UNBELIEVABLE!! THEY SWARMED...AND WE CAUGHT THEM!!!

What happens here

Upon realizing a significant portion of the swarm remains on another section of the branch, the beekeeper, with assistance from another person in a bee suit (Mrs. Stoney Ridge), decides to transfer these remaining bees into the same box. He uses pruning shears to clip the branch holding the second cluster. He then positions this clipped branch, still covered in bees, right at the entrance of the already placed bee box, encouraging these bees to join the rest of the swarm inside.

Goal: Consolidate all bees from the swarm into a single bee box.
