This Should Not Bee Possible
Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль
How amazing!!! When I got the call from a warehouse in North Alabama about a honey bee issue they were having, I tried to picture how a colony of bees could move into a void space between a loaded pallet. The fact they had only known the bees to have been there for a few days made it just as interesting. In my mind, it was just bees enjoying the salts from the bags on the pallets. maybe....
So off to the bees I go. When I got on location I saw a bigger issue than the pictures they sent. There were A BUNCH of bees and they weren't just visiting. in fact, I would soon realize they had been there a lot longer than 4 days.
And so the story goes and the video rolls. Hope you enjoy this episode with Yappy Beeman and another colony of bees in places they don't need to bee.
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.

Here is a little bee educational material for ya.
Africanized honey bees (known colloquially as "killer bees") are hybrids between European stock and the East African lowland subspecies A. m. scutellata; they are often more aggressive than European honey bees and do not create as much of a honey surplus, but are more resistant to disease and are better foragers.[23] Accidentally released from quarantine in Brazil, they have spread to North America and constitute a pest in some regions. However, these strains do not overwinter well, so they are not often found in the colder, more northern parts of North America. The original breeding experiment for which the East African lowland honey bees were brought to Brazil in the first place has continued (though not as originally intended). Novel hybrid strains of domestic and re-domesticated Africanized honey bees combine high resilience to tropical conditions and good yields. They are popular among beekeepers in Brazil.
Honey bees appear to have their center of origin in South and Southeast Asia (including the Philippines), as all the extant species except Apis mellifera are native to that region. Notably, living representatives of the earliest lineages to diverge (Apis florea and Apis andreniformis) have their center of origin there.[7]

What a nice looking hive and I love the intro! Because of where they were I figured they would have a salty attitude. Wink wink

My first thought was, a pallet, a pallet of bees. Well at least he could take the whole pallet easily enough. Pre boxed.
Thanks yappy
The bees probably thought the space inside that wooden pallet was just like a hollow tree.

I trust you migrated the swarm to a nice new bee hive as they’ll be happy with their queen in a new home.

@@YappyBeeman its def crazy to see someone like, handle bees without gear since I dont have any experience with it personally and have always been rather terrified of getting stung. Seeing you able to do that and do so many of these videos and seldom getting stung is super neat. So is learning the difference between like, how people remove bees vs wasps. Correct me if I'm wrong (cause I barely know anything), but wasps are the ones that will bite and sting multiple times? Bees only sting one time so it isnt super common.
C'mon Girls, "I gotcha mama, I gotcha mama." Love that little ditty!
The only thing I don't like about your videos is....they're not long enough! LOL, watching you handling those girls is just fascinating, could watch all day long. Have seen you scoop up handfuls of bees many times, and it still amazes me. Cheers!
Wow! What a bee condo!
Yappy I'm loving your videos! I learn so much about my bees just from your love for bees in general. Keep it up! Also, just cuz I'm new to your channel... do you end up keeping all the bees you remove? You must have a huge apiary of you do!
I can't even write all of the cool things because I'd look insane but a few are your ability to "read" the hives and how the bees build "housing" and "factories" is just so effing cool. People like you are who young people should look up to and should never be in need or struggle. There's ball bouncers worth a billion dollars that couldn't survive a week if everything crashed and money became like Venezuela's. BzzzZZZzzzztt bzzzz on!

@Yappy Have you ever considered going live for a Q&A. I got a couple questions out of curiosity, and yes of course i can google them. But Google doesn't have the same charisma and passion that Yappy has.
I got a list of questions I'm a new viewer and subscriber. 1. Do you ever wear protective gear? 2. How many times do you get stung when making videos? 3. Have you ever accidentally killed the queen bee and if so what's the solution to replace the queen? 4. Have you ever been attacked by the whole colony? 5. How long have you been working with bees to feel comfortable not wearing safety gear? 6. What do you do with the bees that you remove from businesses/homes? 7. How did you get into the bee business what spark your interest? 9. What's the biggest hive or colony you've removed and how long did it take you? 10. What's the weirdest place you've seen a colony of bees build their home? Don't need to answer all or none just questions that go through my head when I watch your videos.
nice one. wonder if you would do that to a wasp nest great viewing

When you get to find the swarm and they are in a cluster, you will notice they should be very quite, if they are buzzing and noisy, they are not calm enough, most swarm are very quite, then you can have your catch box handy, just take a scraper about 3 or 4 inches wide and start from a spot and gently scoop them up and place them in the catch box and be looking to catch the queen, once you have her you have it made, sit her in the box and keep taking the swarm of the branch, if it is hanging down on the tree or wherever, just take a good hold on the limb and drop if swiftly above the box and swiftly bring it back up, most will drop into the box, put in a few frames if you have them and try to catch the queen put her into a queen cage and they will all be in the box by night fall unless you get the majority of them before. You can do it. You probably have already learned to listen how quite a content hive is, once you get that down, you are ready to try your first search by just smoking them a little and do what you want quickly and quietly. If my chance, you get stung just scape the stinger off and I always have a little water handy, to put on the sting spot, within a very short time you will not feel the sting. It always works for me, unless, it is a very tender spot, lip, eye browse or such, rarely does this happen. Oh yeah, once you scoop a few bunches down, try it with your cupped hand and you will notice how warm they are and then just shake them off over the box, you will see for yourself there was nothing difficult about this but the first time jitters.
Love these video’s from Mr Yappy 🐝 man…💛 These 🐝🐝🐝 love their home, they don’t want to move out….🤭🍯
Nice shots and video, someday you will catch up to the Dirtrooster 😝…hehe love how you kept after that cluster even with that stinger still in your hand
