if someone needs a swarm bait i have an extra 2 packs and 2 cardboard nuc boxes. if you want to borrow the boxes and insert your frames as bait to try and get them down then just email or call me and you can use it. i do not have any frames to  use...well maybe an old shallow.
 
hopefully w/ the threat of rain they will hold off on flying away. SO... 2 nuc boxes and 2 bait lures are up for use if someone wants to come and get them. i live at 113 wolf's trail chapel hill, NC 27516. 919-969-4347
 
i'll set them out w/ the 2 baits inside (but sealed up) so you can get them if i am not here. they will be on the front porch. i do want the 2 boxes back.
 
i can also lend you some of the kids musical instruments as well ;-)

Its been there since yesterday afternoon - it sat WAY up in the tree,
even through some heavy thunderstorms, and has been there all night.  If
you think you can get it safely, come on over - email me for my phone
number.  In Efland, just south of 85.

Randall - we were remembering you saying something before about thunder
maybe triggering a swarm?  Or something about mimicking thunder to get
them back into the hive?  Are we crazy or did you mention something
about that before at a meeting?
