I love how you take the time to show folks that there is nothing to fear when it comes to honey bees, and show kids about the honey and why bees are good for us
@@JPthebeeman my niece has been binge watching your channel with me today and learning not to be afraid among all the other lessons we've taken in. Thank you for your patience.
Now that was a whole new experience seeing bees burrowed under a tree. I could feel your pain when you said, " it's gotta be done today folks" and then panned the camera to the demolition derby🤣 They'd just throw some pesticides and get rid of the bees but You saved them JP!! Cheers and all the very best for getting the Queen🍻😊👍
You certainly are a patient person when it comes to bees to take all the time needed to find that queen. Nice that you could rescue this hive and give them a new home. Honey bees really have a much better temperament as far as agressiveness goes compared to wasps and hornets.
I love your videos. This reminded me of a verse I recite in Arabic "And your Lord inspired to the bees, "Take for yourself among the mountains houses, and among the trees, and in which they construct. Then eat from all the fruits, and follow the ways of your Lord laid down for you." There emerges from their bellies drink, varying in color, in which there is healing and cure for people. Indeed in that is a sign for those people who give thought." [Holy Quran - An Nahl (The Bees) 16:67-68]
I've been amazed watching the Beeman. The fact that he deals with the bees so gently and so seemingly unconcerned with the harm they could do. Damn, I almost crashed my car over a single bee flying around me while I was driving.
tuffduty this one was a very unique unforgettable experience that I thoroughly enjoyed. Watching them come out of the ground like that took things to another level! 👍🐝🐝🐝
Hey JP, Just wanted to thank you for all your great videos. Although I've always enjoyed your videos on a purely entertainment basis, the other day I realized just how educational they were as well. I've never been overly afraid of bees, but never really comfortable with them as well. Whenever I would have to walk by a flowering bush with bees I would go out of my way to avoid any contact, and if one bee would get too close I would flinch causing a reaction from the bee. Well, the other day I was walking by the flowering bushes along the walkway to my home and realized that I no longer flinch or step off the walkway to get by. I don't even worry about brushing up against branches that have bees on them. It's like I'm in harmony with the bees and don't worry about them anymore....and hence they don't seem to worry about me. I even had one land on my shoulder and I simply let it walk onto my finger and moved it to a branch, like I would a ladybug. Again, many thanks for my small, but significant paradigm shift when it comes to bees...and I'm sure the bees in my front yard thank you too. Keep up the good work.
Jerome Humery thank you for sharing your new outlook on bees with us. It tickles me to know that in some small way the videos had a positive impact. Have a great day my friend 🐝🐝🐝
We went from AC/DC to the Bluegrass Cardinals in one second. You must be a musician LOL The vegan beekeeper spoke well of you and considers you a mentor. I don't have any bees yet but I hope to one day. Your patience is commendable.
Nice save Jed! Used to work around there many moons ago out of Intracoastal City, Venice and Fourchon. Best meal i ever had was from an old woman that lived in the country cooking on a wood burning stove (she had no electricity in her entire life). That Krawfish Etouffe' is the best!
I recently stayed at a hotel that had a bees coming out of a green utility box covering. They weren't bothering me any when I would go out there to smoke, but I did let the staff know about them. I think they killed the ones they saw coming out of the covering and I wish they hadn't as they weren't attacking and weren't really swarming, I just happened to see a few and tracked where they were coming from. They never lifted the cover, so I am pretty sure the ones hiding under there were still safe as I saw them still out around the opening the very next day and for the remaining of my stay until I left.
I’ll never forget sitting on my great grandma’s back steps eating a hot biscuit just out of the oven with a chunk of honeycomb in the middle. She used to take it out of the hive on her property and store it in mason jars, comb and all.
Wow, that was some crazy stuff! Underground hives, I would imagine are a nightmare to try to collect. My wife is just amazed at how gentle you are with them. Great video and always look forward to your next!
The colony was actually located in the stump of the tree. I unknowingly ran them into the cavity underground with smoke & repellent. The outcome was successful so its all good :-)
Mann JP nothing but love and tons of respect for you and the throu job you do for the honey bees, keeping them safe, rehoming and securing a hive. But mostly how safely you protect the queen and getting the workers how you do it is way beyond my capabilities, but I sure love the methods you go through to get the job done and of course being able to observe through the camera work God bless you brother keep safe.
Stumbled across this and 628DirtRoosters channel. love em both. entertaining AND educational...cant go wrong. Ive directed many friends towards you two fellas!
