I am having a problem doing the logistics of undertaking a cut out of an AHB swarm that has lodged within a hollow about eight feet off ground in a tropical hardwood tree. There are actually four such AHB sites in about the same conditions within the area and since they are creating havoc among the farm animals and the general public in general, I am trying to save them from the planned fire treatment that the locals are planning for them this next weekend. First, should I attack the problem at night or in the very early morning? Then, since I am sure they will be with full honey comb, brood and bad attitude, will it be of any use trying to locate the Queen? I have beesuits, gloves, chainsaw, wood working tools, heavy smokers, boxes and two very brave bee protected helpers and am ready to go. Apart from the obvious problems with the bees, the tree is full of thorns and the hollow(s) are also known to be occupied by poison snakes and scorpions. This looks as if it might be fun ... or?
