I had free evening and kind of on whim I decided to build a swarm box. I built it to the same deminsions as my big hive, but it only holds 10 1.25 bars. if all goes well I will build one more full size hive. I didn't spend near the time on this as I did my main hive. I just wanted to get something out there. I hung a 2 inch peice of new comb from a bar in there and a smeared the whole thing with lemon balm, I don't have any lemon grass growing at the moment. I mashed the leaves in the corner so hopefully they will give off the scent for a while. The next day I hung it in a fairly wooded area on a neighbors place about 300 yards from my hive. I guess I will just keep my fingers crossed now.
