So I rebaited my swarm trap and the activity today at about 4 o?clock has been amazing but I?m not sure if they are Scout bees or they?re just taking the opportunity to Robb and smell an old comb. about 20 to 30 bees on it and or in it just not sure.has been nice to watch.

They will be bringing in pollen once they move in. You will probably have a swarm move in soon. Have another trap ready to set or set it nearby now.

What Ed said x2.
Watch the bees at the entrance. Are they dancing around and going in then out and back in again. If so the swarm is not far from coming in.

Watch the bees action and the number of scout bees checking it out. When it looks crazy, they will be on the way.
