Pruning roses in my church's garden each summer was a delight, and the presence of the bees always made me so happy! I would hummmmm and they would buzz. Slowly and carefully I'd clip the roses away after I realized early on that they didn't like fast movements and would sting me. (Ice on stings works really well.) The nearby lavender bushes would also delight the bees (and me). I noticed over the years that the bees visiting our garden were less and less, it was heartbreaking to think that so many of them are being killed by humanities ignorance and lack of caring for them.Thank you so much for rescuing the bees and providing a new home for them!
I love sitting outside when it’s warm and watching the bees fly around from flower to flower collecting all the pollen on their little bodies and legs even though I am highly allergic to them and wasps. I just give them the respect that they deserve and sometimes they land on me and I stay still hoping that it doesn’t sting me and they usually don’t and I slowly walk closer to a flower and gently put it closer to the flower and watch it go to the flower and I then smile and watch for a few and walk away saying “enjoy your day and thank you for visiting me” I love them very much and I look forward to seeing them every year ❣️🤗❣️
This was so cool, I never saw anything like this, Wish I was young again!🤪✌🏻 Thanks so much for showing this, SAVE THE BEES!!! Thanks Honey Kaylee😇🙏🏻✌🏻
So incredible how nature works. My neighbor's bees arrive sometime this week. So exciting. He's got 20,000 coming. 2 hives and 2 super hives? I think that's what he said. So excited.
Many years ago, a student brought in pictures of a swarm that was in a tree near the deck. His mom told the story that they heard all of this buzzing and saw something in the sky and ran into the house. They waited and the swarm covered the entire bush. They called a local Nature Center and left the bees alone and took a few pictures. When I saw the pictures, there had to be thousands of bee on this one bush. They bees stayed for a few hours and then took off again. It was a life time experience they will never forget and I will never forget seeing the thousands of bees on one bush. Thank you for being a bee keeper!
OMG! Incredible I was thinking to myself she hasn’t protected her arms…happy to see you changed your mind and how incredible that you are the bee whisperer lol…what a gift for them as well as us all …nature never ceases to impress and amaze me…bless you and thank you!
Birdbath title caught my attention, Nice - on a birdbath so gentle. Took a Bee Biology class at Delaware University from Dr. Dewey Caron a decade ago, best class he was great instructor. A Freind & I rescue songbirds (birds are safer then bees). Birds hit the glass skyscrapers in Newark NJ, Most that hit the skyscrapers perish on impact, or when fall to the cement pavement. TRT made a video named 'Window Strikes in the Business District' of us picking up injured Warblers. The Raptor Trust(TRT) nurses them back to health That birdbath setting was nice to watch.
I love catching swarms, or witnessing them leaving. Witnessing an activity that has been repeated for tens of thousands of years. Gives me goosebumps at times.
You and your Mom are such beautiful and Godly souls. The love and kindness in your hearts for the bees is simply amazing. Thank you for taking us on this journey... definitely could hear the bees calm down. I have a death allergy to bees... my throat seals within 3~4 minutes. However once I learned to not fear them and stay calm (keeping my epi~pen at the ready) I was and am able to work with the hives. They will always have a very special place in my heart.🐝God Bless you.💜✝️

