Swarm traps filling up.
« on: May 10, 2015, 05:11:20 pm »
I have caught a swarm last 7 days ago on a trap. Dumped them and put the trap back up. 4 days later another one moved in.

Yesterday I got a call from a land owner I have 2 traps set up on the same property. Both traps have a swarm moved into them. Plus 3 swarm calls last week.

It really is amazing how fast a bee yard can grow.  Sounds like you're having a lot of fun!
