Thanks for all the posts in this section.
Here in Southern Arizona, there is seldom a week that goes by without a call to remove a feral hive or a swarm.
Experience has shown that queens can be reared an successfully mated during every month of the year.
With year-round availability of pollen (in most years) it seems the bees will keep propagating, whether managed or feral.
Anybody have a recommendation for an effective, non-harmful fumigant (odorant) for use in conjunction with standard trap-out techniques?
Thanks,
