Any suggestions on lure for a bait hive?I just built 7 from plans from Bushkill.http://robo.bushkillfarms.com/downloads/beekeeping/BushkillSwarmTrap.pdf
Thanks sawdstmakr! :) I'll try that.
It's all about stacking the deck--improving the odds. If you use QMP, old black brood comb and a well used box your odds are not as good is a new box with lemongrass oil. But if you use them all, you can actually lure a swarm out of a tree most of the time...
