You are probably right about the drifting part. Naturally his own bees will check out the bait he has plantedAfter the posts and video, you can see the bees hit the landing board and walk right in thinking it's the correct hive. Terri should at least give the trap a 180. I guess Im a bit surprised that no other experienced beekeepers on here see it.
While Remembering the ongoing discussion, anticipation, and excitement of Father Michael a few years back when he was in almost the same spot as Terri. More than one of us tried to give him a heads up, in case they left, (which they did). I also remember the disappointment that he faced when they left the area, and the disappointment we felt for him.I also understand Father Michaels disappointment, but it's a learning experience and we both know beekeeping has a steep curve. I try and offer a different solution hoping he can increase his chances with a scion in his yard.
