      Another way to capture a swarm that is too high for a ladder is to raise
a frame of brood to the swarm.  The bees should move onto the frame, covering
the brood, and the frame can be lowered to the beekeeper.  The instinct that
drives bees to care for brood is, apparently, stronger than the swarming
instinct.
