Swarm 3.31.25

Post by royl »

I just caught this swarm in my empty swarm box. I usually catch several swarms with it each year.

I put 20 medium frames in this set up (notice the bottom box is a deep). The combs are black as tar. I reduce the entrance and little bit of spray swarm commander on the landing board when it is a warm sunny day. It is about 5.5 feet up off the ground and receives full sun.

Once I catch a swarm, I leave them in there for a few days and then transition it to a permanent location with newer comb.
