rut roh. can you put out an extra hive body with something to attract them down? drawn comb.. LGO.. lemon pledge.. melted propolis.. get those ladies back!
It was a sweet little hive from a swarm last year that I left on that table partly out of laziness and partly because of skunks. It boomed, so I just let it be.
By the time I went and got a box and returned they'd moved on from the tree and I couldn't find them.
