Bee Gum Log p/u in Cumberland County, VA 12/13/14

A dead Poplar tree was cut for firewood. Oh no! The tree has honey bees. 

Top of the comb containing honey is just to the right (stump side) of the crack in the log.

The only entrance into the hollow is where I stuffed the white rag.

Top edge of the comb. The log has been set back to its original position.

A plate has been milled with the opening just over the comb area. High density foam was used to seal the area between the board and uneven cuts on the log. 


A sleeve with a small entrance notch was added. The medium super will come off, and a candy board will go on under the lid.
