I have a hive that seamed a couple of times and every time the swarm was 100 + ft in a tree

"Bye bye, nice knowing you, best of luck to you all!"

32 feet is my limit.

The worst part I have 6 swam traps in the yard

Find a low hanging, easy to reach branch and put lemon grass oil on it.

You posted while I was typing. 😀

Someone might have a bigger trap?

Thank you I’ll give it a try

I took an old sock, stuffed some old comb in it and a few drops of lemon grass oil, hung it from a small tree. Waiting to see if it works. I have had 4 swarms this year already. Fortunately all 4 landed in small trees and were easy catches. Just dumb luck though.

They always check out the traps but never go in

This isn't a bait hive. It's just a smelly sock hanging from a branch. The goal is to get the swarm to land on it so it is easy to catch. It works on YouTube, so it's gotta be true, right?
