How To Catch a Bee

How To Catch a Bee (should you ever want to)

Step 1. Look carefully in shrubs and flowers. Two are better than one so a hunting partner will help.

Step 2. Have the right equipment. A net and a small bowl are ideal

Step 3. After you've caught your prey, carefully transport it to a holding facility

Step 4. Transport the bee from the net into it's new home.

Note: You will need a trusted and capable assistant for this. We do not recommend that you try this step alone.

Step 5. Place net, with entrapped bee, over the bee's new home and wiggle it out. This step takes the utmost concentration and skill. Not to be done by amateurs!

Step 6. Carefully check to see if you succeeded in a successful transfer

Step 7. Carefully insect your bee for injuries

BE WARNED:

Bee catching is a delicate operation and should NOT be handled by amatuers. Many will volunteer to help you but below are some types that you should avoid in your potentially dangerous bee catching endeavours.

Blonds.

I can not stress enough, do NOT allow blonds, such as this one, to assist in this delicate operation.

Volunteers such as these two. This is not a good crew. Note their lack of proper equipment
and seriousness

Those with long ears.

And guys like this who will simply eat your bee

Amazingly, no child was harmed in the taking of these pictures. At least 20 bees were caught and flew away, er, were released....
