Hey guys,
I just got all my swarm traps built. The plans came from Robo's site. Thanks Rob.
I already spray painted the top left one. I can't wait for spring to get these up.

I had recently posted a question (http://forum.beemaster.com/index.php/topic,31485.0.html) about the swarm lure to use on these and greatly appreciate all your responses.

Very nice. Keep us posted on how you make out.

Awesome! They look great! Are they 3/8 plywood? The size of 5-frame nuc boxes? Have something inside to hang frames? Spill the beans with details. Inquiring minds want (and need) to know! :-D :-D

By the way gardeningfireman,
Something that wasn't in the plans, is where the frame rest should be mounted on the front and back plates. I asked robo (since these are his plans), and he suggested mounting the frame rest 3/4" down from the top of the front and back plate to allow for beespace.
Hope that helps,
James

Thanks! Went to Robo's site and printed the plans. :)
