I've gotten many hundreds of swarm calls over several decades in my
non-Africanized area.  Only one was in a water meter box. Yes, European
stock may occasionally nest in small cavities underground, but this appears
to be the exception rather than the norm.

I find Pete's post about utilizing swarm trap size to sort AHB swarms from
EHB swarms to be of great practical application.
