Top Five Most Massive Bee Hives

These are five of the largest bee hives I have removed & relocated.
A large colony of honey bees can contain anywhere from 30,000-50,000 bees.
They sometimes can get upwards of 100,000 individuals!
All of these colonies you see in this video were located in New Orleans, Louisiana with the exception of the first one which was located near Port Sulphur, Louisiana.
JP the bee man is a live honey bee removal specialist who will go just about anywhere for bee work but resides in Metairie, Louisiana.
JP is on facebook, instagram & twitter as JPthebeeman.

Bee suit is for bees not humans. Beekeeper do not want them to be killed by accident.

[@somewherehere424]

Xarai They are calm honey bees, vital for pollination of crops qnd flowers. Do you think they would chose to die when he treats them with respect, stupid flapping around like a crazy thing cos they might be horrific 'killer bees' is what makes even the most docile bee unhappy and liable to sting.

JP, Good evening. My name is Clodoaldo, I'm a beekeeper here in Brazil, I have few hives yet, around 80 hives, I also love ad bees, in the end I only know who works with them. I want to congratulate you on your work, I always follow KZbin. I am impressed by the size of the swarms there in the USA. Here in Brazil our swarms do not reach this proportion, and are very defensive. Congratulations and a big hug.

[@tealkerberus748]

Clodoaldo Maina the domesticated bees have been selectively bred for less fighting, more work. If you can introduce some good gentle queens - making sure they're not introducing any parasites or diseases! - you'll be able to have gentle, hardworking bees too. They still fight enough to protect themselves from predators. They're just not crazy aggressive any more.

[@rayopeongo]

@@shvaix2415 They can't stay where they are, so they have to go, one way or another. Either JP comes along, removes them humanely and gives them a new, safe home, or an exterminator comes along and kills them all. I think this is the better way to go.

Fascinating, my Grandfather use to keep bees in the windbreak on our farm in the 50’s and 60’s. He worn a beekeeper hat with the netting and used a smoker. Would never go watch as I thought I might get stung. He would always share the honey in the wax comb wit us and the family. Wonderful memory!

[@soniahumphrey8291]

WOW! Those were some gigantic hives! I had a swarm at my apartment once on the back patio. They made their hive between two bushes. They formed what looked like 2 footballs. The bee guy came out and removed them. He said a new queen bee was born and she had to leave her hive and start a new one. I was able to watch the process from the safety of my bedroom. He removed them just like you did. Couldn't understand him not wearing the full on safety suit, just like you. He did get stung once or twice, didn't even flinch! I'm allergic to insect bites so I was freaking out. The bee guy said he was going to take them out in the country where it was safe.

[@evelyn_r]

I feel jealous, here in the western suburbs of Melbourne, I have only seen a swarm once and even though we get bees coming to visit every warm day, we don’t see hives at all. Thanks to shoes like yours I was brave enough to walk within 2m of the bee swarm and once I determined that they were chill with me there, I brought my son over to see them, which he loved. We didn’t get any closer as I didn’t want to accidentally step on them as with the vegetation, it was harder to see where they fell. Lol they were a bit clumsy

[@tealkerberus748]

Evelyn Rojas if you're in the suburbs and have a back yard, can you keep a couple of hives there? I'm in rural Victoria, and my bees are flourishing this year! And yes, a new swarm is very placid, and if you can get them into a hive box while they're still carrying plenty of stores, they will get right on with being happy bees. They're lovely!

Largest bee hive I ever seen and removed was at Ngcobo Baptist Church, the hive was was under their backroom floor.. the largest center comb was about 1 meter wide and hanged about 900mm down.. I had to cut that comb 3 times.. the total honey Combs we took out there was 2 large washing basins full. I would guess around 70kg.. I should have documented that hive.. but you know how it goes... 😀
