Such a disappointment
What happens here
Given the inaccessibility of the hive, the team devises a plan to use the logging machine itself to try and dislodge or encourage the bees to move. Adam lifts one side of the feller buncher with its hydraulic arm and slowly rotates the track, hoping the vibration and heat from the machinery will drive the bees out and into the nearby empty hive box. However, this attempt proves unsuccessful, and the bees remain within the machine.
Goal: Dislodge bees from inaccessible areas using the machine's movement.
