They Found This Growing In The Air Ducts...So Amazing

It's another great day in North Alabama with Yappy Beeman. Todays fun is in Rogersville, Alabama where I am removing bees from under an elevated house deck from a wooden boxed area that covered a floor vent on the inside. The bees had been known to be there for about 2 months and by looking at the color of the comb, I would agree. As bees use the comb over time, it becomes darker with use by the bees.
It was a pleasure not only to assist this family with their bee issue but to work with a colony of bees that were in a great mood and didn't get defensive by my actions. Alabama is not in an area to have Africanized bees but a strain of European honey bee genetics that are more suited to be less aggressive when handled.
This hive of bees are great workers. I found they had a good amount of honey stores which was open fed back to them so they could rebuild in a new beehive and get back to being bees.
Big thanks to Kenny and Rosie for letting me come out and help with their bee issue and have a little fun in the process.
I really hope you enjoyed the video and please consider hitting that "liked" button and subscribing for more of my bee removal experiences.
Shout out to my friends @628DirtRooster and @JPthebeeman. Watch out for me and my new Beemobile to fly down and see y'all real soon.
The rehome process consists of collecting the bees into a catch box that does not harm them, removing the comb they use to reproduce bees as well as store food. If the comb can be reused, it is placed in wooden frames and placed in a beehive. If not, they are given resources to rebuild in an apiary ( bee yard) out in the country away from future harm.
I was excited to have been able to catch and show the queen bee in this episode. Queen bees are a bit bigger and longer in body, as well as a little different in color. Without a queen, the hive can not reproduce and will surely die.
Yappy Beeman is a professional bee remover performing live honey bee removals in Alabama as "Alabama Bee Rescue" and relocates them to apiaries away from residential areas so they can rebuild and thrive as a honey bee colony producing honey. Yappy is an Alabama Beekeepers association member that has performed over 1000 live bee removals. Yappy with the help of his great friend and mentor; @Jpthebeeman, a professional beekeeper , has learned many skills to remove bee swarms and honey bee colonies safely for the bees and homeowners alike.

That was a very healthy hive - almost a perfect environment for them!

This just reconfirms my theory that bee's can smell fear.

[@davidmcneil2296]

When you’re fearful, you are erratic, when you are erratic, you anger more bees. You can break it down further than what you said, js.

[@chodeoriki4113]

@@davidmcneil2296 we also release pheromones just like the bees do. Could be part of it too.

Amazing the queen bee just walks right up on your hand. No stings.

[@SLE695]

It's funny how he sticks his hand into the hive like "yeah, just another day"

[@charlesherrera1633]

I just came across your videos. I am allergic to bee's so I hated them. After watching your videos am still afraid but I understand them better and don't hate them anymore. Thank you for the knowledge and entertainment.

[@bessiedragonis629]

So glad you don't hate/fear bees anymore... I too used to be sooooo afraid of 🐝bees... but I can blame that on the stigma/reputation that cartoons/tv always made 🐝bees out to be angry & want to always sting us humans for no particular reason. Bees🐝 are harmless & will leave you alone if you don't bother them. I now love love love bees & are so fascinated about our furry 🐝 bee friends that pollinates & we can't lose our bees friends as w/any other insect that pollinates... We lose our insect that pollinate then we lose the majority of our fruits & vegetables especially our bees because they produce honey which is so healthy for us... I honestly believe that it should be against the law to destroy bees there are other alternative safe ways to remove a beehive & put the hive into the woods or call THE BEE MAN WHO IS YAPPY BEE MAN AND IT'S A DONE DEAL! 🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝

[@person65535]

@@bessiedragonis629 You're mostly right but bees aren't universally peaceful. The bees you're thinking of certainly don't go out of their way to sting people even near their hives as they simply want to go about their task. There are also aggressive hives filled with bees that perceive anything even remotely close to their hive as a threat and have up to 10x more bees attacking *perceived* threats. Hot hives can be quite dangerous because of potential allergies to bees but they've even killed a very small amount of people unfortunate enough to get close just by sheer quantity of stings. Hot hives *should* only be kept in closed off areas far from people but there'd still be a slim chance people could hike/walk close enough to be in danger although unless someone is allergic they'd usually be fine other than the pain of a few stings. In rare cases some africanized bees perceive threats from more than the average distance to their hive (which is 100 feet) and have even chased people up to 1 mile/1.6 km from their hive (up to .25 mi/.4 km is normal). It's usually possible to eventually make these hives more passive by requeening but I've also heard of a couple extremely rare situations where they refuse to accept any queen that isn't aggressive even if proper procedures are followed. In the absolute worst case euthanizing a hive is the best thing you can do for both our safety and for that of bees that aren't unreasonably aggressive. I recommend watching this youtube video; /watch?v=O4ldpyIE5t4 These are rare situations but there are other factors determining how aggressive bees are. These factors also make it harder for less experienced beekeepers to tell if a hive truly is hot. Location and time of year are the two major factors in the vast majority of hives. In the fall bees will always be at least slightly more aggressive since they're more protective when preparing for winter. If you happen upon a bee in winter you're almost certainly very close to their hive and very likely to get stung. The same reason season matters is also a big reason why location matters. Less forage = more aggressive bees. A hive that's hot in one area could be completely peaceful in another. Predators are the other reason location matters which is why African bees are much more hostile. Arizona is one of the worst places for beekeeping or just being around bees in general. Barely any forage and the majority of hives there are africanized since they drove out nearly all the European bees for the sake of foraging. It's a bit late but if you aren't aware honey bees aren't native to North America at all. European bees were imported centuries ago and are typically very peaceful. In the 1950s African bees were brought to Brazil and interbred with European bees (hence africanized bees) in an attempt to combine the passive nature of EU bees with the African bees' ability to produce more honey. In the end they were still more hostile, genetically superior to EU honey bees in terms of survival, and were better pollinators. They escaped quarantine and have been spreading across South America ever since. By 1985 they made it to North America and are rapidly becoming more common. They're still very important of course but they're also an annoying not so friendly invasive species.

[@rickwells5624]

It blows my mind how you don't get attacked by them. Especially when your opening things up. Noise and vibration I would think would be enough to set them off. I worked for a guy some 40 years ago that had several hives and he didn't wear gear and seldom got stung. I got stung just looking at them lol Coolest thing I ever did though was put a drop of honey on my hand and awhile later I was covered in bees up to my elbow. Only got stung once during that. Bees truly are remarkable little creatures.
