Hi Timsch,
You do what you have to do, and that is the way it works. Actually the bees should be fine in the bucket till tomorrow evening. A lot of swarms hang on the branch (or other object that they swarm to) for up to several days, granted they are not confined.
In your situation I would see if you have a fellow beekeeper in the area that would be willing to hive them for you in your apiary tomorrow. If you know someone that would be willing to do that.
Just my thoughts.
Happy Home
