"So that leads me to the question is all bait comb created equal?"
No... largely subjective, the variations on swarm attraction could be said
to mirror the InterNetz body of comment over bee 'owners', often
misread/misguided or - as I have found in just a few short months -
highly ignorant beyond the fence.
Over many a season it has proven productive to take unworkable brood
comb melted into a paint, applying the mix to the lid/cover.
This is attractant, in no way recommended as further colony management
post the swarm capture.
Cheers.
