I notice how JP never gets an "angry hive" I think it has a lot to do with his demeanor. So steady and never rushes.

[@montyrackley612]

Joshua Burnett, he won’t want to try that here in Brazil, these bees don’t care how your demeanor is they want to kill you and all of them come at you it seems. If there’s a bad spot in your suit they find it

[@imagin916]

Monty Rackley that’s why we now have Africanized bees here in parts of the US, invasive species from Brazil.

I love how JP just embraced a new beekeeper and welcomed her help and taught her so kindly! What a lovely man, his love for this hobby is infectious! I'm never going to allow a bee to be within 20 feet of me if I have any say about it (I'm allergic) but sometimes I'm jealous that I can only watch through a screen.

[@chrisbruce3164]

Kat for the win! Team work makes the dream work. Nice calm bees.

[@keithkimsten5111]

Great video! The helpers were brave to say the least, my hat is tipped to them too! 👍👍👍🍻

[@Thetis058]

Best part of the video other then watching you rescue those bees was you passing on some of your knowledge to a new bee keeper. Ok those grubs were pretty interesting as well .

[@donaldsmith3048]

You got a good looking helper today!

[@imagin916]

Capybaras are my favorite animals, glad to see that the bees are safe and so are the adorable capys ❤️🐹

[@pamelaflirtyskunk7698]

I still can't believe that queen was at the top like that! And you spotted her from 5 feet away! LOL Great video! I was glad to see a new one pop up!

[@JPthebeeman]

Pamela Schramke come on Pam that was a good five & a half feet! 🤣

[@pamelaflirtyskunk7698]

JPthebeeman OK, OK! I was mistaken! 😂😂😂

[@livefree810]

SHES VERY BRAVE, SEEMS REALLY INTO IT, GREAT JOB LADY, WOW

[@kckrye]

Julie looked so shy there at the end. Ha ha ha! Pretty neat to see them get to be a part of the bee world JP.

[@hmspain52]

"Be careful, there may be a bee between the rubber band and the comb" WOW! How many bee keepers are as careful and caring as you! My congratulations on your serene patience!

[@georgegeorgia3856]

Yeah he's more concerned about the bees than his phone evidently

[@kevinwebster6994]

There's JPB guy ninja teach the killer bee guy a lot of lessons is that killer bee Guy where he's from don't know shitt all he does is killing the bees I wish JP bee man School the killer bee guy about bees cuz that killer bee guy doesn't know shit so please JB get a hold of that killer bee guy look them up online go Google him Killer Bee guy doesn't know shit JB you're the best

[@banmadabon]

I think he was definitely hitting on her...(not to say he's a bad person but his behaviour seemed to me having a hidden agenda) too bad she seemed a bit on the lesbxian side. On her buddy with the ponytail I can bet my house on...

[@sheilamclaughlin963]

Kevin Webster the difference is that up is rescuing regular tame honey bees, the killer bee guy is working with Africanized hybrid bees that r a danger to the public so he has to protect the public from them, them will attack over several city blocks, hence killing them, not sure igo along with himtransplanting hives into the desert as it is not stopping the killer bee problem

[@thechariotcard]

Harrison Spain you can say that again! I watched another beeke3per video and could not believe how careless and thoughtless he was after watching this fellow!!

[@ambertracks]

Never a dull moment with JP

[@mannygomez5433]

=. d¡¡¡¡¡z good0ne

[@Stikker021]

I think this is one of your best rescues yet. Among many other cool things, Julie the ornithologist got to learn about a new "bird", Kat the new beekeeper got to cut her teeth with your help, you got to eat crow with your "I don't think this hive is very big" statement :D, and a bee got the last word in (check the last 5 seconds). Really enjoy your videos JP. Thanks.

[@JPthebeeman]

Douglas Owen the "new bird" quote made me laugh, thanks for that one ☺

[@mauromelis2995]

@@JPthebeeman I can ask you a question, but how is it possible that the bees don't come on you to get stung !!? Because but as I approach not even so close I immediately sting and I'm all ashamed, and I do not do anything I do not provoke, how do you do it !?

[@JPthebeeman]

Mauro Melis where are you located & what are your temperatures like when you are around bees?

