I finally got a successful swarm call! My first two calls were trapouts that I could not perform for various reasons!! I am new to the picture posting thing, but here are a few pictures!

Yeah! I started a few years ago and swore I only wanted 3 or 4 hives! I am up to 20 and the swarms have not started in the mountains of NC yet!! Poplar just opened actually!
