LEMON GRASS TO CATCH SWARMS?

<< < (2/11) > >>

Michael Bush:
You can get it from a lot of the bee suppliers and even on Amazon...

Intheswamp:
Whether it matters or not, there are two varieties of LGO commonly found, Cymbopogon citratus and Cymbopogon flexuosus.  Apparently both varieties work as swarm lures, but I get the impression that Cymbopogon citratus is the one you really want.  It is actually stated as coming from "lemon grass" whereas Cymbopogon flexuosus is stated as coming from the Cochin or Malabar grasses.
