JPthebeeman Gets "Owned" By Ninja Hackberry Queen!

JPthebeeman Gets "Owned" By Ninja Hackberry Queen!
Hackberry trees as a rule are junk trees, at least that's what I've heard as far as I can remember. They're weak trees & one of the first to fall over in stormy , windy weather.
The Hackberry tree featured in this video was in bad shape & leaning terribly towards a large apartment complex in Metairie, Louisiana.
The tree had to come down & that meant the bees had to come out of the tree, so I worked with the tree company & Big John aka Big Bad John the crane operator, to safely remove the bees.
The queen gave me the slip folks, try as I might I just couldn't spot her, during the removal process.
The next day though I was graced with her royal presence, win/win.
This colony went to my good friend Schawee & placed in his apiary in Gonzales, Louisiana.
He gave them more frames of capped brood & bees to boost their numbers.
He said they are doing fine.
JP is a beekeeper & live bee removal specialist located near New Orleans, Louisiana.
He will go just about anywhere to fool with bees.

You sounded so defeated when you couldn't find the queen, it broke my heart. I was so glad when you did find her! 🎉🎉

[@JPthebeeman]

Yep, she owned my fat butt! Lol Was very excited to find her in there the next morning. 👍🐝

JP I'm sixty years old and know nothing about bees but after watching a couple of your videos I'm learning fast. Thank You Larry

[@petert3355]

I'm learning too. Learning to leave the little blighters alone and call in JP.

[@kimberlyjeanne9456]

I know it’s weird, it makes me wanna do it even thought I’ve always been scared of them lol

[@nylafagan7439]

My father was a beekeeper, I wish he could see you working with just your bear hands and no veil. I love you man, you rock!

[@simonesays722]

You work so carefully and patiently. It’s clear you love what you do and you were born to work with bees! Love your videos so much.

[@KevinP32270]

no matter how many times i see your videos it still blows my mind THAT YOU HAVE NO BEE SPACE SUITE ON lololol....you are amazing.

[@desertegle40cal]

We could never do that in florida. We always have suits on when inspecting new hives on a call. Not so much when we inspect out own hives though. But on more than one occasion I have run into Africanized honey bees and if I didn’t have a suit on during my first inspection I would have gotten lit up. I mean they attack and stick to you like yellow jackets. Usually when a colony is disturbed they become a little agitated and they may send out a few workers to deal with you. Keepers combat this by smoking them, which forces them to gorge on honey and forget the threat. But when you disturb a Africanized colony they send out like half the hive and smoke never works.. At least for me. They do this because of their African ancestry. In Africa, honey bees don’t experience winters like we do here or other places around the world like in Europe where all honey bees came from. Because of this they don’t make and store honey in the great amounts we see in normal hives because they don’t need to stock food for winter. So the food they do have they protect vigorously. Sometimes sending out over half the hive to attack any would be honey thief’s. :-)

Nothing like a Peek a Boo Queen, I am glad she made it with her hive. But it is always nice to know you have a back up plan for when a Queen does not make it, or one is not there.

I wonder how often there's unfortunate casualties with the queen. Even when you're as caredul as you can be, accidents sadly do happen.

I never would have guessed that it took so much effort to have a bee colony. I figured they do just fine in the wild all a bee keeper does is keep their hive in a box and give them plants to collect from. Thanks for the insight JP

[@bobwebber8521]

In this situation I combined two boxes with a queen excluder and a couple of sheets of newspaper in between them and the bees ate through the paper while exchanging pheromones and they were quite happy with this situation ( I could not find a queen in the top box, and it turned out there was none. Great video.

[@ianmackintosh7278]

Great job and video JP, how many stings did you get on this job? Thanks for confirming my thoughts that the queen would turn up the next day, they can be very hard to spot when cover with workers trying to protect her. Again thanks for your time.

[@JPthebeeman]

This wasn’t a big colony numbers wise, they were very gentle. Don’t believe I received any stings during the process. ✌️🐝

Great advice. I started with intentions for 3 hives. Hive #2 I screwed up and inadvertently bought a package from your area and the package was hot. Get within 20 yards and they go after you. Ordered a queen last year and took 2 brood frames from strong hive 1 to create hive 3. So two hives for 1st year. Hive 2 is empty and hoping still for a swarm or tree cut out. Word is getting out.
