ummmm not the worst idea, but dont shoot the swarm, hit next to it that will
jolt the bulk of them down the problem is at that hight most will be able to
take flight before hitting the ground and zoom right back up to location,
your best best is to set up a couple attractive bait hives the scouts will
find it it no time. and this way you wont harm the tree in the proscess.
