At First He Wanted Them Gone But Let Them Bee

Moe called me to remove a beehive that was living in his home for at least two years.
At some point during the process we discussed the idea of leaving the colony right where it was & Moe kind of dug the idea. In his area it's okay to have bees, well his home now is their permanent residence.
I went back more than a year later for part 2 & we accessed the hive & harvested some more honey.
There will be a part 3, sometime in the near future, stay tuned!

Hats off to Moe for keeping the bees. I'm looking forward to part 3.

[@valentinsantiago277]

Me too.

[@andrewdelaney2915]

JP loved your content.Are you well and safe? Yappy is. Not you however. Best wishes

[@samanthasimental3788]

Moe is a good landlord. All he asks for is a bit of honey.

[@valentinsantiago277]

This is so different. I love it. The fact you mentioned that they are not like termites is awesome. People need to know. Your customer is a rock star. Give him props. You are too for handling the job this way. Way to go man. Hope other bee guys follow suit. Seems to be good for all involved and most importantly the bees. Love your channel and keep up the great work.

[@estreya7370]

Bravo to you, and bravo to Moe for having the heart and soul of a beekeeper! Not only did this colony survive the winter, but it's clearly off to a strong start this season. I can't wait to see the follow-up. Cheers to you both, and cheers to the bees!

[@zeo5527]

The way the bees filled that whole space up with honeycomb is really cool

[@TechGorilla1987]

That dude looks hard like young Tyson, but he's got a huge heart of gold. Peace to you, Moe!

[@sawone3218]

Nice guy for sure. But comparing to Iron Mike...... Uhh..no way.

[@NiceDemonQueen]

Nice that the bees get to stay.

[@Svenz0r]

4:55 I'm glad you finally noticed just how close the power cord was to the blade there... had me stressed out for a second.

[@dallasfairall1952]

Haha , same here mate, i think JP needs to invest in some quality cordless tools

[@geoffsayshello318]

Same

[@leardi58]

Hope you are all ok down there buddy 🙏🇺🇲👍 keep us posted

[@nbolin2879]

Moe is a lucky dude. Raw comb honey is so good but so hard to find! Thanks JP!

[@G-gnome]

It’s easier than you think. Go to eatwild and then you pick from the state list to see who’s in your area. A lot of them do the honeybee sting therapy for certain ailments.

[@leannkennedy6568]

Pretty cool that he left the bees there. Maybe that will be a new future hive invention.

[@ChaosMagnet]

Moe is a great guy. I have to give major props to a guy who loves animals. And bees.

[@emilycarter2492]

Would love to see an update. The plexiglass idea would be amazing for the neighborhood and for education. Moe should reach out on social media to see if any contractors and plexiglass companies would be willing to donate the labor in exchange for the positive press. Once finished, he could allow schools to bring students to see it in return for a donation to keep everything updated. That kind of media attention would spark the neighborhood and would pay dividends in helping the neighborhood.

[@camymobile5641]

"does he get him any- bein that small" 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@michaelg6686]

That's beautiful Honey. Nice work "JP".

[@L2FlyMN]

My thinking is, if he wants to keep the bees, he needs to provide them with a horizontal Layens hive, for them to move into. That way he could repair his home, & give the bees a good alternative home at the same time. I love what you do! I put the word out in my community, in central Minnesota, that if someone sees a swarm, to contact me first, & not to kill them! Who knows what I may run into, but it will be interesting! I have a swarm trap out, & waiting.

[@msilas5577]

Very nice and inspiring that Moe kept the bees. Can he start a hive where he doesn’t ruin his house to harvest the honey? Good on you too to help him, JP!!

[@Russeljfinch]

Really up to Moe it’s his choice

[@kushpaladin]

would be cool if he implemented some sort of door in the corner, where he can open it up to harvest some of it. hmmmm

[@yomamadeathz]

now thats awesome! he kept the bees for the honey LOL. This video threw through a loop when he said 2016 at the start lol. man-o-man... time sure does fly

[@Quaddragon]

I think Moe should have relocated them into a new container that way he doesn't have to keep opening his house. Still super cool to see someone that decided not to get rid of them.

[@ChaosMagnet]

I love that you call the bees ‘darlings’.

[@Ms1lonewolf]

That's cool of Moe to leave the bee's where they're at. I'm so happy to see this!! Thank you Moe and God bless you and JP. 😎🇺🇸🌴 FLORIDA.

[@ceciliamaben]

Hope all is well been a while since your last video….just thought about the great beeman 🥰❤️

[@JPthebeeman]

Doing okay my lady. Just stepped away a minute to catch my breath. New videos will be coming soon. Thanks for your patience, have a great weekend. ✌️🐝

[@gregoryscott5063]

Glad to see you put on your safety glasses. 🐝😎

[@aperson9495]

Wouldn't it make more sense to move them out of the 'pillar' and into an actual hive box but at the same location since he decided he wanted to keep them around? seems like that would actually be better for everyone, the bees included.

