She sells her honey I think on her website

Thank you for showing my family that hives can be rehomed. Our neighbor sold his huge property an had a dead old growth tree that has a huge hive of honey bees thriving in it and the new owners want to kill them. They were going to set it on fire. But we googled an this nice couple spent two days straight finding the queen amidst the river of honey flowing from that thing while carefully digging the queen out. It was so big she found two queens! I never knew that could happen. No bees died (needlessly at least, a few causalities are unavoidable during moveing) an we had so much honey we didn't know what to do with all the combs and it was all thanks to your videos.

Being severely allergic to bees as a kid and going through several years of inoculations taught me deep appreciation for bees. People would always wonder why i was drawn to something that could kill me. Lets say that respect is a great motivation. Amazing little creatures!

When you have done it a few times you get more confident. Try it with a swarm. Most of them are really gentle. What I do to check temperament is to walk up and stand about 3m away and watch them for a bit. If a bee doesn't bounce off your forehead, take another step, and then another until you are right up next to them. As Erica says, move slowly, then gently shove your hand in. It's warm and tingly.

I always appreciate Erica for her knowledge and insight on the bees, I also give a gold star for her handling of them, she is so gentle with them, you can see they accept her as one of their own after awhile, I guess after they notice she's trying to help them and is not a threat. We need more people like Erika's good heart and soul!

Watching you and your bees were a much-needed mental health break. Thank you!

Every time I need a softer approach to life her videos seem to arrest my anxiety and depression her voice is so soothing and comforting and of course not many people have a command of their emotions when working with bees so she is absolutely amazing of showing people how to handle a colony of bees 🐝 with little fear and the bees respond well to her presence

I really like this girl, SHES very smart on BEE care, GREAT JOB thank you,

Love how you remove them so carefully. Making sure to transport their hive in a box and allowing them to get back to work while you round them all up. You make sure to respect them and just want to help them move to a different spot. ❤

I LOVE how you rescue the bees. You have such a natural way of handling them and you have such a calming voice. I like watching your episodes of rescuing the bees. Keep up the Good Work.

I honestly could watch her saving bees all day!

I support the bee lady, because she is doing something that MOST don’t have the guts to do. I rarely use gloves in my hives. I’m sure you get stung sometimes. I dropped frames when I started,that’s a great way to get stung if your looking 😂 I’m sure you work early in the day also.

Love that you say... it was another great day of saving the bees. Thank you for all you do for them!

Thank you so much for saving the bees. Not only is it good for them and their family but it's good for us and our family. You are such a gentle soul.

The bees like you because you are the Queen of the Bees!

Totally agree, every bit the bees make benefits humans and bees, and very healthy!

When you load the beehive box onto your truck, You can put the box in front of the axle not over/after. It will give smoother ride for bees and their delicate bee nests. Also, you can get a high density foam block, place them under the beehive box and strap them.

Your videos are so relaxing. I actually had a dream last night, after watching so many of your videos, that I had bees in my chimney, dripping with honey. Lol! Thank you for bee...ing one with nature. You have a special gift.

Erika's voice always soothes n calms me into a lovely state of relaxation. No wonder the bees are always calm with her, her energy probably soothes the bees into a meditation chill out state!❤😂👍🙏

That compost bin is the exact same as mine that a hive built in. Unfortunately, something ( a raccoon I think) rotated the bin and killed some of them and made the hive leave. A few days later some bees started coming back, but since the queen had left, they just kept coming back to feed on the honey combs. I wish I could get them to come back to stay.

Something about putting the trap on the roof or in a tree. Called it a dadant trap. I also have one of those compost bins I got from Amazon for $50 3-4yrs ago. Turned mine nearly every day since. Because if you do, it will make compost in about 3 weeks. But I'm just learning about bee keeping myself. Hear you can get actual hives for pretty cheap. Or build easily. Good luck on your Queen quest. ✌️🐝❤️

Sharing the wax that the bees ‘shared’ with you, then ‘shared’ back to the bees. I love it! What really good work you do, Erika. I’m such a fan. I miss the bees that used to live somewhere close to me. They would come and share my tea that I made extra sweet for them. We both sipped the tea, unless they were all around the cup. This was my favorite time of every day, the bees coming to visit each day at the same time. I just opened my door and in they came. In and out, a line of bees following the lead bee, into my house, to my tea glass. They’re so soft to touch, and I always touched them when they were thick and intent on their feeding, at my house or at my mother’s house around the hummingbird feeders on the patio. But one year they didn’t show up, and they haven’t been back since. I get a little if bumble bees and occasionally I’d see a velvet ant or two. But my bee friends have been long gone. It’s been sad. I hope their new hive is safe and thriving. I really hope that someone didn’t do - I don’t want to think about that. The bees, the beeees🐝🐝🐝

Your vid’s inspired me. My city suburb allows two hives. So I put out traps in trees in the garden and on the roof. After ten days I had my first two hives. I have a healthy hive and a question hive. I saw pictures that included you during my studies at a summer bee camp on a farm. My question hive experienced a dearth lack of nectar because of ant robbing. It was only my first examination but I concluded that my queen is dead and I put the new Dadant trap I’d used in a tree on the roof this time to find a new queen. I saw a scout bee but since then we’ve had stormy weather.

Just so you know, they sell little pre-made beehive/bee houses made out of wood and bamboo at Lowes, Home Depot, and sometimes even the garden center at Walmart. They're relatively inexpensive too... I really wouldn't recommend using one of these compost tumblers as a beehive, they cost several hundred dollars and there's no guarantee the bees will even move in there

A friend has 4 hives, and every September, I get to help with honey harvest. My proze for helping is good size piece of comb, and a quart of honey. We pulled 7 gallons out of the hives last time, and left plenty for the bees to winter on.

You are truly the bee whisperer. I have no idea how you accomplish this without a suit. Well done, indeed.
