Some Tripehound has placed bait hives along the edge of the field adjacent to one of my apiaries!:cuss::cuss::cuss:

Wasting his time as I clip all my queens...... must have been incredibly windy last night as I noticed all his roofs have blown across the field... one has even lodged itself high in an old Oak tree!

Perhaps he had high winter losses...or.... not a beekeeper,,, but a swarmchaser?

Well, if you have a swarm go into the field I'm sure you could catch it if it ended up in one of those boxes. :sunning:
