I have a bait hive at a property that is having major issues with swarms trying to take up residency. They dont want to kill the bees really but they can not stay where they keep trying to go.
I have a bait hive rubbed in lemon balm with old comb in it.
What else can i do to try and encourage occupancy? I have seen swarm lures. Are they any good and how often do they need replacing?
