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.
