Maybe this was really a publicity stunt for their new miniseries: Dino-Bees 2013! Gives me hives just thinking about it.  Sounds more like that Syfy thing to me.

(Or presumably, all the time.)  My father kept bees, and was once asked to recover a swarm somewhere. Technique was: place blanket under swarm, which was on a branch. Shake branch; bees fall on blanket. Shake blanket into hive or desired carrying receptacle. I imagine it is more complicated if the bees are swarming in or around a structure like an airplane.
