I can't reach up to take them out of the tree. If you use the flower pots, you pretty much have to take down the swarm and hive it as soon as it moves in or they build comb inside the pot and it's hard to see all that wax and effort wasted. Since I would need help to get them out of a tree, it's more in my control and schedule to use the nuc boxes that are on my level and won't injure my shoulder. I enjoyed Pickens, SC when I came. Hope I can again some time!Linda Thttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08089537760868691562noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27329001.post-36880557038771805722017-03-04T11:39:34.792-05:002017-03-04T11:39:34.792-05:00Linda, so are you going to use nucs for swarm trap...Linda, so are you going to use nucs for swarm traps now over your fiber flower pot method? I was going to try those this year. I also hate seeing mine 50' up in a tree. Thanks for reposting the swarm lure. You're right I wasn't able to find it a while back. <br />Hope to get you back to Pickens SC club one day.<br />Thanks for the blogs, Cyndi Banks, Pickens Co BeekeepersCyndi Banksnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27329001.post-56546829576286397792017-03-03T20:38:49.724-05:002017-03-03T20:38:49.724-05:00I have never heard of such a thing as swarm lure! ...I have never heard of such a thing as swarm lure! That is just so cool! Thank you so much for the recipe. Though we only have two top bar hives, we plan to build another one and maybe I can use your recipe for a free colony. You know, you learn something new every day, and you just taught me my lesson today - thanks!Vickie @ makingoursustainablelife.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01210045536198927269noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27329001.post-21025186696090649602017-03-03T11:43:46.215-05:002017-03-03T11:43:46.215-05:00Glad to be back to share things!

I like to set up swarm bobs in the apiary too, hoping that any swarm that does go off will settle on the bob, hung where it is easy to collect the girls. Last time I had a swarm they went 50' up a big cedar tree...might as well have been the moon. It was very frustrating, watching them finally fly away.WesternWilsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12765821422247317378noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27329001.post-85404947677203183302017-03-03T09:25:02.242-05:002017-03-03T09:25:02.242-05:00çok güzel paylaşım.teşekkürlerçok güzel paylaşım.teşekkürlerAğvalı Arıcılık (Erdal Talha Başaran)https://www.blogger.com/profile/10890359767946639672noreply@blogger.com
