Hello All,

While researching ‘bees in America’ I came across a database of old bee 
photos that contained this image titled; swarm catcher.

Is anyone familiar with the device and the manner in which it functioned? 
 
Particularly, if it interfered with hive functions such as hindering 
foragers from exiting the colony or drones.  Thanks!
