Massive Honey Bee Swarm! (Live Bee Rescue)

Cluster of honey bees on red-tipped Photinia

[@kckrye]

was that lady drinking? LOL JP, you have the patience of a saint my man!

[@walkerrandall3044]

i guess it is quite off topic but does anybody know a good place to watch newly released series online?

[@kevincarpenter6658]

Susan seemed like a 'good ole gal' and very enthusastic about bees. I'm very happy she was in this video BECAUSE she didn't have the same feel for Bees that JP has. She provided a good contrast to JPs gentler, slower and smoother methods. Seeing that difference was very educational. Susan +1

[@brettwillbornsr.8437]

Kevin Carpenter I agree with you ! I have notice also my bee skills have gotten better through the year . Happy bees are easier to work than mad bees and handling has a big part in it.

[@kittens21]

I actually cringed when she started scraping them poor bee's up the side of that tree and especially when she threw them over on the box, poor things I'm sure she's a nice enough lady and means well but damn she talked a lot! Her talking would actually make me nervous let alone the bee's!!

[@DougDbeekeeper]

Glad you survived Hurricane Isaac. We are just now getting the leftovers up here in Indiana. Thanks for another great teaching video. Will bee glad to see Schawee healed up and back with you. Thanks for your friendship.

[@pearls2044]

JP you are so humble and nice towards everyone. Thanks for sharing

[@JPthebeeman]

My back has improved tremendously. I get flare ups now and again but for the most part, it doesn't bother me. Almost good as new. My neck on the other hand still bothers me frequently but it has improved as well. I thought for a while my neck would require surgery but currently I'm not desperate enough to go forth with neck surgery. Thank goodness. ...JP

[@JPthebeeman]

Suzie is larger than life and full of energy. She's a real trip as you can see. :) ...JP

[@salpearson9698]

It's always a pleasure to see you interacting with the bees with such gentleness. Thank-you, from a UK "natural" beekeeper

[@JPthebeeman]

Thanks a bunch Sal, appreciate your feedback!

[@bobbiejovaughn6781]

I love watching your videos. It's nice to see people so excited and not worried about anyone around. Life would be so boring if everyone had the same personality. Even your bees personalities are different from one job to the next job. I am so glad I found your videos.

[@JPthebeeman]

bobbie jo vaughn I'm so glad to have you with us, thanks for taking time out of your day to watch the videos!

[@KayAteChef]

JP I have been watching you for a few years, and now I have caught a dozen swarms, done a few cut outs, and now I have half dozen hives in my back yard, given some to friends. Good times.

[@jamiewilson9262]

So. Much. Enthusiasm!! Suzy is a treat! What a fun video of a super fun day! 💜🐝 Thanks, JP!!

[@corysummers3008]

Lol, she scraped them off the front of the hive. Good for her though for not being scared.... JP, your patience is admirable....

[@maidenlord6663]

lady u got your point across let Jp do his thing

[@rrhodes16]

JP, successfully retrieved my first swarm last week, and wanted to thank you for the videos. Couldn't have done it without your instruction!

[@magicalsimmy]

“Don’t touch the box!” *~touches box anyway~* People, man.

[@nickbeam5432]

The reason those bee's went to that limb was to get away from that woman ! i know i would of joined them in there exiting !

[@lucianoguerra9013]

Thank You Loader. This is my fourth or third video. You have amazing patients with bees and people. I can't stand being around people, mostly because I'm afraid I'll have to pay for their mistakes. I wonder if you ever use the bee protection gear other than the smoker.

[@JPthebeeman]

Luciano Guerra if you watch enough of my videos you’ll see me suit up on rare occasion. That’s when the lil darlings are acting very aggressively though. ☺️🐝🐝🐝

[@JPthebeeman]

Yes, being busy takes your mind off of other things, especially when you're busy doing things you love! ...JP

[@dolfsaltkill5455]

You are definitely around a lot of colorful characters I would fit right in I'm pretty sure

[@stanlindert6332]

Susan has got the touch. I love it when it becomes a neighborhood thang. Good video. Thanks

[@georgewaynewilcoxjr2102]

You make me chuckle and take me away from all my problems. My future is bee removal.

[@4fuzzybear]

Drunk woman stirs up gentle bees. Your a patient man JP...

[@Chris-yo4ks]

You sure are a patient man. I was cringing the whole time she was roughly raking the honeybees.

[@JPthebeeman]

Chris Bruinsma not going to lie, I was cringing too 😉

[@beefspit1]

Hey Jp Great vid as usual, You help educate a lot of folks which is a real must these days. gee Susie is a character, sounds like she eats gravel what a voice!! look forward to your next one

[@wholloway99]

ha ha ha

[@Pinion512]

This was a fun video. I like the way you interact with people and bees. Your work has interested me enough to where the now want to get some bees.

