A Beautiful Place To Bee

Nature is an amazing thing. All my life I have respected,loved and desired to learn about the life that surrounds us after we walk out the front door. I have tried to always connect with nature on its level and so often it has accepted me and my curiosities.
Today I was in my own little dream place of heaven on earth. Surrounded by so much nature, that I was in sensory overload. At one point, I was walking around the house and a Grey Rat Snake nearly ran me over as it headed off to the field near by. It made for a great opening moment in the video I believe.
Back to the bee removal video .... in this episode, I travel to North Alabama to remove a colony of bees from a home I've been to 5 times in the past few years to remove a hive of bees that showed up about a week earlier. Somewhere in that area there must be a huge colony close by that loves their house as much as the homeowners do. And every year the bees get smarter and try to hide better from Ol' Yappy Beeman. I say challenge accepted. And so far, I have found their nest every time.
This colony was really great to work with. They tolerated the rehome process without giving me to much trouble and I don't recall being stung a single time. I even like to believe that after I got them home and set them up in a new beehive, some of them even landed on me to show appreciation for my good work.
The kink in this one was all because of the queen bee. She was a slippery little gal and made me work hard to find her. But in the end she made her appearanc
e in true Royal form.
I do hope you enjoy this episode of my bee removing fun. I appreciate the feedback and hope to hear what you thought in the comments.

Utmost respect for a Man that understands snakes are a important part of mother earth and have every right to bee left to go on there happy way.

[@jlopezjonathan]

I taught my kid that the last thing bees want to do is sting people and not to freak out when a bee is near. Its been a few times that a bee gets near him, one time one landed on his hand and he kept calm, I was so freaking nervous but he handled it like a champ, I kept telling him not to move too fast and to just look at it, I told him the bee just wanted to taste the candy on his hand and eventually the bee just flew away i was so freaking proud

I love snakes. XOXO Glad to see someone else does too. I've got plenty in my yard in Appalachia; Rattlers (not very many), Copperheads, Blacksnakes, Red Corn snakes, King snakes (both kinds), Milk snakes, Garter snakes, Ringnecks--those are the ones I've seen anyway. I respect and love them very much. It may also be that my yard is the Wolf Spider capitol of the state (NC). They scare me, but I don't hurt them. If they're in my house, I catch them and release, waaaay down at the bottom of the ridge.

That snake was like "Sir, please put me down. 🥺 Sir. Please. Down."

I got stung over 400 times at once by a ground hive of Yellow jackets.i managed to jump in a pond to get away, then crawled to my quad and drove it 10 miles to town for help. To watch you walk in to a swarm and actually move it to a safer location is fascinating to me..granted it's honeybees but still. Nice videos

I will never not find the bee vacuum funny. Just the fact that the way to deal with what some consider a scary invasive pest is to vacuum them up like they’re some dust or something is hilarious to me.

[@davidellis5141]

All the animals are awesome 👌 especially the 🐍. The home is a haven for 🐝 & that makes it a danger. The owner should do some work to make it less hospitable to them.

[@YappyBeeman]

Where the line between cost vs benefit? Because what it would take to "bee proof" that house would cost more than most people make in a year.

[@gitatit4046]

Super cool video ! Especially since I can "bee there in the mist of it" and not get the first sting. But I gotta admit it still makes me nervous. Thanks for put us in the action again - safely 😁

[@dracul5197]

Always love your videos, they’re always fascinating. When you first started working with bees, was it difficult to tell the queen apart from the rest? I know she’s a bit bigger but to me it doesn’t always look so obvious.

[@YappyBeeman]

Yes, it was. Over time I learned to watch where the bees were telling me to look. Hard to explain briefly but I tend to watch the bees and they sometimes give clue to where she is. After seeing thousands of them it becomes easier I promise.

[@MindyGhost]

Hey there! I only just stumbled on your videos. You're so fun to watch because you are kind and knowledgeable. I'm super curious as to why you cage the queen exactly?

[@rodolforamirorivera510]

i think its so that the other bees can follow her for when he takes them home and re-situates them into a new hive. Because of course you need to have a queen for a hive :)

[@kbzoncapo777]

The bees always follow the queen. So in cases of moving bees from a natural hive to an artificial one, you gotta make sure the queen is in the new place. If not, they would just return to where they were

[@michaelleitold2446]

Another great video Yappy! You’re so cool with the bees. I have two questions you’ve probably been asked before, but don’t you get stung quite often? And second does the vacuum cleaner hurt the bees? Mike from Montreal, Quebec, Canada.

[@YappyBeeman]

Thank you. And yes, I do get stung but it all depends on the hive and a few other factors. But thankfully not as often as most would think (or hope). The vac is a special design that captures them into a box and doesn't kill them. A shop vac would.

[@andie_pants]

Also, what is the difference between vacuuming up the queen as opposed to catching her?

[@YappyBeeman]

I always like to catch her to confirm she wasn't left behind. I prefer to do it by hand for the challenge mostly but so I can cage her also. This helps to keep the bees in the new setup for a few days without them leaving. They don't always stay. Why, I can't answer.

[@oneforall549]

Silly question prob, but how are you not getting stung? I've never seen someone not suited up or using smoke? How cool!!

[@Altjoni]

Wait a minute....so are bees like dogs? Only "bark and bite" if you're nervous around them? 🤔😭
