Bees Moved Into Shed Wall, Then This Happened...

Rickey recently started keeping bees & when a swarm moved into a shed wall on family property he called me to get them out & place them into his beekeeping equipment so he could add this colony to his apiary.
In this video we did just that.
It was a bit of a pain accessing the wall void the bees occupied but thank goodness they hadn't been there that long (like, the day before!)
About a week later I went by Rickey's place to inspect the colony's progress & give the viewers of my youtube channel an update.
The queen was laying & the bees were making honey. I found the hive to be moving right along.
Onto the next one...

This morning, my brother told me that he also watches your channel. He said that now my niece wants to keep bees! Thanks for inspiring all of us.🐝

Y'all are a joke I came without tools do you have no idea of what you're doing

[@driiifter]

Rickey couldn't have a better teacher and guide! Outta sight!

[@lagrangebees]

The Bees moved in, so U-Haul(ed) em out! ... BADUM-TSS 🥁

[@crocheting-around-the-planet]

Due to the time difference Mr JP, I always miss your upload notification(I live in Yorkshire UK) First thing I did was watch your video, thoroughly loving the content… I have now had my 🐝 vitamin for the day…😄 Thank You 💛

[@JPthebeeman]

Always start each day with 🐝 vitamins. 😉✌️🐝

[@cecoya]

Hope that you are feeling better JP since last time. These girls were very busy for only moving in for less than a day. Very nice swarm the Queen was a bit feisty but turns out to be a very good one. Have a great day. Good luck Rickey with you ventures in bee keeping

[@scribbleknit]

Thanks for another great video. I had the privilege of going to a local farm that is open to the public and see their bees. They had a section behind plexiglass so you could see the activity in the hive. I was able to explain so much to some of the children there. Thanks to you and your videos, I could point out the drones, the worker bees and point out the cells that had honey and the cells that had been capped over and had larva!

[@Thetis058]

Ricky has a great teacher. I hope Ricky noticed how gentle you are with the bees and how the bees respond by staying calm themselves. Another great video .

[@brentworls8509]

Seeing bears never gets old. Like catching swarms, it's always fascinating.

[@amyjesko9434]

Giving credit where credit is due!!! You are THE ONLY ONE to tell people that honey bees are not native to our country. I care , because it’s important so we can understand all parts of honeybees being here❤️

[@emrsdca]

That sure was a purdy Queen wasn't she? 👑

[@mikintil]

every now and then I check back to see what my brother JP is up to. Hope your well man, always entertaining

[@thecrosskids717]

Way to go, JP 😊. Another great catch. That was a pretty nice cluster and exciting to watch. Thanks for another fine day for the bees😊

[@zetectic7968]

That entrance is too small - got to create a traffic jam & limit ventilation. Well done JP on capturing the queen.😀

[@jonlonglastname]

Always love your approach. Like watching a magician that is making a comic book with accents.

I love that bees basically "twerk" to signal it's safe to enter the box lol

Ricky had amazing luck to be able to get his bees taken care of and get valuable info from a master.

[@andresl1244]

Bees love those sheds, never ever they forget the sheds. I always see the first target are the sheds.

[@JPthebeeman]

I actually get more calls for bees between floors of two story houses than anything. They’re usually tough to video but I’m working on that.

[@user-hw3yy5ge4n]

Thank you for your service. Hope you had a good Memorial Day

[@swango2011]

Good luck Ricky! I love your videos, JP. Top notch editing and educational dialog. Thanks for filming and sharing. 👍

[@petehafner1659]

Good to see you back making videos. I have been in touch with some local bee keepers in hopes of getting involved. You have been such an inspiration. Keep up the wonderful job you're doing.

hey JP, i watched your vids many years ago and i loved them so much! ive been breeding and taking care of bees in minecraft, and the other day it reminded me of you. i came back to the channel and i am so happy to see you're still making videos!! my boyfriend and i have been watching them before bed 😁 hes very interested in it.

What an amazing experience! Thanks JP, for all your help and advice!

[@williamwinsor7376]

He’s giving them more room than they need. He should have just the deep and then add the other in about a month but no harm done. I can tell he’s going to take care of them and likes what is going on.

[@JPthebeeman]

Yep, I mentioned that in the video too.

