That must of been the easiest catch you ever had! No ladder climbing, no wall ripping, no thorns, no super heat wave, no storms heading your way. Just a sweet family looking for a home for some bees.
I know this is an older video but I love how you educate the people you're getting the bees from. Love getting mentored from a distance by you brother. Thanks for capturing your knowledge on "film".
+Nat TheProjectGuy Thank you for taking time out of your busy schedule to view the videos & thanks for your feedback! Always fun talking bees with the public, bees are so amazing!
Ron, you can vacuum any swarm, I just prefer to shake them, more fun! Depending on what's out in the field just bare in mind you will leave some behind if you don't come back after dark. ...JP
JP, would there be anything wrong with using a Bushkill Beevac on such a swarm? A guy could still inspect the frames in the vac box for the queen. Sometimes it's not always possible to come back later in the day to pickup the box so doing a swarm grab-and-go would be helpful. Thanks for another great video!
JP, I have moved a swarm from our tree and now have them in a vacuum box with a new hive box on top, but the ball of bees have yet to move into the box. Was going to remove the hive box and shake the bees into the new hive box, like you have done in the video, but I am afraid I will lose the queen. Is that possible? Thanks in advance on the advice.
I hate to admit it but I have on rare occasion but what a lesson that was! I have a queen cage in my freezer where the bees built comb with worker cells inside the catcher & the queen laid eggs inside the catcher! 👍🐝
So are all the honey bee types this calm when they are in a swarm, do the africanized ones stay calm like this when swarming. There big deal is over aggressive in defense but like you said in the video they have nothing to defend so would make sense even the mean guys would be more forgiving.
Mr. GeforcerFX Not all swarms are created equal & that would go for European as well as Africanized bees. Both can light you up at times. I know people who have housed africanized swarms but to have them become increasingly wicked as the colony matured.
I believe there was a copyright issue because of the song I used, before I knew better. I’ll look into this & see what I can do to fix it. Thanks for your feedback. ✌️👍🐝
Yes, I had some copyrighted music in the video (before I knew better) & UA-cam did what they did. I will see if I can make some changes to the video. If I cannot, unfortunately, I may have to take this video down. Sorry for the inconvenience. ✌️🐝
Reasons. Supercedure! A typical Hive will house 40,000-60,000 Bee's. When the bee's run out of space within the hive, they instinctively start to develop new Queen Cell's and begin the process of building new queens. This more or less...Signals the Old Queen to leave the hive. The Old Queen departs with half of the Worker Bee's within the hive. She usually ends up on the branch of a tree or bush. All the Workers gather honey before departing. they need these stores to keep the swarm fed...while the Scout's go out searching for a New Home. (ie) Hollow Tree, Wall of a Building or other large space with a minimal entrance they can defend. Scouts will return to Swarm with instructions to new location. A swarm can last for a few hours or a few days. They quickly disperse to the new location and with the remaining honey stores...start to build new wax comb so the Queen can begin Brooding a New Colony! Back at the old hive...the remaining worker bee's and nurse bee's are producing new queens to run the former colony! this is just Nature's Way to increase their numbers!
Sarah joseph, coming out of winter entering springtime, it is about propagation. Down here in southeast, Louisiana reproductive swarming begins late February/early March and continues into early May, when congestive swarming begins. Congestive swarms ocurr when there is an abundance of nectar avaiable and to their demise, bees overload the brood chamber, whereby her royalness literally runs out of room to lay eggs. The colony's reaction to this dilemma is to swarm, thus alleviating this imbalance. FYI, workers consume some of this honey which allows them to build comb at the new site.There are other reasons bees swarm as well: ants, predators, comb collapsing due to intense heat, etc...
JPthebeeman Yes...that too would occur in a warmer climate such as Louisiana. I'm just referring to my own situations here in Ontario, Canada. May/June is our usual swarm period!
Sean Gorman Keeping them busy is the key, regardless of the equipment they are in. The queen always needs room to lay her eggs or red flags go off, having the colony gear towards swarming.
Kevin, I went to your site & can't figure out how to message you. Go to my website & send me a message there if you don't mind & I will hit you back. ...JP
It’s because of a copyrighted song I used when I didn’t know it was that big of an issue. For the last several years I only use songs from UA-cam’s creator artist studio. These songs are free to use, songs from artists UA-cam has partnered with.
Beeman, please don't mess with your down to earth original way of talking about the bees. The music, white black variation etc. takes away from your presentation. The new location and the people you meet along the way, draws the interest. What I'm trying to say is, "You are what makes your video". From one of your regulars in Minnesota.
JP! You are not going to believe this, but I just hit a video thinking it was one of yours, but it was this guy called 628dirtrooster. He was called to a bee yard where these two massive bee hives in two huge pine trees had established. they shot ropes up over the branches ,pulled his truck up under each hive, put a queen in 28 deeps and jerked on the branches and made the bees fall down on the boxes. They had so many bees that it completely filled all of the boxes and they had bees falling on the ground in piles! They said that it was the worlds unofficial record for swarm shakes. I was just telling you that I was waiting for you to get a million bees and I have to wonder how many bees will fit in a deep?