I have made the ultimate medicinal tea,burdock root,plain coconut flakes,wild lettuce,and a few drops of caramel stevia,let it speak for itself,I'm off coffee new morning drink👍
I don't rescue them, I let them go. :) Have let many swarms hit the woods over the years. I make splits if I need any but the rest are free to be free. Seems to work out pretty well. I usually see swarms coming through every year that aren't coming from my hives. I'm happy to contribute to the wild populations. I'm going to take a little honey this year, the first I've taken in about five years. I've finally ran out, being diabetic I don't eat much anymore. Can't imagine not having the girls around though. Just happy to see them bizzy and around to talk to now and then. They're very good listeners ya know. :)
I watched your video and it feels like amazing you have great knowledge about beekeeping ... i am from india himalyan region an apple grower so also have some bee hives for pollination purpose ... i know how important are these little creature for living things very hard worker ... i think every person living in countryside should have bee hives so that they reproduce more ....
I really enjoy watching your channel. You explain things very well, you seem really down to earth, and you do a great job explaining things. Just discovered your channel about a week ago, and I watch a few other people's channel, and your channel is just different than some of the other guys I watch. And different in a good way. Thanks for the content and for making good vids. Have a good day
That is one of the most incredible things I have ever witnessed, you are awesome. Just knowing what the bees want and how they are going to act makes something that looks so risky, turn out so incredible. You should be proud!
Was water in short supply - They need water like we do I guess? There's always a bit of drama with bees around. When I trimmed the basil bush back after winter in my garden they were upset about it, especially as it was in flower and they were gathering nectar from the flowers. They didn't seem to know where to go after that and then they started coming inside after a harrowing time of being chased by them a bit. They were coming to honey residues on the counter top. Lit some penny gum leaves to deter the wee critters...One has to feel for them. They work so hard making their honey and what do we do? - we either steal their honey or take away their flower stores...Poor bees 🐝🐝♥
This was super cool to watch. However, because it went so fast when you released the queen, I wanted to ask about the other bee caught in the clip. Lol. I couldnt tell if she was okay or dropped dead. Anyway, great work!!
@@TheHoneystead Good! 😊 thanks for replying. I recently stumbled upon your channel and I'm so glad. Your life is what I dream of having one day. It's nice to get an inside look. 💚
I use to live in Boston, VA, down the road from Sperryville. I think you're not too far from there. Seeing the countryside as you drove sure makes me miss the area. Thanks for your videos and the knowledge you share.
That was so beautiful and amazing work with the Bee's. You and your mom were so great in the handling the way you were doing with the Queen and her hive
Yay Free bees and your excitement was much like when my husband and I would go on EMT runs in a very remote area in Idaho...now having bees its a new kind of excitement. I agree not locking them for so long. Love seeing you and your mom working together. Thanks for posting
Tis the season indeed! Found my first swam today. Unfortunately it was in high grass and leaves but we made the best of it and they are now in a new home before the cold comes. Fingers crossed.
LOL I think I was as excited as you both were, Good fun watching that, I can't believe you saw that queen land back on the swarm you have better eyes than I do. hopefully the first of many this year Good luck.
I wish I had learned more before getting started. I have become attached to my yellow jackets. I don't have any honey. I know when they sting me it doesn't mean they don't love and appreciate me.
My kind of swarm removal, no ladders needed! Thanks for sharing!

See that? She is very good in identifying queen and the way she put the bees inside box, very gentle.
Thank you for sharing your wisdom with us! I'm looking forward to keeping 🐝 one day!
For sure dont be afraid to get your hands dirty and learn some thing old
Your videos are so informative! I am a new beekeeper and I am learning and enjoying so much watching my girls! It’s so cool.
That was so amazing to watch, thank you for sharing with us, I never realised what a beautiful experience that must be to witness ❤🐝❤ Kate

A very heartwarming video
You're so sweet. I'm just watching you and your facial expressions.💗
Wow!! This was super special to watch!" Thank you for sharing❤️🐝 love those little girls
In a perfect world one can find the queen. It truly was a great place to catch a swarm. I do bee removal/capture bees here in NE Florida.
Many years ago, a student brought in pictures of a swarm that was in a tree near the deck. His mom told the story that they heard all of this buzzing and saw something in the sky and ran into the house. They waited and the swarm covered the entire bush.

Hi from Jamaica 🇯🇲
So very very cool....
Yahooo!!! So Awesome!! Nice rescue🐝🐝🐝🐝
Bees are so freaking cool
Being new at beekeeping, watching this was inspiring. Thanks!
I tried using frames to collect my 2022 swarm. It worked beautifully
I also fed the swarm sugar water and gave them drawn out comb. After a week, they stayed in the hive.

It was the perfect swarm!!! 🙌
I saw a second queen walk right in the box!
Good😘😍🤩

My first swarm was also on a bird bath. Got it on Friday. Definitely the most enjoyable way to get bees
Oh how awesome!!
SO LOVE THIS! Thank you for sharing!
Thank you for sharing this beautiful sight with us…..it’s fascinating to watch!

So interesting!
It looks like another queen comes in front of entrance at the 6:46 mark.
Never gets old watching you catch and rescue bee swarms. So very interesting

That is sooo cool! I aspire to have a hive one day. Nature is so amazing.
100% worth it!!!
Tis the season indeed!
Found my first swam today. Unfortunately it was in high grass and leaves but we made the best of it and they are now in a new home before the cold comes.
Fingers crossed.
Good video, thanks for the up close shots. Really enjoyed it.
Welcome 🤗
Great 👍
That was very cool
LOL I think I was as excited as you both were, Good fun watching that, I can't believe you saw that queen land back on the swarm you have better eyes than I do. hopefully the first of many this year Good luck.
Lol all the feelings!!!
Wow that is amazing and Beautiful 😍
💛
You are sooo cool
Yaaay! that was beautiful. thank you for sharing that experience.
It was so beautiful!
Wow
I thought the bees 🐝 was drinking 🍸 water from the bird bath at first 😅😊
One thing I didn't expect to learn from this channel is that bees falling into a box kinda sounds like pouring beans 😅😂
Beautiful 👍
I wish I had learned more before getting started. I have become attached to my yellow jackets. I don't have any honey. I know when they sting me it doesn't mean they don't love and appreciate me.
Amazing🐝❤️❤️❤️🐝
