Bee Man Vs Duck Box Full Of Bees!

  • Honey bees had taken over this semi-rotten duck box, good thing I removed them when I did, the thing would've just gotten heavier & heavier & eventually would have fallen, which would not have been a good recipe for happy bees.
    At first the bees were a little defensive but once I smoked them some & exposed the hive they did a complete turn around.
    I was able to frame up all of the beautiful comb they had drawn out during their stay in the duck box.
    These bees wound up going to my good buddy Schawee & were placed in the swamp on 3,000 acres of land to do whatever they please.

    So nice to see you posting videos again JP - your channel has always been a favorite of mine and I like many of your UA-cam fans missed seeing your videos and truly wondered how you were and that all was well for you and your family! Loved this video and thanks again for your efforts, always entertaining and educational.

    I've become interested in bees thanks to you and I always talk to my children (I work in an elementary school) about bees and how wonderful they are and how we should not fear them, but look after them. That's all on you, JP!

    It's so crazy how they act like a collective. I know it sounds obvious at first (especally the way I phrased it), but when you started talking about them "bullying" you, it made me realize that each colony has its own kind of personality, that the whole hive acts as one unified intelligence (sort of). Almost like how the cells in our bodies work together to make something intellegent and sentient.
    I know, a little weird of me 😅but either way: Love bees, and I love how gentle you were with them. Awesome video, JP! Can't wait to see more!

      Yes, Amanda beat me to it, I often refer to a colony of honey bees as a super organism as they are highly social & make collective decisions, regularly, inherently. You really can’t help but fall in love with these wonderful little creatures, at least most, the super aggressive ones, meh, not so much. 😉✌️🐝✌️

    • @JPthebeeman
      @JPthebeeman  Рік тому

      It depends on how old the comb is, very new comb is very fragile. The temperatures outside & in the void space they are occupying makes a huge difference too. If the combs are very warm they tend to be very fragile.

    Great Video as always JP.. Not sure what it is with old rotting duck boxes but yours are now the 3rd occassion I know of where this has happened, No actually 4th as I just remembered the one in Cambridge in 2012
    One thing that always amazes me is how the bees know when to cut the bands off at the right time once they have attached the the comb to the top of the frame securely. The bees I rescued last have already chucked the bands out side the entrance all 9 of them. I checked inside the hive and all is perfectly attached in the frame. They only nibble the bands a little bit at first but soon as comb buiding is complete they all join in to get the bands off.

I put a lot of work into the editing, especially since sometimes I’m using as many as three different cameras. Some UA-camrs can put a video together in one sitting , I don’t know how they do it. Quite often I’ll work on one video for three full days before putting it out, so you can imagine how appreciative I am when a particular video is well received, drives me to make more.

    • @JPthebeeman
      @JPthebeeman  Рік тому +1

      No, just a little smoke. Some bees believe it or not will abandon comb very quickly with a little bit of smoke, I take that as a bonus as it gives me the opportunity to pull & frame up comb while they are off of it.
      Before I started using Honeybgone, I used Fischer’s bee quick. There was a brief period (like a few months) years ago when it wasn’t available so I only had two options: bee go or honey robber.
      Both of those products I’m pretty sure contain butyric acid which is an extreme eye irritant (they used butyric acid in Whale Wars).
      I used honey robber on two occasions & will never use it again. It stinks to high heaven & I found that it greatly disorientated the bees.

      This was an established colony albeit they’d been there perhaps 6 weeks.
