This reminds me of a swarm I got this past summer. They were in a compost bin, the kind that turns around. The owners kept turning the compost in the hopes of discouraging the bees from staying in there. No deal!! They stayed. We scooped them up with our hands and put them into a box. Never saw the queen although we tried really hard to find her, but we knew she was in the box due to all the fanning. I went back at 10:00PM and brought them home.
I am really enjoying your videos Scott and Peggy. Keep them coming.
