Does Swarm Commander Super Lure work for catching honey bee swarms?

What are the Swarm Commander ingredients?
Swarm Commander Super Lure is a proprietary synthetic blend designed to perfectly mimic the honey bee Nasonov pheromone. Instead of using heavy lemongrass oil, its secret formula is crafted from all-natural, food-grade floral terpenes. This chemical makeup is made to attract scout bees to your swarm traps without leaving any sticky or unwanted residue.
