Must be very healthy bees around to have such a huge, healthy, swarm. That's great news, particularly since so many bees are dying off from disease and loss of habitat and food supply as land is being converted to housing. Great job! Thanks for saving the bees.

Granted I'm no expert, but that looked like a picture perfect swarm catch to me! And such calm steady camera work too, catching all the action, with a bee on her head no less 😂 You make a great team, thanks for sharing!

Wow, that was truly the smoothest swarm catch and transfer to a box that I've ever seen! I couldn't believe how few bees took to the air in your capture and transfer process. That was slick!

The bottom box is where the queen has to be, then a seperater is put between that and the 2nd box which is called the super. Workers can get in the super but the queen cannot. You take honey only from the super so that the colony can remain healthy.

Hi John, this is Scott. The truck driver from Louisiana. I just love watching your videos. This was the first one and I sure will be watching more of them. Have a beautiful bee day.

Remember going with my dad to catch a swarm. I had to stay right back as i was allergic.we bought one swarm back in the log they were in. Dad just stood it up in the back yard and nailed a cover over the top. A piece of ply with a hand full of nails. They became real quiet and we left them alone. Dad had enough working hives to produce as much honey as he needed.

KZread auto-played this, which I usually don't allow, but I am glad I did this time. From royal jelly production in a Japanese factory to bee keeping in the US. Fascinating, thanks a lot.

Now that was worth coming home to lol what an amazing transfer! Never saw a swarm that size handled so easily!!

In proud of cora too

always put a hive with all ten frames down and a complete EMPTY hive on top and shake swarm into that

Really enjoy your videos. They are soothing and love the videographer. Totally chill, and your soothing and friendly voice are great to watch. Bet you are a great friend / dad. Thank you!

Goodday sir. Nothing wrong the way you do it. Just a few things: 1. Why didn't you move the hive to below the swarm? Doing that you would have minimized the risk of the bees falling to the ground. Every time you cut of a branch my heart stop's beating. Consider yourself lucky the bees did not end up on the ground. 2. After shaking the bees eventually into the hive it would have been better to slide the lid from the side onto the hive leaving an opening to slide in the frames from the side. Thereby lowering the risk of hurting the bees and kept them from flying away. Thanks for sharing the video. Cobus🐳

Hey John, I was watching you hive that monster swarm. That was a dandy, makes you wonder if maybe 2 swarms went together, but maybe not. I used to know a professional beekeeper that showed me the slickest way of hiving a swarm i ever saw, and that is how i have ever since. Put your hive on the ground and shack them off right in front. They will go right in. If you think they might not stay just put a frame of uncapped brood in the box. Takes about 10 min. I never saw anyone else do it that way, but i'v been doing it that way nearly 50 years.

Your video is interesting and amazing! I've never seen anything like this before! I do have a question or two. Do you keep Bumble Bees and if not, why not? I like both types of Bees, but never knew how they interacted with each other. Are they enemies like Wasps are to Honeybees or 🚫 not? And if you were to keep both types, Honey and Bumble Bees, how far apart should one be from the other....if you know? Thank you for sharing your video🎥!! It was very, very good!!

The Bumble Bees I have known were gentle giants, but I've been told their sting is worse than a honeybee's sting. Bumble Bees in nature live in a hole in the ground. I don't know how mixing the 2 types of bees would go. Two or 3 years ago I saw a video of some fellows trying to catch a hive of Bumble Bees living in a container in a trash pile. It did not go well as they became very protective of their home.

Hello John do you ever use a exterior entrance queen excluder when you put a swarm in a hive to help keep them from leaving. I had a swarm around that same size the first of last month an I told the land owner I was out of boxes an I had to get another box so I drove about a hour each way to get some more equipment an to my surprise when I got back the land owner had called her friend that lived near by an she gave my bees AWAY . She said I am sorry she thought they was going to fly away. I would guess they were close to ten pounds of bees there . 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️. Thanks for the update.

You should have a couple bee boxes in a tent and if you put some honey in the boxes , on top of the boxes and hang the branch inside the top of the tent untill they leave the branch and move into the hive.I know putting the queen into the box theyd move but wouldnt you think they would move into the hive all by themselves?
