Won't that make for ANGRY bees? I understand they are totally focused on taking care of the queen they are moving. But, dropping 15 feet into a recycle bin would piss me off.....I have a 15' tree pruner. On my tallest ladder I think I can lop the swarm branch off into a recycle bin. I have another hive set up on a stand. I hope I have enough beer for this project. I have to tread lightly. We're playing the team tied with us for first place in pool league tonight. I don't think I'll get my regular afternoon nap.
