Hey folks,
Earlier this year I caught a swarm I'm my trap and they are doing ok in a hive concidering it was a small swarm. I replaced the trap and would look at it from time to time, nothing. I didn't replace that scent thing or added anything to catch them but today I see a bunch of bees going in and out. It's been up there a few months. I check it once a week when I cut grass. I think it's kinda late in the season here in Michigan for swarms. It's not my bees cuz they are still fine. I won't know until I take it down later, but I wanted to post this as soon as I could for some hints of what to do. I have a homemade hive I can use and probably feed because I don't think they will make it through the winter. But I built a Nuc years ago, and I don't know why because I don't know how to use Nucs. Can I put this swarm in a Nuc? It's a nice looking Nuc! <grin!> They might be gone in 5 minutes, but they have been there at least 15!
Thanks!
