 Simple, Bill!

1.  Make several simple swarm boxes out of apple boxes or old hives.

2.  Book a two-week vacation to Florida, Texas, or Tucson, and take the
boxes along.

3.  Set the boxes in trees while you enjoy your vacation.

4..By the time your vacation is over, the boxes should contain fresh feral
swarms.  Take them home--they should be gentle and productive for a few
months before the fireworks start.

Glad to be of help,
Randy Oliver
