Incredible Beehive Found In A Rental Home

Welcome back to another exciting episode with Yappy Beeman performing live honeybee removals and rescues. Today we are in Birmingham Alabama removing a colony that the homeowner wasn't aware of when he bought the house a few months before today. the reason why is when they bought the house it was still pretty cold out and in the middle of winter. Bees tend to fly after temps reach above 50 degrees to forage and now that they are up, the bees are more active.
Due to the time of the season and based off of the customers knowledge of events, I assumed we were going to find a cluster of bees and very little comb. Boy was I wrong. These bees had been there at least since last spring and were very healthy. All I could do now was have more fun removing a large colony and find that queen 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]
The first Apis bees appear in the fossil record at the Eocene-Oligocene boundary (34 mya), in European deposits. The origin of these prehistoric honey bees does not necessarily indicate Europe as the place of origin of the genus, only that the bees were present in Europe. Few fossil deposits are known from South Asia, the suspected region of honey bee origin, and fewer still have been thoroughly studied.
No Apis species existed in the New World during human times before the introduction of A. mellifera by Europeans. Only one fossil species is documented from the New World, Apis nearctica, known from a single 14 million-year-old specimen from Nevada.[8]
The close relatives of modern honey bees - e.g., bumblebees and stingless bees - are also social to some degree, and social behavior seems a plesiomorphic trait that predates the origin of the genus. Among the extant members of Apis, the more basal species make single, exposed combs, while the more recently evolved species nest in cavities and have multiple combs, which has greatly facilitated their domestication.

I really appreciate how delicate you are with the queens. I watch a lot of videos where people just clip the queen and crush multiple workers in the process. You're always so respectful, and it's easy to see you really love them.

[@YappyBeeman]

Took lots of practice but it’s my preferred way of catching them. Nice and gentle

[@JeffHorchoff]

Yappy is the Pied Piper of Alabama, he rolls into town and the bees follow him home. Great rescue brother, God's peace.

[@YappyBeeman]

Definitely a fun one. You should have been here. We would have made it epic.

[@ledgekindred]

I'm so happy it's swarming season again and we have the chance to see more Yappy! There aren't many more things on KZbin that are as ... how to say ... light-hearted and happy? As when Yappy gets a swarm and gets to find that queen! Your videos always make me smile! Thanks and keep helping those bees!

[@robertphillips3992]

Your videos are always entertaining and educational. Thank you for taking the time to share them!

[@YappyBeeman]

My pleasure!. I appreciate you watching and commenting.

It's really nice watching someone treat "malplaced bees" with respect and care. Keep up the great work dude!

[@JJ_SDWR]

Yes, bees scare me a bit but I'm glad someone out there is equipped to handle them and takes good care of them.

[@JohnSmith-zi9or]

After watching your videos, I have new respect for bees. Amazing.

[@YappyBeeman]

That’s the purpose. Thanks for jumping in.

[@mikelambrecht7267]

Nice to see you yappe. I love the way you take gentle care of these worker bees they truly give there ( all ) to do what they do😊

[@akantiia]

Another good Queen catch! Loved the explanation on why you put the queen in the cage and how you make sure the bees get the message to stick around their new home!

[@emrsdca]

Yappy, the queens always seem to come out when you're around...must be that Southern charm of yours right? Great video. That was more than a couple of combs there!

[@YappyBeeman]

I just have the best luck with them is all. Wait until you see my next one. @628dirtrooster and I just did one recently and finding a queen at all was a major surprise. You will love it. Probably one of my favorite queen catches yet.

[@xxprouxx]

Lol I love the song that's in the background.

[@denisethompson3819]

That is beautiful. I love bees, they are so neat. Swarms so organised. I'd get pd off if my work was disrupted. They are an organised breeding machine. Mamma worn out get a new queen. No fuss. Animal behaviour, why do we have bees. Or what is the job of bees. Not to make honey for humans and other animals. Yes part of the eco system. Thay Pollinate crops, by their foraging for nectar to feed Queen. So the pollen swaping polinates other plants. It was just luck, humans over time found out their benefits. Well what ever I love them and thank mother nature for giving us a delightful creature and delicious product. ❤

[@patrickbertlein4626]

We are literally screwed without them!!

