Last week I put six frames, two with some ancient empty comb tied in, into a nuc box, added a couple of swarm lures I got at LA Honey, and stuck it in a peach tree in the garden. Nothing had happened when I went out of town last Friday, but when I checked it on my return today, there were bees galore, coming and going and bringing in pollen. How cool is that!?!
I will inspect them next week, and if it looks like there's royalty present, I'll move them to a wooden home.
