The set up is my design, my idea anyway. A guy named Guy contacted me 8-9 years ago, something like that, said he wanted to put out a commercial bee vac so we talked it over. He had several ideas but I knew exactly what it should be. He even sent me like 5 or 6 of his ideas but finally listened to reason & decided to put it together like I had envisioned. “Betterbee,” sells them now through their website as Guy officially retired from making the bee vacs. It’s a great design, very user & bee friendly & that was always my desire. I was tired of shaking bees out of boxes on the tailgate of my truck, 9:00 at night, lol. This system is so much easier.
It is amazing how you can capture the queen without squishing any other bees. Easier than finding her in the vac. Your tenacity in saving them in the most uncomfortable positions is amazing.
6mm opening allows workers to pass through but the queens big butt won't fit through. Even the end of the clip has a 6mm opening. Hard to crush them if your gentle as you should be.
You are so fun, JP! I regularly watch your old videos and it's amazing how much your quality & entertainment value continues to increase!! You'll always be the best! 🎵 💯
I wish all my beekeeper buddies could see how slowly & carefully you handle the frames. People say how easily their bees get riled up, but then I help them do inspections & see that what riles up the bees is THE BEEKEEPER! 😆
Glad you're back regularly and in good health! I've been watching bee-wrangling videos for several years now and I'm pretty sure I got into them after watching one of your videos of a removal of a swarm that was on a car in a parking lot. I really enjoyed the videos during the pandemic - made a huge difference to me. Take Care.
Just great seeing the follow thru post removal. I could watch you doing removals all day long, JP, but seeing how you handle a hive and hearing your decision process while you evaluate what is going on is sauce on the goose!
JP, When I'm working on my truck whether that be on my back or knees for a long period of time, and me getting up there in age, one thing that has made a world of difference is when I started using Interlocking EVA (foam) Floor Tiles, seen used in children's room or for gymnastics which are thicker. I used to feel sore without using them, but after using them once you will always have some for the job you just had, and you can also buy EVA (foam) blocks which you could use on each side of that pipe to make it almost a flat and as comfortable as a bed. ~ Hope that might help, Mark
JP, loved the pizza enhancements with the Italian music audio track. 😂 That was awkward, JP. Never knew you were lying on that pipe. Ouch! Thanks for your time and resources in sharing this episode, JP. Stay well, love you, and God bless. 🤟🏽🖖🏽
I used to live in Algiers Point over a decade ago, but listening to you talk makes me miss NOLA so much. My favorite place to have lived. Just found the channel today and already watched like 4 videos 😋. Just love your voice, the attitude you have towards the bees, and the skill and knowledge you clearly possess in handling them. 🥰👍
Moved that colony into their new home. They hadn't been there long , almost all their comb was white, but they are taking to their new home quite well. Wouldn't have been able to do it without your inspiration JP. Keep up the good work.
With that skinny a queen (at capture) and the way those bees built comb, I would suspect a fresh swarm in an older colony if it weren't for all the capped brood. Congratulations to the new owner for a nice hive.
They certainly are a productive hive! Even my untrained eye can easily spot all the comb they've drawn out on the plastic frame, the attachment if old comb to the wooden frame, the nectar, the removal of the rubber bands - and of course all the eggs and larvae, thanks to the queen. Mr Dale got very lucky that it turned out to be such a big strong colony.
Hi JP, the Bee whisperer!!! I've always been afraid of bees due to having a bad reaction when I was in Elementary School: I got it in the face, I wanted nothing to do with any of them. Ever since I've been watching you, you've given me a new perspective towards them and now I am in a trance with how good you are with them, I especially like the lessons. I race with you on looking for the Queen: to see if I can recognize them. Thank you so much for your tutoring on these beautiful creatures and how not to get stung; by NOT waving or swatting.
Thank you for another lovely video I have noticed your videos have changed since I have been watching your videos please keep the learning about them I like that the dos and don't on bees
Thanks for another interesting JP. Hope your back has recovered. Nothing worse than laying over something like that, for that length of time. Stay Well.
If I would have known about that dang pipe being right in the way, heck, I would’ve brought a dang mattress with me to lay on, lol. I have a few foam squares I use for roof jobs, would’ve brought them if I knew.
I find it incredible how geometrically perfect the hexagonal cells always are. Not to mention the fact the bees somehow know that shape maximizes the space.
I hope you are doing well, all the best! Looking forward to the next video. Your videos on this topic are very enjoyable and the interaction with the bees is very positive.
Wow JP that ways awesome 😊❤. A lot of bees!! I don't see how they all fit in that box? Wow. I love watching your videos. Thank you so much for making these. JK FLORIDA USA 🇺🇸
Take care of your body, JP. You work very hard and those bees need you in the community for the long haul. Just like you take a car to the shop to get a tune up, also don't hesitate to get some regular maintenence. A good physical or massage therapist can work wonders in keeping you feeling alright after such a hard day's work. Plus, maintenence is usually cheaper than repair, God forbid we have to consider removal 😂🩹 you deserve just as much love and care as you give those bees!!! 🐝🐝🐝
JP, what a wonderful recovery. I really enjoyed the video of inspecting the hive after you got them “home”. And it was great to see the queen barrel into the hive. ❤
JP, I want to see a video showing what you do months later when the the frames are all wonky and what you do about that and what you do with the bees and how you remediate frames that aren't straight comb.
There are many basement type houses where I reside but they all tend to be older homes. Almost all have sump pumps to pump water out when the basements flood. They’re really not the best design for my area, being we are at or even below sea level in certain areas.
I enjoy following you in the bee keeper world and follow many bee keepers...my question is Richard the keeper whom lives in Florida can not be found..nor any of his many past posting...I thought you may have word among the bee keepers if something may have gone wrong with him due to health or other....thanks for sharing your laid back videos..greatly enjoyable .
Hey JP ! I’ve been watching your videos for about a year now and love how you handled the situations and the bees. In the past I’ve been working with big bee keepers and have removed swarms myself. I’ve done some cutouts but not as exciting as some of yours. I noticed your vacuum attachment on the catch hive and wanted to know where you found it? I have looked for it online but haven’t found it. Need to locate one for myself. I have to close my catch box with a plug and it’s not as effective as the slide door you use. Thanks for all your help and keep up the videos. What do you do with all of the bees you catch. Love the bee cars you have in the past. Thanks again and God bless you.
WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN? Haven’t seen any new videos for 4+ months. Hope you’re OK! Roger in Pierre South Dakota USA
,
The new "voice from beyond" is very interesting. Ha! 😮
JP. It's great to see you uploading videos again.
They are so refreshing to watch, among all the craziness these days.
Keep it up !! 👍
Someone was thinking when they came up with that vac and transfer system - that is a great way to move the bees!!!!

