I once placed a swarm in a plastic box in a garden shed, connected by a tube to the outside on the shaded side, close to a hedge. The box was covered to exclude light except when I was taking a peek.
They built their combs at roughly 45 degrees to the entrance but I noticed that their alignment was very close to North/South and I wonder whether they are affected by magnetism.
