Here is why you are good at this. You explain everything as it happens, you explain it clearly-and with the knowledge of someone who has done it for a long time. Plus you seem like you really want to help others.
Thank you so much I appreciate that.
I love when you pick up balls of bees. They rarely ever sting you too. You have a way with them.
When they're balling something, they're not paying anything else much attention. In another video, he described it like a person breaking up a fight between 2 people. Usually the person breaking up the fight doesn't get hit. At least not on purpose.
@@rdot980 You were more humanly with your response. Sometimes you're just less likely to get stung. That seems to be a catalyst of some strange kind.
These videos don't have that "one hive" that doubles as a pit bull in the colony closest to the road. I'm not complaining at all, but alot of us get stung up and worse.
@@rdot980 I'm gonna be the guy that catches that action on the way into tha apiary.
I am literally in amazement at you finding those queens like that!! VERY impressive. Thank you for sharing.
That’s amazing. It takes an experienced bee keeper to recognize what is going on and know what to do. Good lesson.
Yeah, its like the police on the border, they can see from afar what is going on and can pick them bad guys... this video was amazing.
As a hobby bee keeper with 2-4 hives just for honey production, I have never seen anything like this in my bee yard. Thanks for posting
B Trull how long have you been doing this and how was your first honey?
@@w8n2xhl 14 yrs honey produced depends on what plants in your area and the weather
do you mind explaining why they swarmed? were they too close, or something?
Edward Gabrielsson the hive was getting too full. That’s why people usually split hives to make more room.
Howdy from the Pacific Northwest…I’m a ‘newbie’ beekeeper who bought two complete hives, tools and two bee nucs ‘just for honey’…and..so to speak…caught the bug! I’m currently pushing towards 50 hives with a goal of 200 which I think might be the limit for my pasture’s acreage and at my age. As I get older I realized that my sheep seem to get bigger and faster and more stubborn each year….so I’m on a ten year plan to move out of sheep and into bees to make my living!….all from my honey hobby!
My dad raised bees for 50 yrs. I helped harvest supers and swarms every year. I would never wear less than a veil, heavy shirt, and gloves cause 1 or 2 hives were mean ass bees. Bees in this video seems so tame, wish ours were like that.
Awesome video! Might be time to invest in a gopro to give you both hands
Your like the bee whisperer lol 😂 iv never saw anything like it 🤷♀️u know your stuff and can tell this is your passion thanks for sharing 👌it’s now 6am I’m officially addicted to something I never knew I was even interested in lol 😂
Wow, I've watched a lot of bee videos, including yours, and this is something I've never seen before. Fascinating that there are marked queens! Great job videoing this and informing us. Thanks Dave!!
Unreal David. The package i got from you on June 1st i split 3 times into 2 frame nucs. I put 1 frame of plastic foundation and 1 frame of foundationless and I had to put 2 of them in 2- 5 frame nuc cause they were packed out and I didnt want them to get swarm in their little heads. They are looking good. Love the videos. They are never to long.
Wish I had your luck my package as soon as they had 2 frames drawn (one frame of eggs and larva) they killed the queen but the new queen is huge at 3cm it's also fat
@@eastsiders3627 "it?"
Thank you for this video. This definitely helps those of us who are still a little new to caughting swarms! Also your videos on caring for hive beetles have helped me out a ton! Appreciate all your time in educating others.
You have the most amazing adventures in your yard. I learned so much from this one video.
That was superb really exciting to watch you finding all those Queens.
I can't believe anyone would give this video a thumbs down. Just saying.
I love getting into bees but I will always be the guy in the enormous ‘everything covered twice’ beesuit. All my life I have just shrugged off stings until four years ago I got stung twice by some highly aggressive wasps after being stung by a bee near the house. I went into anaphylaxis and nearly died. Since then I have had to carry epipens and immediately inject after the sting …before I pass out and can’t breath.. My doc says some times that just happens after one sting too many. I just refuse to let it keep me from enjoying beekeeping. Thanks for the great videos. It’s great to learn about bee behavior. …like regicide being a thing when there are too many queens….
I don't know how you record all this so calmly. I would be in an absolute panic!
I wish there was a bee CPR kit!
I’ve watched this several times and every time it amazing, love it! Thanks David!
Such a nice show, I've always wanted to keep bees, now I live in a 55+ community so that's out,I still like to watch things like this
Lots of Beeks are 55+... including Me ! And I don't live in a 50+ place... 👀
Get a Hive in that Community Garden, if you have one. Or visit a Bee Club or Association !

