Infestation Horror Found In Their New Home!

I can NOT believe how this went down! Earlier during the day I received a call from a new homeowner in Birmingham, Al that came home and found bees all up in their house. We spoke for a bit about the situation and I felt it would be best to ride down and take a look at what was going on. When I got there, there wasn't really much activity outside the house. I found a few honeybees flying around but no real sign of an infestation of bees. We decided on a few steps to take and while standing in the driveway, I heard a sound that was unmistakable.......it was the bees and they were flying in from where they came from to their new home in a void of the customers new home! I've had this happen one other time. It's an incredible thing to witness but for the homeowners it wasn't on their top ten list for sure.
Now comes the problems for me. I don't have ANY of my bee removal equipment with me. I wasn't going to have time to do a removal that day. It was just an evaluation and I was in my car. But a few quick thinking ideas and we put the plan together. Stop them from getting in easy and catch the queen! If that works, I'm golden! And that's exactly what happened!!!! The rest is a great memory for the homeowners and the making of an equally great video for you to enjoy.
So please, take a moment to comment and tickle that "LIKE" button. This couple deserve it for standing in the mix of all those BEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSS!!!
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]

[@julieabraham3566]

Bees wanted to give them some honey as a house-warming present. It's harder to explain to them that people prefer honey in jars rather than walls!

[@3DeeFanatic]

Wow !! Yappy Beeman's confidence in handling the situation is astounding ! Well done 👏👏👏

[@ledgekindred]

"Checkitout checkitout checkitout!" when Yappy sees bees just puts a huge smile on my face every time! Yappy, I would totally watch the whole video, not sped up, to see the whole march into the box in real-time. The marches you and the other bee-tubers get on video never cease to amaze me. They are mesmerizing and make me smile to just see the bees go marching in to find their queen!

[@CristiNeagu]

Lesson for the future: have a queen cage as part of your EDC (every day carry).

[@YappyBeeman]

That's no lie. I swear I had one in the car but couldn't find it.

They didn't know what to think. We were in the driveway when they started flying over the house and I admit, I even went into oh-crap mode. End result was priceless though.

[@polanadon6075]

This dude is awesome 👌 👏 👍🏽

[@Jchmcom]

The first time you harvest honey from that hive you should give them a jar of it. Those bees were just welcoming them to the neighborhood and you didn't even let their queen rest for 5 seconds after she landed.

[@LoveU1st]

These videos are so much more than just entertaining because Yappy has a magnetic personality! They are truly educational and inspiring and most needed! We need a Yappy to visit every school in the States to educate and ignite that same passion and joy in rescuing and rehoming bees in the next generations because they are critical to the wellbeing of our environment! (Even though I run from bees 🤭)

[@mikes1345]

My grandson had bees at his new patio addition and was calling an exterminator and I jump in my car and drove the 10 miles. His wife got a quote of $800. Went out to see what I would need to remove them. They were guarding a knothole in the cedar board wall 8 foot up. I told him I wasn't sure a colony had moved in when he yelled " behind you" and took off running. A swarm came in. I did manage to get him to get his ladder and I plugged the hole with cellophane wrapper with him peeking around the corner. This was both our first sight of a swarm arriving. He thought I was nuts but it was great. I had no way to collect them and not very good balance so we watched until they left. Found them again in a small bush at a neighbor. The neighbor knew a beekeeper with equipment ready so he got free bees, and I had no empty equipment but it turned out well and was fun.

[@joedenton7023]

Great job on that swarm catch, definitely a bee whisperer! Looking for the next one!

[@randymorgan-droneovermichigan]

Totally fascinating! I'm hooked on your channel. Would you consider doing a short video on how to get started beekeeping in a suburban neighborhood?

[@YappyBeeman]

The best answer is to actually find a bee keeping club in your area. It's not really as easy as just putting bees in a box and collect honey. There is alot of maintenance involved.

[@randymorgan-droneovermichigan]

Thanks Yappy!

[@losconosciuto9521]

[@Gopats1287]

How do you not stung when you throw them all down like that into a box I thought they would be pissed?! Also have you ever came across the Africanized bees before in your working experience? Love the videos

[@CONEHEADDK]

I don't know anything, but I expect the way of "throwing" is "calm" instead of "panic" mode - kinda like the difference between a brach swinging in the wind, or being "hit". Pets understand the difference between an accident and an attack, and bees would have advantages of not over reacting, so maybe they've just evolved to not go berserk for nothing? Other places like fx Africa, the amount of predetors are larger, so they have been more under attack since for ever, and have evolved to killers - I guess.. Looking forward to mr Yappy's explaination though.

[@cathymontgomery7295]

When bees swarm they are at their least defensive. They have no hive, no young bees, no honey. They are homeless and they know it. They are bonded to the queen and looking for a home and Yappy knew that.

[@CONEHEADDK]
