    I’m from American and I’ve kept bees my hole life and caught many many swarms with no suit but I think it’s because of where I’m at compared to you if I had to guess I’d say bees in Australia are more aggressive though I do agree if your new to keeping bees I’d where a suit, wouldn’t want someone getting a bad taste of bee keeping

    I have gotten a bunch of swarms out of the air with banging on metal and they usually settle right down. Also have used swarm commander just spray a small amount on the inside of your box and sit it down in the swarm and they will go right to the box.
