Are you able to draw in those swarm of bees because you have planted a queen bee within each box ? Also how do you keep a queen bee within each new box without it just flying off and away ? Can you explain how this all works ? Thanks, Enjoyed the video Billy... Albq. N.M. 5 / 2 / 2024
Thanks for asking, I don't place anything but frames with wax then I use swarm rustler to lure the scouts to the boxes. Once the swarm gets into my trap I leave them for a week so they start drawing comb on the frames and when I see pollen coming in I know then to transfer those frames into my waiting hive.

Thank you
One of the coolest things in Beekeeping is being in the middle of a swarm.

I don't have a clue on how to tag. Plus didn't have time to grab the bottle that's why I mentioned the lure.
