Making sampling easy:
I use Medhat's two jar windshield wiper fluid method.
But I would add: an insect vac. You can easily collect the right amount of bees in seconds.
I got mine from Bioquip for around $100. It has a cord which plugs into the "cigarette lighter jack".
It appears they don't sell that one anymore; they have a cordless one for a lot more $$.

some of the other insect vacs might work
