Beekeeping ROOKIE Catches BIG Swarm of Honeybees

In this video you'll watch me catch my first swarm of bees - ever! I've never done this with a mentor, I've never helped someone...so...please don't take my technique as the "right" way.

Just found your channel today. Really unique videos, very well done.

Thank you!

That's a pretty big swarm. I hope they wintered over well. Fortunately, the swarms I was able to get the last couple years have wintered over pretty well so far.

I haven't checked them this season but I think I saw a few around the yard today on this nice day we had. I am really praying for them to pull through!

You're brave my friend! That is awesome!

Or crazy, one or the other :)

May Yahuah give you a great harvest of honey.

Thank you Emrick! I don't think I'll get any this year but hopefully next year, Yahuah willing!

That was awesome to watch!
I'm sorry you got stung though.
Was that two different bunches of bees or was that the same bunch that flew away?

I think it was just one big swarm with one queen. I only ever found one queen cell in the hive I think they split from...so even though there was two clumps on the tree, I think they were all following one queen.
