Bee Removal In 100 Degree Weather

  • External colonies or "open air" colonies rather are not particularly uncommon in southeast, Louisiana but are not the norm either.
    I relocate anywhere from 3 to 6 open air colonies each season, some have survived out in the open like this for 3-4 years. We have very mild winters & that is the primary reason they can survive this many seasons.
    In geographical areas with much colder winters it is unheard of for an open air colony to make it through even one winter.
    The colony in this video was relocated because there were concerns they would bother roofers doing work just on the other side of the fence where the hive was located.
    Open air colonies can in my experience be more aggressive than other bee colonies because the hive & bees are totally exposed which equates to you being more exposed to a larger amount of bees at one time.
    So, what I'm saying is be prepared to tread lightly when dealing with an open air colony, keep your protective gear very close by & if you're not 100% confident, suit up.
    If you're new to my channel just to let you know I fool with bees in some capacity roughly 10.5 months of the year or more, weather permitting.
    I've been doing this type of work for many years so don't expect to jump right in & do what I do or how I do it without fooling with bees for some time, at least until you understand their biology & establish a comfort level around them.
    If you enjoy my videos please consider subscribing to my channel & tell friends & family about this nutball cajun guy who loves to fool with bees, usually without protective gear but always with a smoker in hand.
    Appreciate you & thank you for being here!

    JP, I have watched a lot of your videos and I must say this is the best one yet with the voice overlay and explanations you share. From 9 and more years ago your editing and video skills have come so very far! Awesome work!

    Hey J.P., Very cool audio on the piping, that was a first for me. Who knew queens would be that loud. Please be careful out in the heat. They make a moisture wicking shirt that really does help to keep cool, I wear mine when I work out in the garden. Stay safe and healthy!

    Hi JP, epic video mate, those open air colonies are amazing I very much doubt we would get open air colonies over here in the UK in fact we would never get weather like you wow over a 100 degrees shoot that’s hot man. I really enjoy your videos you are very informative and your camera work is fantastic. I very much doubt my british black bees would last like 2 minutes in your climate I guess your bees wear plenty of factor 10 sun tan cream where my bees wear Wellington boots and all have umbrellas that’s been are summer so far this year wet wet wet. Well thank you JP great for taking us along with you god bless mate.

    I had to come back and tell you what I found out. Got some honey comb from our local bee charmer. Took it home watched some of your other movies, so great. I went to the kitchen, took out my salad spinner and put cut up pieces of comb. Twirled it. Surprise I have separated the honey from the comb. Just hade to tell you. Thanks for keeping bees safe.

    Cool Video JP. Open air colons are so cool to see and I can certainly sympathize with you about the heat being I'm in Houston. Glad to see both colones were able to be saved. I was worried I wasn't going to be seeing any new videos from you after your Instagram post. Hope things are getting better for you and that you have a great day! God Bless!

    254th! GOOD SUNDAY MORNING JP! Your 100degree weather is very different from the same temperature up here. I visited New Orleans when I was on a cruise. It was in November and it was in the 80s but the humidity was unbelievable! Loved the city, but I don’t know if I could live there. Watching you working in that condition blows my mind!

      Bees work altogether to produce honey for their own living. Unfortunately man considers that he worths it and deprives bees from it.
      At least, man should let some of the honey for the bees.

Good tip about washing out your vac hose, most of us had to lean it the hard way. You never talk about you hives. What size is your apiary? Do you produce honey for sale, or are you focused on providing bees? By the way, here is a phrase I have yet to hear: “That queen is ug-LEEEEE!” Stu

    I'm a 2nd year beekeeper & your videos prepared our 15 yo son & well ahead of time to be confident in catching a swarm to start a new colony a few days ago. Very cool! Last year I mostly had a beekeeping friend start my first colony & do everything all year until fall then I took over very nervously. Your videos really helped us bee excited & calm about bees!! Hey I'm wondering though why you spend so much time saving a wild colony since honeybees reproduce new colonies so rapidly in beekeeper yards? Is it just a love of all honeybees that won't let you just destroy the stray colonies to save time? It must be expensive to hire people to come get a wild hive. What is the value in saving them even though it takes so much longer?

  • @stevewelches1955
    @stevewelches1955 3 роки тому

    Another good one JP.
    I think outside the box a lot and was wondering with the hive being closed up and dark how does the queen know which cells are empty to lay an egg in. I would think she could not see an egg because it is pitch black inside of the hive. What do you think?
