I've been keeping bees in Arizona for 3 years and this level of aggression is very common here. Most of my hives aren't this bad but it is always just a matter of time before a hive swarms and the new queen transforms the hive into this. I have a hive right now that is worse than this one. I wouldn't dream of going near it without a full body suit that has 2 layers of gloves, heavy boots and the legs and sleeves duct taped down before even approaching. (not just a top half of the body suit like in this video) I tell you what they are honey making fools though! I pulled 4 gallons off of it 3 weeks ago and put the wet frames back in and they are full again! They are so aggressive that the only way to keep them is miles out away from all residential areas. and then when I'm all packed up and ready to leave the area I have a route that I have to run through the hanging branches of mesquite trees to get ahead of enough of them that I can run up to the door of my vehicle, open it, jump in and slam it closed (still suited up of course) and this limits the number of bees that get inside to about 50. Thousands of others quickly gather outside the windows and try to get in. Then you have to drive off faster than they can fly for about a mile or more down the desert dirt road. Then I can get out and open all the doors and wait for about 10 min. all but about 15 to 20 lose interest in me at that point and leave looking for how to get back to their hive I guess. The rest I have to slowly hunt down and kill before I can take off the suit and drive home. It's a pain in the neck but most of the time I avoid any stings at all with this routine. I've been dreading the inevitable task of attempting to re-queen them. They are so bad that they will reject any new docile queen and kill her, opting instead to make many queen cells to re-queen themselves because they see new docile queens as weak genetics. The only way to succeed is to meticulously hunt down every queen cell for many days after killing the queen (if you're lucky enough to spot her among the onslaught of the attack making your hood screen so thick with bees you can hardly see out) then leave them queenless for weeks until they are so desperate that they will finally accept a new queen. Welcome to bee keeping in Arizona!

To be clear. - I fully support your decision to "euthanize" this hive. I love bees, but this level of aggression is very dangerous. My hive is a hazard if anyone were able to get into the locked off area where my crazy aggressive hive is. After watching this video, I realize even more that it is past time to address my own hazardous hive. Thanks!

I am so glad you shared this account. What you described is how they kept bees in the various places in Africa that I visited. The gearing up, working bees at night, having to retreat from the hive, and then drive away in a suit, and then get out and shoo any remaining bees out of the vehicle after time. That is probably the scenario required for suitable remediation to let this hive exist in a natural setting. We simply do not have many places like that here in NJ (locked up yards that are miles away from residential areas). I know I personally did not have access to any that I would have been comfortable to drop off this hive. We live in different places. Where you are this occurs in nature. Where we are this is not tolerated and it does not have to be. I do not wish to put words in anyone's mouth but beekeepers who see docile bees (like my friends in Africa) have often conveyed that they would simply love to work bees as we do. They are envious of us not having to suit up and get stung and deal with the issues of aggressive bees in their neighborhoods. Thanks for the insights. > Kevin Inglin

@@lilblondiebear It's not necessarily naive to hope that, but we don't know either way, and I guess there's not much point praying about something that has already happened. There is a lot of horrible things that happen in the world. This is because mankind has fallen into a state of sin and misery because of the sin of our first father Adam, and God's subsequent curse on the world as a judgement on mankind. But, praise God, he is also rich in mercy, and has punished his Son Jesus Christ for the sins of all those who would put their trust in him, so that those who trust in him can have a restored relationship with their maker!!! And maybe that little child was being spared from experiencing something even worse later in life for all we know! But your priority is to study the Scriptures to make SURE that you have a right understanding of the way of salvation through faith in Christ, and so have been forgiven by him because of Christ's sacrifice. And finally, be very careful about how you use the name of God. The third commandment forbids using the name of God lightly, or as an exclamation in speech. Every blessing, Jonathan

It was my first times being stung by bees. He told me “they don’t like black (the color of pants I was wearing.) Very lucky i wasn’t allergic although the last few stings caused bigger welts than the first ones so im wary of getting stung again. Anyway, I think he had no idea what he was doing keeping those bees and I hope he stopped attempting it. He was a nice widower old man who lived alone and I think he was just happy to be talking to someone about his hobby but I hope he learned his lesson.

I can understand why you had to do that. I had honeybees take residence in my roof soffit in South Florida. Had a professional remove the hive. They weren't really aggressive and he vacumned up the workers to acclimate them to his own hives, and removed the combs. I did the best I could to seal up the soffit, but unfortunately, the pheromones left by the hive attracted a new colony which might have been Africanized. You couldn't even go into the bathroom which had a window near the entrance, because they'd attack the screen. Much more aggressive.

