A Holmes trap-in is a beekeeping method used to capture and relocate a colony from a structure without tearing it open. It involves sealing the bees’ original entrance and installing a one-way cone or trap that lets bees exit but not return, while a hive box placed nearby encourages them to move in and establish a new colony over time.
