You taught me something. I had an experience at a Mississippi Rest Stop over Thanksgiving holiday. I was waiting for my husband on a bench and this little bee decided to land on my knee. A few years ago I would've swatted her away, but after watching you and Dirt Rooster, Jeff and Yappy work with bees, I decided to let her be. She hung out on my knee long enough to clean herself, rest and walk around on my knee for a while and then she flew off. Best, most enlightening experience of my life! Thanks JP and Fellas for the lesson.

I love how patient you are at explaining things to people

[@MrWharfrat05]

I knew my life felt empty, but I just couldn’t put my finger on why. Now I know: lack of JP the bee man videos. Glad to have you back 👍

[@christiroseify]

I have been binge watching your videos for 2 days... There's something oddly soothing about watching you work almost in unison with the bees. Thank you and God Bless

[@makeitkate3240]

I'm always glad to see a new video from my favorite bee man. It's been a rough few days, so it was good to see a nice calming video from you again. Keep them coming if you can!

[@JPthebeeman]

Make It Kate I will & thank you for your kind words!

[@acadenajr64]

Welcome back JP

[@joanlittle3899]

I think you are wonderful to take care of those Bee at winter. You make me think how great you are for those Bees Thanks again Joan.

[@thuffman44]

Awesome video JP. Appreciate your time for editing and putting this together for us to watch. Really cool. Happy beekeeping my friend 🐝🐝🐝☮️

Really glad the videos are back; I love watching them.

[@JPthebeeman]

Alijah Farris thank you!

[@amindofiron]

Good to see you back. I was starting to worry you'd given up on the channel. This was a great video, keep up the good work.

[@JPthebeeman]

amindofiron it’s been kind of rough the last two years, medical issues & stuff. I’m hoping I’m done with the medical issues & life can get back to normal. 🐝🐝🐝

[@deborahmartin9682]

I love the way you patiently educate. I would buy the book, should you write it!🐝💕

[@roystone5369]

dude you are truly the bee man keeper of all bees you are so professional with every extraction. thanks for putting it out there to everyone on video. i have never been a bee keeper but i love honey and i am going to be soon with many many acres of meadow land in Oregon. i have watched almost all your videos and feel i can do it like you being as one with the bees. i am sure i will be stung many times during learning but i will still respect and hopefully will become a master like you thanks for love of the bee.

[@mirawind9126]

Thank you JP! Your videos are so inspiring and because of your confidence and love of these creatures I've gotten to start teaching people up here in the PNW about bees!

[@JPthebeeman]

Mira Wind 👍🤘🐝

[@faliciastephens2702]

I loved this video. I laughed when he said.. you had big balls and you said… or I just know what I’m doing 😂😂😂😂 you was giving years of knowledge on this video. Thank you so much . I felt like I was there too. Loved it.

[@JPthebeeman]

✌️🐝✌️

[@livefree810]

J P I'm still watching and enjoying your videos over and over, LOL come back ,,soon

[@cecoya]

You are teaching as you remove the bees and it is a great thing to be able to learn about the bees. Never knew bees. I find it interesting that they build the combs about the same thickness each time and they get on either side of it. Have a great day

[@bchains]

JPs back baby!

[@craiggybear1807]

Was getting worried about you man. Great to see you uploading again. :)

[@killerman19880385]

Good to see you've been posting videos up again. I really enjoy your content.

[@JPthebeeman]

killerman19880385 thank you!

[@crakilldurmom]

JP, your videos are my favorite thing to watch while drinking my coffee on the weekend. Thanks man.

[@JPthebeeman]

Heliarc Bloodbath I could use some coffee right now. 👍☕️🐝

[@crakilldurmom]

Yeah buddy. Today was a half pot kinda morning. Work kicked my butt this week so this morning was slow moving.

[@sabrinafelber]

Love it JP! Such a job at putting the homeowner at ease with bees if they come back he will call! Another satisfied customer!

[@RedTSquared]

Good God, you've been gone too long!!!! Glad your back!

[@JPthebeeman]

RedTSquared lol, thanks for your feedback! 🐝🐝🐝

[@kckrye]

JP, Brotha I missed your youtube videos! A nice anxiety calming past time of mine. :)

[@JPthebeeman]

kckrye thanks for being patient, I know it’s been a while! 👍🐝🐝🐝

[@zalmaflash]

Thanks JP, I enjoy all of your videos.

[@Tristan-sv3zo]

I Have a love hate relationship with bees because I was stung a couple of times for no reason. But I have love for them and I like the idea of relocating them instead of killing them. That's amazing

[@greenecrayon]

I absolutely love how you are always willing to educate while you work

[@richardgrumpywelsh2485]

J P you are as lucky as Mr Ed this was a great video thanks for showing

[@MansfieldPestControl]

Great to see your back on it..... I removed my first 2018 2 days ago from a chimney here in cold Nottingham UK, we also had a coating of snow today.

