    I find it quite incredible that the bees will move straight into a hive and actually quew up to get in.
    I know very little about bees and most certainly would not make a good bee keeper, it really must take a great deal of presence of mind to know just what they will do.
    I find it very interesting when yoy can watch someone who knows what they are doing, and equally as interesting as to just how much real hard work the bees will do to get into a space they like, when it comes to work i think they take the prize
    Thank you very much for an interesting video.

As you can imagine it went crazy buzzing loudly and stung me inside the ear, my mum tried to remove the stinger but ended up squeezing the venom sac, since then I suffered from PTS Bee when I hear buzzing!

    No way you would be able to face a hive, no matter the size, here in Brazil without protective suit. This time, when the bees get out of the hole and look for your face and head I though that you had finally find a hive of africanized bees before your explanation and all. We're in the fall here in south america (Araraquara-SP) and facing a lot of attacks from errant swarms looking for a place for a new hive and I see how difficult is for firemen to save agressive bees. Often they only option is to terminate the hive. Your job is amazing, we need a DirtRooster around here. Hoping that 2020 is a full year of whole new captures and that bee keeping continue to be a "way of life".

      @@cbass2755 Oh heck yea. I totally agree on that. Bees are essential to nature's and, in turn, our survival.
      I admit, my fear is nowhere near as bad as it was when I was a kid... I've learned a lot over the years, and bees don't bug me (no pun intended) as much anymore, and I even find them quite cute.
      Wasps can still go die in a fire for all I care, but I know they're just as essential to the planet as decomposers, helping to get rid of rotting stuff like dead animals and plants.
      I just wouldn't want to be anywhere close to a nest, even if it's a breed of bees that I know don't/aren't able to sting me. It's the buzzing sound that always gets to me.

    With all these comments, I don’t know if you read them all, just wanted to share something with you. I watch a vet here on UA-cam that gives you alternatives to drugs for your dogs and cats. He suggested for animals with allergies to give then bee propolis twice a day. I was costing me 200.00 a month to keep my dogs skin from getting infected due to allergies. First thing I did was change their dog food to something with no grains. Now I’m trying the propolis. I’ll keep you updated, the Vet said to give it 2 months to see if it makes a difference. I ordered a liquid from amazon and they are to get one drop for every ten pounds twice a day. If I hadn’t watch your videos I would not have known what propolis was. For people they say a full dropper twice a day in water or juice for your allergies. Strange that it smells like alcohol. Wish I could get it fresh, I would carry it around with me and crunch on it just as I have watched you do it! Thank you for all you do.

      He probably sells out just selling locally.