[@livefree810]

Wow J P THAT MADE ME DIZZY LOL LOVE LOVE SEEING YOU AGAIN YOUR MY BEE MAN ,,

[@weeyin64]

Great day catching bees. Loved the Peggy Sue joke, made me giggle.

[@SchoonieChiefsrule]

That was one of the coolest catches that I have seen you have

[@smashleybreaks]

JP the hunter man 😂 Ricky has a great teacher. Since watching your videos I've really considered keeping bees sometime in the near future. Hope you been feeling better lately Mr JP.

[@proudgrandma138]

Ricky has some nice boxes! This was a great video, no fast clips that are like pix. Very enjoyable video to watch TY. Btw, The way i do it is, I remove a few frames, put the bees in & put the lid on. Theres room for all of them. after they start going onto the frames I add the frames back & put the lid on. Puts 95% in at one time.

[@cherylcarnes4207]

Toodaloo! Thanks J.P. and Rickey, love it and keep up the good work. See ya soon.

[@twindiggersminnesotapamandpat]

JP, another awesome bee removal and rehoming. They were very gentle. It amazes me how they gather and create interesting comb formations. Great video.👍👏😀

[@lucianamiqueo7577]

Wow, JP! I've learned so much about bees watching your videos! I'd absolutely love to keep bees, but I live in a big city in Spain and that's kind of impossible for me. I do enjoy spotting bees here and there and now I'm not scared of them anymore. I approach them respectfully and watch them buzz about whenever I see them. What I do to help the bees is talk to my children about them (I work in an elementary school) and tell them how we should not fear them, but protect them. I pass along a lot of the information I learnt from you and hopefully we'll have some passionate beekeepers in the future. Thanks for all you do!

[@JPthebeeman]

If you don’t think you have enough space to keep bees in the city, keep in mind that there are plenty beekeepers who keep bees on flat rooftops, in New York for example. My wife is Cuban & from New York, Long Island, Long Beach btw. ✌️🐝✌️

[@paulcoulter7181]

HEY JP Have you seen the latest video that dirt rooster posted. Those bees were completely insane.this hive you have to remove is a dream hive.

[@JPthebeeman]

If it’s the one he removed in late February with the bucket bee vac guy, yes. I believe a big part of their demeanor was “when,” they were removed. Could be genetics but I’m thinking perhaps it just wasn’t a good time to remove them. I’ll have to ask Dirt if they calmed down once domesticated. Things were pretty intense in that video. Trust me, I’ve been there & it ain’t pretty. ✌️🐝

[@paulcoulter7181]

@@JPthebeeman me personally, I think it was too cold, and the bees got pissy about it. It could have even been a cloudy day. We all know bees do not like to be messed with when it’s cloudy.

Always good to see you Beeman! It's funny, but when I was young, bees terrified me. I was one of those people who would have ONE bee buzz me and I was running like hell. LOL! Now, as a "Mature" woman, I've really gotten over that. Since I started watching your videos and learned so much from you, I have no fear at all anymore. Do you have any suggestions for getting rid of Carpenter Bees? My cabin in Upstate NY has become infested in the past 4 or 5 years. We've tried everything, but each Summer there are more and more. Help!

[@davidjoseph3188]

You still got to be careful how do you know if they are not killer bees 🤔 you could be walking into anything love from London 🇬🇧

[@JPthebeeman]

You don’t know 100% for certain unless a lab does a DNA analysis but I can tell you the initial phone call would give me definitive clues I was dealing with extremely aggressive bees. This colony had literally moved in the day before, so they were a swarm the day before & 99% of the time swarms are usually gentle. There are situations when swarms will even light you up like there’s no tomorrow but that’s a discussion for another time. ✌️🐝✌️

[@daveco1270]

JP would make a great mentor. What are the bees doing when they've got their head shoved down in one of the combs?

[@SylantBill]

As I watch you use your hive tool I'm thinking a feed scoop I use for my chickens may work better to scoop them up.

[@deborahhughes3868]

i didn't hear the strange reaction. What was it? I will turn bright red and will get really tired and if I go all day, then will sleep for 12 hours. If not, a short nap is 4 hours.

[@JPthebeeman]

He said he got stung by the new colony & had an adverse reaction with a good bit of swelling. Ricky was stung by another of his colonies & had little swelling, so he waited a few days & purposely stung himself again from a bee from the new colony & again had another adverse reaction, mainly swelling.
