Hi Mats,

To make your own swarm lures for traps.  Take a dozen virgin queens and
purree (not old queens).  Place the purree in alcohol.  Use a dab in each
swarm trap as a lure.  Old combs works well too. Add a new dab every month.

> -How big is the chance of "catching" a swarm this way?

Well you need swarms first. After that with a good lure you got about 60%
chance.  Without a lure it diminishes quite a bit.