@@JPthebeeman Well - congrats - that is one cool devise - good for the keeper and the bees!
Are you ever coming back? I’m holding out hope ❤️🤞🏽❤️

Damn JP Man, I missed you a LOT and was worried what the heck happened?!! Great that you are back.
Whats up bee man where have u been. I/ we need more videos
Hope you are okay, haven't see any new uploads for over halve a year.. GBU from the Netherlands.. Wim. (SideWalkAstronomer :) )
Hey JP, are you okay? You haven't made a video in a while. I hope there is nothing negative.
That pizza and Italian music cracked me up JP 😂 A beautiful hive! I hope your back recovers quickly from that pipe!

Looks like the 🐝s have ‘leg warmers’ on…(pollen leg warmers!)
Great video Mr JP, thank you 🐝🤛🏼💛
Pollen pants 😂
Just great seeing the follow thru post removal. I could watch you doing removals all day long, JP, but seeing how you handle a hive and hearing your decision process while you evaluate what is going on is sauce on the goose!
✌️🐝✌️
I came back to see if there was any new videos from you, but this last one here was 7. O this ago! I hope you are well and everything is ok 😊
I’m okay, it’s winter here. More videos to come. 👍🏼🐝👍🏼
wooh a JP video while doing laundry! Perfect to watch while waiting for the machines

Hello JP , thanks for another great video and making it very interesting to watch ! Have a great day and looking forward to your next video !
Glad you enjoyed it ✌️🐝✌️
Holy smokes JP, that's a whole lotta bees. Bless them and you!! 🐝

HI J P I MISSED YOU SO HAPPY TO SEE YOU ,
Hey Betty! ✌️🐝✌️
She was fast! Totally missed her. Will have to rerun the rerun of the rerun. Another quality video by everyone’s fav bee guy! JP!😊😊😊

Love to see JP helping the Bees. Those girls look like they are so happy and doing great. Have a fantastic day JP
God bless

