Looks like a migrating queen deal where you have to find and relocate her to a better environment without utterly enraging her colony while doing so. Smoke was used to sedate them but I don't know if that's still used.

BTW, Jason Statham's movie "The Beekeeper" is definitely worth the watch.

Nobody was in any danger. A bee swam looking for a new place to hive, with no honey to protect, won’t sting people.

See bee bearding contests.

”Smoke was used to sedate them but I don't know if that's still used.”

I’m a beekeeper, and answer is ……
Yes they do still use Smoke, but not when dealing with a swarm. Smoke is used when opening up a hive. It causes the bees to settle down inside the hive and concentrate on filling their tummy’s with honey because they sense a fire may be coming and they would have to flee the area. When capturing a swarm we gently spray (mist) honey/water mixture on them. It works to calm them for several reasons.

LOL, I was just looking at the preview the other night...looked kind of interesting.

Do you know Jason Statham’s politics? (I always view it at a positive sign if it is largely unknown, regardless of what they support, Left or Right.)

Just curious.
