I like Yappy but you are as laid back as him. You love the bees as much as him. You know to treat them gently and whilst not particularly happy they don't feel any danger. I can't imagine getting swarmed. It is really a bee paradise. Stay safe and thanks for sharing.🎉🎉🎉🎉😊
Former Commercial Beekeeper here (60's-70's) before I went military and, now just keeping one/two hives for fun. You brought me back to my days in Southeastern Mass, with my Dad and the odd swarm removal job. Had a week job at removing two swarms from two opposite corners of a 2 story square house in Taunton, MA The hives were in one stud width (16") space on the two corners from the top floor to halfway down the bottom floor, so we pulled the exterior clapboards and got them out, splitting them out into 5 different hives. The really interesting thing, I was 13 at the time and I noticed the residents of the house had an oddish grouping, one nice elderly lady and eight or nine young 'daughters'. My Dad explained it to me after we were done. I'm quite familiar with your techniques, although back then we didn't use vacuums, just set up a set of supers, one with drawn frames, and then laid swarm comb in the other, shook in the queen and then mounted it on the side of the house near the original entrance. They would set up new housekeeping while we worked, cleaning the original cavity out. That evening, of course, we screened them and took them away. Thank You Sir!!!
WOW! That was the biggest wild hive I've seen. Them bee's were mad.. Look at all that delicious honey! 😋 The owners should invest in a bee hive and start harvesting honey! Very Cool!!!

Hello, Randy! What a fantastic presentation of a very unusual situation with those bees. Thank you for mentioning me at 10:50 I really appreciate that additional bit of spacial information. Also, what a convenience that Everything BeeVac is no matter where you go. Oh man! You even mentioned me in the video description? (';')... ( ';')...

After a while you will get used to it. Depending on the bee species you work with, you can get to the deepest parts of the hive, bees swarming you, but you won't get sting. Bees can be really chill. Also, he used smoke to mask the aggressive pheromone signal. If the bees can't sense the "let's sting" pheromones from others you are pretty safe.

I think the hose tip makes a difference on how much damage is done to the bee. A nice big wide opening is best since there is not as much pressure or speed change compared to a small / narrow opening like whats used in the video.
Fun fact: honey bees(also known as the western honey bee due to their natural habitat being in the western hemisphere) are invasive to the U.S and outcompete native pollinators and spread diseases they’re the reason why other bees have for example gotten the deformed wing disease that has destroyed the bumblebee population. :(
@@628DirtRooster Randy, will any smoke get rid of the honey bees? I know wood smoke will. How about an Oil soaked rag, will this smoke run the bees away? If not, what oils will make them leave the hive? Also, will Soapy water kill the bees? Like a dishwashing soap and warm water? I know it will get ride of all wasps. I am not sure about the Honey bees! Thanks, D
One of my uncles was stationed in Biloxi in the Air Force when I was little. I remember being totally amazed when he took me with him to get some shrimp. I don't know where I thought they came from in my farm kid brain but throwing that net and loading that bucket with shrimp was a miracle to me. No casino boats back then.
Bee keeping is almost a lost art. My grandfather kept bees and I was fascinated with the way he did everything. Keep up the great work. These videos are so interesting! I’m looking forward to everyone of them!
In his teens, my dad worked for his uncle who kept bees. Dad and could pick.up a bee by the wings and never harm them. Said that was how they found queens in swarms. Uncle was the swarm patrol in their north Calif town. Dad loved working with Uncle. Kept him busy and took advantage of teen male strength. He learned so much from Uncle as well as loving the attention he got.
I grew up in Va. doing professional horse farm work. We would start at 4:30 in the morning and get done by 10-11 am to beat the heat! I now live in the northeast, Massachusetts! lol! 😊 ❄️

are you going to relocate the bees?? whatt happens to the bees you vacuumed up? ive thought about keeping bees before , seems like a fun rewarding hobby
It is an absolutely amazing hobby/business/addiction! The bees and their brood (the comb with baby bees) are reunited in a managed hive to live their lives.
I've been stung by a wasp once and it did not bother me much, except the initial sting. Sweat bees are no biggie for me, either. On the other hand, I've been stung by honeybees a few times as a kid. There is a world of difference. The sting itself is very painful and then it swells and feels really tight and feels like fire and extreme itch for a few days. You must not react like I do to these stings.
Hey 👋 there Randy‼️ I just ran across your video while scrolling… I used to watch your videos ALL The TIME‼️ Then they kinda disappeared 🧐 I’m excited to see you again! Charlotte from NC
Great job. We need all the bees we can save. Lastly I loved the photography at the end of your video. Whoever the photographer is they have a good eye. ☺
I love how you are so gentle with them. Bees are so important. Most people would just get someone to kill them all and yank the combs out. That's what happened to my neighbor's house, and it broke my heart. Thanks for loving the bees!

19:16 I swear by it. One honey bee sting gives me 4-6 weeks of zero joint pain. The three days of insanity causing itching is another story that's best dealt with by using Alegre.
I while back I told you about my two hives in Minnesota and how I had many bees but not a drop of honey. I thought about a queen excluded, but I don't remember why. You said "no." I reduced the entrance to 1/2 inch but the yellow bees (mine are black) kept coming. I screened off the entrance for some days and fed them sugar water. Both of them put up some, although very little, capped honey, with a lot of nectar in process. The screen stopped the robbing but the small entrance, and no escape, cost me one colony. They all piled up at the entrance. I would send you a picture but I don't know how. The other hive thrived. I am feeding the remaining hive the honey from dead one, internally. I am hopeful. They look good.
❤ Loving your pictures! You truly have an eye for photography! I loved the one with the pier & the seagulls around it! The big tree one was great too! I loved them all but those 2 were my favorites!
Such a fascinating barn! Someone was living the life at some point with all that old stuff. I love the random photos at the end. Was that your phone or do you use a camera? It’s crazy but they are things we walk or drive by and we all think not important but in a photo it’s appealing and gives a strong vibe or feeling.
Hi Randy. How sensitive is the capped and uncapped brood to the absence of worker bee temperature regulation? When the bees are vacuumed off the brood, will it emerge without issue, or is there a time period where it'll be ok without warmth from the cluster?
Good question. That completely depends on the weather and how you’re storing combs as you remove them. If it’s warm and humid enough or of you can keep the bees on it (no vac method) you can save a lot of the brood. Also storing it in an ice chest helps, no ice of course. On cool days or in arid environments you’ll lose most of the open brood. It just becomes hive beetle bait. Older capped brood survives pretty well even without much care. The more mature brood can sometimes survive a couple of days and still emerge without the care of the colony.

Bees don't like to sting if they don't have to because it kills them. Plus, the smoke is like Zanax to them. Wasps are another story altogether.
