I went on photobucket and typed in beeslinger and nothing came up. I was going to paste the link in on here for you.

Check it and make sure you're on there.

Is a swarm aggressive?
Is that just a bucket on the side of the tree?

 It is a swarm trap from Kelley ( http://go.netgrab.com/secure/kelleystore/asp/product.asp?product=254) and has pheromone in it. This is only my second swarm. As far as aggressive I believe that would be a question for JP or someone with a lot more knowledge than me. With the kind of bees we "can" have down here at first I treat them as aggressive anyway. So far my 2 have been mild and the one last year produced about 2 gallons of honey and may be split next weekend......
