@@YappyBeeman I can't comment for some odd (Tube) reason but that was un-REAL! I've seen a bunch of marches but NEVER seen a group going into a box on a DEAD RUN!

yes Yappy, this is so cool! I wish I could send you a picture of what happened to me...I had TWO swarms arrive at exactly the same time! UNBELIEVABLE! Each went with their queen to their separate boxes.

I adore how much admiration, love, and respect this man has for bees.

[@barbeonline351]

This may be the "ultimate" of your episodes. Your channel seems to be bees in the wild versus the animal husbandry that others post. But this one was pure National Geographic. You happened upon this miraculous evolutionary masterpiece. No hands on manipulation. No wrangling. And then to capture on video the march of the queen into her new queendom.....I can't think of how more eloquent the experience could have been. Hope your daughter got high praise for bringing your attention to this event.

[@YappyBeeman]

She did and thank you for the great compliment.

[@miriambertram2448]

I am 71. In the late sixties early seventies my father became a beekeeper at the age of 50 in order to support the almonds he planted. And he needed a secondary and tertiary income since we had just started the farm. It is amazing to watch beekeepers just go into a swarm of bees and not be concerned. I learned a heck of a lot about bees and it's all amazing. 2nd income renting out hives 3rd income amazing honey

[@YappyBeeman]

Yes it is. And 4th is doing great jobs as a remover.

[@Werner_HeR]

We used to have bee equipment in our garage on the farm (where i grew up) and usually on a Sunday afternoon, a swarm would land on the drive way close the the garage and start marching into one of the empty hives. (we usually left a little comb starter ready for them. By Sunday night they would all be in and we'd carry the hive to where the others were.

[@madermis]

Yappy, I love how respectful you are to the bees. You do Alabama proud.

[@Susietacoma]

Yappy, thank you uploading it immediately unedited. That was SO COOL! I loved every minute of it. Thanks for letting the camera run so we could get it all including your🐝 excitement.

[@sadfatdragon9529]

So wait did a random swarm literally showed up at your house and claimed a random bee box?

[@CoachAshley1983]

We became interested in beekeeping & learning about all things Honey🐝s after watching videos from Yappy, Rooster, & the others in your circle of friends. During the winter of 2022, we spent our evenings watching YT & learning from you guys. We realized quickly how important it is that we learn from those who have a passion for the 🐝s rather than those only in it for profit. As of right now, all of our hives came from a swarm that we removed. We are in NE Indiana so our swarm season is a bit later than yours, but we have already had 1 successful removal last week, 2 so far this week with another one tomorrow. We now have 10+ hives & we continue to add more with each swarm removal. Grateful we were able to build our hives without paying for a single bee. You've taught us how different each swarm can be & the characteristics that are important to pick up on. No matter if it is a simple ball on a shrub or a well-established colony inside a dead tree, we can always find a Yappy video to help guide us through each new scenario we encounter. Your explanations are perfect for me because I have to know "the why" in every situation while my husband is able to watch what you do & replicate it...best of both worlds! We've learned more than we ever dreamed. Yappy, thank you for instilling confidence and encouraging us to move beyond just a "new hobby." We are so thankful we have found our new passion & also proud to play a small part in helping to strengthen the bee population & strong genetics within our local community.🐝❤️🐝 This video is a perfect example of your appreciation for the beauty of the swarm & the care you take to protect our honey🐝s. Thank you, Yappy!!🤗

[@adammcintyremusic4727]

[@ledgekindred]

I don't know about headphones people, but I thought that sound was amazing! I WISH I had had headphones and you had recorded in 7.1. After watching so many of your videos now, it's such a happy noise, knowing that these are happy bees. (And yes, I stayed for the whole thing!) The march at the end was, as they always are, amazing.

[@YappyBeeman]

Kudos for 14 mins of bee noise. Try it again with headphones. Its amazing

[@NoctisVigil]

You keep commenting on the noise, but honestly? All that buzzing just becomes a rather therapeutic hum, even with headphones. Almost a bee ASMR.

[@kiwipenguin1126]

When I was a kid my neighbour was a beekeeper. One day his bees swarmed and looked like a cloud and then they settled in a tree. I remember being terrified and wondering how on earth he would get them back. Thanks to you I know it now! I never expected them to march so fast, absolutely fascinating. Thank you for sharing!

You’re right Yappy, I wouldn’t have believed it if you hadn’t caught it on camera! It’s so amazing to just see them all going into the box! My wife is so petrified of bees that I can’t even show her your videos. Freaks her right out! A yellow jacket goy her in the arm pit many years ago and she still hasn’t gotten over it. You have a damn good eye for the queen, I find I can’t pick them out with so many moving bees around but when you focus in on her I see the difference. I hope you have a good year with many videos.

Thank you for posting this video; it's great to see and hear someone so enthusiastic about his bees. I first learned about bees when I was in second grade, thanks to a wonderful teacher, and have been fascinated by them ever since. I've considered trying my hand at it now that I'm of retirement age, and am attending groups of beekeepers locally (central Texas) to see whether it's something I can realistically pursue. Congratulations on your new "tenants" - clearly they know a good landlord when they find one! And... as for the "noise," I don't find it unpleasant in the least! It's just a different sort of music :-)

[@missys199]

As from the bees perspective, idk if I'd want that Queen or not. She keeps getting lost 😁 that second cluster of bees on the ground just short of the hive, I agree. I think she landed short there. Especially since we know she's horrible at directions and finding the right address LOL then when you messed with her you got what little sense of direction she did have ALLLL messed up lol and then the workers bees had to surround her and walk her in the door. This proves it's a good thing the Queen don't leave the hive unless she's moving 😂 This one wouldn't find her back home. She'd get lost coming back from the corner store with her little bags lol
