Good4Bees Selective Velutina Trap with 2 attractants is a well-designed solution for specifically trapping Asian hornets near apiaries or gardens while simultaneously reducing the risk to bees and other insects. It combines ease of use, safe operation, and a compact design in a single product.

Take action early and protect your bee colonies with the selective Good4Bees Velutina Trap.

Holtermann’s Practical Tip: Check the Velutina trap daily, if possible, during the cooler parts of the day. Before emptying the trap, briefly spray the captured hornets with a cooling spray to stun them, and leave a few insects in the trap, as they act as an additional natural attractant and draw in new Vespa velutina even more effectively.

FAQs about the Good4Bees Selective Velutina Trap with 2 Attractants

The trap is designed for the Asian hornet Vespa velutina and operates selectively. Other insects, as well as the protected European hornet Vespa crabro, should be removed from the trap during daily checks.

For optimal trapping performance, it’s a good idea to replace the attractant about once a week and give the container a quick clean at the same time.

The trap should be placed or hung in a shaded area out of direct sunlight near the suspected flight paths of the Asian hornet, for example, on the outskirts of the apiary.

Briefly stun the hornets with a cooling spray before opening the trap, and wear protective gloves. Leave a few hornets in the trap, as they act as an additional attractant.

The trap is suitable for hobby and commercial beekeepers in regions with confirmed Vespa velutina activity, as well as for garden owners who want to monitor their surroundings for Asian hornets.

  • Carefully open the trap and remove the attractant container.
  • Loosen the cap and fill with the attractant according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
