Bee-listers,
 
Today I had my first call on a swarm.  ( I have my name on the local Ag and
fire department lists).
 
Arriving at the scene I noted a nice size swarm about 15 feet hanging on a
pine branch. Too high for a ladder.
 
WHat devices are there for capturing swarms from high locations?
 
I remember reading in Bee Culture about a swarm capture technique using
some long poles and a plastic garbage bag.
 
Any other ideas?
