We used your bee lure recipe to pick up a swarm that had settled into the cap of a propane tank. We set the box on top of the tank and the bees very quickly started moving into the box. Brilliant!

Why are the boxes to be put in the shade .My husband has now lost 2 hives as they just packed up and left we have flowers everywhere and food. He has 1 hive occuoied wirh a small group left that’s all .

You can substitute Coconut Oil for the Olive oil.

Here in Uganda we use a different technique.
We use lemongrass, wax and cow dung to smoke the hives.
The bees swarm in a day or 2.
