Getting the swarm out of the tree.
They are dumped on a screen (our choice) and herded into the hive. Meanwhile we are on our hands and knees desperately searching for the queen. If we didn't get her, then all of the bees will head back up to the tree looking for her. After all she makes the decision on if they should stay or if they should go.
The top of a hive in one of our yards, just so you can see it.
