Had my best hive....with 3 honey supers....swarm into a tree top. Probably about 50-75 feet. It looks as though it is still there. Any ideas how to get one of these without cutting down the tree?

About all you can do is set out 2 or 3 empty hives around the yard with drawn comb and/or lemongrass oil and hope.

Or shoot the limb off.
