Honey Bee Attractant - Pheromone Lure

What is Honey Bee Attractant – Pheromone Lure and how does it work?

Honey Bee Attractant is a hanging lure that releases a natural pheromone blend to boost bee activity around flowering plants. It encourages pollination by drawing worker bees to blooms, helping improve fruit and vegetable yields. It’s non-toxic and safe for bees and the environment.

Will the lure attract native bees or wasps?

It's designed to attract foraging bees, but you may also see increased overall pollinator activity. Wasps aren’t the target, but could appear if flowers or ripe fruit are nearby. Place the lure away from human activity to avoid nuisance traffic.

Which crops benefit most from using the bee attractant?

Fruit trees, flowering vegetables like pumpkins, melons, cucumbers, and berries benefit most—especially when poor pollination has caused low yield or misshapen fruit. Even self-pollinating plants can benefit from extra bee movement to improve fruit quality.

When and where should I hang Honey Bee Attractant?

Start using the lure at the first signs of flowering. Hang it in fruit trees or near flowering veggies where there’s airflow. Inside the canopy is fine, as long as it’s not buried in dense foliage. Move it with flowering waves if needed.

How many lures should I use, and where if I only have one?

Use one per small garden zone or tree. Larger spaces or multiple flowering areas may need more. If using just one, place it near your highest-priority plant at bloom time—like your key fruit tree or main veggie patch.

How long does the lure last, and should I leave it out all season?

Each lure remains effective for about two weeks after opening. For best results, use it during peak flowering and swap it out after that window. Weather can affect scent dispersal, so adjust placement as needed.

Is Honey Bee Attractant safe for pets, kids, and allergy-prone households?

It’s non-toxic, but since it can increase bee traffic, place it away from play areas or entrances—especially if someone has a bee allergy. It’s safe when used thoughtfully in typical outdoor settings.

Can I use the lure in greenhouses or with companion planting?

Yes—just make sure there's airflow in greenhouses for the scent to move. Pairing with flowering companion plants can further boost bee retention and pollination outcomes.

How should I store the lure, and where is it made?

Store unopened lures in a cool, dry place out of direct sunlight. Once opened, they’re best used within two weeks. Honey Bee Attractant – Pheromone Lure is proudly made in Australia.

What are common mistakes when using the lure?

Using it before anything is flowering, placing it in dense foliage with no airflow, using too few for a large area, or hanging it near high-traffic areas are common issues. You’ll know it’s working when bee activity increases around blooms.
