Dirt, great video, but can’t believe you left out the best part where you fell off the ladder & Horchoff caught you while wearing his cute little blue rubber gloves! Was hoping to see that too! 😉🤘🐝

After all the videos I've watched as old as this one is, I heard the queen. Thank you Randy!

It never gets old.

Traffic engineers call that new type of intersection a "Diverging Diamond"

"Is a way, of, life." Makes me smile everytime, not even a bee keeper, yet...

lol when you talk about the queen being mated or unmated at 14:09 you can see the queen marked white :) nice catch

I had a big swarm hanging from the eave of my house. A bee keeper came and used a long feather and brushed them into a cardboard box. A big ball of them dropped to the ground like an apple falling from a tree. So neat to watch them.

Thanks Randy, I really enjoy your videos, I love how you and Jeff tease each other. I think the winner of the swarm competition should get a 628DirtRooster hat, lol.

I'm still catching swarms in Oregon, 3 so far and two in the last week. Going to do a cut out from a log today.

That second swarm was so large, your standards, I'm surprised you didn't add another deep to it immediately, after all, they did almost fill that brood frame......at least one side of it. After thinking about it, you probably didn't add that second deep super because all you probably had was more of those nice moldy frames. I will give this to you though, you raise some might hardy bees, if they can survive in your bee yard, they can survive anywhere. I almost hit 41 swarms today, lucky for you they took off an hour before I showed up. God's peace brother.

I just caught a swarm just outside my bee yard (obviously one of mine), I shook them into a 10 frame box w/foundation only, I didn't have any drawn frames left. They are sitting on a bottom board at the base of the tree they came out of and seem to have accepted the box. I'd like to move them into the bee yard, what do you recommend ? Thanks

At 14:09, in the upper right corner of the brood frame, I believe I see a marked queen! It may be small, but I think its a prime swarm! Happy Fourth of July Rooster - to you and yours! Great video! 2 in 1, plus the Mrs! Thank you!

I cought 1 swarm this year but with all my friends are scared of bees and cannot help me for this reason. After getting one I am thinking I will count on splits and leave the swarms to the younger ppl. I got my bees late this spring and split it 2 times this year. I run 10 frame deep boxes and found I can split in early 2 frames with 1 honey frame, now feed them both pollon patties and sugar water, and they will grow from that. So splits are my thing its easier then swarms my 2 cents after trying it cheers. I now sit at 3 hives for winter but look out next year end of Aplil I plan 4 more 5 frame nukes then split them in July again cheers and thanks for all your help

Lol your wife, Elizabeth, saved me the other day. I drove “on the wrong side of the road.” First time I ever saw it. Because of her comment, I immediately knew what I was driving on. Lol. It was freaky. But fortunately, because she talked about it, I knew *exactly* what I was doing! Man, the engineer that thought that up must be pretty smart! (I wonder how long it them to convince the powers that be that it’d work??)

LOL! You were so much higher than it looked initially. The camera really makes heights and elevations look way off. That’s a lot of work going up on the ladder to get them to bunch up. Awesome job buddy!

I remember D'Iberville after the storm.. man the smell of the rotting shrimp was unreal. I stayed right next to the pops ferry bridge.. nice area, but very economically depressed.

If it has a queen, it's a swarm. Yes, I did hear that queen piping.

Great Video Dirt Rooster. When you were talking about getting stung by the bees for someone reason you triggered a memory of an old cartoon character I used to watch. He would have said something like this.. " We don't need no. I say we don't need to bee suit son! You have to out smart the bees. Use the old gray matter to avoid getting stung." If you haven't guessed. It was Foghorn Leghorn. Lol Idk why I thought of that but I started laughing. Have a great one brother. Keep up that great work

Man, you are so brave to be handling bees bare-handed. Next time around, I suggest using one of those smoke devices. That will calm down the bees, enough for you to carefully push them aside and fish out the queen.

Scraping them off like that doesn’t make them even more mad? And you are doing it bare-handed. WOW! I bow before your awesomeness. Love your vids. You always make me cringe, itch, scratch & smile (not necessarily in that order). Bee safe!!

Once ceptured and homed, a tiny swarm with a strong laying-queen will soon be just as strong as a big swarm with a so-so queen. It's not about how many bees are in it at capture, but how many more bees it's going to produce.

Are bees more docile when swarming?

Dude you are crazy.

That’s something how they go in them boxes like that.

A SHERPA is an all terrain vehicle. Huge tires. Pretty badass.

If you have multiple queens in a swarm, can you count one swarm for each queen?

As far as a sherpa goes, they haul all that gear up on Mt. Everest., and the dead bodies and trash down. But the word "Sherpa" originally meant "people from the East" and is pronounced "shar-wa" by the Sherpa themselves. Before mountain climbing became a popular pastime in the Himalayas, the word Sherpa simply denoted a group of people who migrated to Nepal from Eastern Tibet.
