Central Illinois, around Pana, 62557. Shook my first swarm capture today, May 4th, into a ten frame box and it filled it up! Got it home and on my stands!
Northern IL, Ogle County, 61010, just south of Rockford. 3 days ago lots of scouts. Today, lots of bees bringing in pollen. Into a ten-frame deep set up as a trap on the edge of a woods, about 2' off the ground, South facing, all ten frames were inserted, so no open space, 8 of the frames were old comb, used lemon grass oil. Caught two in the same general area last year.
May 30 or 31. Northern Illinois, Ogle County. In an East-facing 10 deep filled with old comb. A few drops of lemon grass oil. On my front porch about 10' from my front door.
8/1/2019. My hive swarmed. This is from the same hive I received via swarm on May 30 2019! I cut it out of an apple tree and rehived it.