[@LiosWorld1]

Moe is cool. He is living the dream

[@Kdrive23]

So fun!! Moe knows...keep the bees, have a continuous honey supply!

[@royking1]

Thought he was going to get a hive to put his house bees into. Definitely a future Beek there JP!

[@cjtaylor5917]

Everybody SHOULD have a HOME HIVE! Nice!

[@joefyda9105]

Welcome back been going through some JP withdrawal.

[@cathymontgomery7295]

Maybe Mo should become a beekeeper.

[@JPthebeeman]

He is. 😉

[@esparka]

Yep, them are some kept bees.....

[@rosebudbaxter4671]

This is awesome!!! Thank you, Moe!

[@marianhoblyn1901]

Well done to Mo for keeping those bees, and all the other animals, what a guy. Always good to see you Jp. Great video as always.

[@patprop74]

Let's pretend for some reason Moe would have to sell the house quickly, and you were a potential buyer, Would you buy it with exposed outer walls that is full of bees? we both know the answer to that if we are both being honest, it's good for the bees but not for protecting his investment lol

[@roxannaweaver2155]

Tell ya what, JP. All this watching of your videos is serving me well. I can tell drone brood and queen cells easy peasy, almost able to tell the age of the hive by the color of the comb, the age of the honey by it's color. I've got me a top bar hive to play with for my yard, just plan to keep the one as I am not needing a lot of honey since it's just me. Will get bees next spring I think as I still have a bit of repair work to do to the hive itself and since it's just me it takes me a bit longer than usual these days to get things done. But...I figure the bees will do a lot of good around the neighborhood with the apple trees, flowers, and gardens. I know they will love my huge rose bush. I'm very happy for the bees that Moe wanted to keep them.

[@FireoftheGreeks]

"Hey Moe ~ Nyuck nyuck nyuck". Moe is good people!

[@cherylcarnes4207]

Very sweet video JP. Keep teaching the young ones about how important those sweet creatures are to life. Thanks again. Bee well.

[@jaybird8748]

You've got some cool people and bees where you live JP!

So glad that could leave the bees. 🐝 🐝

[@mersadmohammadnejad2114]

It has never crossed my mind that I can get such good vibes from bees, thanks for sharing these amazing moments. You're the man & you will always Bee the Man.

[@landroveraddict2457]

It would bee nice to hook the guy up with a hive, seems like he'd appreciate having a bit more nature around him.

[@danieldocat2919]

Thats very good , decided not to remove the bees, they are not destructive insects they are blessings to his house.

[@fastsetinthewest]

Bee as you wish, it was a great video 👍. Eaglegards...

[@heathertowne7709]

Moe this is awesome! Can't wait to see Part 3. The world needs more like both of you. Thank you!

[@stormangelus6638]

I'm looking forward to seeing the follow-up video for this one!

[@violetsands]

You can feed your chickens the scrap pieces of honeycomb and they will pick it off of any bugs and honey. Nice as a rare treat for them.

[@dettaslid7584]

Blessings JP been waiting on your next video.thanks alot goes to you I did my first bee removal last week.i was quite successful in removing it completely.rememberjng your words and instructions through wat I learnt on your videos. Small caribbean man turn Beeman

[@GrannyRoberta]

@@JPthebeeman I'm never gonna be doing any bee removals, but this made me think I should thank you for what I've learned about beekeeping from your videos. The main thing is: move slower, move gentler. I think there's Louisiana speed and there's N'Yawker speed. And Louisiana speed is better for bees. :)

could put the bees in to a box for him and moe could learn to mange his own hive and get more honey from a well managed hide

[@chrisbruce3164]

Awesome video JP! If more home owners took this approach not only would they have honey but our bees would have more comfortable homes. Looking forward to part 3. Love those Bee vitamins. 🐝🍯✨✅✨

[@localsouptalks]

I like this different approach on beekeeping. (Thanks Moe!) Looking forward to Part 3.

[@andrewpingel3933]

Mo should build himself a swarm trap and place it somewhere nearby in the yard, you never know. A lil lemongrass oil, some old comb on frames and some propolis added, might give em incentive to move into that. Mo could have him some new livestock and an easier way to acquire some honey.

[@BrenColRec]

JP I could happily listen to your vacuum for hours, in fact I have as I go through the videos in your channel. You are my favorite bee related channel, keep on keeping on man.

You brought the neighbor Willow in and I started to have flashbacks to the time you got it all stolen after doing the work and sharing the honey with that hippie lady and the guy who lived near by .......

[@ivoman7]

I mainly put it in my mint-teas. Was gonna write, I only put it in my mint-teas. But I can't. I also use it in a stir fry (wok) soja-saus+honey at the end of the stir fry process. Also too much honey in my teas makes my tea bad. So use moderately. Unless it's your birthday. :)

[@markf5653]

Interesting for the owner to want to leave the bees in place within the walls of his house.
