Collecting a swarm this morning, we soaked one little tree pretty thoroughly with syrup laced with lemon grass oil. We speculated on the possibility we were turning the tree into a swarm lure.
We don't know where these bees came from but there's a good chance we know their former owners. Considering we filled a nuc box and had to leave some behind, somebody lost one huge number of bees, due to failing to prevent swarming.
