just curious but how does a beekeeper fetch them back to his hive?
I'm very important. I have many leather-bound books and my apartment smells of rich mahogany.

From what I have read the beekeeper holds a cardboard box under the swarm, gives a good hard knock to whatever they are holding onto, and as if by magic :) the swarm falls into the box.

The beekeeper will also need to have an empty, spare, hive to put them in.
