- 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.

Imagine calling a professional to handle some beehive in your yard and they just bare hand in scooping up and yeeting bees LMAO
Whats not professional about that? Kinda curious.
@@viqnish-xz4xj yes, and at times they are necessary without argument. But knowing what and when is what makes the professional what they are.
@@YappyBeeman Oh no, dont get me wrong, obviously you know what you're doing, was just sarcasm. Just that when I think of a professional beehive remover I'd imagine someone wearing hazmat suit with bee smokers, heavy duty gloves and a flamethrower for safety measure 😂
No offense taken. I actually get that comment a bunch. I love the faces on my customers when I do this without a suit. When they say something i always tell them I'm glad to wear one but it costs extra. Wink wink.
1)The bees were angry.
2)They get some smoke.
3)They are so calm they get scooped up by hand.
I think I know what smoke that was.😂😂😂
😏😏😏
Cucumber paste gang goes hard
i was terribly anxious and utterly fascinated throughout this video.
I was too! Had to remind myself to breathe, lol. I can't imagine sticking my bare hand into bees! I'm so glad there are people who know what they're doing and can safely remove them.
6:34
i literally saw one trying to sting him on his arm lmao i saw it sticking its butt into his arm 🤣😂
Personally I would touch them with a business end of a flamethrower but I have to appreciate what this guy does
@@_-_-Sipita-_-_ “i did my dance one time on tik tok and went viral “ 😭
There are a number of things I’m really impressed about this guy:
1) he don’t act aggressive to the bees or by force when treating them. even when shaking them into the box, he still does it in a way that don’t hurt them.
2) the absolute guts to handle them without any gear. It’s incredibly dangerous to do so, but also shows how experienced he is with them
3) how he can spot a queen out of a whole moving and shifting swarm of bees
4) He’s a southerner.
He's a chad
He's a bird, an airplane, no, he is?!
@@ferreira5390 Its the Seljuk Turks
5) hes a zetra male
Its amazing how he's family friendly I don't normally watch bees but this was good
Thats a great compliment. Thank you and thanks for watching.
“May I offer you a handful of bees in these troubling times?”
Go downtown and chase people around with a handful of bees.
Nah that’s terrifying, videos great but damn that gave me anxiety lmao
The bee man
@@rockycomet4587 i run away from ants pls no
Sure!
**Agony Noises**
You do this bare handed?
I have no words.

@karen straughan And receives only ONE sting! An example of what UA-cam provides best, homemade videos that utterly challenge common assumptions. I wouldn't have thought one could get within two feet of that bee swarm without risking multiple stings.
the only words i have "but why, bare hands?"
I think honeybees when they are swarming, don't sting for the most part. When I was a kid we had a huge honeybee nest way up in a tree, and it seems like every year or two they'd swarm, and I could drive the lawnmower through the cloud of bees and never be bothered. It was fun showing off to my friends, who were terrified, LOL
@@erickincaid9779 oh wow i never knew that...i always thought swarmed meant they were ready to attack haha...the more you know...ima have to google that when i get a chance
Ain’t no way in hell 😂I ain’t know this was even possible. My man scooping hands full of bees 🤦🏾♂️
What a dude! No protective clothing or anything. A master!
this man isn’t just a bee Proffesional.. he’s a master of bees
The *King* Bee
he was the director of the bee movie
Yes
I love how delicately he handled them making sure he didn't harm them, Bees are so important to our ecosystem
*aggressively shakes them onto the ground*
Snaps them off the branch onto the top of the box
@@jacksonsmith2955 at least he isn't smoking them
That guy made me conviced that i can safely put my hand directly inside the hive and wont get hurt at all. Thanks man
I would reevaluate that thought a little longer before you try it. Just say’n.
@@YappyBeeman Dumb question but how were you able to?
@@xTiger77 Smoke makes them less aggressive and more docile also he was showing no threat
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!
Someone should make a smoker on a pole so you can smoke them without approaching
It kills me how you see so many bee keepers wearing so much protective gear and this guy simply does it without anything. Guess that is the mark of a true professional! He simply blows my mind! Thanks
or he's a masochist lol
Ya, thats twice with the same descriptive. Answer is, After 10 years and millions of bees, Ive learned them enough to believe there is a God and I like bees more than most people.
@@YappyBeeman Praise Be, Man
I am amazed and impressed with your ability to be with the bees. Thank you so much for taking the time to share this with us. Gives me a new appreciation for bees and your ability to care for them. It is a true example of how to be in the world, no pun intended.😂
I am wondering though why the queen needs to be captured and put in that little plastic cage? Why not just leave her in the box?
Being able to spot a queen on a frame full of bees is one of the most impressive superpowers I've ever seen
As someone with a phobia of bees, how you scooped them up with your bare hands without freaking out is amazing

