She Found This In Her Tree And Immediately Called Me
Here I am at it again having my own fun with honey bees.
In this episode, I get a call from a homeowner in Gadsden, Alabama that heard a loud noise and went outside to find a huge swarm of bees had landed in a small tree in her yard. When I got there, they said they actually had swarms. The other was way up in another tree. As I looked at the second swarm I realized that it actually wasn't a swarm, but where the other had came from. How cool it was to find an actual bee tree thriving in nature and to capture a swarm from it.
After getting all my gear ready to capture the swarm and set them up to move to my apiary ( bee yard) I started to do my normal temperament test and they quickly let me know they were not in a good mood. Swarms generally are very docile as they are not really protecting their hive like when they were in the original location about 50 ft away. but today, these ladies were very on edge. So I put a little smoke to them and they calmed down very nicely. Smoke is used to break their communication pheromones' that can be used to "attack" what they feel is a threat to them. Although they didn't jump right on me, they let me know fast they didn't like me being there.
Once they settled down, the fun of finding the queen bee was my next priority. When catching swarms, if she can be caught and caged, it makes controlling the rest easy. They follow her and also won't leave her. So caging her helps to lock them to a hive that I give them to get started over.
She was a pretty sneaky lady. I saw her a few times but never had a safe chance to capture her. At some point she slipped into the hive and it took a little bit to find her but she finally stepped into view and gave up the fight.
I let the bees settle in to the new box and went back later that night and carried them to a location where they could go back to being bees and rebuild a new home for their momma queen.
this colony of bees is still doing great. by 2022 they will be producing honey that I can share with family and friends and hopefully split into more colonies.
Thanks for stopping by and watch for new episodes to come soon. I have a really cool direction the channel is going and I look forward to sharing some awesome bee adventures with you again.

I just stumbled on this video, as an experienced beekeeper myself its a pleasure to see someone handling bees without the drama that is so prevalent in so many youtube videos today. I was curious as to how this video was going to go and I stuck through to the end. I recognized that you knew the bees were on edge when you approached them for the first time as many of them were leaving the swarm rapidly flying around the camera, and you backed off which was the prudent thing to do before the aggression accelerated. The judicious use of smoke neither too much or too little is the tool of choice for handling bees for establishing control with the least amount of upset to the colony. It actually calms the bees down so you can handle bees with your hands, the bees didn't aggressively attack you when you had them in your hand. At first I thought they maybe an africanized hybrid which will act like that even before you disturb them, Iv'e seen many like that in Florida and although they calmed down and you could hive them I would still be monitoring their tempermant after they are established in your yard. Just saying.. I wouldn't have done anything different in this whole process if I were doing it myself. Anyway its great to see a professional at work, youtube is great for that these days, I try to tune in to professionals in whatever craft they are in. Good video. Cheers!

[@DarthVader-lt4zw]

I see a lot of comments about people saying "Nope" or asking how he can use his bare hands. As long as you remain calm, and the bee's do not perceive you as a threat, they're chill. Smoking helps, but mostly it's your actions. If your movements/touches are made in a way to not harm or show intent of harm to the hive, they won't attack you. You're basically just another 'tree branch' for them to grab hold of, that just happens to move.

[@oliverzwatermelongum]

what does the smoke do? what even is that?

[@DarthVader-lt4zw]

@@oliverzwatermelongum The smoke beekeepers use can come from a variety of fuels such as burlap, pine needles, wood pellets, twigs, or cardboard. The role of smoke is to calm bees, therefore you should never use synthetic materials or paper that’s been bleached as it can irritate the bees. Most people think smoke makes bees “sleepy.” This isn’t exactly accurate. The smoke actually masks bees’ alarm pheromones. Smoke causes bees to prepare to leave their hive because they believe it is on fire. They begin to eat lots of honey, thinking they need the energy to go find a new home. Engorged with honey, their abdomens are so full it makes it hard for them to sting. (Imagine the feeling of bending down to tie your shoe after a big dinner.) As long as the smoke is not too hot, it does not harm bees. I always puff some smoke onto my arm to make sure it’s cool to the touch. Beekeepers inspect their hives to ensure they’re healthy. The goal is never to harm the colony. Imagine trying to talk to your friends over the sound of loud music. This is similar to the experience a colony has when a beekeeper smokes the hive. The bees' sense of smell is disrupted by the smoke, so they can’t communicate.

[@thatguythere6161]

@Plain Silk Tie You literally saw proof in the video. If it's hippie nonsense then he should have hundreds of beestings

[@thatguythere6161]

@Plain Silk Tie I just looked it up, and there are beekeepers who both handle bees without a suit and don’t use a smoker. Bees can smell the pheromones you release if you are afraid, and they will become agitated because of this. I like the analogy they used that “you’re just another tree branch”, because yeah, you don’t see bees just attacking other branches waving in the wind, so I’m pretty sure they use fear to decide what to attack. With how big everything is compared to them, it would be hard to interpret threatening gestures. So yeah, being calm is the most important part. Edit: I want to apologize for my original comment though, he did use smoke and it wasn’t good proof

People who handle bees and wasps and shit are insanely brave people. Just sticks his hand right in there after saying they ain't happy!!!

