Beehive In Old Shed Has 2 Queens

Beehive In Old Shed Had 2 Queens
This old building was in really bad shape, literally falling apart. Lots of rot, termite damage, part of the roof caved in etc...
Couldn't be torn down because bees were living in one of the wall voids adjacent to an old bathroom.
A friend of mine, Darcy Jones lended me a hand on this removal & the bees wound up going to her.
Ms. Donleen, the home owner is a very cool lady who I've done bee work for before. Darcy & I were happy to help her out with this project, good times all around.
Ordinarily, I don't do that many bee removals during the winter unless the bees have to go & always remove them during a warm up period. The colony had to go & we were definitely in a warm up period in December nonetheless!
If you enjoy my channel & the videos please consider subscribing & tell your friends & family about the channel, really appreciate that!
Hope you're having a great day because you know I am!

Wow haircut and beard grooming took 15 years off☺ great job with the bees!!!

He did lose weight good change for him

JP with a haircut. How handsome you are! The bee videos are very relaxing.

[@adde9506]

I like Miss Donleen. Just lettin' the bees have the shed cause they're not hurtin' anyone.

Boy that was a fun one. Thankfully no ladder required. Nice to have an eager helper on the job.

You looked 10 years older than you are. Now! . Wow!!! Looking great

[@JPthebeeman]

This is actually a video of a removal I did about 5 years ago. I do happen to mention that in the video description but don’t feel bad, you’re not the only one who assumed it was a more recent video. I’ve had some medical issues I won’t get into right now that has made my weight fluctuate (mostly upwards) over the years but I’m trying my darndest to alleviate that & get back to a more appropriate weight. Getting older definitely has some pluses but physically things just start taking a toll on you. I had been wanting to make this video for a while & finally had the chance to put it out there, didn’t mean to shock anyone, Lol.

[@orlandopokey03]

@JPthebeeman Glad to see you posting again. Was getting a little worried since the last update I saw was the note about you being under the weather with hospital visits and the like. Hello from Eastern Canada, where the bees are still tucked away warm for a little while yet!

[@decoysheep2023]

Those bees and i are about the same level of chill after some smoke

[@lindafox7822]

It would be like hunting for a needle in a haystack for me! They look alike !

[@janmyersknight6110]

You look terrific!! Great bee removal!! 🙏☘️❤️

[@phillee2814]

You gonna have to educate those bees and have them catch up on their reading, JP, so they know how many queens to keep around and how to behave around the smoker before you give them back! :-) On a more serious note, in a lecture at the UK National Honey Show, given by an academic I can't remember, it was pointed out that everyone always stops looking once they've found "the" queen, so not many people realise it's actually more common to have more than one than most beekeepers suspect. This academic had his grad students keep on looking, and found that 7% of hives had multiple queens at any given time. Some may have been supercedures in progress, others due to a swarm being delayed so a new queen emerges before the old one leaves, but many appeared to be perfectly stable, and a few even had more than two.

[@Nirrrina]

Interesting. I'd have liked to have seen that lecture. Thanks for the info.

[@phillee2814]

@@Nirrrina The UK National Honey show has its own channel here on YT, and many lectures are on there, I haven't seen any that aren't worth a watch, and even if it takes a while to work through them, it is well worthwhile. So you can still see that lecture if you want to badly enough to sit through a lot of very fascinating hours of academic and practical research into all the aspects of honey bee biology, behaviour, pathology, management and so on to find the right bit.
