Is it worth setting up a bait hive?

[Zante]

I have been picking up swarms for the last 3 weeks and fully expect them to build up sufficiently to go through winter with one of my recently mated queens. Even without a mated queen, I would still be hopeful especially that far south that they could mate and build up with a little help and do very well.
Have a try, nothing to lose and lots to gain.

Even if nothing comes of it it'll be set up for next year's swarming season.
