swarm-list Mailing List: Re: Swarm in Dublin on Atlas Peak Drive. On base of a fence

    OK Info shortly.
    
    They might just walk into an Amazon box with a 2"x2" doorway cut
    along the edge. 
    It might be possible to scoop them with a 12 oz plastic soft-drink
    cup
    
    Once you get the queen in your catch box, the rest of the bees will
    follow.,
    Don't disrupt them or the bees might hide the queen somewhere you'll
    never get her out of. 
    Best, IMO to let them walk in on their own.

It's in the fringes of the suburbs.
