This was an enormous exposed hive about 40 feet up in a very large oak tree. It is hard to judge size by the photo, but to give you perspective, once it was cut from the tree, we placed in in an extra large plastic trash can I picked up at OSH. I put a screened vent about midway up the can and a 4 inch wide slit at the bottom for an entrance. To get to the hive we had a Pettibone crane lift us up in a bucket.
