A couple of photos that show the swarm ball before capture and then the box used to collect the bees. A frame of bee comb is placed in the box and the swarm ball is cut from the bush and carefully placed in the box. The lid is left ajar so returning bees can find the queen. The box is then picked up at dusk.
