   if i were permitted to cut the barrel top i would make cuts at 0°
and 180° longer than a 2x4 is wide.  screw a 2x4 that is longer than
the top to the top over the cuts and then finish the cuts around the
barrel.  now you have the top free of the barrel and secured to the 2x4
holding it from   falling inside.    cut the comb to fit the inside of a
hive body and set inside.  super UNDER the whole bit and when they move
down and empty the upper body you can remove it.
