Denrie - you are the only beekeeper I know brave enough to work hot hives without a suit. You’re lucky your reaction to bee sting is minor. 

Also taking comments off Swarmlist.

Bees crawl alot at night especially toward a light which will be required.  Definitely suit up tight, they crawl up pantlegs. 
If they are in the can then they are mingled with the trash.What kinda trash? How much trash really? Is it a full swarm or stragglers? In the rain?
I'll go tomorrow ETA 9am if they wanna hold back the can.

Sorry. No pix

The trash truck empties out at 5:30am

If not tonight, the caller can hold back the can because there isn’t much trash in it

The caller is OK with holding the can back from the 5:30 am trash pick-up.
That means it's a day-time job. 
Can be done without a Bee-Vac.    
Lift the lid and scoop the bees a cup at a time into your catch box. 
(Can use a bee-vac if you like.) 

So who's game for this one now?
