Greetings,
Concerning trap placement, how many traps should one place on a given property? I have a dozen hives in a field, with only a few neighboring hives around that I am aware of. My initial thoughts are four, one each to the N S E W. I plan to use a deep with one old frame of drawn comb, the rest empty frames. Does this sound reasonable? Also, I live in a rural area, so would placing some traps out at places I frequent often like the hardware store or feed mill be prudent, or a waste of time?
Thanks ahead for your input.
