Hi Chris,

He's fine... catching a swarm is when a beekeeper is called to collect a
swarm. He left an empty hive box that he sprayed with lemongrass &
spearmint oils underneath a swarm that had settled on a small maple tree.
It took a few days, but they ultimately relocated to the box. If it had
been on a low branch, he could have cut it off and shook the bees into the
box, but this worked just fine.