Just started watching your channel and love it! Two jokes: JP wears his camo so the bees can’t see him. And... When JP finds the queen he says “Yaaaaaas Queen!”
I like the way that you are always willing to give an education to spectators during your removals. This would be so cool to witness in person. God Bless You Sir 🙏
Morel mushroom hunting last year I came up on a hollow giant tree in the woods that had so many bees flying around it youb could hear the buzz a easy football field away. It was unreal seeing a bee hive that gigantic.
+628DirtRooster That's funny....but I'd like to know why I'm not getting notifications up on my notification spot...I wish they'd start popping up. .you've also got a GREAT channel
Bad bad Leroy Brown Thanks man. If you go on one of my videos and click on the little gear looking thing next to where it says "subscribed" it gives you the option to check a box to "send me all notifications for this channel".
Finally know what the queen looks like. Bless you 🤗. I am loving your videos. I love how determined you are And the variety of places you go and abandoned trees you seek out. Holes in the ground or not off-limits. I'm a new subscriber now.
Thank you for doing what you do. Not only because our college mascot is a bee, but because I believe bees are so important. You’re teaching me to not be so scared of them, that they’re kind of like us, we chill if you chill.
Keith Sage This colony was not actually dwelling in the ground cavity, their queen ran from me during the removal process. She found an underground pocket to hide in, others followed & that's why I had to get the shovel out. As the saying goes "she ran but she couldn't hide." 😉
JP I have been watching ur videos for awhile now, and of course I'm a huge fan!! Don't like bees but watching ur videos I can better appreciate them lol anyway by far this is one of my favorite videos u have made! that was crazy how they came out of the ground like that. til next time, 'bee' safe!
I used to slash power line right of ways years ago. We had a couple Haida natives on the crew. Once in awhile we'd come across bee and wasp nests and when you agitate them with a chainsaw, they'd ATTACK!!! Especially the bald faced wasps. Anyways, all the witeys on the crew would run like hell but this one Haida would go in and slash all around the area including the trees with the wasps/bees and they wouldn't touch him. We'd be standing 60-80 feet away getting pelted and he'd be in the middle of the agitated swarm and laughing at us. You're the first witey I've seen do this since. Hats off to you my friend.
Well wasps and honey bees act completely different. Wasps are VERY aggressive where as honey bees will get angered by a chainsaw but the smoke calms them down (In a way) as it sets them into protective mode and bunch up in the hive instead of trying to attack, that and stinging is the last stage resort for honey bees because unlike a wasp they die after they sting.
It's got to do with smell I think. Mosquitoes will rarely bite me unless there are no other options nearby. Soon I am last man outside they go after me.! Bees will go after me, but usually only if I already have sting pheromones on me from an initial sting. But I definitely not bee proof! Stings are supposed to be good for you so they say!
The gentleness and extra effort and time you put into your work to save a hive is commendable. It seems in some sense that the bees know you're not there to harm them
Very interesting those bees sure utilized that dead tree and it’s systems well . So happy you found the queen and where able to move the bees to an area where they did not have to worry about their home being knocked down God bless .
That’s a first for me too. Never seen honey bees go into the ground like yellow jackets that way. I guess God save the queen was their mentality on that.
Just found your channel. Thought you was never gonna find her for a min. then boom there she was! The whole time I was thinking this is what the Old Timers looked like back when we was first settling this Nation! I used to read about Frontier men that would traverse into Indian Territory to find Beehives to get the Honey. For personal use and I'm sure it brought a decent price back then. Good work and alot of patience! Subbed!
So sad to see land cleared out like that. I'm guessing a developer bought the land? So glad you got the call before they just cut the tree down and killed off the hive. Though maybe they called because they were afraid of the bees and how they'd react to them cutting their hive down.
The ones that live in the ground i had at.my house once. They lined up like an airport flying to the entrance. They seemed calm i was 2ft away just in awe. So fuzzy and plump they were, musta been good eats close by.
you are not bothered by the bees it is as if they know you are going to help them, and give them a life that they will be happy cus you are a lovely person Debbie from the UK
You've dealt with wild colonies in some very weird locations, but this is one of the weirdest. Considering that you opened that tree with a chain saw, the bees seem to be quite gentle. (No Emil, Schawee, or Yappy to help today.)
Kevin Byrne I think the bees being disturb constantly with the train and plane vibrations they grown accustomed to all vibrations bcse normally they would’ve attacked by now.
