I have just collected a swarm from a neighbour. It was very conveniently on a stone wall, about 12 inches off the ground. The bees are now in my skep (a laundry basket) with a bedsheet tied around it. Last year I was able to tip both the swarms I collected into a brood box or poly nuc on the same day but I can't deal with these until tomorrow.
So, will they be OK outside, in the basket overnight ?
I can't think why they shouldn't be, but I'm just worried there might be something I'm missing.
