Nice pictures, did the swarm stay? Hope so!

do you get stung when you use your hands like that?

i got about 15 the one time i tried that- the last time i tried that.

I normally don't get stung when capturing a swarm. There have been exceptions. I think I got one sting with that one, when I laid my hand on one on top the box.
Jeff, they did stay. It was a cool rainy evening about 6 PM, so I guess by morning they were settled.
