A colony of honeybees moved into the bathroom of this camper trailer and I was called to remove them. You can watch the entire removal process here and ask questions in the comments.
I never understood the comment "not all heros wear capes" until I found your channel. Your love and care and attention brings tears to my eyes. You, lady, are MY hero. Thank you for saving the bees. ❤
Thank you so much! I think that being in a beehive is actually very meditative. You have to stay calm and focused and I'm so glad that comes through in these videos and that you're able to get a sense of that by watching. I appreciate you following along!
@@TexasBeeworks And I'm sitting here with my heart beating out of my chest afraid I won't get to sleep tonight :) Loved the video, but this triggers all my phobias lol.
im very convinced she is a great queen bee in disguise, she always says the bees weren't trying to sting her even though she gets calls saying they were stinging the owners of the sheds/houses/campers/yards
Ericka is AMAZING! I have so many questions--how does she fight the fear response so well?? I work at a desk on my outdoor porch, and I get a few bees that come by to 'map' me, and it's SO HARD not to bat them away even telling myself that they don't want to hurt me. I watched in awe as Ericka was working with bees buzzing all around her in a really confined space and she didn't once lose her cool and start swatting at them or screaming--how the heck does she DO that?? I just hear the buzz and I stiffen, even though if a bee gets into my house I immediately go into 'rescue mode' and get them outside again, so I don't move to kill them, but MAN, the fear response is brutal to deal with!
I think this women is fantastic. She learned a business she could handle alone. She's polite, clean, aware, patient, great!!! I couldnt do it!!😮 I'd woos out the first sting or hot day. I think this women is a perfect ambassador for bee care. We need her!!!❤❤❤❤
Hi. Gary from NM here. We enjoy your vlogs so much and I dropping a comment tonight because you were an inspiration to us today. We saved a swarm of bees today and we were empowered by you and your videos. We found the queen. She was the last bee in the last clump to be examined. I remember the excitement the moment I spotted her. I didn't think I would be able to spot a queen in the masses of bees. I listened to you when you said to let the bees tell you where the queen is. It worked! And this video told me how long to keep her in the queen cage....you said a couple of days. Awesome, I can't believe I (with help from a friend) saved a swarm of bees. Keep up the good work and thanks for sharing.
Love the comedic timing when the comb falls off it's own weight. Side note, I'm happy I found your channel, specially after i saw SO MANY fake accounts that didn't show the full process. Love LOVE your work.
I used to be a semi truck driver and for some reason bees were attracted to my truck, especially my cab (i used lavender oil for migraines, i think that's why). I always felt bad when I couldn't usher them out before I had to move on. I feel better knowing other hives possibly took them in.
I am always amazed watching you handling the bees with your bare hands. I guess you are the human queen bee and you tell the bees get on my hand for an easy trip to your new hive! Elegance at its best! Way to go!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
I watch a lot bee keepers and you are my favorite, I call you the bee whisperer. You are definitely different than everyone else and the bees 🐝 know it 💕🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝
I admire your gentle handling and respectful attitude towards the bees 🐝. I saw a few videos from another bee ”rescuer”/farmer, where he and his crew took a lot of the honey combe they found in the wild for themselves instead of letting the bees have it. In one video he decided to exterminate an entire colony because the bees were ”aggressive”. Before he did that, he accidentally killed the Queen by dropping her to the ground and *stomped on her* while he was attempting to show her to the camera.
@@cameronmiyao2673 yeah! I was so enraged by that! He has no buisness being in the bee buisness, if you ask me! He has no respect for the bees, nor any understanding of their behaviour. I watched most of the video and took gleeful joy in every stung he got. But in the end I was just sad, when he succeeded in his aim to kill the entire colony.
You are very good at what you do both in protection of the Bee's and explaining the process with a calm voice. I've worked around Bee's many times and they just know that I mean them no harm. Thank you for proving me right. They are wonderful and good at their job as well.
You are mesmerizing! I really believe in what you do and you do it with such grace and kindness. Please consider making a two hour documentary of your work and experiences. I know it will be a huge success! I become so calm and relaxed watching your videos. Thank you for caring so much for these important little creatures.
I think maybe im the first person to notice this, but if you listen closely and pay attention, the person that narrates this has a voice that seems really relaxed.
Another Great rescue Erika! I just love watching you work bees, I try to remember how smooth you are with them when I’m working my bees. I have much practicing to do :). I’d love to see more videos from you as it’s so relaxing and happy to watch you with the bees! This was a great surprise for today! Thank you!
Thank you! If you’re just starting to do bee removals, I always suggest starting with water meter boxes. They’re easy to access and people tend to notice soon after the bees move in which always makes the removal process easier. Best wishes to you and your bees!
What is the best course of action if the bee’s for some reason become aggressive and/or begin stinging you? What’s the best way to handle something like that so you don’t upset them even more?

Your demeanor and voice are both very gentle. I am extremely allergic to bee stings but still have a healthy respect and fascination for bees. Your videos are very educational and fun to watch.
I find this fascinating Thank you as someone who is allergic to Bees/Wasps due mostly to the pollen they collect but still understands their importance I appreciate people like you who work to remove and relocate them
Wow...you made that look really easy. That camper made a texas sized swarm trap. I hope to catch my first swarms this year. Thanks for sharing. Great job!

You are certainly the Bee Whisperer. I love your soft, soothing voice and learn more each time I watch. I wonder if they know you love them and are so willing to be re-homed if they sense that they'll be cared for and safe and maybe that's why you are stung so seldom.
Love your stories! I know you love your work! I'm happy to know that the state of Texas has You! You glorify all that you do! Your stories are so wonderful they make me cry! I hope someone is smart enough to get you a t.v show! This will help educate the public about how important you are! You are a Stewart of our beautiful Earth! T.Y Ohio😊
This is down right intriguing! Bee's make me nervous being that I am allergic to bee stings!! But she is scooping them up with her hands and on top of that, she doesn't even have her hair wrapped up lol! SHE HAS NERVES OF STEEL!!
years ago a bee keeper kept 50 boxes on my property. wish I’d known more about bees at that time. the only time I ever got stung was using a 2 cycle weed wacker near the hives. they must not like that frequency. really nice work by this lady.
We prayed for our bees and now I see God send you the Angel of Bees to help them and your videos make me cry. Tears of joy! Tears of love because the bees are good 👍 and Good things are from God ! Please let us know about your videos and we will subscribe and watch!
Gawd can you imagine walking into a tiny camper bathroom and seeing thousands of bees?? Looks like a horror movie! And she’s in there just like hum-de-dum
I love how gentle and caring you are with all the bees. PROOF HERE: watch her cut the hives up with her bare hands. You non believer bee keepers are just jealous she's able to do what you can't.
Amazing removal. I'm wanting to learn about beekeeping and I'm thinking about putting a hive on my 2.5 acres in Bexar county. I have so much to learn. Thanks for the videos, they are very helpful and also fun to watch.
Your voice is so soothing and these videos are very relaxing. I could fall asleep to "the gentle bees followed the bridge into their new hive" and "another great day of saving the bees"

Thank you for finally answering the question that i always wonder -what happen to the stragglers bees that was left behind everytime there is removal or relocating nest happen. Thank you for always be gentle with them. I hope someday we got to see a video when u deal with agressive colony. I really wanna see how you handle it.
I asked a question yesterday on a video. I found you yesterday. And today I got my answer in this video! I'm newly addicted to this Bee keeping. I always always plant for them. And I've saved honey bees and bumble bees that collapse in my yard. This is Fascinating
