Shotgun Swarms , Shootem Down!!!!!!!

- While making inspections , one of my hives was swarming and broke off into 2 different swarms, one was on a low hanging branch and the other was very high in the tree where I could not get to it with any ladder that I have , so I decided to use my shotgun and it worked better than I taught, by shooting the branch down, the bees never went back up to the top but instead gathered around the lower branch where the other swarm was located which made them was easy to shake off. #catchingswarms #honeybees #beehives #gardening #bees #Howtocatchbees #howtocatchswarms
That has to be one of the best swarm catch videos I have ever seen, and I seen a lot, just from JP alone!! I tried to shoot a branch a few years ago and I hit the whole ball of bees!! You did that like a BOSS Brad!! Great video!!
Thanks Mike Glad you liked it, ended up with two swarms and two virgin queens that I put in mating nucs. God Bless and Happy Easter Mike
For sure! This should have gone viral!! That was some nice shooting there are the end. Just had to get dialed in! 😅❤
Sometimes a mans gotta do what a man’s gotta do. You got em, that’s the main thing. Good job Brad!
Thanks buddy , you right gotta gettem how you can especially when they come from your own hives lol.
Choot'em!!! This man was one with his firearm and bees. Congratulations on the swarms!
God bless ya brother.
Thanks for watching.
Nice shootin’ Tex!….errr, Kajun. Brad you crack me up!! 😂. Good job
Thanks for watching and commenting I love to hear feed back, have a bless day.
A man’s gotta do, what a man’s gotta do! 😂😂😂 That’s the Cajun way of swarm catching. Good shots Brad!
Thank you, ended up with two swarms and two extra queens that I put into mating nuts. thanks for watching.
“Kajun Cowboy”. Looks like you got them. Plus a few extra queens. Good days work. Enjoyed the video. Take care.
Thanks Buddy for stoping buy and watching, it was a fun day,
you've got alot of very small colonies now! More to keep up with!
yea trying to get to 50 this year.
If they do fly off. They might land some where lower > For a sling rope. fine some parachute cord with a weight on it. Make more accurate and lighter to throw it > THERE FLYING TO IT! YOU GOT IT! WTG 👍👍
Thanks for watching.
Bee Keeping , Never a Dull Moment.
They keep you busy that’s for sure, thanks for watching👍🏻👍🏻
Good catch. Great start to your season.
thank you for watching
I would say gracefulness doesnt matter, it worked and the bees went in the box :D And that was some nice shooting!
thanks Lagrange
Hey man nice shot 👍
Thanks for watching SARA
@@KajunHomestead Happy to Brad 😊ua-cam.com/video/o9mJ82x_l-E/v-deo.html
I've definitely heard of this technique before I just haven't tried it yet myself lol. Great video!
Thankyou for watching
Fantastic method to get those high swarms down. Good job :) That was a secondary swarm since it was full of virgins. The primary swarm with the original queen must have left a few days before. But if you can get most of those virgins to mate successfully you are well ahead on the deal :) Cheers Chris
yes you are right , I must have missed the original queen. Thanks for watching
Is Kajun style, 3rd times the charm, for 3 virgins?🤣Neighbors are all watch out, Brands got swarms again. 😂
Hey DC thanks for watching
You made that look easy, Awesome
Thankyou , and thanks for watching.
Great shot! Have you ever tried that "clanging" ? Often wondered about that.
yes Mike I was able to get on swarm in a box last year , but it only worked while the bees were in air, not after they had already landed on a location in a ball. thanks for watching Mike.
Too funny, but effective
thanks for watching 😀
What's wrong with ladders, Brad? lol. Nice shot
I would have needed a crane lol
You know, technically you had that second swarm in a box after they started collecting under the first swarm box. You could have just picked the other box up and flipped the other box over and put a bottom underneath them. 😅
Yeah you right, it was crazy all the queens I caught, never had that happen to me before with all those virgin queens, I lost the main queen cause I never found her, she was a marked queen , she must have swarmed earlier and I never saw. Thanks for watching.
