What I would do is put a little kero on a cloth. Attach the cloth to the end of a long stick. Light up the cloth, move it under the hive. The idea is not to burn out the whole hive since it is under your stand. The heat, smoke, and fire should be enough to drop the hive. Also, bring water in case the fire spreads too far and hornet spay, when the bees hit the ground. Your stand may get a little blackend, but it you don't light up the entire hive, it should be ok.

One time we had a hornet nest surround a bird house. So I took an old arrow, attached a cloth, soaked it in kero, lite it and shot it into the brird house. The fire than went out when it hit the bird house. I let the bees calm down, attached a coth to a branch, kero, and lit the branch. Placed it under the arrow to re-light the cloth. The entire hive went up and it was neat seeing fire in the middle of the tree. Eventuallty everything fell down and we killed the remaining bees on the ground. Put out the fire on the tree. Hive is gone.
