When bee is on edge of pool, capture in small matchbox with powdered
sugar in it. Release bee and watch flight path. Station an observer
where bee disappears from flight. You may have to repeat the process
several times to get enough sightings to lead you to the colony, When
close, if it is a large colony, you should hear buzzing around the entrance.
