Swarm 4-5-21
Posted: Mon Apr 05, 2021 8:34 pm
I had a swarm move into one of the two bait hives here at my house. The bait hives are two medium boxes each (drawn comb in one
of the boxes), a bottom board, inner cover and hive top. These hives are each placed on a stack of five medium boxes that serve to
elevate the hives. I had seen scout bees at the hives for several days, with a very large number yesterday. Also, I had put a drop of
lemongrass oil on the landing board to attract the bees.
