Commiserate with me, please. I attached before and after pics.
I cut out two of seven hives, three colonies intact, bees flying. Can't get to the rest yet. UGH! This is not what I wanted to be doing!
Third pic is a 14 inch trunk dropped right between two stacks housing three colonies.(yup, that's a double screen board) Lucky? No lucky?

Wow, I feel for you Matt.

I feel for you Matt. Took me two days to cut my way into a yard last year.
But on the bright side, they were still there with what looks like minimal damage
That sucks. I hope you will be surprised to find that most are salvageable. They are tough little things.
That hurts to see, hoping for the best for you.
Oh what a shame! Hopefully everything will be salvageable.
OUCH
I had something very similar happen to me this seson.
A large tree came across a bench of 7 nuc's.
My son helped me cut the branches away with a pole saw.
I lost one nuc - too much water got into it.
Not a single sting.
All the best with the cleanup.
So sorry to hear that Matt, if I was nearby I'd be happy to help clean up
Sorry to hear that Matt. Sounds like you were pretty lucky considering. Looks like just a lot of clean up work. Hopefully the hey all survived.

Sorry that happened to you it is one of my big fears with my hive all under trees
I am so sorry, Matt.
