Bees and Queen March Into HIve on Swarm Call - 4-22-18

Here's the extended video of all the footage I took of a swarm moving into my hive almost immediately after I placed it on the table.

I love watching the way the bee's all work together! The Bee 🐝 hive handler's do an amazing job.

[@bradgoliphant]

I never get tired watching that. So amazing how they march as one. Thats a lot of bees for that small box by the way. ha. Thanks for the video

[@pmac5621]

Epic footage!

[@bradgoliphant]

See them fanning with their butts up in the air? There is a small pheromone on the tip of their rear that tells the others "this is home."

[@backyardbeebuilder5666]

This is a fun video to watch! Thanks for sharing!

[@ChaosMagnet]

Curtain of bees, hanging off the table edge. Astonishing, how they can do that!

[@YB-PC-BYourself]

Nice swarm size and the queen loved the "Pat Palace"!

[@TheBeeRescuer]

Kenneth Blair - yes sir, they are doing very well right now at the moment. I have given them some extra supplies to shore them up and keep them in place, LOL.

[@hendrikerinci4032]

Wooow....i really like see the queen walk into the box.nice vidio

[@kareneaton3395]

So COOL! Great shot from under the glass table. Thank you for all your videos. I really enjoy them Patrick.

[@TheBeeRescuer]

Karen Eaton - thanks so much for taking the time to watch and comment! There are so many other options people could be doing at this point with television and all the things on the internet and even reading books and jobs/chores. So I appreciate you taking the time to watch this.

Gosh, I know that was exciting for you. It was cool seeing that they approved of your real estate. Did you know how long they’d waited for the scouts to find a place? I read that it can take 1-2 days before they move into a new home. How close to the swarm had you put the box? Sorry to ask these questions two years after you posted. I just started watching honeybee videos a few days ago.

[@adrinwoods4567]

Queen bee:I like it is new home.

[@Makermook]

I don't know if it has something to do with the video frame rate or something, but it looks like a lot of the bees are beating their wings in unison.

[@CopiousDoinksLLC]

It's got to do with the camera's shutter speed. The bees beat their wings at a faster rate than the camera can record and the camera only records a single frame every 1/60 of a second, so that means that the bees' wings will either appear to be open or closed in unison on that single frame.

"I'll shut up and let you enjoy the video you don't need my commentary" but... I like your commentary 🥺

[@billysbees3521]

Fantastic video!

[@lisawilliams7836]

Lovely video, thank you very much 😊

[@Darthbelal]

Would it be beneficial to have some sugar water nearby to start the colony off right? Oh, and getting a wild swarm of bees to your hive is something money can't buy. It's one of those accomplishments that would make one feel so good and the effort involved just pays off......

[@RuralmoneyOfficial]

Wow! That was fascinating.

[@stacyadams112]

That was fantastic!!

[@danyman7456]

Nice video man, best wishes from IRAQ.

[@FUBBA]

at the end with all the dead bees did some get trampled in the migration process?

[@lindagray5857]

Was there more than one queen? I have had three in a swarm before. I never tire of seeing this.

[@graemesdrumprogress189]

Only one this time.

[@Mhalnami]

You rock 👍🏻

[@Makermook]

What induced them to enter the hive box if the queen was outside?

[@TheBeeRescuer]

There were former bee smells in that hive, and they took to it immediately.

[@chucksix6231]

💡 God's creatures are amazing ❗ 👍😳👍

[@lifepiece9551]

Thanks

[@toomanyminds1212]

Nice! Approximately how many pounds do you think were there?

[@TheBeeRescuer]

Too Many Minds - 4-6 lbs? Maybe 7? Lolol. I'm bad at bee weight.

[@RaySarasin]

Bet there is more than 1 queen look good I bet 2 or 3 queens there ??

[@eacjones]

Is this considered a large swarm? Nice video! Seems like a large swarm!

[@graemesdrumprogress189]

Yes, for Florida, it truly is.

[@beeornottobee4507]

Great video. Hi from Belarus bee's forests!In our apiary, a big problem is the tits in winter, which disturb the bees. These tits lure the bees out of the hives to feast on! We put boards or pine branches to close the entrances from birds. Do you have birds problem?

[@TheBeeRescuer]

I don't have any bird problems here in Lakeland, Florida. But there could be problems in other parts of the state or the country. That's a shame you are having to deal with that.

[@brucemorris6319]

Cool. Follow the leader ladies.

[@haihungn.n573]

What's the name of this bee

[@TheBeeRescuer]

Apis melifera. European honeybee.

[@ExplorerECC]

Nice

[@keithmcfaul9204]

Your camera skills leaves a lot to be desired. Being as close as you are to the bees you are moving the camera way too fast which makes it a blur.

[@shakk77lewis67]

A bee I asked a question(queen) one time. How did the yellow get in the color? They told me it was the sun. How- I know the answer; anyone else??? What I knew already was the black in a bee was slavery," millions of black people used for someone else to have money! ?" They, someone; told me Puerto ricans made bees. SO, how the fuck do you say broke in Spanish ? Mi no habla Me no, habla(speak) I had Spanish in 5th grade, 1 day, 2 days, then my Spanish teacher died from an asthma attack. English please. I heard a bee was God! I know God to be air! XOXO, shalimar O; their are no children in bees, nothing but adults; why?
