This is a big jump from the last video, because we do not do much beekeeping between early July and October. There is no honey flow in our area at that time, and the colonies are recovering strength from the split we did in late June. All we do in this period of time is p...

Honeybee Swarm Caught in a Swarm Trap - May 17, 2021 - Gentle Bees
Wow. Thanks for sharing this magnificence
Do you have the swarm box full of frames?
Foundationless frames, yes
Amazing!
This exact thing happened to me on july 4, 2024. It happened just like in the video! It was incredible! Then on july 16, 2024 watched another trap catch one, start to finish. Very cool!
Incredible. Just built my first swarm trap. Really hoping to see something like this!
How far away from the swarm trap was the apiary? Thanks for the video.
At least 3 miles
Bees are just bloody awesome! I love just watching my hives seeing them come and go etc amazing little things!
10:17 How do you feed the bees in these 3 days of "waiting undisturbed"?
We don't. They bring plenty with them when they swarm
Nice job explaining while the swarm was happening.
Such an exciting time of year when the swarms are catching! Great vid! Love the bee facts.
Respect, respect 4 Bee Whisperer.
When she stung you, because she removed her stinger, did that not hurt at all? Or a little? That was interesting to watch
Not much at all, maybe 10% of normal
Super simple, super clear...thank you for sharing this. Just ordered our hive and expect to catch a swarm next spring. Thanks guys!
Interesting watching the swarm from the beginning
Great video! What's the weight of the trap before and after?
Good question, I'm not sure. My guess is the swarm weighed 10lb or so
You did a great job of explaining and sharing your swarm knowledge with us, thank you.
Incredible!
Seeing this process never seems to get old.
Absolutely amazing!
Very fascinating! Just couldn’t take my eyes of the screen ❤❤❤
I wonder how your neighbors feel about this. I hope you have taken time to educate them !
Absolutely Amazing! Thanks for filming this and sharing it too!
nice footage bud, dont really get to catch it on vid often, seen it many time but you got it just right.
Awesome video and thanks for sharing. You made that look too easy!
Appreciate your videos!
Glad you like them!
Post more videos man!
wow great video
Trying to trap for the first time. Set out two traps in mid-March. Today (April 15th) I saw 5-6 bees checking out the trap, going inside and moving about the box. Hope they are the “scouts!” Great vid. Thanks guys!
Most swarms scout 2 days and move on the 3rd - maybe soon!
@@HiddenSpringApiaries I think you’re right! I just went out, many bees going in and out, so I lifted the lid a lid and the frames are COVERED in bees! Last night we had thunderstorms all night so I guess I missed how they “beard up” on the outside of the trap. Do some swarms just move right in quickly?? YT won’t let me paste a pic..
Awesome video...just caught my first swarm but did not get to see them move in...
So glad I found you! Great explanations and a pleasure to watch.
Amazing🤗
Have you ever tried Swarm Commander to bait your hives?
Absolutely. Best stuff there is
There’s always something to do! I moved some colonies to a new out yard this evening. Thanks!
Thanks!
Thank you for sharing this amazing video. So cool!!!
👍👍👍
GREAT LOOKING BEES
Your sound quality sucks
fair. relying on my phone's microphone leaves plenty to be desired.
Thank you!!! That was very cool to see a swam move in. I have my 1st swarm trap out and hoping for my first catch. Btw, the video itself with your narrative was outstanding. Thanks again.
Swarm Commander or Lemon Grass oil?
Lemongrass oil is to swarm commander as a airsoft gun is to a bazooka. Swarm commander all the way
Swell😊
Wow!😊
How do you prevent or control cross-comb with no foundation? BTW, great video !
These northern breeder need to stop lying with the nucs. An over wintered nuc has a late season queen making her in her prime come spring. Splitting your winter hives does not make a winter nuc!
Most of them make the origin of the bees clear in their advertisements. So long as you're truthful about what you're selling, sell whatever kind of nuc you want
leaving them in for three days is something I never thought of, but it makes perfect sense. That will be my new procedure from now on. Thanks for posting this; very helpful !
What do you use for a lure sir?
Was that 1x12
I like the color and awesome job bro
I thought this was just going to be a time-lapse from the thumbnail, but no, you literally saw it coming, started filming and "experienced" a swarm like a boss. I'm jealous!
