Swarm capture question
« on: July 06, 2018, 12:15:26 am »
Just a curios question. 

Was coming home from in laws tonight.  Literally ran into a swarm of bees.  Turned around and found they were going into a cottonwood tree....a good 25 feet up or more.

Figured this is there new home.  Is there anyway someone at this point can still capture them?  Can they be lured out somehow, or is it too late?

Thanks,  that?s what I was afraid of.  These bees are way too high for me to do a trap out.
