Can Honey Bees Really Do All This In 3 Days?

We get these sort of calls more often than you might think. "I just noticed the bees, no way they've been there more than a few days.
In this video meet Dave Goodman, who was very much under the impression that the honey bee colony that took up residence in his bay window had been there no longer than 3 days!
After all Dave had recently been in that area cutting his grass & didn't notice any bee activity.
Come along on this one as Dave & I share some laughs & safely remove his bee hive from the rear of his home in New Orleans, Louisiana.

*"Bees only attack if they feel threatened or their hive is threatened"* JP: Violently shakes a hive comb Bees: Y'all feel sumn

[@ulibarriL]

It's just so weird. I've seen videos where bees go nuts when someone just looked at the hive wrong. Here's the kicker. This hive was never truly threatened. This guy basically did their whole migration process for them, while also keeping a lot of brood intact. It's like they knew his intentions were good and only got stung by a few who opposed the majority vote to not kill the guy.

[@LyricTroll]

@@ulibarriL It all depends on the species of bees, the state of the hive and what time of year it is

[@The_Keeper]

KZbin recommended a beekeeping video out of the blue and now I'm hooked! How do you just sit there without a suit on and not get stung? It's almost like they think you're one of them. That's incredible!

[@Thescienceguyonafly]

I typically don't use gloves or a veil when I go into my hives...even going to check hives I don't know i don't. Now, closing them up to move them, I have started to use a veil after a couple of wild hives. Bees are pretty chill most of the time and are too focused on surviving and making honey to want to sting you.

A friend kept a top bar hive on her condo deck. I thought she’d have terrible luck. Nope they did great. Even having to move them for a day when the condo association painted her railing. I love my bees. I’m again going to buy 2 packages with a “queen and attendants”. My bees didn’t make it over winter. I keep trying. I’ve met neighbors who know that my bees are feeding in their yards. It’s so cool. Good luck to you.

It is amazing what bees can do in just a short amount of time given the right circumstances. Thanks for sharing.

Looking at the last few combs which were already quite dark: The hive must have been there for a while. Possibly a year. The homeowner probably just didn't realise it, because firs tthey were rather small and thus didn't really bother him.

Wonderful to see a calm approach to rehousing the bees and people not just calling the pest exterminator. Our bees are in trouble and we need to save and care for as many hives as possible. Also good to see no Varrora mite infestation. We’ve managed to keep them out of Australia so far. Our hives took a bad hit with the bushfires. Hopefully we will be able to increase our hive numbers back up in the future.
