Chain Sawing Capone's Bee Tree - Honey Bee Hive Partial Removal From A Dead Water Oak

This honey bee hive removal from a giant water oak tree was done with the cooperation and help of three local bee clubs. This was just a fun Saturday morning event set up to help new beekeepers or anyone thinking about doing any hive removals see what was actually involved in this kind of work. If this didn't scare them away from hive removals nothing will. This was about as difficult a removal from a tree as we could have possibly found. It was not our intention to make this out be be a big ordeal. That is just what this one turned out to be. We hadn't been able to pinpoint the location of the hive in the tree prior to that morning. We even tried using the FLIR ONE thermal camera and making several plunge cuts. The tree was too thick to use the infrared to locate the hive. It just turned into three hours of work in the blazing heat with the small reward of only a partial hive removal.

As we began the work of chain sawing and got the first big chunk cut out of the tree it reminded several of us of Geraldo Rivera cutting open Capone's vault. All the buildup and NOTHING! LOL

We had a dozen or so people show up with some coming from an hour or more away. Most of the attendees had to leave before we even reached the first comb section so they didn't get to see anything but a bunch of chainsaw work. The good part was we got to see some old friends and make some new acquaintances.

Thank you to everyone who participated. Recorded 9/10/2016