[@JPthebeeman]

If I charged a dollar a sting I would be poorer than dirt. Would have to charge in bee pounds! :) ...JP

[@Travisghorton]

Your friend Susan is hilarious, don't listen to those haters.

[@ollie510]

YA! "JP'S HONEYBEE CUT OUT AND SWARM REMOVAL 101" I WOULD BYE IT!

[@JPthebeeman]

Thanks Kevin! Good to see you here. How's your back doing? ...JP

[@livefree810]

J P was Susie drunk ,or excited? Man she was loud, LOL and k8nda handled them to rough, LOL lol GREAT JOB JP HANDLING IT,

[@JPthebeeman]

Let’s just say she was very likely somewhat medicated. 😉✌️🐝

[@eddtommygotsgeen5607]

Love your videos. You have a great likeable attitude for life. Couple questions. Why do you leave the queen in the catcher when she goes in the box and how can you tell the difference between a drown and a queen?

[@JPthebeeman]

I cage the queen so that if the colony decides to swarm out, they have to come back to the set up. Sometimes they will do this up to 3-4 times. By then they have no choice but to get busy & once I see they've started building new comb & established themselves I will then release her. Drones' eyes bug out more than queens and worker bees. They have kind of a chubby look to them. The queen's abdomen is longer & always tapered to a point.

[@gary5172]

Respectfully...I know Suzy is a friend of yours, but you let her be too rough at scraping those bees off of the branches.

[@JPthebeeman]

That was a one time thing my friend. Even though she was abrupt I agree with you on that, the bees honestly could care less & albeit it looked rough, none were injured that I recall. Bees are tougher than you'd think.

[@janetross1900]

That woman is intense

[@JPthebeeman]

It was the least I could do considering you're one of my frequent commenters. ...JP

[@ndelockedout]

They breed um thick I Louisiana, only thing missing is boss hog and roscoe

[@kwdorst]

JP, another great video. Glad you faired the storm. -Kevin

[@qraunnmiller694]

“DONT SWAT AT EM” 🤣

[@TARAHABIT]

Fascinated at the way you handle bees, you do not need any protection, why is that, do the bees pick up the fact that you will do them no harm

[@TrainCrazy.]

No disrespect JP, great video as always, she just started yappin and wouldn't quit. Again, thanks for sharing

[@carvinlambert6899]

Don't touch the Box.. touches box ! omg!!

[@ArchivedFox]

bee emergency rescue crew =)

[@alansnellings633]

Was that lady after your job? lol

[@JPthebeeman]

+Alan spellings Lol, that was Suzy Lemoine of Golden Bee Products, a friend of mine.

[@rossbade7372]

that lady was lit !

[@davidwilliams9673]

turned them bee's into killers lol

[@ShadowHawk70]

Great Collection, JP!

[@NinjaNeglector]

Susie was drunk af lol

[@johngardner1898]

You put a feeder at the entrance because you were concerned they had gone a long time without food?

[@JPthebeeman]

John Gardner I don’t believe so, believe it was just a little insurance in case some wanted a little something extra.

[@wtalex378]

Fantastic!!!!

[@ellenl.5581]

Come hither.

[@ericander2108]

Always awesome videos.

[@spfldmilkman]

that woman seem half a bubble off plum or just plain welflare member, gator bait.

[@sharonriley948]

Mr JP, I ALWAYS enjoy your videos.....Do you keep a beeyard of your own? If so howabout a video featuring your work there..Rick

[@yolet6179]

Somebody been drinking....

[@JPthebeeman]

Yole T 😉

[@JPthebeeman]

I have several different bee yards throughout southeast, Louisiana. Visit my website which is listed on my channel/home page (Just click on the link) and look under the heading "Apiaries". I have several of my bee yards listed there with slideshows of the set ups. Thanks for your feedback! ...JP

[@rsadventures4702]

Man get Susie outta there 🤦🏾‍♂️ Too dang fast showing out IS SHE DRUNK

[@altalemur6382]

i like Susan

[@ow2750]

omg someone is wearing his underwear outside of its trousers.... horrible

[@juncusbufonius]

Make the shouty woman go please.

[@apexaero]

Sometimes people in their speech will form an imagined verb from orientation and say orientate. At best, orientate is a back-formation used humorously to make the speaker sound pompous. The correct word is the verb orient.

[@leviridge3307]

they bite

[@ceeceefontaine]

Wtf was that?!

[@nebojsha78]

Freaking lady

[@william6526]

That woman is obnoxious

[@HouseOfHam]

No offense, but you're pronouncing "Nasonov" totally wrong. It's a Russian, so English rules do not apply. The 's' is pronounced as an 's', not a 'z', and the stress is on the first 'o'. na-SO-nov

[@JPthebeeman]

HouseOfHam thanks for the clarification. How much do you charge for a ham sandwich?

[@HouseOfHam]

mmm, idk... how much are you willing to pay for a sandwich with a nice thick slice of honey ham?

