I feel  sorry for the home owners and was wondering if there is a non-toxic 
substance  that can be deposited after the colony is removed to make the 
location  unattractive to new swarms.

Would like to hear all your  ideas/experiences!



I have used Bee Go on a house cavity that was being investigated by scouts  
and the bees went elsewhere.  The householder (who paid my for my trouble)  
though the Bee Go smelt like Parmesan cheese.  I don't seem able to get Bee  Go 
in the UK any more. Does anybody know of a source? It is useful for herding  
swarms, even established colonies in cavities, but I wouldn't let it anywhere  
near honey!
