MASSIVE HONEY BEE SWARM (((IN ACTION)))... Can I catch them? 

The love you have for bees comes through on video.

I was just putting the finishing touches to my newly created Skep and Bee Bole ,yesterday.I was working in my backyard.To my delights a honey bee,entered The Skep,to check out the property.This made my day !!! I hope he/she comes back with friends, soon !!!

Wow! You are amazing! Bees work so hard, it's good to see them getting taken care of so beautifully ☺️🌻

I have never personally seen anyone gently handled swarming bees like you do professionally in my entire life other than watched videos which glues to my seat intrigue and little scared don’t like bee stings I’m super impressed with the calmness and nonchalant compassionate for the queen bee and the swarm relocated into a new warm home may they happily provide incredible honey indefinitely outstanding viewing

Thank you for this. Thank you for helping our planet remain healthy.

the way they jetted walked into the box, makes me think shes in there from the nice branch shake you did, smiles. grats.

I just caught my first swarm today - it WAS magical watching them all march up the temporary cardboard ramp into their new home - and they were so calm! Best Mother's Day EVER!

We love marching. This is a great video.

That was so amazing. We are a 1/4 inch tall compared to mother nature. Pure awesomeness. Thanks for sharing and educating me and others. Be safe

When i was a kid a neighbor had a MASSIVE swarm land in his patio on a small tree. After a short while, a couple weeks maybe, thy called a bee guy who came. They couldnt believe it! 80 lbs of honey and in 3 days they were rebuilding and the combs were almost 5 ft long engulfing several branches. The whole block was complaining about so many bees. That was an awesome jolt with the tree branch! Bravo!

That is absolutely awesome!!! 🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝

Very sweet voice.Presentation is also wonderful and scenery ecstatic

Beautiful What a wonderful creation

❤️❤️❤️ “don’t forget to keep your hands dirty, and learn something old” perfecto!!! 💎🐐👑

I watch your videos because you irradiate love for miles.

“Girls, I gave you a good home. Go ahead, enjoy it. Start decorating.” Oh I laughed!! You are brilliant at beekeeping. You are a wonderful storyteller. Thank you for sharing really creative, interesting, kind and informative content. You and Jess Sowards are my RU-vid faves by far and I am so very grateful !! 🙏🏼😁

I am very impressed with how easy you made catching this swarm look, just the trick of bouncing the tree branch and catching most of the bees and how they then just marched into their new home, well done. Thanks for sharing.

I Love Love Love watching th Bee March! Thanks for the video .

Love how passionate you are about bees. they are so special and important to the planet. Just found your channel.. had to subscribe.

I agree the swarm is a magical thing to witness. I recently had one land on one of my Santa Rosa Plum trees in my home orchard. I was not able to capture it though but the experience spurred me to get my own hive and try to capture another swarm or buy a swarm of bees for my orchard. I felt so sad when they left like almost losing a long lost friend. Awesome video!

Amazing! The bees go marching two by two. Hurrah, Hurrah! Such fun to watch. Love & Hugs from Vicki in Ft. Worth, Texas 🇨🇱🇺🇸👍❤️🐝🤠🙏

Awesome video!! So glad that one did not get away. That's called a "prime swarm", which consists of the original queen of the hive and a good part of the worker bees. It's very important to determine the origin of that swarm because lesser swarms will soon begin leave that hive. Immediate intervention is required to assure the viability of the hive.

Now I know what I need to do. All my hives are in backyard. Find an audio clip of thunder, play it through sub-woofer set into rear window or on the patio. Boom. Usually I just grab the hose and sprinkle them; thinking it’s raining, they usually return to the hive.

I love this, this is so cool to watch sweetheart. THANK YOU.

Gorgeous swarm and a gorgeous lady knowing what she's doing.

You talk to your bees like I do, "Settle down Girls...." my typical line......lol

Wow, beauty, brains and bees! Really enjoyed watching this and how you saw the wonder of the swarm. Thank you.

Thanks for sharing the experience and for the tricks. Was awesome to see them march into their new home, that iss a lot of bee's. Great job Kaylee.

A good catch! Will love to see it thrive in your care! Way to go girl!

I'd often heard of beating a pot when bees swarm, but never given a reason, thanks for giving an answer x

Roots and Refuge also had a swarm today. Watching them marching into the box was an incredible sight to behold after that magnificent pull down of the branch.

Good job , now that’s what u call turning a negative Into a positive .. hammer and metal , thunderstorm,and using the old frame , a wealth of information in one video . Txs for sharing .

Hello Hayley, cool capture of that swarm, thank you for sharing your cool video, yes I put a couple of swarm boxes up not far from where I live wish me luck . Happy Easter and stay safe .

Excellent for you and for me as well .. thanks for your education as I get ready for my 1st year as a beekeeper !! .. looking forward to all you have to offer for homesteading as well !! Thanks so much and hope you and family are doing well in these times we have to endure .. keep your hands dirty girl !!

AMAZING watching the “March”. Totally awesome!!!!!

