I Wasn't Expecting This To Happen

Seeing is believing YappyBeeman
Any beekeeper knows, the most exciting thing we do is catch swarms of bee in a tree. The gentle nature of them when they are in swarm mode is an amazing experience to interact with a colony of bees looking for a new home. This is one of those times. I was amazed to find this size of a swarm and glad to have the opportunity to collect it. But little did I know the branch they landed on wasnt very strong. and in the middle of getting ready to share with you a little info about them, the darn branch breaks and sets this capture into overdrive! But the bees werent bothered and played right along to give you a great view of them accepting their new home with Yappy Beeman.
And so the story goes and the video rolls. Hope you enjoy this episode with Yappy Beeman and another colony of bees in places they don't need to bee.
I hope you enjoy it as much as I did and remember, I am a trained professional.....wink wink. Don't try this at home. or anywhere else for that matter.
Honeybees can always be dangerous and it is not recommended to attempt to remove them with experience with bees or construction knowledge.
I hope you enjoy this little bit of fun. I enjoy your feedback in the comments and thank you for taking the time to check out my channel. Until the next time, enjoy the show.
Yappy Beeman is a professional bee remover performing live honey bee removals in Alabama as "Alabama Bee Rescue" and relocates them to apiaries away from residential areas so they can rebuild and thrive as a honey bee colony producing honey. Yappy is an Alabama Beekeepers association member that has performed over 1000 live bee removals. Yappy with the help of his great friends Jpthebeeman, 628 Dirtrooster bees, Jeff Horchoff and many others, I have learned many skills to remove bee swarms and honey bee colonies safely for the bees and home owners alike.

Here is a little bee educational material for ya.
Africanized honey bees (known colloquially as "killer bees") are hybrids between European stock and the East African lowland subspecies A. m. scutellata; they are often more aggressive than European honey bees and do not create as much of a honey surplus, but are more resistant to disease and are better foragers.[23] Accidentally released from quarantine in Brazil, they have spread to North America and constitute a pest in some regions. However, these strains do not overwinter well, so they are not often found in the colder, more northern parts of North America. The original breeding experiment for which the East African lowland honey bees were brought to Brazil in the first place has continued (though not as originally intended). Novel hybrid strains of domestic and re-domesticated Africanized honey bees combine high resilience to tropical conditions and good yields. They are popular among beekeepers in Brazil.
Honey bees appear to have their center of origin in South and Southeast Asia (including the Philippines), as all the extant species except Apis mellifera are native to that region. Notably, living representatives of the earliest lineages to diverge (Apis florea and Apis andreniformis) have their center of origin there.[7]

[@ledgekindred]

I LOVE THE MARCH! These are the best captures when you get to see those lines of bees heading to the entrance surrounded by the ones fanning! Sometimes I can almost smell that zesty smell Yappy talks about. Some day maybe.

[@akantiia]

I love that the girls were so super chill even with the limb breaking and scattering them in and around the bee box!

[@j-scribble7676]

Wow… Amazing how you didn’t get stung! You’re truly the bee whisperer!

[@kolethegreat9454]

He def got stung but not very many times

[@American-Jello]

I saw you for the first time just the other day in a very old video by JP the beeman. I commented that you seemed like a lunatic and I thought that was awesome, and he responded and recommended I check out your channel, so here I am. You definitely seem like a crazy person, I am glad I came. Subscribed.

[@YappyBeeman]

Lol.....thats an eval that would be hard to argue. JP is a great friend I have much respect for. Thanks for jumping aboard. I appreciate it.

[@yappygm7433]

Yappy is a giant when it comes to finding queens and wrangling bees!

[@Susietacoma]

This was SO COOL 😎!!! Nice job, Yappy! Thank you for sharing this. You are the best. Love the bees 🐝 🐝 🐝.

[@cecoya]

Great job Yappy on catching this swarm and how easy the Queen was to find a new home. How fun this was. Broken branch and all. Have a great day

[@kevinbyrne4538]

Amazing that you could find the queen in all of that chaos.

[@andrewuzunoe6620]

Yappy, you are my hero! I love bees and what you do is so important to our environment! Love this channel! And say "hi" to the girls for me!

