BTW, I'm going to pull the syrup off of my nuc and add it to my swarm trap. That should entice them a little.

« Last post by Terri Yaki on Today at 08:36:53 am »And the swarm trap is getting hit hot and heavy already this morning. It seems like at least a couple of bees stayed the night and I have found them wandering around the frames in the upper box where the frames have foundation smeared with slum-gum. There is about a 10" long 1/16" or so wide gap between the two boxes in the front and quite a few of them are looking at that. I expect that they could seal it up easy enough but might it make them want to find a different home? Should I heat up some wax and fill it in? In the future, I'll check for that and fill it first.

it's fine for old men to get naked and plant seed too ! We just don't go as fast, and sometimes that's a good thing.
