Bees Fly Free At Air Bee N Bee!

Bees Fly Free At Air Bee N Bee!
In this video I remove bees from a bird house on location & transfer them into a "Nuc" or rather Nucleus hive, a 5 frame beehive.
In most states, Louisiana included, it is illegal to keep bees in any type of set up that does not have removable frames. Naturally, this beehive had to be transferred into standard beekeeping equipment with removable frames.
I had permission from the home owner to do whatever I desired with the bird house.
Hopefully this explanation of things will give you insight as to why I did what I did.
The bees were & still are a very gentle bee colony. They were given a new queen & currently reside in Gonzales, Louisiana.

JP - I caught my first swarm ever yesterday. Without all you guys on youtube sharing your knowledge I'd be like all the other people walking down the sidewalk and just walk around it or crossed the street to the other side to avoid the bees. Well, yesterday I walked amongst them with no fear with the knowledge I have gained from all you youtube posters. All I had was a 5-gallon bucket a painters pole and a cardboard box. I ended up going home with freebees get it freebie lol.... Keep up the good work

[@williamholloway2564]

You're the best of all the Bee people. Barnyard Bees is informative as well. Nobody does it like JP though. That line, Air Bee and Bee is what epitomizes this great channel.

Those bees sure make it hard to demolish a birdhouse gently!!! Randy, Yappy, Mr Ed, and you are too blame for my very first swarm capture yesterday and the ensuing work i have to get done in short order to begin my journey into a new hobby. My friend has volunteered and has been helping me get started and be a personal coach. Its been a good week. Thanks

We hate things and show fear because we dont know anything about them except "They Bite/Sting and theres a lot of them!" Learning how they function and how they communicate, what makes them upset and what they like, definitely gives you new views on the world Edit: Im surprised no "Birds and the Bees" Joke was made lol Loved the video and ima go check out the other two bee keepers

[@climberman4342]

1. Thank you for this clip. 2. as you saw eggs with first day age, that is mean there is a queen. 3. the best method for transferring the swarm is to put an empty box on the buird box's place then start transfer and arrange the frames , you'll prevent the worker bees to be confused and keep the foster bees under control, then put the frames in the upper box, wait until after sunset and get your new hive.

JP, if the queen ain't there and even if you took out all the queen cells for the royal jelly thats fine. As long as the brood cells that you repatriated back to a better casa contain freshly laid eggs. My friend you're golden. By the way, royal jelly is good for ya. For people with heart condition, blood disorders to folks with weak immune system or digestive issues. Hence the reason up here in Commiefornia folks from Asia, primarily Japan and China try to buy the thing in bulk and HiHo it back to their respective country.

[@JPthebeeman]

There were no worker eggs for them to make a new queen. My take on supplements is if the body needs them it will utilize them. I may be one of few who actually like royal jelly, idk. Heck, I love durian! So there you go. 🤘☺️🐝
