Catching a swarm of bees the easy way.

    YES!!! Swarms season is here, and I'm ready for some action. In fact, I'm so ready for action that I will even travel a long distance just on the chance they will still be there when I show up. Fortunately, on this removal they did stick around....for 3 days. Granted, that is a long time for a swarm of bees to stay on a spot, but I guess they really wanted to become Abbee Honey bees.
    The removal itself took less than 5 minutes, but setting up and tearing down my bee vac took almost 15 minutes, and the drive to New Orleans and back took over 2 hours. So, was 2 hours and 20 minutes of work worth getting some free bees? For me, most assuredly. Plus, I was able to meet another person who truly cares about bees and their welfare. All in all, a great day, and now these bees happily call the abbey home.

    I love seeing a home owner who cares about the bees even though they are unwanted in or around their homes. Bees are one of my favorite bugs. I love them and it is nice to see other people that care enough to get ahold of someone who will take them and care for them.

    You made me decide to start trapping Last year, you answered my question about wax moths infesting my frames in my trap hives, too early in the year you said, well I got two last year, and got two in one day, yesterday and today they was another swarm in a tree wanting to get in a trap hive but they were a day late, tried to get another box ready but they left. All this within 200 yards of my cabin . Got two more boxes set up couple miles down the road. I'm kicking their buts ,rounding them up like a cattle drive. I feel blessed and kinda special lol. Thanks.

    To the home owner, since this is an annual thing, perhaps get a hive ~2 weeks before you expect a swarm to come by, set it up next to that column, entrance facing out and have them move right into a hive.
    Then call Jeff to simply come pick them up, maybe even do a hive swap, an empty hive for a populated hive. Rinse repeat as needed.
    You could even leave the hive there, the bees probably wont bother you if you are not bothering them, but get professional advice if you did do that.

    The 'bee vac'. cool. Would like to be doing beekeeping enough one day to have a bee vac in my toolbox. I started on the bee trail this winter. Just doing wood working right now for frames and boxes. I live in BC, Canada, spring is still on the verge of breaking. If anyone can give feedback, I have a question... The first warm days in my area came early and as a surprise there were a few bees exploring my area right away. Stirred from their slumber I guess. Specifically some fuzzier ones with pollen on their legs at first, then bare sleeker ones who seemed to be scouts later. They seemed very curious but docile, flying around my porch, landing on me, nothing went unexplored. A few just perished on the ground. But there was no food available, still very cold at night and now weeks later we are still waiting for the first blossoms of spring. But the bees are gone. Not a trace. Now I'm starting to wonder. Were those early bees hungry? Is it possible they were warmed up too early and had no food stores to support their increased activity? Haven't seen a single one for days and days.

    • @JeffHorchoff

      @@JeffHorchoff Appreciate it Mr Ed! I actually watched that video and thats the video I'm trying to copy the build to make my bee traps. I think I can build it. I guess my down to the point question was whats the dimensions of one of those 10 frame bee boxes (I.E. width and length.) Cause I started out doing oddly enough 8 frame boxes instead of 5 or 10. I'm wanting to upgrade to the 10 frames with all my future projects. So if you by chance happen to know both the width and length of a 10 frame box then I should be able to make one to fit exactly their dimensions, because I'm a wood crafter also so I'm pretty handy with a tape measure 😂. Your channel was the first one I found that got me into bee keeping to help out my father with his all organic/no chem plant base/grass-fed ranch. I'm planning to hopefully come check out your abbey sometime if that's ok. Your passion to keep your whole operation organic and showing it could benefit everything was what got me going into it. Its great to have guys like you around.
