Massive Honey Bee Hive Found In A Wrecked Train Car

Massive Honey Bee Hive Found In A Wrecked Rail Car
Todays fun begins in Decatur, Alabama where A massive beehive was found in a demolished rail car. The car was involved in a train wreck many years ago and the honey bees decided it would be a great spot to call home. They have done a great job growing over the years but they finally have become a problem and must go. So, OCI Decatur called Yappy Beeman to the rescue.
About 7 years ago, I had an idea on how to remove bees from trees without having to cut them open. This process involved using smoke in combination with HoneyBgone to force the bees out of the tree. This method became known as a Forced Abscond in the beekeeping circles. Many have since picked up on this method and used it in removing bees. I hope by watching it helps to give some " how to forced abscond" help. This was the case when I was called to remove the bees from the Train car destroyed in a railway disaster.
In this video, I used my Colorado Bee Vac to help force air into the void cavity and push the smoke further into the bees nest. therefore causing the bees to exit and be captured.
All went well as seen in the bee removal video of my forced abscond. We captured well into the 6-7 lbs of bees and a beautiful tiger striped queen. They are rebuilding great and should recover to continue producing honey next year for YappyBeeman .
Thanks for checking out the video and hope to see ya again soon.
Special thanks to the great folks at blythewoodbeecompany.com/ for sending me 5 gallons of HoneyBgone. When I mentioned I was getting bees out of a train car they went big!

Every time I watch a video about removing bees like this I am reminded that honey bees are a valuable species to our environment and are unfortunately disappearing at an alarming rate.

I'm trying to retrain my brain to become part of the solution.

Get yourself a couple of horizontal hives and move the next two swarms into them. Literally moving them out of the mental category "feral or pest" into the mental category "valuable livestock."

most of us have been turned against bees as a result of similar-looking species like wasps and hornets. Most people won't ever have a bad encounter with a honey bee.

@@ashurean. This past growing season has actually be very good as far as managing wasps and bees. We've got over 100 different plant species in the garden now including a few different wild flowers and there has been an increase in the amount of wild bees around the property but there has also been a significant decrease in the wasp population too. The natural pollinators help the garden and the garden helps the natural pollinators, plus the native bird population has seen a significant increase this year.

[@prvatenbody8805]

Late but, when people talk about bees dying, they’re mostly talk about solitary bees which do not have a hive and therefore do not produce honey. They’re more widespread and more efficient at pollinating though. But since they don’t have much commercial value, they’re mostly brushed aside.

[@YappyBeeman]

I may have jumped the gun. I should have asked if you watched ro the end to see the bees released but in your defense, I don't recall if I actually showed them going into a hive or just the mass amount of bees. Either way, you deserve my apologies and to answer the original question properly, I did not kill the bees. This company called me because I have the experience to remove them live and rehome them without killing them. In this situation it was one of the more difficult removals I've ever done but thankfully it went as planned. In my area we don't have africanized genetics to deal with so our state does not require that feral colonies be exterminated when found. Some southern border states actually do unfortunately. Thank you for the comments. I'm not above correction in my replies or my disrespect when appropriate. Also, the vac is specifically designed to not kill bees. A shop vac would kill them. This setup does not.
