it beats ladders and other precarious fiddly farting around with poles and buckets; buckets on the front of a tractor or standing on the bed of a pick up truck or on the hard top of my jeep.............
i don't much care for standing on ladders anymore, the last few swarms i took down the road were in grape vines and teeny trees........and the vines and trees weren't much taller than i was, ground level, works for me!
