Capturing a Honeybee Swarm

A swarm of several thousand honeybees settled in a tree outside of Monarch Watch HQ on April 11, 2011 - they're not our bees (at least not the bees we have in our building) so we're not sure where they came from :-)

Disclaimer: You should not attempt anything depicted here or harass swarms of bees you come across. If you do not know what you are doing you could get stung; if you have an allergic reaction you could become seriously ill or even die. Kids, don't try this at home.
