So here is a few pictures of the area that I have placed my swarm trap.
I have placed the nuc box at about 6-7 feet off the ground of an old apple tree which has a creek below it and an open field in front of it. It can't be seen but the tree is in bloom and bumble, and honey bees are all in the blooms.

Here is a picture of it from a few feet back

here is the field, it has been fairly cold in the South West of British Columbia. (pacific north west)