[@markeggenberger4984]

I hived a large swarm last summer and they tried three times to leave, before deciding to settle in where their queen was, in the hive in one of those queen cages like you use. I guess they had their collective minds made up that they wanted to go somewhere else. And most definitely would have had the queen not been caged. I always enjoy your videos, Yappy! You inspire me!

[@rodneymiddleton9624]

Nice job Yappy!!!!! I’m going nonstop with swarms and cutouts!!! Thanks!!!!

[@YappyBeeman]

Nice. I hope you have a great season my friend.

Love to see them moved to a new home. Do the bees you catch end up at farms or other sites? Or do they typically stay at Casa de Yappy?

They stay with me but I live out in a very wooded countryside. They are living the bee dream.

Hey Yappy! Love your videos! What’s that camera you use? It seems like you’re holding it on a stick, but if that’s true, than the stick appears invisible to the camera? It also appears to be omnidirectional?

[@YappyBeeman]

It’s our secret…. Insta 360

[@dv8322]

@Yappy Beeman When you pick up the queen does she try and sting you? If not, why doesn't she? Will the queen die if she stings you? Do the workers try and sting you when you pick up the queen? 😇

[@YappyBeeman]

I have never been stung by a queen in 10 years so I honestly can’t answer that. Good question though.

[@ArtyomDid]

У королевы есть жало, но она его использует только чтобы убить других маток, если они есть в улье. В американских быстровозводимых домах пчёлам живётся комфортно)) у нас в основном дома из камня (кирпич, бетон), крыши утеплены, поэтому на чердаках живут в основном осы. До морозов. Забавные ролики👍 From 🇷🇺 with love !!!

[@TanksInSpace_]

Unlike the workers, the queen bee has a smooth stinger, so she can sting multiple times without dying. It's only used to kill other queens, not to defend herself or the colony against danger.

[@McGoogger]

Bees are hype

[@extreme978]

Another question, when I was in school, (5th grade) they taught us that the queen was the only female in the hive. The drones was male, and the workers was neutrals. Why does everyone call the worker bees, "girls"?

[@YappyBeeman]

The workers are females that are unable to lay eggs. They come from fertilized eggs. The male (drone) actuallycomes from an unfertilized egg interestingly enough. It has genetics from its mother and grandfather somehow. Nature is so amazing.

[@rjung_ch]

👍💪✌

[@cameronmcindoe5925]

What’s the difference with vacuuming the hive compared to letting them March and does vacuuming kill the bees

[@wakingtheworld]

The vacuuming doesn't harm them. It's very gentle. This much I have learned from watching his vids...

[@suzannagibson911]

Do you give the bees back some of their hive & honey

[@gabbytrigsted205]

What are hive beetles??

[@YappyBeeman]

They are a pest to the bee that if left unchecked can overrun a hive and cause it to leave.

[@gabbytrigsted205]

Oh no!!!! I’m so glad you were there to save them 🫡

[@robingraham6820]

You never use a bee suit or gloves? Why are ALL the bees you come across so calm? Here in Orkney, Scotland, you would be in serious trouble before you get in among the frames.🧐

I’m just blessed to not piss off our local bees. You must have missed my last video. I suited up in that one.

How do you know that you're dealing with 'regular' Honey bees and not Africanized 'killer' bees before you start dealing with them? Also, how often do you encounter Killer bees instead of normal Honey bees?

[@karl_fallout4523]

why is there a Birmingham in alabama

[@YappyBeeman]

They couldn’t think of anything original I guess.

[@lastwymsi]

Youll find repeated names all over the US. Some of it comes from immigrants founding cities and just calling it the same name or adding "New" on the front of it. Some of it just comes from people just... choosing to for no real reason. Sometimes its because they think its funny! (Like naming a city or county Bum/Hell/Damn, etc.)
