Lemongrass Essential Oil – Ideal for Beekeeping & Aromatherapy
Lemongrass Essential Oil is a fresh, citrusy essential oil steam distilled from the long, aromatic leaves of the lemongrass plant (Cymbopogon species). Known for its strong lemon-like aroma, this oil is widely valued in beekeeping, aromatherapy, natural cleaning, and household use.
Among bee farmers, lemongrass oil is especially popular because its scent closely resembles the natural attractant pheromone of honeybees, making it a trusted choice in hive management and swarm trapping. At the same time, its bright and earthy citrus aroma makes it a favourite in aroma diffusers and wellness routines.
Our lemongrass essential oil is 100% pure, natural, and undiluted, suitable for agricultural, aromatherapy, and household use.
What Does Lemongrass Essential Oil Smell Like?
Lemongrass oil has a strong, fresh, lemony aroma with earthy undertones. The scent is sharp, clean, and energising — powerful enough for outdoor and farm use, yet refreshing when diffused indoors.
Common Uses of Lemongrass Essential Oil
Beekeeping & Apiary Use
Lemongrass essential oil is widely used by bee farmers for:
-
Attracting honeybees during swarm trapping
-
Supporting hive relocation and management
-
Mimicking the natural honeybee attractant scent
-
Helping deter wasps, which are predators of bees
Wasps are aggressive insects that do not produce honey or wax and often threaten beehives. Lemongrass oil’s strong aroma is unpleasant to wasps, making it useful in apiary environments when used correctly.
Commonly applied in bait hives, swarm traps, or hive management routines.
