I have three colonies and amongst them three nucs set as bait hives. also along side a readied hive.
1. what is the best practice in setting a nuc as a bait hive
2. Would there be an ideal location to set them
3, is height an important factor, if so what is recommended
4. Does the use of lemon grass oil work and if so, how best to use
5. All my nucs have five frames of new foundation. Is this the best option?
6. Where would be suitable locations for a bait hive in locality to apiary
Thanks for your efforts and advice