is it just me or does the sound cut off for everybody at 35 sec. Looks like he's talking but the sound track was dead .
Comes back at 4.41
He probably had to remove the music for copyright reasons
Love how you drawn-in your clients, as well as your viewers. Well done JP! Thanks for sharing!
That gentleman has front row to greatness. Haha.

Lorrie Ruff easy & lots of fun all the way around. The old timer was the icing on the cake. 👍🐝🐝🐝

did he just pull a queen cage from his beard?! he is the bee whisperer

Patrick, Trace Bundy & at the end "Taken By Trees" Two pretty cool versions that won't offend any wimpy ears, lol.
...JP
Again, Very well done JP.....thank you for sharing this with the rest of us. Got a couple tree trap outs to do today...well start them anyhow. Tom
JPThebeeman has a good taste in music.
GnR in the background, love it! you always have the BEST music
loved the music man. I ended up paying more attention to it than i did the swarm!
Man in the back is locked in😂

Brand new queen catcher! :-)
Thanks for the advice!
Jp... you are the man!
HONEY B GUYS
Well you sure made that one look easy. lol No, I don't think I would do the bee thing they do get mad and start stinging at times. Have a great day
I lost all sound after a few seconds but I still enjoyed the video. 👍
great vid
Go for it Rip!
...JP
awesome videos man
+Ground Pounders Place Thank you!
I love it I'm going to start again with bees this year or next cant wait
HAVE YOU EVER FORGOTTEN TO TAKE THE QUEEN BEE OUT OF THE LITTLE CAGE?
I hate to admit it but I have on rare occasion but what a lesson that was! I have a queen cage in my freezer where the bees built comb with worker cells inside the catcher & the queen laid eggs inside the catcher! 👍🐝
We use thin strips of wood for mounting wax. Do not use threads.
Trace Bundy! Good pick!

That was to easy, go back and do it again. Thanks for posting
JP, who does the acoustic version of "Sweet Child O' Mine" on this video? You always have good music on your vids. It must be a N'Awlins thing.
The unpainted boxes are cypress
...JP
Lost sound halfway through JP. but the video was spot on thanks
I believe there was a copyright issue because of the song I used, before I knew better.
I’ll look into this & see what I can do to fix it.
Thanks for your feedback. ✌️👍🐝
Schawee must have stolen the volume.
I need to have a look at this, obvious a copyright issue from a song or something. I’ll see what I can do to fix it.
Thanks for pointing it out.
Do you ever get stung to hell?
Was there a music track for this or something? It goes silent at about the 35 second mark and I was wondering if UA-cam did it… 😢
Yes, I had some copyrighted music in the video (before I knew better) & UA-cam did what they did. I will see if I can make some changes to the video. If I cannot, unfortunately, I may have to take this video down.
Sorry for the inconvenience. ✌️🐝
@@JPthebeeman No problem! It’s still interesting to watch the bees 🐝. I’ll look forward to the next video ☺️
that Queen was a small girl
JP please messege me i have alot of questions about bee keeping
And bee removal
Not sure what happened from .42 to 5:00 there was no audio. But the transcript showed what you were saying. So did the close captions. Very weird 🤔
Copyright infringement, song/audio was removed by UA-cam.
@@JPthebeeman Aha! Boy YT is serious about their copywrite strikes

Add some music to this one
Wouldn't a solution to swarming be to put them in larger boxes, jp?

Lost sound ???
Debbie MacCabe likely a copyright thing, I’ll see what I can do to fix it. Sometimes you can, sometimes you can’t.
Sound is muted for a good portion of the video 😔😭 .

+Lorral333 I've seen the video. These were displaced bees left behind from commercial beekeepers. Still a cool video though.
Yes, it was!
*NO AUDIO* 00:00:37 to 00:05:40 !!!
I have a few videos that had some censorship issues. I’ll look into fixing this one. Thank you for pointing it out. 👍🐝
Hey JP, another great video. Can you send me your email address again? I'm interested in buying some of your honey again. -Kevin
