You won't set a trap. Follow the "bee line". You can sit and watch the flight path and then estimate where to watch from next until you finally track them down, but they are probably as much as a couple of miles away. If you are close to a water source and a food source then they are close by more than likely. If you get a swarm, you can simply creep up and get them into a container like a box and then place them in a bee box with a queen inhibitor (locks the queen in due to her bigger size). Then you have a hive for free. Bees are easy, just creepy.

I know the bee folks manager at the PA Faire. They are overpriced, but they're getting the honey third hand...they're not buying from beekeepers, but a middleman. Their killer bee honey is wildflower from Argentina, where there are no longer any European Honey Bees, just Africanized. I suggest you find a better honey dealer...they're charging retail + even on bulk honey. If you're in MD, you can find some local beekeepers to buy from in bulk. Check out your local beekeeping group for contacts.