Happy Beekeeping 2022.
🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝
You have remarkably peaceful bees! It's wonderful
I find this stuff fascinating!! Guy really knows his stuff.
Great video thank you again
I have built a lot of 2 and 5 frame boxes like you have and I like em. Just wanted to tell you I built some 10 frame boxes like them. Thanks for all your help David!
David, have you ever seen or heard of bees being able to kill the queen that is in a cage? Although they cannot ball the queen that is in the cage, can they cover the ventilation enough to cause the queen to overheat? Can the attacking bees cause the bees in the cage to turn on the queen and kill her? Or can the attacking bees get their stingers into the queen in the cage?
David,
Thank You for the video of the multapull queen swarm finding that video is great that is one in a life time for most bee keepers. David thank you again your videos are of great value I go back and look at them again and again.
Richard
This was a fun video! Wow! 9 queens in one swarm (after all the little swarms joined together!). I don't think anyone can deny to you that its possible to get multiple queens in one swarm - and how it happens. You just showed them. But your bona fides go beyond showing - its how you could look at a few bees on the side of a box, or on the ground, and know there is likely to be a queen in there. And then you go in and find her. That is a very special kind of experience. And marked queens to boot! Amazing! Loved this video, but I hit the button, they still don't have a "Loved it" button!
That's awesome. I really enjoy your videos. Keep up the good work :)
You are a true beekeeper
So much fun! I caught my first 3 swarms this year on Vancouver Island, Canada. Up until then i had never even seen a swarm. Videos on my channel.
There is amazing I never seen so many queens together
🐝🐝 Very good education here, I enjoyed your video. You rock David! 🐝🐝
This video never gets old. Amazing.
Excellent video..thxs for sharing!
Hello Sir, thank you for the excellent show of swarmed bees and finding so many queens, which is awesome 👍👍👍👍
That's good stuff to know and learn thank you for sharing that with us . i love watching your video's and gathering your knowledge. Keep up the good work and have a happy 🐝 set season.
The bees are so beautiful and cute!
One thing that needs to be highlighted for a new beekeeper is what you say @20:20. This phenomenon doesn't happen in the wild. Very rarely you will catch a swarm and find more than 1 queen. Sometimes virgin queens will get caught up in the swarm but rarely more than 1 mated queen. Still never hurts to look.
Barnyard Bees I have multiple queens in my Japanese honey bees. not sure if they are virgins or not
Fantastic video!! 🐝🐝🐝☮️☯️
Great video dude, think you are the best beekeeper out there
Awesome
david: save those dead queens and grind them up to make lures for swarms. One drop of queen essence can really lure bees. See more than one makes a confusing queen smell so tremendous lure. In alcohol to save them.
Was just about to comment this! Save dead queens in alcohol always, thank yourself later
Can you explain how to do this please?
Wow! Amazing video capture! Wow!
Wow Dr. David at work!!! Amazing skill!
" i gotta put it on pause so I can show you" followed by showing. subscibed
Thanks for sharing your knowledge and experience, your camera work is pretty good too for juggling with one hand.
Awesome video
Incredible video! Nine! Nine queens!
very informative video.... thank you for the information..
This is a way cool video. Thank you for making and sharing this video.
Having that many hives and bees in close proximity vastly changes the dynamics of bee behavior. The mixing and volumes of different chemical interactions they rely on and we as bee keeps have come to rely on for predictability are vastly different around a large apiary. I've handled and worked bees for over 20 years on a smallish hobby capacity and I've never seen a swarm with more than one queen. I certainly could have missed an extra queen on a few occasions but I would recognize the balling tendency you show here so I doubt I have missed many, if any, extras in swarms.
I doubt that is anything very common that most people will ever see first hand. It is always fun to watch at your place however and a good thing to keep in mind as a possibility.
Brent
I was thinking the exact same thing...
I noticed some of the queen boxes had attendants in them. Where did those come from? If from the swarm that was trying to ball her, what makes them accept her now?
The greatest bee video ever 😉😉👍👍😃
Wow !!! Just wow !!!!
All ways someting new to learn . A + Sir Dave.
Barnyard. Amazing video. Thank you!
Dude. You are a boss grabbing those the way you do. Props!
Thank you for such a great video
bees are so calm, they must be the Gandhi variety.
Were any of the queens mated? LOL Great video! You have a gift my friend and tons of patience.
Amazing. Thanks for teaching us. I have learnt a lot.
