I have been doing fairly good on the swarm trap exercise. 3 for 3 after about 10 days. This particular trap had bees buzzing around it within 3 days of placement. The weather has been horrible for several days, today I walked down to this trap and got a big surprise. There are bees entering and leaving the 1' hole. Another beekeeper suggested that the swarm hung outside for a while and just started making comb there before moving inside. Still pretty cool.