There was no other option here. The bees were extremely aggressive to the point they would have likely attempted to kill the Queen if any Queen cells ended up being left over (not that I doubt you'd miss any survivors), and could have possibly spread whatever was causing them to be so aggressive to the nearby hives via literally taking them over. It's a very unfortunate situation, and I hope your hives are still doing well, three years on.

just caught a wild hive last week. The had settled in a small walnut tree out on a limb, about a mile from our home. They apparently swarmed and stayed in the tree after swarming, as they had made a lot of comb, and honey with a lot of brood. This was the most docile hive I have ever been around, being wild for past few months. Put them in a box and took them to our home, as it is already early October in Tennessee. I will have to feed them, so there goes a lot of my fall honey harvest from my other hives. Have only had one hive that was somewhat aggressive, but not to the extent yours was. Kept them, did fine with them. They produced a great deal of honey.

Not chemical, this method is actually centuries old. Bees breathe through sphericals. The soapy water blocks those breathing tubes, they lack the capacity to forcefully breathe it out. They suffocate to death. Soap water (not soapy water) in a spray bottle will kills 1000’s of insect species. You can test this yourself by simply putting Dawn liquid soap in a spray bottle, add water, and gently swirl the bottle to mix it. Don’t shake it, just gently swirl and mix.

He'd have us kids wear the veil and come watch. There might have been some time-of-day thing as well? I remember him scooping up handfuls of bees in his bare hands to put them back where he wanted them. We learned the difference between a calm bee, an upset bee, and a surprised bee, and that we should never blame them or be angry at them. These little ladies though? are lunatics. Goodnight, ladies.

Not the "hives" per se that have different levels of aggression... rather the bees... africanized bees are a created spezies, perverted trough experiments and crossbreeding (dont get me wrong im not talking about the original african bee, rather the one created in south america / brazil 1950-60's which we have here now)... while their honey-output is massive, so is their aggression.... In the country that they were created, africa it is possible to keep them in some way since the area is secluded and the amount of people coming in contanct with them is limited... while here in europe / usa if you keep bees your almost always rather close to civilisation. this is where the problem of an extremely aggressive bee comes into play...

My brother on Great Barrier Island in New Zealand keeps African hybrid bees, as do many others there. They groom each other, unlike Italian and German strains, which keeps Varroa at bay. As you approach the hives, you can hear the pitch of the buzzing increase, and more and more bees exit the hive and start buzzing you. If you're going to open the hive for the honey, use duct tape on all joints and openings, such as gloves, suit to boots, zips, around the mask etc. to keep them out. He doesn't bother smoking them, and once the bees are cleared from the extracted frames, and the hive put back together things quieten down. I watched from about 20 metres away, and the occasional bee zipped past me, but wasn't interested. I never knew they could fly that fast, though. The growly, snarly bee hive was quite impressive. It's not anywhere near an urban area.

Thank you for an interesting and thought provoking video. I am an experienced practicing beekeeper with 59 years of experience. I presently live in Cape Town, South Africa and have 6 colonies of Capensis bees. I grew up working with Scutelata in the highvelt. Both of these subspecies are considered aggressive and dangerous, and they are. The level of aggression of this specific colony is due to several compounding factors which although are not immediately obvious, are the conclusive result of inappropriate management techniques. Hybrid bees which carry genes from either of these subspecies may present with exaggerated aggression as is evident from your video. Whatever the source of the parent colony that you were manipulating, you have successfully turned on the "Strike" phenomenon and perpetuated it through trying to normalize the colony by re-queening ! I acknowledge your honesty and bravery in dealing with this situation both on the level of personal and community safety and for sharing it openly on social media. I hope that my input will assist in further understanding bee behaviour, especially of "africanized bees" The history of the hive: "overwintered " and two hives combined. This is a recipe for potential bee conflict. Italian and commercial bees are not as likely to fight themselves or others, but combining different clan bees together is problematic. Not only will they take up agency against one another but take up agency in defense against any and all hive threats. Few of the hive combining procedures suitable for commercial bees are easily workable with Capensis and it is best that combining is not resorted to. There are two compounding phenomena which are obvious. The queen excluder and the identification markings on the hive. The similarity of the markings on the hive body, and its encapsulating visual focus, which is similar to that of markings on wild animals and long-horned cattle cannot be ignored. Bees are incredibly sensitive to all kinds of stimuli, and recognize distance, scent, odour, angle, tempreature, pattern. They probably recognize a deeper distrust of the animal world in their hive because of this "camouflage" ? Bees need to be secure in their colony to be happy and content. Queen excluders need to be used moderately. The brood nest needs to be expanded laterally and the addition of all un-drawn comb is welcomed above the brood nest or alongside it. Only in the situation where the queen is in the first super, can a full brood box with foundation be added below and then then queen exclude must remain in place above the brood nest in the super and all other chambers below must be removed. Generally queens in the laying season use two chambers and the excluder should be placed above the brood and queen and not below. These are helpful conditions to promote hive function and harmony. Remember the queen in a commercial hive tends to migrate laying patterns upward, but in a ferrule colony moves downward as the comb ages and distorts. There is another important extensive discussion about worker bee differentiation function and a further topic of pheromone dispersion and recognition which are also fundamental to "Strike" phenomenon. I am very willing to discuss further and hear any feedback in this respect. Gareth Leyman

