The Sapsan-3 bird repeller for the golden bee-eater

Sapsan-3 – An effective repellent against the golden bee-eater for beekeepers

Are you facing a threat to your apiary from the golden bee-eater, also known as the bee-eater, bee-eater bird or bee-eater? The Sapsan-3 bioacoustic bird repeller is a specialised solution for protecting bees from this colourful but dangerous pest. The device uses the sounds of natural predators to humanely deter bee-eaters without harming them, keeping your apiary safe.

Why is the golden bee-eater a threat to the apiary?

The golden oriole (bee-eater) is a beautiful bird with striking plumage, but for beekeepers it is a real enemy. A single bee-eater can eat up to 50 bees a day, whilst a flock of 10 birds is capable of destroying thousands of bees in a week. Bee-eaters hunt in hives, snatching bees in flight and squeezing out their nectar, which causes enormous damage to bee colonies. The Sapsan-3 helps prevent these losses by deterring bee-eaters to a safe distance.

How does the Sapsan-3 repeller work against bee-eaters?

The Sapsan-3 uses bioacoustic technology to reproduce the sounds of birds of prey, such as hawks and falcons, which are the natural enemies of the golden weasel. These sounds trigger a fear response, causing the golden-backed shrike to avoid the apiary. The device covers an area of several hundred square metres, creating a protective barrier around the hives.

How do you install the repeller?

Installing the Sapsan-3 takes just a few minutes. Mount the speaker at a height of 2–3 metres (on a post, gate or wall), connect it to a power source (mains or battery) and select the mode for repelling small birds, including the golden oriole. To protect it from the rain, it is recommended to install the device under a canopy. To enhance the effect, it can be combined with visual deterrents, such as the ‘Korshun’ kite.
