  • A swarm of bees that I caught the night before and still had in my truck was leaving their hive and swarming again, so I ran outside in my pajamas to try and get them back in their hive!
    Bee Removal Backstory:
    I wish I had more to share from this, but I didn’t film much since I had my hands full with the bees! I was eating breakfast when my husband said there were a lot of bees on my truck. I asked how many, and he said, "A ton, it looks like a swarm!". So I looked out the window and knew immediately what was going on...the colony I had in my truck was swarming again! I didn’t even have my camera on me when I ran outside to get the bees, but luckily my husband did! And I wasn’t planning to post about it, but I put together what footage I did have and posted this to Tiktok. It’s been on Tiktok for less than 24 hours and has over 45 million views, so I thought I would share it here for everyone who might want to see it but isn’t on Tiktok!

    Erica. I’m so impressed with what you have accomplished. When I moved into my 50 year old house, within two days I had a swarm get into a wall next to the fireplace. I called who I thought I should call, a pest control company. They were going to kill the hive at a cost of $95. I stopped them, paid a $25 service fee and looked for a bee professional to “remove” the hive. There was no charge to remove the hive, but $3,600 to fix my wall and fireplace. It was well worth the cost. I then started watching UA-cam videos to learn more about beekeeping. I found JP the bee man (from Louisiana). I watched, asked questions and purchased boxes to try to catch a swarm during swarm season. Using a bee attraction tube, I caught a swarm. They are Russian Bees and as gentle as my three dogs. Thank you for sharing your story and I hope it will spark interest with people like it did me. Take care, BEE healthy (avoid the COVID Crap) and have fun. Oh, by the way I saw the GMA story and I think it’s great that you met your husband on Bumble. I think it was Karma. Today would have been my 37th wedding anniversary (my wife lost her battle with cancer almost 13 years ago) and I wish you and your husband all the love and happiness that I enjoyed.

      Was the $3600 to fix a problem hole already there and made use of by the bees, or to fix the hole made to get the bees out? PS Covid isn't crappie. Get a jab, don't be one of those guys struggling for breath on a ventilator realising too late that some grifter had sold them a conspiracy. Good luck. 👍🖖✊️

      It’s film clips like this that got me into bee keeping. I now have my first hive. It’s a flow hive which is the reason I could get one. It’s different to the standard bee hive and getting the honey out of the hive is gentler. That was the only reason I didn’t want to go into beekeeping. I didn’t want to squash the bees. What I’m trying to say is you can have a beehive of your own. Anywhere.

    Wakes up with a blanket of bees warming you
    Goes to bathroom, cabinet is filled with bees. doesnt grab towel or hairdryer after showering, just grabs a scoop of bees to dry you.
    Goes to kitchen, bees everywhere, curtains are just strings of bees collected together, most of the furtinure is covered in honeycomb and bees
    goes outside, followed by a constant swarm of bees.
    It's all bees.
