[QUOTE="Workinonit Farm, post: 1415357, member: 839"] A number of years, where I used to work, there was a small swarm that had gathered on one of the ornamental trees in the farm owner's yard. One of my co-workers had a couple of hives. She and I were able to "scoop" them off the limb and into a cardboard box, without being stung. We proceeded slowly and calmly. We left the box on the ground under the limb for a couple of hours, in order for some of the remaining "scouts" to return to the box (they will come back to the queen). We returned, poked tiny holes (smaller than a honeybee) in the box, sealed it up and she brought it home to a hive she had available. The only reason we captured them, was that the farm owner wanted them 'sprayed', and they agreed to let us try to remove them by day's end. [/QUOTE]