My better half and I were on the edge of our seats lol. That was so beautiful 😍🐝❤️ I pray we get a swarm soon. We check daily and nothing yet.

That was awesome Kaylee. I would be very nervous around all those girls. God Bless you on this Good Friday Honey Girl.

That was awesome!! It was truly amazing to see them 'marching' into the box!! Luv this channel!!

Ok, you’re an absolute pleasure to watch and that’s it, you’ve won me over, I’m a subscriber now. Good information, and I’m learning a lot.

One of the most relaxing bee keeping videos I have watched. Thank you!

Thank for the video. I love how gentle you are whith the bees. ❤❤💐🌹🌹🌹

"Off by a hair" I love it 😍 Awesome work! You rock!

Awesome video! I love the line, "learn something old."

Thanks a ton for this! We're starting two hives on our homestead this summer and love what we see from your channel! Great work

One of the more informative beekeeping videos! I'm a new to the BeeKeeping game, and I'm always searching for safe ways to do this. I'm also allergic to bee stings, so I have be super safe. And I have a stock-pile of epi-pins. LOL I totally get it that I will get stung from time to time, however as long as I minimize the stings, I'm sort of okay.

I'm always impressed by the amount of love and care beekeepers give to each and every bee. My dream is to have a farm one day, and I'd love to be a keeper, too.

You are so strong. Just one strock caused bees at the ground. I really repeated that section several times. Great work. Thanks for nice video.

Wow that is a huge swarm, must have come out of a very big hive. Well done for catching them not easy when it's such a big swarm. They will will do very well, congratulations.

This video popped onto my feed (probably as a result of my watching a bunch of hobby beekeepers) and you did not disappoint! Nice swarm catch; you got them before they could roam off too far. Those girls marched off to work once they figured out where their new home was!

I always appreciate understanding WHY things are done. Thanks for that. Great video.

GREAT video! We are new to bees with this our third year. We had a swarm this year and I had no idea how but had seen a few videos on capturing a swarm.. we had an extra box but by the time we got ready to suit up we watched in amazement as they all took flight and left. It was sad and exciting all at the same time. Thank you for sharing!

I’ve had multiple swarms this year, but have caught all but one. It is an amazing sight to see! I hope the Dogwood hive is humming along. 😊🐝

Amazing!! I could have watched an hour of this!

Just as I was thinking you should call this swarm the Dogwood hive, you said you were going to. Sweet swarm. Now I know why they like to swarm to the rafters of new house builds, because of the sound of hammering. Great information, thank you, Kaylee! 💖🐝

Love the time you take to be so careful not to injure bees!!! Had to laugh at the "start decorating, something" comment. cool video

Standing in an active swarm is an amazing experience, all that life, all that activity, and you are in it and apart from it. You are inconsequential to it. A thrilling experience of primal nature with absolutely no risk to you.

Wow, a huge swarm. Nice work with the sheet!

I happened upon your channel by accident....but this was fascinating, I’ve never seen a swarm caught & rehomed let alone such a massive one as this. Thank you so much.

Bees are just so beautifully breathtaking! These little girls are soo amazing!

Agree with Sag regards Honey 🍯 Bees so Beautiful and I really love ❤️ Honey!!! A Nice 👍🏻 Presentation by an Awesome Intelligent Beautiful Lady!!! Thank you 😊

you are so brave, mrs honey bee well done to you england

Much more elegant attempt than what I did several weeks ago.... but, then again this was much closer to the earth... thanks for sharing

Your passion for bees is so beautiful and inspiring! I hope to be able to begin my own beekeeping journey soon.

WOW over here from Roots and Refuge and was blown away by your skills and lack of fear. Breathtaking! I subbed and rang the bell little lady.

Love this video! I remember a swarm "visiting" a tree in my front yard several years back. They were nice and calm surrounding the queen. I didn't notice them on their stop over until I started the mower and made a couple of passes. They didn't appreciate the push mower and started buzzing around me about the third pass. At first, I thought it was a cloud of smoke and I was really confused... then I ran! Ha!

That was pretty cool. Tom Seeley's book Honeybee Democracy is an excellent scientific read about honeybee swarming. It was on my winter reading list. It would have been interesting to see where they originally decided to go! Nice job on the capture!

It helps a lot if you can lift the box closer to where the bees are, and even balance it close by. Then they are not as disturbed when you shock them., besides there will still be a scent on the branch, and those flying around will go back to where the knew the colony to be. ( I sometimes mask that scent by using spray deodorant in tricky situations.) Another important thing, try to get a lid on the box asap, because they will prefer an enclosed space, mainly to conserve the colony temperature. I always find it easier to catch swarms with a cardboard carton, because its light, and comes to the right temperature more quickly than wood. In fact, by interleaving the lids you often get a small opening about 1 1/2 inches by 1/4 inch, that they cant resist going into, once you have the bulk dropped inside. By the way, if you keep track of barometric pressure, (as they do) you'll find they prefer to swarm if there will be at least three days to locate a new location. Conversely, they anticipate bad weather.

