I am a new beekeeper in Oklahoma and need some advice. My first hive
swarmed while I was on vacation and until yesterday I had no idea where
they went. Now I know that they built a hive in the top of a nearby
tree among the branches. If my memory is correct, the hive is where a
old plastic wal-mart sack had become entangled during a storm last
spring. The hive is fairly large, aprox. the size of a man's torso.
 
How should I proceed? I can get an Orchard ladder underneath, but there
are no sturdy branches nearby & the hive is aprox. 18 feet off the
ground.
 
Thanks in advance,