[@tz1592]

Super cool

[@Barbara_Schulz]

You amaze me with how you just pick up handfuls of bees and never get stung! Got my bedtime buzz! Thanks Yappy!

[@AlexIsModded]

Their temperament is fantastic. What a beautiful colony.

[@mariafox9226]

Those look like some happy buzzers alright. 😊

[@lewiemcneely9143]

Fanning? I'd SAY fanning! My Sweetie watched this and wasn't believing you didn't get eat UP but I told her that 99% of the time you were just like you are now. No Zoot Suit! BLESSINGS 2 U, Buddy!

[@dawnstudley3368]

So amazing to watch them march!

[@AndyPanda9]

Yappy loves his job! I love watching Yappy rescue bees! 😆

[@rodneyhaymon1628]

Love it when a plan comes together

[@thelazyfishkeeper2730]

even murphy's law can't keep you from finding a queen .

[@goforitbeyourself.suekirk2165]

You soooolove your bees it’s awesome to see xxx

[@JohnnyWednesday]

You ability to find a Queen is a Jedi-level power!

[@turdferguson5300]

Fastest march I've ever seen, awesome!

[@icusmilingAZ]

Do all the bees make it inside? I'd like to see how it looks when you are done and ready to leave. Thanks for the videos! My daughter loves them as well

[@theresawilson6129]

They are truly BEE-AUTIFUL 🐝❤

[@nashia23]

Hey girls! I know you’ll be happy in your new home!🐝

[@rodneymiddleton9624]

Awesome job Yappy!!!! I had a swarm move in a trap at lunch today. Thanks!!

[@ScavengerMerchant]

What a beautiful march!

[@jefferykeller2995]

Awesome catch Yappy. Need to carry a white sheet, to put on that hot black truck .

[@pixietwitch]

I was thinking that, too, but it could create a very dangerous slip hazard.

[@annatanski3255]

Excellent work. Humans can learn from bees on how to conduct teamwork.

[@neeksnature4419]

Your the best Yappy, I aspire to be as good a bee keeper as you one day! Inspiring! ❤

[@Pink1792Megs]

I love the slow mo of all them fanning at the end! ❤❤❤❤❤

[@ThePollaton]

Nice and easy one for you 😊. Apparently there have been a record number of swarms in the Bolton area of uk. Due to the cold spring and lovely warm up we’re currently experiencing (not happened upon one myself though 😢)

[@davidmckeever2443]

Proves Yappy is the King of Queens! What a catch!

[@kevinheard8364]

I always enjoy your videos .... thanks so much for your channel and all the effort that you put into it. Happy Father's Day

[@roberts6644]

That was some cool “bee-roll” footage at the end.

[@kathybrandt6060]

Hello, I have been watching all of your videos now for the last four months. You have the coolest job, not cool because it’s very hot in the south, but you have the most interesting job. How did you get into beekeeping? Is it a family affair or did you just think it would be a cool job? You can tell from your videos that you love what you do and that is so awesome. It would be so nice if we all loved our jobs as much as you love yours. Thank you for bringing us along and teaching us just a tiny bit of what your job entails . Kathy.

[@dorr221]

Looks like your going to need a bigger box.🐝👍🏻

[@larrylezon1590]

When I was a kid, I helped a family friend with his hives a couple times. It was one of the most fascinating and memorable experiences of my life. Watching your videos brings back those memories. I'm amazed at how well you handle the hives. Keep up the good work. You obviously love what you do!

[@thatswhatleighsaid]

Love how much you love them, Yappy! ❤ 🐝

[@robinchopra139]

I was happy you didnt fall off the truck when that limb fell. You were LUCKY!

[@YappyBeeman]

No doubt. Wasn't expecting that for sure

[@iliketocomment8144]

It was cool how they marched in that box. Mother Nature is amazing!

[@hchristineq4790]

That was a crazy quick march as soon as the branch broke!!!

[@robertstaples3256]

Someday I wanna be as happy to go to work as Yappy.

[@amarieoflothlorien]

The bees saw him coming,.....look girls there is that guy with our new home LOL!!!!

