2024.06.26 Why I suggest buying Swarm Commander.

I hung 2 bait hives on May 13th 2024 with a competitor swarm lure. Within a week I caught a swarm. But the swarm didn't move into the bait hives I hung instead they moved into one I left on the ground with an old Swarm Commander Super lure. I bought the super lure a couple years ago. I'm still using my original bottle of Swarm Commander that I bought in 2019 too.

These swarm traps are built following the recommendations of Thomas Seeley. Location, location, location. Yes, location is important. Close to a source of bees with a tendency to swarm helps. In my case, I'm catching my own swarms.

Baits, bait but I think it's trap size and location personally, with brood comb having the largest impact for stickage. But that is just from watching videos. Thanks for sharing your experiences. Blessed Days...

David, thanks for sharing your thoughts on swarm trapping. I'm not an avid swarm trapper and I don't put a lot of effort into it, and some years I don't even bother. I believe the location and timing has more to do with it than what kind of lure a person uses, but that's just my thoughts on it, but maybe you can teach me more about it.
