Barry Sergeant gave some excellent pointers on swamp trapping.
Melted wax? Propolis? A torch? All new to me, but it makes sense.
Swarms are rare enough in the Southeastern USA to prompt nearly
all beekeepers to jokingly thank (tease!) their neighboring beekeepers
for swarms trapped, so even a small technological edge might be
significant.
I'm confused on one point:

Above the equator, the sun rises in the East, just as it does below.
Why would one reverse the direction above the equator?
