Title: Tree Log cut out
Post by: squidink on May 03, 2013, 05:04:30 am

I Had to to a cut out in a massive tree log today, there was heaps of honey and still an abundance of drones in with the girls. It was in a large paddock and i was able to borrow a generator for the bee vac and a chain saw to get to them as the complete length of the hive was a bit under 7 foot in length!

That's awesome! How long did it take you to get them out of the tree and into a hive?
