I caught a swarm for a friend last night. I have them in a wooden box which has #8 hardware cloth on the sides. I have them in the basement where it is not hot. I have been spraying the hardware cloth from time to time with sugar water. I am going to bring them to her this evening -- do you all think they will be fine? They seem fine, although they seem like they want to move and get out of that box. I just never kept a swarm more than capturing it and bringing it right to the bee yard.
