Arizona has *nice* dry heat.  Our NY summers are muggy with
the humidity often above 90%. 

Reply:
But we are in our monsoon season now.

continuing:
What is your approach to swarm prevention and do you set up
bait hives to catch any swarms that might issue from your
hives?

Reply:
We have bait stands of equip in line of apiaries but really
don't seem to need them anymore now that we are sequenced
with Housel Positioning of our frames in all equipment. 

The bees really don't swarm anymore like they used to now
more naturally positioned. They fill and then why swarm
with lots of honey and food, and dry roof? Something else
has to be making them move............to us Housel
Positioning corrected most all of that.........
