Cottonwood tree removal

The homeowner wanted to remove this cottonwood stump but a bee swarm moved in. It had been there since last year sometime. The tree guy tried to smoke them out but caught the tree on fire. I spent 45 min the day he did it putting the fire/smoldering tree out. Next day I did the removal. Cut into the trunk and found them. Got 4 frames of brood(baby bees) and framed them up to take to bee yard. Found the queen in a hole and saw here a few times. I did finally get her out but when I went to catch her she unfortunately moved into the side and I pinched her between the two sides when closing the queen clip. When I screw up I still show it as live doesn’t always work how expected. The bees will make a new queen from the eggs.
