Swarm caught 5.25.21

My swarm box caught another swarm. Not sure of the size but look forward to finding out here in a couple of days. This is the second one for me this year.

How far away from your hives do you place the trap?

My most productive traps are about 6-10 feet from the hives on my driveway pad. I do not expect to catch my own swarms with them, but they do attract incoming swarms from other locations.
