not to steal the thread,but I'd like to explain to kyfarmer how we've been doing it.Take a 5gal bucket&cut out the center of the lid,leaving about 2" ring .Use 1/8" hardware cloth to cover this.cut about an 1 1/2" hole in center of screen.Make a funnel out of a piece of the screen&attatchto center hole.I make the funnel a little bigger than the hole,push it in as far as I can,then snip it &fold over.I use a piece of telephone wire to tie the funnel in place.Wrap the funnel on the part in the bucket with duct tape to give it a dark hole look.you can also take a long handled paint roller,cut off the roller part,slide the rod under the rim where the bucket handle is,attatch to bucket with electric conduit clamp&now you have a swarm catcher you can put extension poles on to reach 'up there'.place a small limb in the bucket to avoid crushing.after getting as many bees as possible,if you got the queen they will crawl in the funnel&the few that remain on the top fanning you can cover with a piece of sheet till you get them to their new home