This guy is a trained professional, bee keepers are usually trained to get used to bees
Me over here being scared over one bee and this guy scooping a handful of bees, just amazes me.
Good job. Exactly the way I learned it more than 60 years ago. I'm still very fascinated about bees. Keep going this beautiful hobby. Best regards Ulrich from Switzerland.
Thats so amazing. Add a b in there and we would have the same last name. "Ulb". Thanks for jumping in here. Always great to hear from other beekeepers.
"Let's give this tree a shake and see what we get..."
Stung, most likely :P
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.
what does the smoke do? what even is that?
@@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.
@Plain Silk Tie You literally saw proof in the video. If it's hippie nonsense then he should have hundreds of beestings
@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
Moving tree?
Human?
Nahh...
*Whomping Willow*
Amazing! Glad you saved those bees instead of killing them. We don’t have bees to waste these days. Cheers!
I actually saw the queen while she was still on the tree! Your camera panned over and I had the video zoomed in a bit on my phone, and she was right there while you were scooping bees. Granted, she was VERY easy to miss because it was really only her abdomen that could be seen before she went back inside the swarm, but still!!
So incredibly cool!!
Nice. Now you got me having to go back and look. She was a pain that day for sure.
Usually, when the bees notably start marching into the box, means the queen is in the box; otherwise, they would stay with her on the tree unless you have put eggs in the box.@YappyBeeman
You know this guy is a pro if he doesn’t even need a beekeeper’s suit
They did, 4:27.
On the contrary.

Right dude 👍
I dont get anxiety at pretty much anything
*Except* grabbing handfulls of bees.
@@davecrupel2817 you can pet a bee while its pollinating, didnt know you could just grab a handful though lol
I love these beekeepers who are what I would call, “natural” no suit and just using bare hands
As a new beekeeper, I'm beyond impressed with your skills and experience. Your videos are helping out A TON. Thank you for uploading them.
He's surprised the bees are angry because when bees hang from a tree like that, they're swarming. Honey bees are usually super chill when they swarm since they don't have a hive to protect. Beekeeping youtube is awesome.
Something set them off that day. Yes, they are usually chill but this just wasn't my day to start out with. They did eventually though.
I usually watch FNAF but this is nice too
I would never be able to find the queen
Yappy: *sticks his hand in a chunk of bees without hurting himself
Me: this man is a literal god to bees...
Yeah
6:33 I was just chilling until this bee crawled over the camera and gave me the goosebumps.
He was trying to get a close up
Always amazed by these beekeepers
Amazing! ♥️🐝♥️
I’m allergic to bees so i tend to avoid them as best i can, but i have to say i love what you do and the way you go about it. Real calm and really chatty at the same time and you don’t panic if you get stung a couple of times. Exactly the right things to do. I also like that you’re constantly trying to teach us not to be fearful of bees, to treat them with respect, but also to know that they are our friends and very necessary for so much of our ecosystems. Bottom line about bees: please don’t kill them… they’re precious little critters 👍😃
This comment is so wholesome!
@@manuuou8603 ikr
Finding the queen bee is like playing the worlds hardest game of “where’s Wally” 😂

Hahaha was thinkin the same
This is truly fascinating and educational, and has taught me a lot about these amazing gentle creatures.
'Oh, yes? What have you learned from this awesome video?'
I've learned that it's nice to watch somebody else put their hands into a swarm of bees, whilst I watch from inside a car about 100 yards away.
😅😂😱🙄
I will never get over how you just handle bees like a particularly viscous liquid.
What a sight, a man and his bees! Great video buddy, God’s peace!
There's my buddy. Great to see you in here. I'm guessing now that al that honey is processed you can breath a little again. Hope you are well my brother.

