I coulda swarm they were here a minute ago

One of our bee hives decided to swarm the other day and ended up in the very top of our next door neighbor's magnolia tree. I thought that that was it (goodbye bees). But the next afternoon, for some reason they moved to a limb closer to the ground and I was able to capture them by nudging them into a cardboard box. As luck would have it, a friend came over who was getting a hive ready for some bees he was going to buy. Together, we took the bees to his hive and they moved right in!
