This is so different. I love it. The fact you mentioned that they are not like termites is awesome. People need to know. Your customer is a rock star. Give him props. You are too for handling the job this way. Way to go man. Hope other bee guys follow suit. Seems to be good for all involved and most importantly the bees. Love your channel and keep up the great work.
Wouldn't it make more sense to move them out of the 'pillar' and into an actual hive box but at the same location since he decided he wanted to keep them around? seems like that would actually be better for everyone, the bees included.
Bravo to you, and bravo to Moe for having the heart and soul of a beekeeper! Not only did this colony survive the winter, but it's clearly off to a strong start this season. I can't wait to see the follow-up. Cheers to you both, and cheers to the bees!
It’s easier than you think. Go to eatwild and then you pick from the state list to see who’s in your area. A lot of them do the honeybee sting therapy for certain ailments.
I think Moe should have relocated them into a new container that way he doesn't have to keep opening his house. Still super cool to see someone that decided not to get rid of them.
Tell ya what, JP. All this watching of your videos is serving me well. I can tell drone brood and queen cells easy peasy, almost able to tell the age of the hive by the color of the comb, the age of the honey by it's color. I've got me a top bar hive to play with for my yard, just plan to keep the one as I am not needing a lot of honey since it's just me. Will get bees next spring I think as I still have a bit of repair work to do to the hive itself and since it's just me it takes me a bit longer than usual these days to get things done. But...I figure the bees will do a lot of good around the neighborhood with the apple trees, flowers, and gardens. I know they will love my huge rose bush. I'm very happy for the bees that Moe wanted to keep them.
Hey JP! Loved the video! Just curious if you do the repair work yourself or if you have someone who you recommend to the homeowner? Thanks again for the great videos!
Sir that little "banty" (Bantum) rooster "gets" more than the big one I'm betting. I wouldn't have one. They drive the hens crazy and peck all their head feathers off. I'm pretty sure the word "pecker" derived from the vulgar actions of the banty rooster. I dig this channel so much.
Let's pretend for some reason Moe would have to sell the house quickly, and you were a potential buyer, Would you buy it with exposed outer walls that is full of bees? we both know the answer to that if we are both being honest, it's good for the bees but not for protecting his investment lol
Very nice and inspiring that Moe kept the bees. Can he start a hive where he doesn’t ruin his house to harvest the honey? Good on you too to help him, JP!!
Today is May 24th and I seen my first honney bee of the year in Anchorage, This was another one of your great videos,. you need a man lift with a stool on it to make it modr comfy for you
Blessings JP been waiting on your next video.thanks alot goes to you I did my first bee removal last week.i was quite successful in removing it completely.rememberjng your words and instructions through wat I learnt on your videos. Small caribbean man turn Beeman
@@JPthebeeman I'm never gonna be doing any bee removals, but this made me think I should thank you for what I've learned about beekeeping from your videos. The main thing is: move slower, move gentler. I think there's Louisiana speed and there's N'Yawker speed. And Louisiana speed is better for bees. :)
Hey Brother... My mother and I are huge fans, we watch every video you release... Ma wanted to know how long you have been a Beekeeper and when did your Removal Business start? Or did you start the business and just build as a Keeper from the hives you relocate?
I agree with that for the most part, however, my home is my home, and if I'm going to share it with bee's, lol they could have part of the yard in beehive boxes, it's one thing to have them on the property and another to hear them buzzing around in the walls lmaooo Maybe that's just me.
What a cool home owner. Hope that hive stays for many years. Would it be easier to put them in a box hive so that he can have easier access to the hive?
I thought JP was going to install one of those honey dispensers to the inside of the kitchen, like those old houses in colonial times. Is it even possible these days?
JP! you rule!! I will never tire of thanking you for how much your videos have helped meto star my journey in beekeeping! Good health and love! Best regards from Mexicali, México.
Man! I love ya'll down there in Louisiana! Ya'll crazy but in a good way! People up North keep bees and love bees but those that don't are terrified of them. They think every colony could be "Killer bees" so they too scared to ever imagine keeping them in the house or in a set up. Granted some are allergic but still. I'm allergic and I still keep bees. Up here it's not as big of a deal to suit up if necessary. Even still I'll occasionally reach heat stroke 🥵 level. I couldn't imagine how hot ya'll get if you do have to suit up. I guess if you never messed with bees you'd not understand that. So P.S.A suits are more deadly then going J.P. style Fo'Real! Imagine if this did catch on though. Everybody in Louisiana got bees in their house. J.P. and everyone would have to settle for Swarms. Hee-Hee! 😆 Great video! Another unique removal/put back. God bless and hope you having a good day,cause you know I am! 😉
2 out of 5 of my family is allergic to bees. I havent been tested. But I want to get into the hobby. How do you do it with your allergy? Epi pen yourself like crazy?
