I think we finally got them.
 
Wed.  caught them off blackberry vine.
 
Thurs.  evening they left the box and swarmed on a tree limb about 12 feet high.
got them into a swarm trap by strapping to a latter and holding under them
from the back of my 4-wheeler trailer.  My landlord reached up and shook the
limb with a long prunner.
 
Friday noon they swarmed back to the tree.  However by 5:00pm they left the
limb and went back to the box.  5:30 we moved them back to reg. box.
Baseball today but did not hear anything from landlord bad.
 
Stupid bees.  Don't they know I'm busy?
