As a retired arborist and 40 yr beekeeper,I wouldn't worry to much if you have hired a qualified crew.

Ironically,I have met more tree guys with bees than any other profession when you consider how few tree guys there are compared to other jobs.Must be because of a love of nature and the great outdoors.
As long as the tree is dropped away from the hive and is a
"plantation" pine (we used to call them pecker poles) instead of being shaped like a cabbage,I wouldn't worry.
I would,however,criss-cross strap with 2 binder straps and brace with a couple of 2x4s in case the " thump" of the trunk on the hard root system bounces the hive.Extract some of that honey so the stack isn't so tall.You already have the braggin' picture.
Cover the whole setup with a damp white sheet down to the ground and evaporation will keep them cool.
Ask the crew to come early in the morning while most of the bees are NOT out foraging.
Look for someone with a portable mill.Would make some nice barn siding.
