Got a call today from a former coworker, his brother in law cut down a soft maple tree this week with a beehive in it, I went and got the log with the hive in it , it has been on its side for a few days ,for now I stood it upright and covered the top, I realize their chances are slim to none but their chances were none where they were at. I would say at least half of the comb was lost. I'm thinking of trying to provide some sugar or candy in a box on top other than that I don't know what else I can do without cutting them out, I thought I should wait until spring to do that, any suggestions would be appreciated, I had fun doing it, even if it turns out to be a waste of time.
