I love your adventurous spirit and your ability to improvise. It's precisely the magic of the swarms that keeps me coming back! 🐝

[@StonewallJackson-n8w]

You are optimistic with only a small nuc box. Happy days from Texas, a swarm came to one of my brood boxes yesterday .

[@time2fly2124]

my usual "every day carry" for swarm season is a pro nuc (sometimes ive got 2) with 3/2 drawn/foundation (i LOVE giving swarms foundation, they draw it so fast), vented jacket, an extendable paint pole with a bucket at the end for those high up swarms, and a 6 foot ladder. also always have branch clippers so i can prune around swarms to make it so they dont go everywhere when i shake branches.

[@derekclawson4236]

Caught two nice swarms this past week. Very exciting!

[@patriciaserdahl5577]

Can't wait to move and have some Bee hives thank you so much for sharing 🐝 😊

[@polycat7670]

So glad to see you working with Justin Rhodes and Abundance +!

[@elsathal7359]

🌻🐝Beautiful ❣️Thank you for sharing ✌️💖🤟✨️🧚‍♂️

[@heavymechanic2]

I found swarm cells in two hives already and some nuc boxes booming. Pay attention and equalize before losing your honey crop.

[@Maranatha_Homestead]

I would definitely like to know how to build three swarm traps out of one piece of plywood. Thanks Kaylee!!

[@alecjaquez9194]

If you plan it good you may be able to make few swarm traps… there is a video on U2 that they tell you that he proper size of the trap.. look for Cornel University NY about wild honey bee 🐝

[@josephleyva7471]

Thank you Kaylee. Shalom

[@jessicafairfax_Bens_Bees]

Thanks for sharing Kaylee 👍😁🐝 your past videos on swarms inspired me to go out and catch swarms myself. I even got your "Catching feelings" T-shirt. Thanks for all you do. Can't wait for my new T-shirts to come in.

My daughter bought a home with bees in the living room wall, and she had a company come out and capture the hive, then cleaned and repaired the wall. Then she discovered there was a hive in the ancient pepper tree in the backyard, so she had that hive captured and removed. The company told her to fill the cavity in the tree with construction foam, which she did, and a month later bees are drilling into the foam and setting up another hive. Fortunately they are not aggressive, but her neighbor over the back fence likes to complain that she still has bees showing up on her side of the fence! LOL! I wonder if my daughter should just put a hive box out there so she can at least keep them healthy and harvest honey?

[@heavymechanic2]

If the swarms are native bees, those are different from typical honeybees (most likely German). Your daughter could put up a swarm trap to collect the bees for easy removal.. If the bees came from a managed hive, you are good on making honey as those bees would be easy to work with.. last summer, I had yellow jackets in my wall but not from my beehives.

Caught my first swarm of the season. They landed right in the middle of a blackberry patch. Did I let that stop me? Heck no!

[@Angelchakra]

That’s dedication! 😅

[@servantoftruth8392]

Talking about Catchin feelings...Pretty...Amazing. You took the words straight out of...me. I love you y'all.

[@diannemiller4754]

Thanks for sharing your swarm catching supplies 😊 It was so exciting to see you helping Rebecca and family set up their hive. 😊

[@TheHoneystead]

That was such a fun workshop 🐝

[@watsonrk1]

Caught my 5th two days ago, Southeast Virginia, Tidewater Area. Never leave home without a Pro Nuk box, bee suit, smoker, 6' ladder, bee broom, and queen cage. Can you give dimensions on the hive stands? Like you, caught a swarm in a trap, put them at all your friends houses. Typically, i catch 3-5 a year in 3 traps and normally, not from my colonies.

[@cheryl8913]

❤❤

[@jessicaoxford8718]

I’d love to see you build a swarm trap that’s awesome! All your videos are so helpful and i appreciate you! ❤🐝

[@TimBeverly]

Well, Miss MacGyver... Sometime you have to do what a beekeeper has to do. "Think outside the hive box." And that sounds like a new shirt. Have a great day and wonderful weekend. ❤U

[@HeatherNaturaly]

All my bee equipment needs replacing. It's been sitting empty for 8 years and dry rot has set in. All the wood frames are disintegrating and the boxes too. *sigh I paid $300 for that hive and never got to use it.

[@garyRt23Bees]

You need to use a scion. it would keep you from loosing any of your bees

[@marcfickett286]

Good to see you made it home safe from the Rhode's homestead.

[@dcsblessedbees]

She is 🤩it must be 🐝season.👏 You realize you get the bee buzz hard right. I know you love raising all the animals and gardening/foraging+liberalism but you 🥰LOVE😍 beekeeping.😂

[@andrewhammill6148]

A pineapple, duct tape and a paper clip - - I can do anything. 😂. I would suggest, to add some banding strap to your McGiver kit. 😎

[@rooteddinfaithjourney]

Kaylee..Have you heard of BeeBread..I am looking to make some..your thoughts..making your own or buying some on etsy..your thought..for those that do Not have bees..Patricia

[@angelaabbas1526]

I wonder if you could do a class for school of traditional skills?

[@jamesjessee4064]

👍🙋‍♂️❤️

[@heathboeddeker5401]

🐝 Come on Mom Catch me if ya can 🐝 🐝 . ..😊 Mrs. Honeystead

[@homeygardener]

The last one I saw you did was with your Mom. How is she?

[@joelabc]

Howdy 🤠

[@kevindecoteau3186]

So there will be different host doing videos?

[@Swarmstead]

Swarm snipers. 🙄

[@TheHoneystead]

Ohh yes!!! I forgot to add that too

[@Swarmstead]

​@@TheHoneysteadI meant the "sniper" that grabs a swarm before you can get there. 😆 Pruners are definitely helpful, but I can never find them when I need them.

[@jwaltsmusic]

Love watching and learning from you. I keep saying I’m going to get bees. Maybe soon…