Super happy for another video 🎉 👍 🧡
Thanks JP, hope you are doing well. The release of the Queen was great to see, thanks ;)
Love it JP. Nice job. Pretty queen too. Thanks for the video.
Been thinking about you, JP. I hope this finds you fabulous - in good health & happy! 🩷🐝
Thank you for another lovely video I have noticed your videos have changed since I have been watching your videos please keep the learning about them I like that the dos and don't on bees
I love JP Beeman the best!!
thanks for sharing JP
Thanks for another interesting JP. Hope your back has recovered. Nothing worse than laying over something like that, for that length of time. Stay Well.
Hi JP. When I am working on the ground, I use those 2ft foam squares they have at Sam's for kid's floors. Maybe that would help your back. Take care.
If I would have known about that dang pipe being right in the way, heck, I would’ve brought a dang mattress with me to lay on, lol.
I have a few foam squares I use for roof jobs, would’ve brought them if I knew.
So glad to see you posting amazing videos
We enjoy watching you and have missed you!! Glad you’re back.
Love your videos,so nice to see more than just the cutout. They are going to do great.
Thanks for publishing your art for the rest of us to learn from. Aloha!
Hey JP great Pizza idea my brother, that made me chuckle. Thx for posting the vid.
Glad you enjoyed it ✌️🐝✌️
Bees are such beautiful creatures, I really love the way you treat them and care for them ❤ . A huge thank you!!!
Your attitude Is always positive even when the going gets tough. It's inspiring
"JP". what's going on. "Welcome Back".Keep making Videos.
I find it incredible how geometrically perfect the hexagonal cells always are. Not to mention the fact the bees somehow know that shape maximizes the space.
Great show for us arm chair Bee keepers. As always, thank you so much for caring and sharing.
He knows what Queen needs❤
Hope the back recovered quickly. ❤
Took a few days but I recovered. Didn’t expect I’d be laying on that dang pipe to remove these bees! 🤣✌️🐝✌️
@@JPthebeeman the things you do for the love of them ladies 🐝😂
glad to find the beeman again!
Oh their little legs wrapped in pollen. How cute.
Pizza and Italian music... Brilliant!😂
I hope you come back! I miss learning from your channel.
What a cool process! always impressive watching you work.
How are those girls doing Ricky?
I hope you are doing well, all the best! Looking forward to the next video. Your videos on this topic are very enjoyable and the interaction with the bees is very positive.
Thank you for what you do for bees

That was a wonderful hive ty for the video😊
M’y grandpa used to raise bees…he told me everything about his passion
Wow JP that ways awesome 😊❤. A lot of bees!! I don't see how they all fit in that box? Wow. I love watching your videos. Thank you so much for making these. JK FLORIDA USA 🇺🇸

LOL bee comb pizza... Did someone miss lunch?
Bee keeping and care is easy. Just watch JP. :)
Hey Richard, hope you’re doing well my friend, good to see you here. ✌️🐝✌️
37th! GOOD AFTERNOON JP! Roger in Pierre South Dakota
JP, laying down on the job can take it’s toll on you! I found that out a long time ago….
JP, what a wonderful recovery. I really enjoyed the video of inspecting the hive after you got them “home”. And it was great to see the queen barrel into the hive. ❤
Good job.
Love to see your videos, you are the one who inspired me bee come a bee keeper.
✌️🐝✌️
Love watching your videos. If you still have the full version of this plz upload🙏🙏 I truly do adore watching you work
Jp thanks for sharing.Never see a bee vacom like look like safter for the bees.Stay coooldown there myy brother
How are you and your family JP
I always enjoy watching your videos JP, keep up the good work!
That was some nice looking comb 😊
Those are very dark colored bees 🐝
You're awesome! Love your positive cool vibes.
U can see the bees coming back absolutely LOADED with polen on their back legs! Crazy. I got a ant colony I keep. Love how bugs can be so complex.
That looked like a hard hot job!!!!!
JP, I want to see a video showing what you do months later when the the frames are all wonky and what you do about that and what you do with the bees and how you remediate frames that aren't straight comb.
Nice job JP!!!!
So very cool to see them doing so well good job PJ.
That is a very nice queen right there.
The best as always! I love how kind all your content it c:
Thank you, appreciate the appreciation. ✌️🐝✌️
@@JPthebeeman Youre very welcome ^.^ and I appreciate you appreciating the appreciation haha
Good job Sir
I live in PA and can't believe people don't put basements under their homes. Tough job today JP!
If they did it would fast turn into a basement swimming pool
There are many basement type houses where I reside but they all tend to be older homes. Almost all have sump pumps to pump water out when the basements flood.
They’re really not the best design for my area, being we are at or even below sea level in certain areas.
JP you are the 🐝 man!🎉
Fascinating!
Just fantastic
How is your back doing today???
I enjoy following you in the bee keeper world and follow many bee keepers...my question is Richard the keeper whom lives in Florida can not be found..nor any of his many past posting...I thought you may have word among the bee keepers if something may have gone wrong with him due to health or other....thanks for sharing your laid back videos..greatly enjoyable .
Richard who? What’s his last name, does he have a UA-cam channel? Name of channel?
Are you going to make any more bees hive videos
Yes
You haven't uploaded in a while? Everything ok?
I’m okay, I’m hoping to start putting out more videos soon. Thanks for your patience.
Ha, I used to commercial fish for mullet in lake P.
So awesome
All this time watching you I never knew you was from my town

Parabéns irmão sempre aprendendo com as suas técnicas
My mama always taught me it was a very bad idea to be on the pipe. Do you think this is what she was talking about? 🤔
Most definitely. 😉
