Are we destroying natural log hives? The temptation is high for people to "rescue" or "save" a wild colony by cutting open a natural log hive and transferring the colony in to a box. This should only be done as a last resort if the log is falling apart. If you come across a natural log hive and it's still in good shape try to leave it as is or put a top and bottom cap on a cut log. Too often logs are sourced and cut open just because people think that's what you're supposed to do, or just for demonstration purposes. Please don't support those that do this.
