Swarming in west central Arkansas?
« on: April 04, 2009, 03:17:16 am »
Howdy folks, I live in west central Arkansas just south east of Ft. Smith. I was thinking of possibly taking up swarm trapping. I was wondering when to expect swarms in my area? Is it to late? Thank's, Brad
If the only dog you can here in the hunt is yours, your probaly missing the best part of the chase.

It depends on the weather, but I am guessing anytime now.  Last year in northeast Missouri I had a swarm on May 5th.