Amazing Swarmy Bees
Would you show and explain the different appearance of a Virgin Queen and Mated Queen.
macv9959 SMH SERIOUSLY
I'd like to see this too!
One is smiling the other isnt
@@billcoley8520 run along little troll
Really you think I’m a troll? Not. Pissy democrat
you have balls of steel!! I would have poofed up within the first minute. 🤦♀️ great video 💙🐝💙
AWESOME video. You're crazy walking around with flip flops though lol
Thos explains a LOT, I have learned a lot from this video.
Thank You for the information
Had to watch this a second time I enjoyed it immensely the first time.
I would high tail it out of there. You are one brave man.
Lol rolling bees like ball🔥
Wow! That's amazing. Thanks for sharing.
Oh My Goodness! Who are you. I'm new... this is the first one I'm seeing from you.. and I shared on Facebook.
Your Amazing. I would bee in a hazmat suit though.
I wish I could raise Bees 🐝 🐝 because I love them. I love Honey 🍯 too
I make medication from 🍯 Honey 🍯 😋
Thanks so much. You would love beekeeping.
Your Welcome. Yes I'm sure I would if I was able.
I just now happened on your channel 😳 Wow! Don't know how you handle them. I'm saving your videos on my Bees Favorite 🐝 you are my first one on that list. Thank You for sharing. I'm subscribing for sure 👍
See alot of different ones.
You are my favorite 💛 please Teach us well sir 🙏
So interesting.
You should do a time lapse of your home made swarm
This incredible. I've learned so much from watching your videos. So sad about the dead queens.
9 Queens, sounds like the dream chess game to me!
WOW!!!! Thank you!!! I’m always learning more and more about bees.
That was amazing. Love learning new thing with bees.
What an amazingly informative video about swarms! Thanks Dave for another great video.
Thanks for this video, it was very informative!
Wow amazing 👌👌
they killed those queens fast. Amazing
This is an amazing video. Been watching bee keeping videos for years, yet I live in the city and never intend to have bees (i'm 74). I have one question which I think is a good one. When you pick up the queens you get their pheromones on your fingers right? Why don't the other bees try to sting (kill you) like they would the queen? Oh wait. I think I know. Am I right? They don't kill each other either because they recognize the queen? Are they really that smart? I liked and subscribed.
there was another queen in that two frame box at 14:48 time
Evan Bailey I saw her too! ☺️
Good ifo for New beekeepers like myself
oh ya know,,,, just picks up a ball full of bees
And rolls it around in his hand like it’s a toy lol
I think a go pro would help you be able to record & keep your hands free, you can just strap it to ya instead of having to hold it.
But this was VERY fascinating. I didn't know there could or was more than 1 queen to a swarm. That's very interesting, not only that but your very knowledgeable about the bees & the signs & communication they show & do to be able to read them to know what is going on. Thank you for sharing this experience as well as your knowledge of these little fascinating Creatures. ☺
Dang you have so much knowledge its impressive ! Very interesting.
I just had a swarm move in end up finding 15 queens I was able to save 12 of them the problem here in Florida at this time of year there’s not very many drones. some were definitely mated queens, but some virgin.
So I guess a bee in the hand is worth a swarm in the nuc? Lol!
Things that happen in beeyards with hundreds of hives, hahah. I want some Barnyard Bees!!!!!!
This is so fascinating
Dude how are you talking
I would have been like : well guys as you can see.. bubahlabalahla
Mid video, you can see his shadow and that he's wearing a bee hat so none of them fly into his mouth lol
Oh my I learned something because I had a swarm come in was in a tree and I looked across to our daughter's housethen I saw another swarm of bees from across the field about 20 acres heading to the same tree. Minutes later I looked in another direction I saw another the third swarm of bees heading towards the ranch from a hundred acres across from us.all three landed in three separate parts of the tree and about 15 minutes later before I could get everything ready to see if I could capture him they had moved into one swarm in the tree before they have been three separate swarms. I had to run and get my suit on really quick in it at least a hat and run over and check to make sure it wasn't my bees that were swarming. I checked my height in my queen was still in there well at least I know I have adrenaline because it was sure pumping when I saw all those bees. And was happy to see my bees we're not swarming
Faye, did you catch those swarms? Sure hope so.
Need a camera man to record for ya.
I really learned some things with this video. Thanks for sharing!
that was unexpectedly interesting
I never seen anything like this. How doent he get stung. Thats amazing.
Her tail!!🤣🤣🤣
We need to get this man a tripod
