What happens here
This project documents an attempt to safely remove and relocate a honeybee colony that has built a hive inside a large logging machine (feller buncher). The process involves gathering beekeeping equipment, assessing the hive's location within the machine's tracks, and attempting to coax the bees into a new hive box using smoke and physical relocation of the machine. Despite the team's efforts, the bees prove to be inaccessible due to their deep nesting within the machinery, highlighting the challenges of such a complex removal.
