Find a local bee keeper? I have a hive somewhere near me that is in the bush and I wish I could find it. The bees are going nuts with all the pollen in the trees.

MM, Ross from Lane Cove in Sydney keeps bees and we all appreciate his honey at GTG's & the Wood Show...
Maybe a "PM" to him will help answer some questions, Cheers, crowie

Smoke, and plenty of it. They become very placid in minutes.

I'm imaging this scene from "Tucker and Dale Vs Evil" (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=22SY8NR4mq4).
WARNING: Contains the teeniest amount of horror/gore/death. It's a fictional movie...relax :)

Funny movie if you're into this sort of thing :)

I saw that lot of bees flying along the highway with their legs crossed; think they were looking for a BP station.
