if you want to save the tree, trap out. if you want"brood queen and all " cut the tree down and do a cut out.

Everyone said it couldn't be done. But he with a chuckle replied, "I won't be one to say it is so, until I give it a try."  So he buckled right in with a trace of a grin.  If he had a worry he hid it and he started to sing as he tackled that thing that couldn't be done, and he did it.  (unknown)

Anyways,never mind if you don't know,we figure we will just cut with a chain saw,not a water hose three feet on both sides of the entrance about an hour before dark,then give them time to get inside and screen the cuts if needed and stuff a rag in the entrance and screen and load on the pick-em up and take it home and the next day cut it up and put the brood and some honey on frames in a hive with the bees and queen.
 Does that sound good ?

sounds good.  there are some posts about cutouts like that in the removal section. some with pictures.  also some questions that have been answered about same.

just make sure they have good ventilation for transport and the wait.  screening and duct tape....etc.  also, the size of the hive can fool you.  you might want to drill a few holes to make sure you know exactly how big it is.
