  • This Might Not End Well .......is not an understatement ! Everything about this swarm catch is going against me. Late in the day call, I can't get them the next day, temps are dropping and its going to freeze tonight. I could have but didn't bring the Colorado Bee Vac which was a big mistake. And cold bees don't move!
    Here we are at it again and I'm excited to share another episode of my bee adventures with all of you. the bees however, not so much. They were not on board with being famous and I can't blame them. Bad timing on their part but it's my job to save them.
    I hope you enjoy it as much as I did and remember, I am a trained professional.....wink wink. Don't try this at home. or anywhere else for that matter.
    Honeybees can always be dangerous and it is not recommended to attempt to remove them with experience with bees or construction knowledge.
    I hope you enjoy this little bit of fun. I enjoy your feedback in the comments and thank you for taking the time to check out my channel. Until the next time, enjoy the show.
    Yappy Beeman is a professional bee remover performing live honey bee removals in Alabama as "Alabama Bee Rescue" and relocates them to apiaries away from residential areas so they can rebuild and thrive as a honey bee colony producing honey. Yappy is an Alabama Beekeepers association member that has performed over 1000 live bee removals. Yappy with the help of his great friends Jpthebeeman, 628 Dirtrooster bees, Jeff Horchoff and many others, I have learned many skills to remove bee swarms and honey bee colonies safely for the bees and home owners alike.

    Yappy, I'm not trying to be rude, but is your right hand (on screen... it might be left in real life) like that from being stung so much or was it always that way? I hope you don't take offense to my question. I really appreciate all your videos. I'm a 100% disabled veteran of the USAF and USArmy and I really want to get into beekeeping. My wife wants me to buy a Nuke or established hike, but I was really hoping to catch my own swarm. What advice would you give me for my first hive? I've built a top-bar hive that I was thinking would be easier to use as my first hive, but now I'm not so sure. Thanks in advance for any advice you are willing to give and Shalom Aleichem!

      I actually just put them in one box when I got home with a double deep setup. It was too much room but if there was 2 queens I believe they would have separated into the 2 clusters again even though they were boxed. I only found the one Queen and they were all clustered together the next day. I think the swarm was too big for the small bush was why there were 2 separate bundles

    What is needed is a lithium battery rechargeable low wattage heater that is the size of a frame. Just turn it on and install it in the box. Boy they might think it was great and might encourage them to head straight for the warm box! We have some livestock heaters that get just a bit warmer than ambient. So if it is say 50°F outside, they'd get 70°. To the human touch, it doesn't feel really warm but it makes a world of difference!

    A clear plexiglass cover clipped/locked over a hive with a hose attachment toward the swarm side of it used to vacuum up the swarm with an attachment for a vacuum hose at the top back of the hive to attach a battery powered vacuum and a baffle/filter to prevent bees from clogging or being sucked into it?

      Or just have a Colorado bee vac on had. Less complex.

      @@YappyBeeman Yes, I've seen you use one of those, but I was going by what you had on hand in this case or, for that matter, what any bee keeper or wrangler would. Adding a DIY version of what I detailed wouldn't cost $320 like the Colorado Bee Vac.

      I put them in the same box when I got home and only found 1 queen the next day.

    What happens if you accidentally kill the queen? Can you find another one? Merge them with a different hive?

    • @YappyBeeman
      @YappyBeeman  Před rokem +3

      You cane do either. They will accept a new queen fairly easy or they can be combined with another hive.
