The Buzz Bag is a zippered mesh bag built to securely contain honey bees during transport — from packages and nucs up to full-size hives. It keeps bees contained and keeps you safe while moving equipment between locations.
Sizes
Nucleus Hive or Package Bag
Built for moving a single nucleus hive or up to 3 packages of bees. Accommodates all 5-frame equipment with deep or medium frames. Also works for swarm capture and general bee containment.
Single Bag
Fits 8-frame or 10-frame equipment, including a fully assembled bottom board, telescoping cover, and one deep box with frames.
Double Bag
Our largest size, built for a full-size double deep or triple medium 8-frame or 10-frame hive, complete with bottom board, telescoping cover, and frames.
Key Features
- Rip-resistant mesh construction contains bees securely without accidental escapes
- Gusseted shape mirrors the hive for a snug, secure fit with room for covers and bottom boards
- YKK zippers with large pull rings for easy operation
- Velcro patch for added security
- Safety lock stitch with extra-strong thread for durability
How to Use It
Lay the bag open on the ground, place the hive over the opening, then zip the YKK zipper to cover the top and sides. Pull the sides of the bag up and over the hive to fully enclose it.