@@YappyBeeman do those bees not sting or are they friendly
@@Nibbliess100 As long as you can tell the hive is not aggressive and you NEVER swat at the bees when they land on you they'll leave you alone but sometimes you won't get stung other times you'll get a couple stings, also never handle a bee hive without a professional on sight,
@@StevenP727 ok

"Ooh what's this? Hellooo :)"
This is the absolute most terrifying thing I've ever seen in my life! Yet, I'm still watching!
Sticking a bare hand into a swarm of bees takes real guts! I am allergic, so multiple stings would kill me. But... HUGE RESPECT for people like this fellow for finding a safe way to remove bees without killing them. Bees are a crucial element to agriculture and bio diversity. They are dying by the billions from chemicals and predators. We have too few, gentle honey bees. Every colony saved is a triumph.
I'm really sorry to hear that you're allergic and Huge Respecc to da man
This stranger just walked into mother natures home and she is treating him as a guest, Good stuff man, you got balls haha
This man is recording with one hand and scooping handfuls of bees with the other = AMAZING!
I remember as a kid playing around bees all the time in the woods. We never worried about being stung, they were honey bees and bumble bees, never really aggressive more worried about the plants and flowers about. We didn't mess with any hives or anything but we played around thousands of them and i can't remember ever getting stung. We didn't bother them, they didn't bother us.
I'm from Russia (Altai Mountains) and spent my whole youth with granddad at the bee farm. This channel brings me to these cool times! Thank you for making this content you are amazing
I would NEVER pick up a handful of honey bees without any protection. Just shows how you’re used to this kind of stuff.

Bee keeping videos in a nutshell haha
I love the way this guy loves the bees. It's so great watching someone who enjoys what they do
ahaha yesss he's so cuteee, love learning a lot about it also
Me too
did you go to school for this or was this all hands on learning ??
@@thomasbroking7943 School? Probably not. Learning by getting a job as a bee keeper for a farm? Probably how it all began.
How come he’s not getting stung?
He crazy as Hell I can't be that comfortable with bees EVER!!!🤣🤣
Me either.
I'm fighting demons when I see one bee 😂
Bees are pretty gentle. Hornets and wasps are the nasty, aggressive critters.
We need people like this, honey bees are so important to our society and endangered. Very interesting.
I remember taking a bee miniterm in my high school. I was TERRIFIED of bees and that class really helped me overcome my fear after I understood a little bit better how bees work and how cool they are. I'm not sure if this is 100% right, but, if you approach bees with a calm, chill, happy demeanor, they're able to know and do a "happy wiggle" to release a scent on you to say that you're not a danger for the others! We went to the school behive and kept really calm and had good attitudes about it and they would land on us, do their wiggle, and essentially just check us out without any problems while we took pictures of them (it was also a photography class). It was a lot of fun, and I realized that they're really intelligent little creatures that you just gotta respect. I always remember that experience when I watch videos like this, thanks for a great video!
they also have work ethics
6:33 bee was like ayo bro wat up

i have high spectrum autism, and due to it, can find things hidden like a queen bee easily. one thing im hoping to do when im able to get out of high school and go through college is own some bee colonies. unfortunately im the only one in my family who wants bees, so i cant have them anywhere near the house.

honey bees are often docile and mind their own business. If they are looking for a new place to live their main concern is protecting the Queen, not whatever it is you're doing. But if you do see a swarm like this call your local honey farm or bee keeper, they will gladly come and give the hive a nice place to live.
DO NOT KILL THEM

Neither would he, if he were allergic to bee venom. Obviously he does get stung, sometimes.

As a severe insomniac and I'm hearing a growing buzzing in my bedroom wall, I thought I was going insane; turns out there was a huge bee hive in my wall.
its so eerie seeing all those bees just lay on the tree squirming as you pick them up so casually. its pretty cool but pretty unsettling at the same time.

Heres your icecream sir
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!

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!

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
I just don't like how they swarm around each other
That’s actually pretty fascinating
If I didn't have an allergy to thier venom and a bit of a tendency to panic, I probably would have loved to be a beekeeper. They're just really cool creatures...
