>As said on a previous post the effect on the bees last between 5 to 10
minutes. It is impressive. The first time you probably think you have kill them all. 

i've seen this done to catch a swarm with minimal flying.  i'd consider this for a swarm in a crowded area.  it was my understanding (perhaps flawed), that upon burning, the ammonium nitrate produces nitrous oxide?  they do just "drop".

>I believe bees loose their memory...because they were no
longer pollinating the blueberries but prefering tha apple  bloom. 

yes, i've also read of using this when the bees are on the dandelions rather than the fruit trees they are being paid to service :)  i've never heard of it for queen introduction....interesting.
