I had a big swarm hanging from the eave of my house. A bee keeper came and used a long feather and brushed them into a cardboard box. A big ball of them dropped to the ground like an apple falling from a tree. So neat to watch them.

I cought 1 swarm this year but with all my friends are scared of bees and cannot help me for this reason. After getting one I am thinking I will count on splits and leave the swarms to the younger ppl. I got my bees late this spring and split it 2 times this year. I run 10 frame deep boxes and found I can split in early 2 frames with 1 honey frame, now feed them both pollon patties and sugar water, and they will grow from that. So splits are my thing its easier then swarms my 2 cents after trying it cheers. I now sit at 3 hives for winter but look out next year end of Aplil I plan 4 more 5 frame nukes then split them in July again cheers and thanks for all your help

That second swarm was so large, your standards, I'm surprised you didn't add another deep to it immediately, after all, they did almost fill that brood frame......at least one side of it. After thinking about it, you probably didn't add that second deep super because all you probably had was more of those nice moldy frames. I will give this to you though, you raise some might hardy bees, if they can survive in your bee yard, they can survive anywhere. I almost hit 41 swarms today, lucky for you they took off an hour before I showed up. God's peace brother.

Great Video Dirt Rooster. When you were talking about getting stung by the bees for someone reason you triggered a memory of an old cartoon character I used to watch. He would have said something like this.. " We don't need no. I say we don't need to bee suit son! You have to out smart the bees. Use the old gray matter to avoid getting stung." If you haven't guessed. It was Foghorn Leghorn. Lol Idk why I thought of that but I started laughing. Have a great one brother. Keep up that great work

Hey Randy how is that vsh queen you ordered in January working out for you?? I'm wondering if she is worth the money you paid for her? Have you checked your varroa counts in her colony? Was it remarkably lower than any of the others? The reason I ask is I'm thinking of getting one or 2 for my hives but don't want to come off that kind of money for nothing ( or very little help for my girls). I've had a lot of problems this year ( newbee, and I'm at fault for most all of them) but I'd hate to lose my hives from varroa. If they work as well as the apiary you got her from states I definitely want at least one. Please let me know

It's the light. The bees "invading" your house are likely bees that have already made it home (if they were out foraging). Often bees will hang out on the side or top of their home, much like people will go sit on a porch or patio. They see light and momentarily become confused and leave their perch and fly towards the light the way a lot of insects do. One thing you could try would be keeping that light off as much as possible, also closing curtains or blinds in the evenings. Obviously, the ultimate solution would be to move the hive away from your place and the lights. If there are no human-built and placed hives nearby, then I would suggest that you have a colony of honeybees nearby that have made either a natural shelter in a tree or some structure, or have found their way into a man-made structure nearby your lights and home. If it's the case that a colony has taken up residence nearby, then you might want to consider finding them and either removing them yourself, or perhaps asking a professional to size up the situation, possibly give an estimate if there is work to be done.

@@Liadara it is possible that those bees threw a swarm off and now there is an active hive. That or they are setting the pollination hive real close to your house. Go get some equipment and set out and catch those swarms. Thats payback for those ole girls invading your space!!!!!!!🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔 get some low voltage lighting and place a distance from your house. That will maybe keep them from your house. At night around a light all bees are mad.

Your wife mentioned a sherpa which technically you could have one. A sherpa is generally the native people who live around Mt. Everest. They are those small gentleman you see carry hundreds of pounds of gear and you don't understand how it's possible for them to carry that weight. So you could have a bee sherpa who carries the heavy boxes up the ladder and down as well as stairs in people's houses. Cheers!!!

Those things promote bad husbandry. People expect to just turn the tap and get honey, and never learn to inspect the brood or check for parasites and diseases, or even swarm cells - the first thing they know of their bees having a problem is when they turn the tap and no honey comes out. 😡

I've seen beekeepers use a smoker to calm the bees. Do you or any others use smoke to capture bees, ( when they're in an outside setting?) Also what does it mean when a queen is piping?

A swarm is looking for a place to build a colony, and modern beehives are designed to be as close as possible to an ideal bee habitat -- better than generally found in nature. So the swarm gets dropped on the box, goes in, is pleased with the amenities ... and once the queen is in, they're home. You keep them closed in 48 hours to start them committing to the hive by laying comb (also to get used to their new queen if you gave them one).

He's not wrong, or contradicting himself. Swarms won't go after anybody in any kind of mass colony defence, because they don't have a hive or brood to protect. The stings DR is getting probably come from accidentally squeezing individual bees as he's handling the swarm -- this is not a hazard to onlookers, only to people who stick their hands in.

As far as a sherpa goes, they haul all that gear up on Mt. Everest., and the dead bodies and trash down. But the word "Sherpa" originally meant "people from the East" and is pronounced "shar-wa" by the Sherpa themselves. Before mountain climbing became a popular pastime in the Himalayas, the word Sherpa simply denoted a group of people who migrated to Nepal from Eastern Tibet.
