Caught one!

I put a swarm box out on Monday and was planning on giving it a week before checking. It was so nice today that I walked down to take a look. Much to my surprise there are bees! I figured I would give them a few more days to ensure they are settled in. However, they seemed to be coming in and out fairly regularly so I believe it to be more than just scouting. I am in the Colfax area.

It looks like I spoke too soon! Last night, I taped the hole on my bait box....pulled it down....moved it up to my yard.....and slowly pulled off the top....to find......ABSOLUTELY NOTHING! Apparently the bees I saw decided not to move in. I put it back on the tree this morning. Hopefully, the girls looking for a new home will change their mind and take up residency soon.
