I caught a swarm in my swarm trap ,it is 25'
in the air with a lowering rope anchored to the base of the tree -How do I get the swarm out of the trap and into a hive ,they have been in the trap for about a week

I take it you have a trap that has no frames in it? If so, you cut the comb out and tie it into frames.

Or build special frames:
