They were ready

The guy called about 5pm and said that he had bees in his tree. I knew they were there for the night because of the time. I got there, sprayed them with water so they wouldn’t fly and shook them into the nuc. I took the water back to the truck and put it away, I was ready to wait for a bit for them to get into the box. By the time I was done, so were they. They were ready to get out of the open and everyone went into the nuc very fast.
