Bee Man Gains 5,000 New Girlfriends In One Day!

Yes, 5,000 ladies "bees" really do try to leave the bee man on this day but the bee man had a few tricks up his sleeve & instead of them leaving, he gained 5,000 new girlfriends, all in one day.
That's my story & I'm sticking to it!
So, this video is all about why I take the time to find & cage the queen bee when dealing with a swarm of bees.
If the bees decide to leave the set up you place them in they are forced to come back unless of course there is more than one queen & that's just bad luck or is it?
Watch as this particular swarm tries to leave for parts unknown but I cage their rather plump & most definitely mated queen & gain 5,000 new girlfriends all in one day.
If you enjoy the content on my channel there are always new videos coming as I stay busy as a bee!

'She's a nice plump Italian gal' is my new favorite thing

[@gaeltacht]

I found your videos at random but have been binging them for days now! This has done so much to help me be more relaxed around the bees in my garden. Not so much with the evil wasps, but the bees aren't so scary to me anymore!

[@ashrevlution3456]

Seeing them airbourne and transferring themselves from the bush to the office box was awesome. 👏👏👏

[@Genesis--me8ud]

Yes bees are so fascinating one can learn so much .. they sleep early and work all days but have a short live, they are only focus, loyal and purpose when they have a queen.. I need to have this schedule 😂

[@cowdudy]

I’ll have to remember that little game next time I get a swarm. That’s pretty funny that they would believe you could call bees into the box.

[@dp.2766]

Reminds me of Shawee’s story about hanging out on the pool deck watching the bees flying away when he had the queen caged and getting up and yelling at them to get back in the box!

[@JPthebeeman]

He thoroughly enjoys telling that story. 😉👍🐝

[@axien3159]

I grew up in a second story room with a hive on the wall. They never bothered me even when they occasionally came through my side of the wall and I absolutely loved the sweet honey smell.

[@VictorCastillo-un1gd]

I grew up in South Los Angeles. I have rare encounters with Bees. The one time I got a “Love Tap” on my hand, I swear I felt my heartbeat with every pulse.

[@MelissaJoyArtistry]

When you said "box" at first I thought you had your standard wooden box. I love how you've improvised & literally turned a plastic fork storage box into a home for the bees lol At first they were like "What the hell is this shit? We want the tree" but they hv no choice 😂

I love watching the bees hard at work on the flowers in my garden. You’ve taught me what fascinating creatures they are. I now support our local beekeeper who sells delicious honey. Watching you with the bees is so beautiful.

Hi JP, long time no see. Dallas, Texas The shrub I think is a gardenia

[@lynnbetts4332]

I had some beekeepers set up 4 hive boxes in my pasture (I'll get 1/4 of the honey!) on a Thursday. When they brought the new bees to put in them on Tuesday, one hive already had a swarm take over and had built some comb! One piece was 5"x6". So now, I have 5 hives in my pasture. They also put out 2 more swarm boxes to see if we can catch another swarm.

[@JPthebeeman]

Back when I had bees and split them I would mix honey and water and use a paint brush to apply to the empty frams. But I still lost one swarm. I only raised them for 2 years which the previous renter left me with and working construction I left to them to someone else having to go to another Job.

[@hikebikearchaeology1782]

JP - really love your content. In another video you talked about the varroa mite problem - my question: have you or your fellow beekeepers talked about using its natural enemy Chelifer cancroides (in germany its called Bücherskorpion - book scorpion). This little critter was allready used in the middle ages in europe and has now a strong comeback.

[@JPthebeeman]

I don’t believe bees would mind having them in their colonies, besides varroa develop in drone cells & pseudos would have to get to em before the cells were capped. I don’t see that happening.

[@hikebikearchaeology1782]

@@JPthebeeman yeah but the effect of the scorpions is strong enough to have a healthy colony without using chemicals from what I read. The also go after hive beatle larva and bee moths. There is a bunch of content about this on KZbin but it's mostly in german I fear. Anyways your videos are very inspiring - I will even pay our local Beeman a visit to show me around. Sadly as an archeologist I mostly only see european hornets when I'm in the fields. Other Insects are disappearing at alarming rates

[@JPthebeeman]

Well, you have foragers coming in when you need scouts. Research “bee lining” & find out where the bees are coming from. Then place your bait hives near those colonies.

[@crystalpanda1812]

its something seeing them swarm like that

[@chrisstad]

Hello JP, I have a question regarding the queen cells. If a hive doesn't have a queen anymore, who is laying the egg to make a new queen? Do the bees just take an egg that was laid (or a larva) earlier and put it in a queen cell and then feed it royal jelly , or can a worker lay an egg and just feeding it royal jelly is enough to create a new queen?

[@ChiefHamza]

Do you keep all the swarms/hives you catch/find or do you sale some. Also I’m moving to Alabama and wanted to know how can I find and or catch swarms in the area.

[@julieenslow5915]

I think it is a ligustrum - I had a bush like it that became a tree. PS Great video - now be sweet to your new girlfriends, ya' hear?

[@JPthebeeman]

Always! I believe it may be a Ficus tree. The leaves look identical to me.

[@julieenslow5915]

@@JPthebeeman Agreed. I believe there are a lot of varieties though, and I can't help any beyond Ficus!

[@mskipling5655]

@@JPthebeeman to me it’s looks like what we in the U.K. call a privet hedge, it’s got very over grown though. 🐰

[@JPthebeeman]

@@mskipling5655 I have privet & ligustrum at my home. Ligustrum is pretty much domesticated privet in my book. I have ligustrum hedges & trees. They bloom sometimes twice a year, the bees love em & produce good honey from ligustrum. I even like privet honey but have friends who don’t care for it, to each his own I suppose. 👍🐝

[@jamesbsa6450]

I second the Lingustrum, the ficus I have seem tend to have longer dropping leaves, but I'm no expert. This looks identical to my Lingustrum leaves and branching. Congrats on the great catch and thanks for sharing!

Had a swarm call two days ago about that size. I put them in a 5 frame NUC caged the Queen and told homeowner I would be back at dark to pick them up. He called me back 45 mins later and there were twice as many bees! NUC was covered and full! I had to put them in a deep. Central NC

[@mojo6016]

What’s a “deep”?

[@JPthebeeman]

A large Langstroth, stackable bee box, usually 10 frame hive box, some are 8 framers.

[@timsanders6605]

It’s a brood box usually the bottom section or sections of bee hives. Brood boxes are typically deeper than a honey super or medium box.
