        For only the second time in my (amateur) career as a beekeeper, I had a
chance to "drum the bees" (that is, a a swarm of bees) into a hive box. Is
there any literature about this technique or other information about it?
I first heard about it from an old guy 15 years ago; did it once shortly
thereafter when a swarm was already on the ground; second time day before
yesterday with another swarm on the ground. I assume that "everybody else"
already knows about it, but I'll be happy to supply more information if
anyone wants it.
