Now I know I can't be the first one... got a swarm call this morning. Easy deal- 5' off the ground in a tree, cut three branches and they're loaded in a deep, with a top on the bottom. Not sure if they had a queen in the big ball... Only the cover wasn't a tight fit so about 50+ bees are on the back window of my Caravan. Do I just open the back door and not worry about the stragglers, or let them sit tight till dark and hope they go back in the box?
when they die, vacuum them out.
open the car up and let them loose. Then vacuum any that stayed and died.

Next time, leave that hive body and top at home. You would have done better with a cardboard box
and some duct tape.
I keep a couple of bees flying around my truck just for company on long trips. :-D
