Ok I am a New Bee Keeper. So I though for insurance. I would place a swarm trap out incase something happens to my hives this year....
So I ordered a Swarm trap with some queen pheromone from Brushy Mountain....
Where should I locate the trap at? How far from my hives etc? In the pines in the oak trees or in the openwhere? How high off the ground.....
I hear from local beeks now is the time to try and catch a swarm.... A local guy said A swarm in or before june is worth a silver spoon.... A swarm in July isn't worth a fly!!!
How do I keep this thing from falling apart? am I supposed to screw the body to the lid??? I didn't see any directions on anything but the lure..
