"FREE" BEES Just Gotta Catch 'em | Spring Swarm Season

[@fallenangelwi25]

We're so excited as we just got our first hive for free from a tree company that cut a dead tree down with a hive in it ❤️🐝❤️. The queen passed later on from the tree falling but we have 4 queen cells 2 already hatched and things are looking great!!!!

[@1870s]

Oh that's awesome! They will make news queens pretty easy, so long as they still have eggs or very very small larve.

[@fallenangelwi25]

@@1870s yep that's what they're doing currently we're so excited and happy we could save them

[@marcidevries5515]

I keep trying to talk my husband into bees, and he keeps pointing at the maple syrup. Ah well!

[@willow8094]

It's been beautiful out but now they say snow on Monday ! What a week it's been but it's not over yet for me

[@SouthernBlessedHomestead]

Love those Bee catching boxes. I would love to have Bees.

[@sallychail4208]

I'm looking forward to your video on how your bees did!

[@mariagarcia-po6kl]

Hi. Todd. I hope this year you get some honey. Why didn't you try having it on the ground. God Bless you. Your bees are in Gods hand now. Be safe. 💁🖐️💁🖐️💁🖐️💁🖐️💁🖐️💁🖐️👍👍👍👍👍🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷The flowers are for Rachel. Take good care of yourselves. Maria.

[@1870s]

For bait hives like this, you totally could just keep it on the ground. Overtime people realized bees like to look for new homes up a little higher though, so that's why they're in trees.

Around here in Bethlehem, Pa. A sign of spring is when you see a robin in your yard or somewhere. I seen my first one yesterday.

[@luvntender1180]

I’m from Easton. Tomorrow will really feel like springtime

[@meinschatz26]

Oh my gosh! My heart skipped a beat when you nearly fell off the ladder. Lucky you didn’t hurt yourself. Looking forward to the post winter bee wrap up. They are such fascinating creatures. We have some really cool ones here with iridescent blue/green stripes.

[@DebbiesHomeplace]

Awesome Todd, hope you catch a few swarms.

[@FieldFarmForest]

I just got my swarm trap. I’ll need to find a good spot for it. We still have snow here in the UP but it’s raining today so it should be gone fast. Thanks for sharing. ☮️-Kirsten

[@sardar5150]

I'm putting up my box 4/10. Bees seem to swarm mid to late April. My style of hive is Layens now.

[@Lsmith-ly2cm]

That was a teaser about if your bees survived the winter, dont forget us.

[@willow8094]

I just re watching and realized they are wild bee's that come to stay that's really cool !

[@jackiehorsley9263]

pretty neat setup hopefully this Is the year again to capture the bees I guess time well tell

[@shaynej]

oh. I am looking forward to the upcoming bee video...hope its not too far off

[@Citystead]

Oh man you just reminded me about getting busy to try and build a trap to set out this year

[@luvlmmx2]

The building video for some reason is not work. For me anyways. I will keep trying bc I'm looking forward to making some as well.

[@CosmopolitanCornbread]

I just ordered my first bee hive boxes! 😁

[@1870s]

Good luck! so much to learn ♥

[@phyllisbakercoffman8988]

This is very interesting! Thank you!

[@1870s]

Glad you liked it!

[@HoeIngandSowIngGardening]

That is awesome to have bees on your property. They are not really trapped, are they?👍😀🌱🌻🌼😍😎

[@1870s]

Some of the links I provided were apparently broken. Here's a better pointer: kzbin.info/door/GlnnV1P-cUPZ-laIOL62_Qsearch?query=swarm

[@jimweaver7592]

I think you would have better luck with one frame of old comb and the rest just empty frames. Also they don’t have to be that high. Hope you can catch all you can handle.

[@luvntender1180]

Hiya Todd. How you bee? Lol. Great video.

[@1870s]

Hey hey!

[@Dimerpunk]

Damn man you kinda sounded like a gamer ;) ("woah you guys almost saw me wipe"). Love the beard thats your rocking btw!

[@1870s]

Good ole Leroy Jenkins, right. I used to game quite a bit, just no real time for it anymore.

[@leobaltz2057]

Will you make a video on how you made your swarm traps. Those look nice!!!

[@yoopermann7942]

thank you for the tips

[@1870s]

No problem!

[@amoore0713]

Awesome!

[@Greens5511]

Yay....new video!

[@sherylgardiner7]

Hey Todd did you loose any hives we lost two.

[@hollynelson543]

Hi Todd

[@1870s]

Hello Holly

[@Monkchip]

I'm afraid of bees so I'd never have them as pets!!! 😂

[@haleysmith3658]

An ignorant question, I’m sure, but could you technically leave the bees in the swarm traps?

[@1870s]

I do leave them in there for a few weeks normally - and then move them into a normal hive. Could leave them in there long term - I guess you could. But they would pretty quickly outgrow the space and may just cast off another swarm.

[@stevendowden2579]

nice video

[@1870s]

Thanks

[@02271953me]

Getting ours next month. Woot!! They discovered giant asian wasps just north of us last year. I hope they eradicate them.

[@AbundantAcresHomestead]

I’m trying to get my Hubster to get bees...maybe one day 🤞🏼

[@1870s]

Wait for the next video then decide 😜

[@AbundantAcresHomestead]

@@1870s well if i can get HIM to do it...Im all for HIM doing it haha

[@coltonemison]

would you consider selling swarm traps?

[@1870s]

Time to build, plus shipping would stink.