[@JuanGuerra-tl9wx]

Thanks for your videos

[@JPthebeeman]

Juan Guerra you’re very welcome, thanks for tuning in!

[@PJMDS]

Thanks for keeping up with such nice bee videos, much appreciated.

[@Kryochrysalis]

Loving your 411 dialogue w/ the customers & your honey bee rescue activities! Look forward to seeing you when we're all eating applesauce & using canes to beekeep, lol.

[@JPthebeeman]

Kryochrysalis gotta spread the bee love mate. 👍🐝🐝🐝

[@dougfolkerth3622]

You always post on removals. How about posting what you do when you get back to the Bee yard? How many hives do you have? What do you do with all the unused comb? What do you do with the harvested honey? What do you do with your bee yard honey? How do you process all that you harvest? Love the Vid's

[@wespuckdog3897]

[@628DirtRooster]

Cool intro! Nice work. 2016? Seems like its been that long since your last upload. ;)

[@JPthebeeman]

628DirtRooster I’m sure you have footage of your own that have cobwebs growing on it. ☺️ Hopefully will start putting them out more regularly. How you doing man?

[@628DirtRooster]

Dude I've got footage so old it looks like I was going through puberty when I shot it.

[@JPthebeeman]

628DirtRooster I figured you were about a year or two from puberty, you must be older than you look. 🤪

[@628DirtRooster]

Heck I think I'm right behind you. It's all the Chinese food that keeps me young looking.

[@pamelaflirtyskunk7698]

Hahahaha! You two and your banter never fail to make me laugh. So I now know the secret to eternal youth... Chinese cuisine! 😂

[@billramsay2892]

Great job I certainly enjoy watching your videos.

[@randyrejer4219]

Good to see ya again.

[@YappyBeeman]

Great to see the new video. I missed me some Cajun Santa Claus vids.

[@JPthebeeman]

Yappy Beeman you see that guy in the beginning of the intro getting his face diddled? Looks familiar huh? 😜

[@YappyBeeman]

Yep.....I laughed when I saw that. I remember that job....and you still ain't right for doing that. Just say'n.

[@JPthebeeman]

Yappy Beeman now you know why I did it. 🤪

[@MsDaddyrabbit1]

Excellent as always

[@markbarnhill6300]

Good to see ya ole man!

[@idahodeerhunter]

glad your back! good vid man

[@MsAnimeNut]

Just love watching your bee videos! Thanks for doing them. Wondered if you saved that old comb for its wax for candles.

[@JPthebeeman]

Bailey C that old comb usually doesn’t amount to a whole bunch of good wax without having to filter the crap out of it!

[@wcweaverjr]

Great job!! Would have loved to have seen a shot of them when you came back to pick them up.

[@frankgumabon7721]

Such a hotdog 😂 likes to talk!

[@prkrngr27]

The best quote of the video..."that was my fault." This was when he got stung. If more people would realize Bees don't mean you harm....Just don't swat at them. Then damn....this would be a great world.

[@JPthebeeman]

Dusty Janssen good catch! Amazed you heard me correctly & understood where I was coming from. 👍🐝🐝🐝

[@debbiemaccabe1929]

Give a 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻. To let them know you like there videos

[@RustyNail5856]

Awesome video JP. nice to see you again, been awhile. iam still in Florida, I hope to be back in Robert , la soon. I still would like to meet up with then. I would like to build my self a hobby bee farm then. with your help. you take care . or bee careful . lol

[@pamelaflirtyskunk7698]

Hi again JP! Could you explain in more detail how the bees cocoons cause the comb to become shallow? I'm not understanding the correlation between the cocoons for metamorphosis cause the comb thinning. Thank you! 🐝

[@JPthebeeman]

Pamela Schramke bees can’t completely remove cocoons from brood cells. Over time the cells develop a surplus of cocoons. This continuous build up renders brood cells thicker & in time more shallow.

[@rougaroubeecompany6948]

Hey man what you do with the queen cells when you do a removal?

[@karlsmith575]

Hi there JP thanks for the video for Karlie in Africa save the bees :)

[@JPthebeeman]

Karl Smith the bees I routinely deal with are likely much nicer than the ones in your area albeit there are tons of Beekeepers who keep Africanized honey bees. You do what you must. Thanks for watching & your feedback is appreciated! 👍🐝🐝🐝

Karl Breeman you live in such a beautiful country, would love to visit one day. 👍🐝🐝🐝

[@Open2OpenUT]

That was one sorry looking hive, looks like someone messed with it at some stage.

