A True Doomsday Prepper
AD,
Yup, definitely check the same area. Just like one colony of bees will move into a vacated old empty hive, YJ could do the same.
And try just plain water as a bait. See which direction the YJ are coming/going to.
AND, if it's that dry, you should have a water source near your hives. In fact you might consider using a frame feeder, and just fill I with water instead. The issue being that an exterior water source would attract YJ, and near the hive that might attract YJ to attack the hive.