Thank you for sharing this. I've been thinking about getting into beekeeping for some time now. I've been around absolutely massive amounts of bees near where I live. The amount where i can hear them from 30ft away, could walk through the trees where they are foraging with my dogs and in a tank top and shorts without incident. Even stop to watch them in the same attire with no problem. Granted being in the presence of bees while they are out foraging isn't the same as invading their tertitory, it never occured to me bees could be that aggressive. You video definitely gave me something to think about before I make my decision. On the other hand I feel like I now have the knowledge that I could deal with the situation if I do decide to get into beekeeping and found myself in a similar situation.

As a bee keeper myself you had no choice but to kill them. Its heart breaking because we love them so much but we also have a responsibility to our neighbors and community around us. I'm sorry for your loss but I agree with your decision. God bless.

That's responsible beekeeping in action. Great video - you present your actions in a very calm way - no histrionics or panic. I like the idea of soapy water, as you say youre going to be able to get the kit back in action (though personally i'd want to get rid of the brood in the frames, would not want those genetics hatching). In the UK I've heard of using petrol/gasoline which is very quick, but then leaves your kit smelling bad for a couple of seasons. Well done.

Wow this is so incredibly interesting, I’ve never seen anything like this. The bees we have are like the normal video you showed, very docile. I can walk around in the garden and stand close to their beehive without getting a single stung. I’ve done it since I’m a small child and you can even let them sit on you. Same with the bumblebees. Only exception is probably the wasp then if you make too much movement or make it scared. But yeah great video!!

@Deutsches Brot - German Bread Calm down. Attachments are a regular part of being human. Just like you care for a cat or a dog, and something needs to happen to them, it's the same situation here. Anyway, he ended up euthanizing them, not sure why you're still reacting in disbelief. He's done the job, and it's okay for him to feel upset about bees he's had to raise.

I can hit a wasp and the won't attack me. She would attack me only if I am trying to kill her. But the bees of my neighbor oh god. His are bad not this bad but they are aggressive. Ours on the other hand are very calm. In fact one of the hives is so calm even in bad weather that I am pretty sure we can work on it without any protection.
@internetenjoyer10443 жыл бұрын
this is me being ignorant but what i'm gathering is that wasps are basically aggressive but moderately so. you're more likely to get stung by a lone wasp if you annoy it but that's it. on the other hand, bees seem to be on or off; either completely docile or the whole hive is swarming you
@rainpooper70883 жыл бұрын
Daniel Prendergast Eh, I‘ve slapped wasps aggressively going after my food around countless times and they never actually attacked. Might be a Middle-European thing, but in my experience, they only really become sting-happy when they think you want to mess with their hive.

I’ve been watching beekeeping videos and seeing calm hives, and these bees gave me goosebumps. They were scary! I think you’re a great beekeeper for killing that hive. Hopefully their evil nature won’t spread anywhere else. You also did great editing. 👍

Thanks for sharing the scary part of bee keeping. I was stung when i was younger and it caused a bit of a phobia that i slowly overcame with research and exposure. Some day i want to keep bees, but i want to be informed of every thing. The more i know, the better i feel. So thanks for showing a worst case scenario.

It's because the worker bees are her offspring. Obviously if the queen is aggressive, her children will be too, as they have her genetics. That's what he means when he says the queen decides the aggressiveness; if the queen is aggressive, the whole hive will be too