[@raymondward4796]

How could the numbers diminish down to just a fraction of the massive hive size?

[@santoshsunny9479]

👍

[@rainjuice5774]

GOT THE QUEEN!!!!!

[@edymtzg]

What about friend, I greet you from Monterrey Mexico, my question is; how do you work with bees that are very aggressive; like African or Africanized bees?

[@joeditta4032]

What do you charge for a bee removal what’s about the normal charge

[@lorrieruff4402]

Did you get them a new queen or did she do well after you settled them to there new home where the food was plentiful? seems I like bees more than I thought.

[@JPthebeeman]

Lorrie Ruff I really don’t recall what transpired with this colony but because their numbers were so pitiful I’m sure I gave them more numbers so they could try to make a go of it. That’s what I normally do with small colonies.

[@rodneyscown7166]

nice :)

[@waltzingbeesapiary3802]

Welcome back...missed your videos. Always entertaining and informative. I would be remiss though if I didn't comment on the guy shooting the swarm off the tree. This is one of the stupidest things I think I have seen someone do. Does he not realize that the bullet he shot travels on, and could possibly hit someone far from the swarm site and could be hurt. Again, just a little rant... Enjoyed the rest of the video though, and have learned alot from your videos. Between you, Dirtrooster and Mr Ed, I have learned so much about bees and the care of bees. Thank you.

[@JPthebeeman]

Waltzing Bees that was in the country, the middle of nowhere, next House was maybe several miles away. Safety first 😉

[@estreya7370]

I had the same reaction to that moment that you did, Waltzing Bees ... to me, it's bad behavior, whether it was in the middle of somewhere, or the middle of nowhere. But it's so great to see JP back that i'm going to recommend the video anyway ... i hesitated though. :)

[@estreya7370]

Finally had a chunk of time so i could watch the video in full. Oh, JP - i've been missing you so much! It feels like a gift to beekeepers, bees, and everyone in between that you've put together this video. Thanks, JP - may 2018 be a better year for us all ...

[@JPthebeeman]

estreya 👍🐝🐝🐝

[@isabo3556]

Hello JP. Yesterday I found a bee inside my home. It was the second bee in a week. And it's winter now. It's freezing at night and just above freezing during the day. So they must be in the wall. Now, I have checked my walls but can't see other bees. How do I know where they might be? Btw. you can't come and look for I live in Europe.

[@JPthebeeman]

Isa Bo if you provide the plane ticket I’ll be there! 😉 Wait until it warms up & check the exterior for signs of activity or you can have someone come out who has a thermal imager.

[@isabo3556]

Thank you, I will. Must say I have noticed a lot of bumble bees last spring and summer goïng in and out some holes in the brick wall. But no normal bees. Thanks for making videos. They really helped me get over my fear of bees. I was able to catch the last one my self. A few years ago I would scream and leave.

[@richardgrumpywelsh2485]

It is nice o haave a helper to watch if nothing elce. Not very many bees in this hive. The next one will be better. The guy that brings the bees to Alaska has a bunch of hives, he stored them in a tempered storage area this winter and most of them made it this far

[@JPthebeeman]

Richard *Grumpy* Welsh yeah, tiny colony, not all are “yuge.” ☺️

[@SaucysCreativeCrochet]

In one of my questions before you stated that the bees become loyal to their queen. In this video being that it's a small colony and you are going to introduce more bees to it how does that happen if they are loyal to another queen? Won't they find their way back to their queen or fight with the new colony?

[@JPthebeeman]

Saucy The Traveling Towboat Chef it’s a numbers game. If a queenright colony needs more bees they generally yield. If they are queenless they want a queen.

[@SaucysCreativeCrochet]

Ok thank you 😊

Queen cells are much larger & shaped like peanuts in the shell.

[@jdshenanigans9265]

Another great video . Did any one spray them i wasn't Shure if that was a pile of dead bees in the bottom of the wall hard to make out in video

[@JPthebeeman]

John Dickenson so not 100% certain anyone sprayed them but the consensus was that they were not sprayed. Bees that get inside of a building go to a light source such as a window & it’s common to find them piled up on the window sill. They get very stressed when they get inside of a building & usually die within 24 hours.

[@SlugLamer]

let's stand in front of the camera to take pictures with the phone... *facepalm* - video is still good tho

worksmartpaul did you know that in “Whale Wars” they would throw balloons filled with butyric acid onboard the whaling vessels? That stuff is in a few bee repellents, horrible, stinky products that are extreme eye irritants!

[@worksmartpaul]