[@jennr7500]

That was just not expected and totally awesome!!!!

[@Christine-fg2re]

Always a great to watch Yappy.

[@thisIsJwiley]

Yappy is a damn giga chad

[@eileenjurek6898]

That is a lot of little ladies.

[@Kingpin267]

Its so awesome seeing bees being so friendly and finding them a new home !

[@karynneves4731]

Love watching you!! Happy Yappy 🐝

[@Vokabre]

As a youngster I used to live in a wooden house with a wasp nest nearby and was woken up by wasps way too often, and got really spooked from bees&wasps and the like. Your channel makes one appreciate bees and bumblebees much more.

[@donstanley8514]

Nice catch.!!

[@Gnif57]

Good job of eyes on the Queen 👍

[@YappyBeeman]

Thank you..

[@stephenglass2011]

It never gets old watching you catch bees Yappy !

[@paulsocie7152]

What a quick and amazing march, that was an easy one for ya!

[@RebirthFlame]

That fanning in unison is so neat to see.

[@lfurches]

Good job girls, one of the rare days when you job goes so smoothly, you're just giddy with amazement

[@MikeLowry488]

Lol the positive attitude, I love it! The Steve Irwin of bees🤣💪🏾

[@evanhofmeyr-tg1gl]

😂😂Good job Jappie. 😊😊

[@hmspain52]

That last shot was AWESOME!

[@eileenshaw8697]

You're great at what you do, no denying 🙂

[@alabamathrifter365]

Man oh man, that was absolutely amazing. If I ever go back to Vegas you are going with me Yappy!!!! I’m still watching about every day brother. I watched you up at Mentone earlier when you had the Dirt Rooster with you, I noticed he wasn’t much help but he did throw his intro in there a couple of times. 😂

[@Pureignition58]

Thank you for the help keeping humanity alive.

[@dansiebens9441]

Thank you Yappy!! I always enjoy your adventures. Always fun and interesting..

[@SparkBag]

That branch may not have made for a clean removal by MAN did it make for good content! Great work Yappy!

[@jannetsjourney5525]

Amazing!🐝

[@BasenjiAdventures]

Another amazing video! We love the way you can just handle them like that! 💯😎

[@phillipduncan2497]

Nice job catching the queen. Looking forward to seeing you at Hive Life next January.

[@amandaliberty08]

Delightful as always. I absolutely love that final fanning shot!

[@MrTrool323]

Everybody loves Yappy,cuz he is the Bee Collector

[@TonyAndersonMusic]

Do you ever step on bees and crush them by accident?

[@patreekotime4578]

Pure chaos Yappy! Fantastic rescue!

[@YappyBeeman]

It was amazing fun.

[@yesabenson]

Very cool! Amazing creatures!

[@lightwavz]

That was really dang cool! All they needed was a new home. 😅

[@cathybenson5119]

Nice one, Yappy. 🇦🇺 😊😊

[@derricklogan2058]

I haven't seen so many Bees since I was a child! As a matter of fact, I rarely get to see any Bees at all 😞 here in Detroit like I used to. 😮 It's sad, but at least there's no shortage of Honeybees where you are!! So it's good to watch your videos 📸!! I don't see many Bumblebees either and I love 💕 Bumblebees too!! Do you keep Bumblebees at all or just Honeybees?

[@Brievel]

I am pondering whether or not to include your videos in my science curriculum for my children in the upcoming year. On the one hand they are both fun and educational. On the other hand my children are toddlers and I'm not fully confident that teaching them to grab handfuls of flying stinging insects is the best idea.

[@freedomfreedomfreedom]

Yappy makes us happy.

[@FU-Utube]

I gotta ask, do you get stung still? Does it even bother/hurt you anymore? I imagine you've built up a tolerance to the venom by now.

[@conniewilson5531]

That was very cool. Talk about your happy accidents, for all concerned, lol 😆

[@rburn6677]

Nice big swarm and you didn't have to tear anything apart.

[@barbridingsTheResinator]

Hi Girls. Yall be nice to Yappy!

[@lindadesrosiers6088]

Love It!