[@defendrr_ru]

Handling bees sounds like something that's plausable, but wasps? That's like picking up an angry, armed tribesman by the waist and tickling him

[@Feedback406]

Bees are very important!!! You are doing humanity a great service!!! Not all heroes wear capes!

[@6StringPassion.]

Happy bees, and lucky to have found such a good home.

[@JD91234]

One of the coolest things I’ve seen, how you handled and then moved the bees! So amazing to see how they respond to her! Thanks for sharing!

[@evelynharber6077]

You are definitely a bee-whisperer! Watching you be so tranquil with these little stingers is amazing! Obviously your patience and tranquillity, (and smoker,) imparts itself to these little ladies and your ability to read them so well that they are not nervous around you makes for an ideal relationship! You are the first apiarist that I have seen unsuited and I will admit that is scary and those ladies can inflict a nasty sting!

[@MistressoftheIceMoon]

I am definitely subscribing to a guy who gently scooped a handful of bees up with his bare hand and didn't get stung. What a legend

[@TrollerNinja69420]

He did

[@nbw0313]

last time my neighbor did just a cleanup for his bees, he got stung like crazy - his head was like a melon... these bees you found seem to be calmer than everything i seen so far.

[@escapetherace1943]

depends on their mood at the time + species. Those bees look high in the Italian honeybee genetics, the most mild-mannered honeybee on earth.

[@Vedhon]

the descriptions say the smoke used makes them calm down and not attack so much. I guess that's that?

[@escapetherace1943]

@@Vedhon smoke lowers their ability to sense their pheromones and bees get mad together and yes it confuses them. I don't do it barehanded though but I got stung only twice in my first year using gloves and a hood

[@Whitebrowpriest]

This dude is crazy, doing this without a bee suit?!! Couldn't be me! lol

[@fawtyseven5516]

[@alexs6076]

This makes. Me shiver, I have always feared bees but it's so amazing how you just pick them up not scared they'll sting you

[@Unlimited_vision]

I know right same

[@smart7928]

Watching this kind of helped me understand what people who are afraid of snakes think of my snakekeeping. I could never imagine being that close to that many bees because I’m terrified of them, but I guess it’s the same with this guy’s bees as it is with my snakes, people are afraid of them until they figure out how to properly interact with them and then they’re pretty cool

[@Rex-yp1qb]

I just don't like how they swarm around each other

[@greenberrygk]

That’s actually pretty fascinating

[@Kevinschart]

you showed these creatures so much respect. it's refreshing

[@aprilmatsu508]

i'm learning so much! i already knew how important bees were to the world and mother earth but ALL of these keepers that spread knowledge on SAVING the bees are AWESOME! i think if more people got educated how many bees would survive and save the world!

[@kingsmerte3629]

This goes to show how chill bees are. If you don't mess with them or freak out, they wont sting

[@retrolyzee]

12:56 ?

[@bjw4859]

You show such respect with your bees, it is good to see.

[@derricklogan2058]

Every time I watch ⌚ a video of yours, I am amazed at how you scoop up the bees without getting stung! But even moreso, that the bees, angry 😡 or not 🚫, just walk into the box so easily! They just seem so happy 😊 and at ease! Astounding!

[@yournamethere123]

I used to be terrified of bees due to getting swarmed and stung. I was mowing and hit an old wooden pole behind my shed that had a sizeable beehive on/in it. Watching your videos has helped me realize that they are nothing to be afraid of...... still cant believe man just scooped these suckers with his bare hand, mad respect and great informational videos.

[@DrawinskyMoon]

That’s nothing, I once stuck a stick up a wasp nest and was chased all the way back to my house. I still remember seeing the cloud swarm as I ran down the hill. I still like bees though

[@devstorm_]

@@DrawinskyMoon holy shit

[@dewbow134]

I remember i used to hate carpenter bees. I used to kill them and didn't like them one bit.. I thought that honey bees were useful but carpenter bees not. I used to say "honey bees are welcome to my garden, but not Carpenter bees." But now I realize that all bees are useful and important to Nature and that they are all doing their job and that they exist for a reason. I will never say that only honey bees are welcome to my garden. All bees are welcome! And I regret killing them long ago now that I know how useful they are.

[@mxgr194]

To anyone who is not accustomed to "handling" bees, seeing this gentleman covered in them is hard to watch. Clearly he knows what he's doing and is respectful, but unafraid. No way would I put my hands in a swarm of bees. No way. Props.

[@lindaarrington9397]

Its amazing to watch .sweet comment

[@Skylancer727]

I know. A hand full of bees is would be pretty nasty if they felt threatened. Then if the whole swarm went after you your kinda just dead.

[@slc1161]

There’s another chick called Texas Beehive I think. She constantly removes bees without gear. Always makes sure they are calm. She has a special clip for the queen. And she transfers all of their combs into her bee boxes. And make sure your smoker works. Lol!

[@Jayasree0627]

I really feel weird cuz you are calling her chick 😑

[@bndkllr2763]

Some Guy: "Hey, I'll give you my winning lottery ticket if you'll do what this guy is doing with the bees." Me: "Nope." LOL

[@FuzzyBacca]

I love this beeman. Has officially made me interested in bees and watching him remove them
