"Swarm traps work better 8ft to 12 ft off the ground."
Tom Seeley did confirm this. So having a box on the garage roof will more likely to catch a swarm compared to a box on the grass.
I wonder if there was a tower of identical boxes, 10 high and a metre between each, which box would be selected by the scout bees for the colony to go in to. I am not aware that an experiment like that has been conducted.

May your bees read the same books as you do.
