Recent work with swarm traps:

Feral honey bees in pine forest landscapes of east Texas
Robert N. Coulson, et al
Forest Ecology and Management 215 (2005) 91–102

The swarm trap used in the study was described by
Schmidt and Thoenes (1987) and Schmidt et al.
(1989). The trap has been found suitable for capturing
swarms of both European and Africanized honey bees
(Schmidt and Hurley, 1995). Each trap was baited with
a 1:1 citral:geraniol mixture and a small quantity of
beeswax which served as honey bee attractants. The
traps were attached to trees at ca. 2 m above the
ground using a rope tether (Fig. 2b). In all, 13 traps
were deployed on March 6 and 7, 2002 at different
locations along and adjacent to forest road corridors
within the study site (Fig. 1). The traps were
monitored on ca. a weekly schedule

Swarms colonized seven of the 13 swarm traps:
five were A. m. scutellata and two eastern European.