My grandson Logan and I watched your video together. He is five. I have 4 new packages of bees coming the 23rd. He is going to help with the bees. Thanks for sharing. Your friend Bryan

That was ABSOLUTELY STUNNING. My dad raised bee hives when I was a kid and I helped with the honey gathering, but I had never seen a swarm like that. Just AMAZING

Swarming is amazing, put a box next to a swarm with a dab of honey in it and they will walk right in.

Excellent example and demonstration of capturing a swarm. That was a big swarm! Nice work! I never heard of the thunder trick, thanks for sharing! Many other excellent tips in this video regarding swarm capture! Thanks!

Sorry kaylee. I couldn’t make out what you use to mimic thunder. I’d love to learn this technique as a swarm catcher wasp/ant removal. Your gentle methods helped me remove a bald face hornet nest from a very dangerous position. The gentleness I have learned from your videos allowed me not to get swarmed and was very pleasant removal. I am grateful for you

That was a huge swarm! and you got them nicely , very impressive. I end it up in your channel after seen some videos from Daddykirbs Farm.( I love the horizontal hive bees and I think is the way to go for me) I'm just a small bee keeper,have only 8 hives,since 2016,there is a lot for me to learn,but I love bees & the honey too. I like to watch all of your videos many thanks!

So Cool! This is my second season, My Hives Overwintered and i split to 6 now! I caught my first swarm the other day!

I Love bees! When I was a young child, i used to sit between clovers in my yard, and just watch the hundreds of bees all over me. I sat very still, and some did land on me, but I stayed calm. And tried not to breath real hard. It was so Awesome. We live in City right now. But will be moving and maybe I will have my own bees in my back yard. Thank you for uploading this Awesome video. Looking forward to much more!!

That was amazing! Thank you for sharing! I caught my first swarm a little over a week ago, but the weather has been so icky I havent been able to check in on them. Things seem ok from the outside.

So awesome. Such a good sized swarm. Thanks for sharing this. .

Over the past year I've been around bees in southern Utah. Originally from the East coast and always stayed clear of them. But here, they're not aggressive, just interested in what I'm doing when I'm working outside, I leave the van doors open and they'll go inside to check things out for a while and leave. I see maybe 100 a day come around me. If I feel one getting a bit to crazy, I'll slowly move my hand so it feels the air push it. I'll do my woodworking and they'll land on a tool in my hands so I'll wait. They really are fascinating if you take the time. And we get winds here in the canyons. Gusty winds. I can always tell when a gust is coming, they will anchor themselves on grass stalks.

I learn something new this morning, thanks for the video and entertainment.

Hello there nice to meet you . Iwas sent over by Roots and Refuge I see you hit your 10000 Congratulations!

Good thing you were around to catch them. Great job

Well done; good job. I was pretty sure the Queen was in the box when I saw them marching in. If she wasn't in my experience they usually head straight back up onto the branch you shook them from where there still remains the scent of her pheromone

Boy, you really pissed them off when you broke that branch. Lol. That was a good swarm.

I love beekeeping 😍 nice swarm 🐝🐝

The best video you've put out, very detailed, thank you so much!

Awesome huge swarm catch!

It still looked like finding Waldo lol awesome video. Love your channel

Nice. Dogwood hive is the perfect name👍👍👍

What a awesome video ! That you... and I have been looking for a bee suit and didn’t know which one to get, I love the one that you have.

Not a farm boy, me, but this is most interesting and 'tis a joy to have such a lovely explainer of it!

Great video thanks for sharing! My neighbours honeybees swarmed into my garden last week, just before a thunderstorm ⛈ 🌩️

Loved this video!!! And loved “learn something old” 💕💕 Thank you!

Fun video! Great idea using the sheet as backup!

Nice work, preformed like a pro! Thanks for this great video! God Bless You!

That's a BIG swarm, nice video. Now the challenge of moving that beast of a hive to a new location. ;-)

Good catch honey girl! I hate it when my bees swarm unless I can catch and rehome them. I saw 3 in the air last week and got all of them. I’m sure 2 of them came from one of my hives but one came from another location. I gave one to a young man that lost his this winter and kept the other two, moved them to my other bee yard and they are doing great. If your swarm knew how kind and sweet you are they would definitely stay where you put them! Thanks for the video!

that is truly amazing to see. thanks for sharing!

This is so great! I'm not a beekeeper, but provide space for hives on my property. I recorded a difficult swarm collection a couple weeks ago for my channel. I have learned so much!

I am highly allergic to both bees 🐝 and wasps and cannot take a chance of raising bees but, I love seeing them in my garden and will watch them buzz around everything. I have even had them land on me and I just stay calm and slowly get it closer to a plant for it to fly onto and I then slowly walk away. I love 💕 them so much but have to be extremely careful around them and I just love 💕 how you talked them, it warmed my heart ♥️❣️🤗❣️

i just watch your videos to watch you 😂. you have the most lovely presentation. thank you!
