wild swarm ,,,get in

[fox403]

OK first pictures is from were the swarm came from,,I live near a old wall garden were there have been wild bees living in the wall for 50 years plus they are as close to the native bee Apis mellifera that I will get, so today come home to find a swarm in a tree 40 feet above me which im sure I can get if I take risks, but should I just wait! seem to be very interested in a load of suppers I have stacked on top of each other,,but if swarm flys away I will be gutted lol
