Yield: 3 ounces
Ingredients
2 tablespoons beeswax
1/4 cup olive oil
40 drops (2 milliliters) lemongrass essential oil

Directions
Make a double boiler using a tin can. Melt the beeswax and olive oil together in the can, over medium heat. Remove from the heat.
Add the lemongrass essential oil. Stir the mixture while it cools, just until it begins to thicken. Pour into a 4-ounce tin. Allow the lure to cool.

To use
Smear one tablespoon of the swarm lure at the back of the hive box.
Set the hive box in the shade, raised above the ground where it is dry.
Wait for the bees to swarm. You just might get lucky
