<< *this swarm had a very distinct aroma of lemons. >>
   The next time you see lemon balm growing in the garden bruise some and you
will find the smell the same as the bees fanning in a swarm.
I love catching swarms  2 this season so far in CT.
   Sometimes putting a frame into a  pile of bees in a swarm and scooping
them up and into a hive body gets the rest to follow.
   Sometimes after most of the bees are in the hive body and a cup or two are
left on the original cluste smoking them heavily will get them to join the
hive body.
   May all your swarms be head high and gentle
