That bee guy was waiting his whole life for that moment. The moment he got to do his job as a pest control worker, while a crowd of thousands cheered him on and put him on nationals television for his feats.
@@transitfan954No, No she didn’t. If you knew ANYTHIMG about bees you’d understand that this is the time of year that hives grow over populated when this happens fractions of the hive will break off and swarm, while they are without a home they will “swarm” (bundle up in a large mass to protect the newly emerging queen). When these bees swarm they are EXTREMLY docile and just need to be picked up and moved.
@@transitfan954 That is a sign of a strong queen (mother according to Ab'e Warr'e). Honeybees that have successfully overwintered can swarm the following spring /early summer, due to overpopulation of their hive. That is why beekeepers will "artificially" swarm (split) a hive that has successfully overwintered to avoid a natural swarm, as seen here. The old queen that overwintered will vacate the hive with over half the population (Swarm) and cluster like that, while scout bees look for a compatible home (hive). When they are swarming like that, they are not a threat due to the fact they do not have any honey or brood (offspring) to guard. Also queens do not make any decisions for the hive, she cant even feed herself. The workers (daughters) are the one that will make queen cells where a new queen will emerge to take over said colony, while the old queen swarms. The only responsibility the queen has is to lay eggs. She does not give orders. That is why Abe Warre doesnt call them queen bees, but instead just mother bee. So no, that queen did her job marvelously, and her daughters are the ones that decided to swarm.
i was at that dodgers game with the bees, it was insane and honestly, it was a bit annoying cause the wait was so long, but it was worth it for a good game, even if we lost
I am loving these video you do dude. But may I suggest adding the year to the clips being used? With all the rule changes as of late, it would be helpful with what rules are in play for that time like 2015 banning the rushing of the catcher and obviously 2023 when the pitch clock was introduced
Finding the queen would've taken to long and risked agitating the swarm. He sprayed them with the bee equivalent of sleeping gas and then sucked them into a vacuum so they could be safely relocated. (this isn't a joke, that's literally what he did. there's a post game interview where he talks about it)
7:03 This is the kinda mistake you normally only see in little league intermediate. Also saw the Nationals play with Vargas live at the game. Typical A’s baseball.
