Waw! Great eyes seeing the queen land in!! 👍🏻👍🏻
@@gwenyngruffydd I wasted a lot of time waiting for her, I think she landed a few moments before on the feeder that was just sitting on top of the hive but she didn’t actually come down for awhile so when she did come down, it was easy because she had to walk anyway I was lucky to get that short mate thanks.
This is beekeeping magic thanks Richard
Agree 100%. Honey Bees can be a LOT of work....so ALWAYS take time to just be amazed!!! Thanks!!
It looks like the queen is helping out with fanning pheramone
I just ador bee keeping! I have noticed that the UK weather is not so bee friendly which is saddening! We get so few swarms lately. But boy do I get a thrill when I see one and even better if I can catch it.
Definitely one of the best videos I've seen, fascinating
What is so sad is people can go though their whole life and never experience this wonder of nature it is so awe-inspiring and humbling at the same time. magical🐝🐝🐝
Love it. Can’t beat stood amongst thousands of bees as they enter their new home. Just soooo fascinating. Good luck with them.
That is amazing to see. Any swarm I catch is high up a tree. I know I’m tall but really girls land a little bit lower occasionally please
Thanks for sharing Richard always appreciate your channel great information as well
Amazing!! Seeing the queen arriving was the cherry on top!
Miracle of Mother Nature. 😊
Thank you for sharing Richard. Them crazy bugs are amazing.
You know they won't leave since they pick they location.
Brilliant just beautiful thank you Richard
Best swarm trap ever! I had 2 swarms move into deadout equipment on the robbing station. They work on the box prior to moving in. I've noticed they put place holder bees in the hive the night before they move in. Thanks Richard!
I love that they enter in that stinky one. I actually think that there are bees immune to everything.(well varroa maybe still not). Long time ago I saw them enter a hive full of chalk brood and clean it up without problems. I done experiments with every disease possible.. l really mean every... since I'm on an island l did an AFB experiment with one sick hive in the middle of 4 around. The sick one had a caged queen and they lived there drinking water from the seme bucket all summer. The caged queen was released two times to lay and caged again. I switched feeders first, than empty frames.. the 4 hives never got sick. They are still quarantined in the same place alive and strong 4-5 years after. The sick hive was killed with gasoline and burned.
That year I had to burn a yard because I split them too weak too late and the stress made them get infected from a neighbor whose bees died quickly after.
Please don't try this... l did one hive for a test in a very secluded place. If you ever get AFB burn and disinfect your equipment as fast as you can.
That never gets old.
I agree with you Richard
I had a swarm turn up in the garden 2 weeks ago - swarm box - not one of my hives. I did it to annoy the neighbours, but i loved seeing it too.
Interesting that they cleaned out the hive prior to moving in. Yeah I guess we all get hopeful that they might fill up a super. But as you said in the last video they still have to fill in the brood chamber too
A great experience is never a waste of time! 🥰
It is great to see, thanks for sharing 😃
Great video love to see a swarm that goes in a box makes it much easier.
I have a question about the nicot equipment
I know your in Brittany I'm in US in Alabama
I can't find original equipment without buying the whole set up. Any ideas?
Thanks in advance
Cool, I would have thought queen would have been one of first to land, go inside box.
@@danphillips4590 idk, good question but I think she is guided by the workers, then decides if all is good. Numerous times you see swarms setting up home next to a swarm trap 🤷🏼♂️. Is that the queen rejecting the proposed site?? It’s all very interesting
Great work to spot her amongst all that action.
Thanks, just got lucky this time! 🫶😎🐝🐝🐝🐝
I wonder if you used a different camera lens, like the ones that you can see carbon dioxide with if you could see the swarm pheromones being wafted through the air?
i love swarms, some of my most productive hives have come from swarms. and a great source of drawing new comb as most swarms are highly motivated to get building wax right away.
@@time2fly2124 their just monster comb builders in swarm

Where did you purchase your hive bottoms from??
I had a call on Saturday, the swarm slipped straight under The tiles. I removed a couple of tiles cut a piece of the felt away, and there was The queen pure luck.
In the box with some old comb, and stood there watching them march in.
Thời tiết có vẻ không được thuận lợi đối với sự phát triển của ong tôi nghĩ bạn nên quan tâm chăm sóc ong nhiều hơn chúc bạn có nhiều sức khỏe
Height of the box perhaps
@@rickwarner516 we always used to say the height of a human was the best height
