  • These nice folks called me about a honey bee swarm on/in their Meyer lemon tree. This tree is full of killer thorns & the bees were all up in this thing!
    I shook the swarm, caged the queen & left the hive box there until nightfall. Went back & took them away, along with a dozen free range eggs to boot!
    The eggs were delicious & my wife & I went through them pretty fast!
    I sure hope Ms. Vicky gets bees again, them eggs sure are good!

      They're quite docile in a swarm. Break into a hive that's full of honey and then you get aggression.

    Out fishing on a 10,000 acre lake yesterday. My boat became the landing zone for a bee 🐝 swarm. Watching your videos told me to remind calm. I took my boat towards the shoreline. Which was about 100 feet away. I slowly fanned the bee clusters and they finally left my boat. It took about 45 minutes.

      I'd probably still be sitting there frozen. Strangely around bees I tend to freeze up so I don't disturb them & get stung. Then I run like hell.
      That or I'd be swimming for it.

    Avocado tree... you always need two of the correct, different, varieties to get fruit.
    As far as your freezing weather just get the right varieties. I'm in zone 9a, but I still had a couple of nights at 20 f... no special protection, and the Avocados had no issues..didn't even drop their leaves

    • @JPthebeeman
      @JPthebeeman  Рік тому

      In all my years living in southeast, Louisiana I’ve only seen one large thriving avocado tree. The homeowner said it definitely took its blows over the years due to cold spells & there were areas that looked dead or messed up as I recall but he said when it produced fruit there were tons to be had!

    • @duanesamuelson2256
      @duanesamuelson2256 Рік тому

      @JPthebeeman then there was at least one other avocado within pollination range. type A has flowers, which produce pollen in the morning and accepts pollen in the afternoon, and type B in the morning and pollen in the afternoon. Mother nature doing her best to prevent them from self gratification I guess lol.
      I did live in LA for a few years (courtesy of uncle sam), and I would guess that the biggest threat is water in your area. Avocados don't like wet feet. I rented a house on an old homestead which had a couple of massive avocados, no fruit, but the owner said lots when he was a kid. The homestead was about 20 miles south of ft polk and the trees were 60 years old.
      Definitely not discounting your experience, but there are avocados that thrive there, just plant well clear of wet ground.
      And I enjoy your videos..keep up the great work.

    The original parent root stock of citrus, still used as a base for grafting onto, is called a thorn. But I didn't know the spines were that vicious-looking. I'm glad you didn't impale your hand, JP! I would suggest the lady property owner have a frame built over the avocado and a frost cloth placed over it during winter. This may help. Col, B of I, NZ

      Did you know that avocado do not grow true to seed. So if you had an avocado tree that produced good fruit it was almost certainly grafted from an already existing good avocado tree.

The next morning I went out and took a look around the bush and saw a huge swarm bunched up. But a few days later I went back and they were gone. I’m lucky I wasn’t allergic, I was stung 6-8 times before I got back to the house. Roger in Pierre South Dakota
