Have swarms quietened down in Melbourne?

[OzBuzz]

Hi Everybody,

Just wondering if swarm calls etc have quietened down in Melbourne for people out there who collect them? I've had only one swarm call in three weeks now - plenty of hive removal calls from behind walls etc but not many swarms. Early - Mid November it was going crazy!

Caught a ripper last night.there seems to be plenty about here in the mallee but unfortunately i always seem to hear about them after the fact or after someone has called the pest controller...too late then

I didint get as many this year as last year and only 1 or 2 calls for swarms in the last month. Loads for behind walls and in roofs.
