Old Wax Honeycomb

[Mydogsaspringer]

Hi, I'm a newbie to beekeeping and I've constructed a bait hive to try and catch any local swarms.. But I don't have an old frame of beeswax honeycomb to use as bait. I've read that this is a good way to attract a swarm? I just wondered if anyone had a (national size) frame of old beeswax honeycomb I could have? I'm happy to pay for it and postage to S. Wales.
Thanks!
John

Use wax starter strips in the frames, just buyba pack of unwired and 1 sheet will do. Also add a swarm lure you can buy at thornes/suppliers failing that some lemon grass oil
