I am interested.  This is my second year bee keeping.  I have a couple of empty top bar hives that I would like to put a colony of bees in.   Let me know - this would be my first time collecting a swarm.

Ill volunteer to take a newbee out and show you the ropes for this one. Youll need foundationless frames (just pop the plastic foundations out) and a bunch of rubberbands. Like Jerry said, it doesn't have to be a today thing, so we'd have time to coordinate. 
Also a really good option for any top bar hive people.
