This year I am hoping to lure swarms of bees to my land. Last year 3 swarms arrived here and I wasn't very prepared. This year however I say, come on lil bees!
You can see 2 types of swarm traps, one is hanging from a tree up on the hillside under the Eucalyptus trees. Many bees travel to and fro in this area. Hopefully scout bees will catch the smell of the swarm lure which contains Queen Bee pheromones in it.
The other swarm trap is a nucleus hive which also have pheromone in it. This trap is placed in the area of a swarm that landed here last year. so think, SWARM! Yay...
Also pictures are some of the Eucalyptus that are now in bloom, the bees are loving it!
