Next, they took hold of the branch just above where the swarm was attached, and with a small pair of snips my wife had, they cut the branch just below the bees, and put the whole thing in the bucket and put the top on it. Lots of bees were still flying around, and some were landing on the bucket, trying to get in where the others were, I suppose.
Afer thinking I had just witnessed the most amazing thing, it got even better. Eddie took an old bee hive off the truck and placed it on the ground, near the bucket, and still close to where the bees had attached themselves to the forsythia bush. Then, they laid a piece of white paper on the ground, adjacent to the bee hive. On the bottom lip of bee (lives, there is am entrance for the bees. It is only about % of an inch high, and about' 3Vi inches wide. This is a small opening for that many bees, to say the least.
Then, they opened the bucket, took out the branch with the bees still attached, and gently bumped it against the bottom lip of the hive. I was sure things were about to get really ugly. It didn’t happen.
All the bees fell off onto the bottom lip of the hive or the paper. Next, reaching around to the side of the hive, he gently tapped on the hive with his fingertips, and all of the bees marched themselves straightaway into that little hole at the bottom of the hive. He said the tapping lets the bees know the hive is hollow. I am pretty certain my jaw about hit the ground.
