[QUOTE="NickWallingford, post: 11732, member: 44"] When I wrote a series of articles for the NZ Bkpr magazine, the editor used a small woodcut called "Tanging the Swarm", with an image of someone following a swarm, and banging on pots and pans as they followed. I initially had heard that the loud banging would cause the swarm to settle to the ground. But it turned out the noise was the means to establish that the owner still had the swarm in sight. So as long as you keep tanging, the swarm could still be yours. I'm not sure I would want to test this out in my neighbourhood. [/QUOTE]
