Sorry if this is already up.
It comes up blank for me. Can you post the conclusions.
Thanks
I could read it just fine. Had a lot of good info for someone like me who is considering a bait hive but never done one before.

It's a PDF so it takes time to load and you need adobe to open it. Sorry.
It really is distilled very well into the Mid-Atlantic Apicultural Research & Extension Corsortium document that takes the information from same author (Tom Seeley) and brings it down to 1 page.

If you want to detailed version, read the book Honeybee Democracy by Tom Seeley. Worth reading for any beekeeper. It really is a great book. A bit heavy on science, but in the end, a very readable book about how swarms choose a home and what are the best characteristics for a home from a swarms perspective.
