Removing Bees From A Cellphone Tower On A Rainy Day

This colony of bees was about 3 times larger than what I anticipated it would be, really nice open air colony!
Biggest rat snake I've ever seen seemed to be guarding the tower. I got up close & personal with him but he wasn't in a playful mood, at all!
He looked like he was about to shed & if you know anything about snakes, it's that they don't like to be messed with when they're about to shed. So of course I had to touch him, have to confess it was a bit of a challenge.
Once I touched him he immediately went into strike mode but I wasn't about to let him succeed in that capacity, no sir!
Most of this video was filmed with a GoPro Hero 7 camera courtesy of my good buddy Yappy Bee Man, check out his youtube channel if you have the opportunity, you won't be disappointed!
Yappy & I traded cameras & I wound up with one I could put to good use.
Included in this video are 3 different inspections that chronicle the colony's progress over a 3 week period.
The bee vac I helped test & design is the Colorado Bee Vac which can be purchased at www.coloradobe...

Thank you for being here & have a great day, cause you know I am!

Five minutes in and I LOVE this video! The song, the snake, the special effects on the voice . . . Great job, JP! EDIT: You got me good! I was already thinking that's too many snakes and I'd quit if it were my job to go in there. !!!!

[@FebbieG]

My 4 year old specifically requested a JP the Bee Man video, and loved the jump scare, even had me pause to talk about how funny it was.

[@doloresm7396]

Phew! Ok, hearts back in my chest. I think you chose the perfect profession, I don't think I've ever witnessed someone so cool, calm and collected. I also believe you have the patience of a Saint. Must be nice to have that demeanor, I wouldn't know.

[@0427blsheffield]

JP, I don’t know why I find your videos so fascinating. I am so entranced . Your handling of the bees and your explanations are so amazing. Your ability to spot the queen is really something ( I can never spot the Queen). The minute I saw that snake, I would have been out. If there were any type of rodent ( I hate any times of rodents, PERIOD ), the bees would still be there. Well done.

[@naerwyn239]

Thanks for another video to help me make it through the day. I truly appreciate it, and I'm sure so many others do, too.

[@mikeyoungblood1706]

Anyone that can work a wild bee colony during a rainstorm and nor get eaten alive is truly a bee whisperer !!

[@markmurphy8303]

Thank you JP, fantastic job on the cutout mate and it’s so nice we get to see them thriving in their new 10 frame set up. And yes you got us with your cat friend jumping out on us like that. Thank you JP for sharing your vlog with us my friend.

[@DkOmbres]

Taking note, don't drink anything while watching JP's videos now. I need to take my keyboard apart and clean coffee out of it. Also, anyone that doesn't watch the videos fully and assumes anything of the nature of harm really needs to remember the old saying, "To assume without facts shows ignorance." JP would never harm a bee if he can help it. He does everything he can to help them thrive a in a good life.

[@Ms1lonewolf]

JP the bee whisperer. Your the only Beeman I watch. Your so gentle with those bee's it's really cool 👍. Thank you for saving the bee's. 😎🇺🇸🌴 FLORIDA.

She felt so bad, said she didn’t see the Queen on the windshield. I told her that Queen could lay 2000 or so eggs a day. She was still sad the whole day. We love are bees 🐝 ❤️

[@lostusaslambus]

Bee related, in about November we went to a birthday party. The weather was pretty good but most of the flowers had faded. I had on a dress a pattern of yellow flowers. I kept having bees land on my dress and lick the "flowers." XD I let them lick the left over applesauce from my daughter's snack. I was wondering where all these friendly european honeybees came from and then I looked up and two yards over was a hive and a guy in a bee suit. Ha! It was a lovely experience.

[@JPthebeeman]

[@tarabudau251]

You are a naughty beekeeper! Scared the bejesus out of me you did. 🤤Was not expecting that. Got my nose right up to the screen on my phone and then my phone goes flying.

Hi jp. We used to have rattlers around my house. Lol. 🐝n awhile since I have watched your vlog. I miss my girls. They were nice and calm. I was able to mow the yard and and pass by them (within 5) feet. I had to sell them at the time, thought I was going to move 😪.

Get you some more! 👍🐝

[@ScottBub]

Wow. That was very unexpected. You totally got me to jump and I’m usually not able to be scared.

[@Brianbeesandbikes]

A different approach is to keep bees on their brood comb, vac at the end for returned field bees. Thin long filet knife makes slicing comb easy peasy.

[@stingrayofcincinnati]

[Sorry for the weird question] Since Bees communicate through scent, should beekeepers/catchers use deodorant or shampoo that has a scent?

[@JPthebeeman]

One of the ways they communicate is with scents yes, but they may or may not like a particular scent. This is why I use unscented deodorant & rarely ever wear cologne.
