Mostly to Judy, Ed, and Larry who asked for more information about drumming
bees:  If a swarm is ON the ground so you can't pick it up and shake or dump
it into a hive box, try placing a hive on the ground right beside the swarm.
Then begin to tap, beat, drum, steadily on the hive cover, one beat every
two or three seconds. In a fairly short period of time (5-15 mins?), the
bees will begin to orient themselves in the direction of the hive entrance
and then will begin to march right in! Someties after a bit, they will just
FLOOD in so fast they block up the entrance and will need to be brushed down
again. The nivce part is being able to see the queen waddle right along in
there. If you don't want to watch after they've started to enter the hive,
just leave, but I have stuck around and thumped on the hive for five mins
or so even after they started entering. Hope this helps. Good luck: may all
your swarms be two feet off the ground, very large, and very gentle.
