What's happening here?
With the swarm act the bees followed their natural reproduction instinct: The queen leaves home with some of the bees of the "old" colony. The bees first gather in a suitable place before moving
into a new home. In this situation the bees are not defensive, because they have neither a home nor honey reserves to defend. All their attention is now focused on colony cohesion and the search
for a new home.
To catch a swarm, it is first sprayed with water. This makes the bees sluggish and makes it difficult for them to fly up. Then they are lodged in a box and brought to a new location. There the
swarm of bees is allowed to develop into a full-fledged colony.
As a finder's reward you will receive a jar of honey.
