This log is an oak that was twisted out of a twin tree about 20 feet above ground. I was called to come rescue the bees if possible. We cut 8 feet out of the fallen lap that was on the owner's wood stove shed.
My first cut on the small end put me right through a small roll of clear honey. Once I got the log to the bee yard, there was not much left to cut off.
This log is 54 inches tall, and will be opened around the first of March to move the colony into the brood box. The original tree hollow entrance was closed forcing the bees through the brood box on top.