[@mauromelis2995]

@@JPthebeeman Do you say my body temperature or the temperature of the time !? I don't know, I don't know about bees, but I only know that every time I pass near the hives in my uncle's boxes, they always bite me, next time I go at night with a can of gas, I burn them all, never did them. of evil and they are always all over me, anyway I am Italian I live in Rome Italy

[@JPthebeeman]

Mauro Melis honey bees being insects prefer warm temperatures. If it’s not temperature related it could be their genetics that are having an influence. Some races of bees are more aggressive than others.

[@livefree810]

J P does all the work himself you never see anyone helping clear the path, he's one heck of a guy, HES THE BEE WISPER ,,,LOL THANK U FOR THE VIDEOS J P

[@darcybrawataakaontariostac6835]

Nice quick catch of the queen. And those beetle larva were cool

[@anonymousposter6461]

Great video, JP. Love your stuff. So calming. Most of your clients are so jumpy around the bees; it was nice to have another animal lover watch your rescue. Her walking right up next to you to help made me smile. :) You're quite the educator, and I could tell that your client, as an educator herself, appreciated that learning experience. You make me want to be a beekeeper.

[@Dwight6769]

Thanks so much for taking the time to post your adventures with the honeybees; your videos helped to inspire me to get into removals.

I like your helper , she looks like a tough cookie, didn’t show fear at all, she probably make a good beehive care person , no doubt . I like watching your videos.

[@thuffman44]

Awesome video. That was a great looking colony. Amazing how you found that queen so fast and seeing how gentle they were... just fantastic. Thank you for the upload JP.

[@JPthebeeman]

Tim Huffman very lucky to find her so fast, doesn't happen like this very often!

[@thuffman44]

I'm sure Schawee would have said you put that queen on that comb section before you cut it out just so your video would look good... LOL

[@JPthebeeman]

Tim Huffman of course he would! ☺

[@tinalee7177]

JPthebeeman, wonderful video n great partners. After, I finish watching all ur videos in ur channel. I went into others removal bees teams video. There was one that i liked like ur is how they remove them to different location n back, feed them, put new Queens in the no Queen ones n when they want to swarm they know when to put them into bees swarm fabric nets. So cool like urs! Then I saw a video that a man removal bees bt same time killing the bees when hes put the colonies in the bees removal frame box. Thanks for sharing!

JP ( I bet that you wife was wandering what was going on when called and she heard the girls laughing in the back ground. LOL . )

This was one of the most interesting hive removals I’ve seen. Must admit near the end I got distracted by the ground foliage- either poison Ivy or poison oak. Hope I’m wrong - but I’ll be itching in my sleep for days.

[@bigmoe8436]

After all the videos I've watch from you, it still amazes me how calm bees remain even when their home is being torn apart by a loud angry chainsaw. Why the heck do we grow up thinking bees are mean & aggressive?

[@JPthebeeman]

Jerome Humery a lot of it I chalk up to media hype but human nature seems to dictate if it can bite or sting it might be dangerous. A lot of folks hate snakes, believe any dead snake is a good snake, this is so very far from the truth. Many folks refer to bees, wasps, yellow jackets, as simply bees but as we know honey bees are quite different & can only sting one time. This is why I enjoy pulling in the general public when I can to educate them with the realization that honey bees are not pests but very interesting, highly social & beneficial insects.

[@bigmoe8436]

JP, you are truly the Buddha of Bees. Keep preachin' that sweet honey bee gospel my friend!

[@huvadub]

Hey JP.. I got my bees 2 weeks ago, and man they are calm. I actually can take the top of and not get stung or upset them. Thanks for making your vids and sowing me that bee keeping can be fun.

Plot twist: the girl planted the colony so she could meet JP The Bee Man.《In reality though she probably instantly thought of, and recommended him!》

[@mars1952]

I am jealous of how gentle the bees in your area are. Also my dogs used to love to eat grubs.

[@JPthebeeman]

[@NoItsKaycee]

It’s cool seeing how close to me you are, I get to recognize the places you go to! I live on the Gulf Coast of Mississippi. I visit Louisiana pretty often, mainly Houma to visit family. New Orleans a lot too though, we consider Audubon our “local Zoo.”