[@JPthebeeman]

HouseOfHam I'm not a ham sandwich kind of guy, was just asking for a friend 😉

[@HouseOfHam]

Well, I don't sell sandwiches, either, but for the right price, I'd make you one. 😉

[@JPthebeeman]

We've only had seven documented cases throughout our state since they were found in swarm traps up in Ruston, Louisiana. That was June of 2005. I have had two colonies that were extremely aggressive tested but they were just some really mean European bees. ...JP

[@jossenbella]

Hi JP, Dave/Blueblood from over at beekeepingforums. I have been catching up with all of your vids and landed on this one. I was cracking up when Miss Susie entered the scene. And, Just about fell out of my chair when the fella was messing with your box, ha! Thanks for all the viewing entertainment and education. This will be my second year and looking forward to all the new "2nd year" things to look for.

[@Super1builder]

Sounds like you had more onlookers than bees! lol

[@tappakeggaday1]

yet another great video.I haven't kept count of how many you have made so far but with all the bees youve gotten off of these jobs I bet you have a bee yard on about 20 acres!!I really hope to be able to set up my first hive one day and i learn a lot watching videos like these..thank you so much for posting them. Ed.

[@jedtaylor3551]

Like many things that people don't understand the first move is offensive in nature - you do more for the safety of people and bees with these vids than anyone can tell you - enjoy all of these keep it up

[@NorthtoHopeDesert_Hues]

That woman a hoot. Nice colony! We did our very first cut out last weekend... good learning experience. We will look for the queen next weekend.

[@JPthebeeman]

I can't wait to have him back doing cut outs with me as well. Thanks for your feedback! ...JP

[@christinelynndevaughn3070]

No one is as gentle as you. You truly love them and that's why the bee kingdom knows you to be their savior.

[@tiredmummy7512]

even I thought that was a pretty queen. the lady there shouldn't try to bully people to get closer. if they want to get closer, they'll do it themselves. And she certainly shouldn't take the Micky out of them!!!

[@JPthebeeman]

I agree. Bees aren't for everyone :-)

[@YodaAz58]

Nice JP, you ever get Africanized bees that way, he in AZ we do! Can't do what you do, no protection.

[@MichaelCarolina]

JP I so enjoy your videos....I would love to see one of all your hives.

[@TrainCrazy.]

Um, JP, we can do without the bigmouth woman.....good grief

[@JPthebeeman]

MrAirman812 she & her friend just happened to be down the street & walked up. I believe everyone had a blast that day.

[@RYENZRO]

Gad to see you made it through the storm, JP! Thanks again for sharing!

[@101448]

YOU REALLY SHOULD THO HAVE YOUR OWN SHOW, WITH OUT MY BEING FUNNY YOU ARE MORE BRAVE AND DEFINE ALMOST TO THE TEE, VERY EDUCATIONAL, OH AND I SUBBED QUICK! BUT BE SAFE IN NEIGHBORHOOOOODS!

[@lorral333]

What is an Abscond?

[@JPthebeeman]

+Lorral333 an abscond is when the entire colony leaves en masse. This can happen for a variety of reasons: parasites such as ants, predators such as skunks or wasps or if a tree or building has fallen, etc...

[@JPthebeeman]

You are quite welcome! ...JP

[@sairaqsa]

Please say hi to Susan and the rest people from IRAQ.

[@kwdorst]

JP- I'm doing great. Back to work and feeling great. How's your back holding up?

[@johngardner1898]

Fascinating segment at the end with a sub-group heading up to the tree. This reinforces why you orient your activities to find the queen. They couldn't get into the box fast enough, they were already in swarm mode, but with the queen caged, you are in control....as long as there is one queen.

[@JIMPONYD]

JP, another great video. Keep up the good work. JD'

[@101448]

OH AND HAVE TO SAY, BUY OL YAPPER THAT FOOT LONG HOTDOG, AND YOU TAKE HIS SHAKE!LOL

[@jerrodmartin2561]

Susie needs to stop drinking

[@samanthasimental3788]

That lady was annoying.

[@ow2750]

grandma is a bit loud

[@hermanvogelsang7482]

THX have a nice day.

[@ChantzWadePlease]

She's drunk

[@billramsay2892]

Great work👍!

[@PhillipHall01]

Patience is a virtue!! Good job all the way around with the bees and the people!! Good video.... God Bless....Thanks again....

[@americanlivesmatter-BmanWild]

7:27 Queen

[@davidtolley7145]

: )

[@tuhuertoyjardin]

How do you know the bees absconded? That is a mistery to me.

[@JPthebeeman]

Time of year & experience has a lot to do with my assessment.

[@tuhuertoyjardin]

@@JPthebeeman Thank you! Now I see what you mean. I like a lot your videos. How you approach each rescue is very instructive.

[@Roushe2011]

They were clustering around u a bit. Must have been a lil annoying
