Just got back from failing to collect a swarm that had settled right next to the door of a local church.
They left for their new home right on the point of me collecting them. Apparently they'd been there over a day already so I wasn't entirely surprised.
I'd opted for a pincer movement, scooping upwards with a cardboard box from below whilst gently brushing downwards from the top, but never actually got to the point of testing it. Would there have been a better way?
