RE: Another day, ANOTHER caught swarm of Honeybees on Fleming Family Farm
Beginner's luck? At least I hope not, I don't want to jinx it...
What do you do when that happens? I have tall trees all around the property so it is one of my concerns.
If I can get a string around the branch they are on with either a throwing weight of sling shot, I hoist a drawn frame of comb up so that it touches the swarm and they will move onto the comb and then I just lower it. The trick is that the comb must touch the cluster so they can walk to it. They will not fly to it, even if it is just a few inches away.

Wow! Mind Blown!
Super ingenious and kinda simple sounding.
