Years ago I read an article concerning beelining. I have yet to
try this technique myself and I am recalling the basics from memory. The
technique included the idea of triangulating the bee lines. Basically
after you have sufficient bees in the box to let one go and set a line
of site. Set a sight line by placing a pole with a stick pointing in the
general direction. You then move off to an angle of the beeline and let
another bee go. Set another sight line. Now move back across the first
site line still moving in the general direction. Let another bee go and
set the third site line.
 
        With the three lines set you can now walk a considerable
distance toward the intersection of the three lines of site before
repeating the process.
