This makes all the work in our apiary worth it! Just one week ago, Lann talked about the importance of placing a swarm trap in your apiary and how it will increase your chances of success with bees. Out of the four traps we put out last week, the first one to catch a swarm was in the apiary. Some beekeepers disagree with this method, but we are on our third year of success with this method. When you have strong queens that produce strong hives, you don't want to have to worry about losing them to somewhere else.