@@sirsymbro No I haven't had to. I mostly wear a suit but as I get to know my bees I don't always. Wear it initially and keep smoke at the ready. As they get used to being messed with after awhile they really don't notice you. I always wear gloves and will not come out of my suit until I feel their calm & focused on other things. If you get into the hive & each time they constantly swarm around you & land on you it's not recommended to come out of your suit. I always smoke and move slowly. Just be careful and cross all your t's and dot your i's please but even if u suit up it's still enjoyable 😉!
@@sirsymbro I was discovered to be allergic to honey bees in 2014, my first year of beekeeping. You would need to get an allergist and be tested. Then they do something called Bee Venom ImmunoTherapy. It starts with very dilute doses of honey bee venom in weekly shots. First the doses increase. Then the shots get further and further apart. Right now, I'm still getting a full strength shot every six weeks in the winter, on the reasoning that I'm getting stung naturally more than once every six weeks in the rest of the year. But my allergist and I are close to deciding I can stop the shots completely. I have an epi-pen. It's probably a good idea for all beekeepers to have one for emergencies, but I've never used it. I take loratidine (generic Claritin) every time I plan to mess with my bees, and also when I go for the bee shot. PS: this entire plan depends on have good health insurance!!!
Awesome video JP! If more home owners took this approach not only would they have honey but our bees would have more comfortable homes. Looking forward to part 3. Love those Bee vitamins. 🐝🍯✨✅✨
One of our local beekeepers just died earlier year. Unfortunately he was killed by the bees. I don't know the details. I just know it was the bees on his property. Stay Safe!
End of April, near me, a man was killed by bees in Breckenridge, Texas and his wife injured. Look it up. Killer bees. The killer bees are better honey gatherers and fight parasites better. When cross bred with our European bees, the bees are a little more feisty. Eaglegards...
Thanks Moe, saving the Bee's (pollinators) JP figure out a way to attach a couple of hive bodies to the side of the house so Moe can go out an harvest honey like how he goes an gets eggs from his chicken house😎😎😎
If the entrance was at the bottom that would be totally doable. I would hate to seal the top & force them to change their entrance at this point but will give it some thought. 👍🐝
I mainly put it in my mint-teas. Was gonna write, I only put it in my mint-teas. But I can't. I also use it in a stir fry (wok) soja-saus+honey at the end of the stir fry process. Also too much honey in my teas makes my tea bad. So use moderately. Unless it's your birthday. :)
It has never crossed my mind that I can get such good vibes from bees, thanks for sharing these amazing moments. You're the man & you will always Bee the Man.
""""JP you need to start up a patreon to help with your Channel""" TO ALL THE VEIWERS/SUBSCRIBERS WHO WOULD HELP SUPPORT JP WITH A COUPLE OR SO DOLLARS EACH MONTH ON PATREON TO KEEP THIS CHANNEL GOING? I WILL BE THE 1ST TO GIVE TO KEEP IT GOING!! I LOVE THIS! BEES DO MAKE A DIFFERENCE IN THIS WORLD!
Would love to see an update. The plexiglass idea would be amazing for the neighborhood and for education. Moe should reach out on social media to see if any contractors and plexiglass companies would be willing to donate the labor in exchange for the positive press. Once finished, he could allow schools to bring students to see it in return for a donation to keep everything updated. That kind of media attention would spark the neighborhood and would pay dividends in helping the neighborhood.
now thats awesome! he kept the bees for the honey LOL. This video threw through a loop when he said 2016 at the start lol. man-o-man... time sure does fly
My thinking is, if he wants to keep the bees, he needs to provide them with a horizontal Layens hive, for them to move into. That way he could repair his home, & give the bees a good alternative home at the same time. I love what you do! I put the word out in my community, in central Minnesota, that if someone sees a swarm, to contact me first, & not to kill them! Who knows what I may run into, but it will be interesting! I have a swarm trap out, & waiting.
I have super docile honeybees in my limestone chimney - built in 1891. It’s not been used in many years. Although it does have a wood burning stove attached to it, it is not operational. I wanted to get it operational though. Until we had an inspection that stirred up the bees. How can I harvest like you guys do without having to wreck my antique chimney? I want to keep the bees, but I want to be able to use my chimney too. Trap out cone video my best option?
Mo should build himself a swarm trap and place it somewhere nearby in the yard, you never know. A lil lemongrass oil, some old comb on frames and some propolis added, might give em incentive to move into that. Mo could have him some new livestock and an easier way to acquire some honey.
