Good to hear Jude!  Lazy, we sound like we have the same calendar.  I saw you were putting out traps next week.  I was thinking of putting mine out the last week of April.  Our swarms really don't go full force until May but I suppose if it would finally stay warm, I would think the last week of April should be a good time to place a few.

  Aye Blue.. I could probably wait a week, but then something would come up and I would forget or have to go running off and miss half the swarm season..  so I always plan for the 3rd week in April, and if I am a week late its still not an emergency.
