How does one make a trap out and use it properly?
My situation is I have a swarm living in a tree for about a year now and the golf course doesn't want to cut down the tree. and the whole is about 10 ft off the ground.
I have plenty of branches to put up a swarm trap but what good is that going to do if they have had made a home inside of the tree?
Thanks Dracono
Try a search for trap outs...iddee has put together the definitive plan...works well for me! (thanks again for the info iddee)

Grainger has #8 screen, 24"x100' $175 drop ship if you like from the online catalog. The local hardware store quoted me the same price

Use buss bee's link. Read everything there. This information has worked fine for me too. You can get a lot of bees out of trees.
