    Jeff, you have changed my life! I'm allergic to yellowjackets and so I've always been scared of any flying thing with a stinger. Well, a couple of unseasonably warm days just up the road from you in Little Rock, I noticed a lot of honeybees flying around looking for food (we already had out first frost). Instead of getting scared, I mixed up some sugar water for them and laid it out for them. Within 30 minutes there were dozens and it was the most fascinating thing I've done in a while. Three days of feeding before it got cold again and I think I'm hooked!

      I heard something interesting not to long ago, said scientists believe bee stings can help with reducing cancer cells. I don't know how true it is since I haven't looked much into it since I ran across that, but given all the other things bees are capable of I wouldn't doubt it in the slightest.

    I half expected to see some moth damage too. Especially with them being in that location for such a long time. So, perhaps these more aggressive bees not only chase the beetles out, but moths too. Great video guys! Looking forward to more. -Jeff and Diane

    2 stings would put me in the ER. I am so allergic to bee venom. Once stung on the foot the pain and itching was horrible. Then I was stung on the hand and I nearly passed out. My arm swelled to twice its size. When I went tot he ER they asked if I was snake bit. I said no just a bee. They gave me epinephrine and benadryl in a shot. That works faster. Thankfully we were not far from the hospital when it happened. My lungs were still working. But the doc said if I get stung again I would have an anaphylactic reaction. I hope none of you has any bad reactions to stings. But if I were stung I wouldn't be talking about it. God bless you for finding the queen. She looked so small considering all the eggs she laid. Have a blessed weekend.

    I want to say, I know people are afraid of temperamental bees, and I understand why. But if I was a beekeeper, I'd like to have a colony or two with a little bit of feistiness, because as you said, they will defend their hive.

    • @JeffHorchoff
      @JeffHorchoff  6 месяцев назад

      I am delighted to hear you understand my point. To often the quality of "gentleness" is prized in a bee hive, I for my part appreciate when bees are defensive as this genetic trait will be to their advantage.

    Holy smokes, those bees were hot!!! Your removals are usually of calmer bees, but THOSE bees were pissed! But like you said, the more aggressive hives keep the hive beetles out so that's good. Will be more challenging to look after for Tyrone, but if he mostly leaves them alone like you leave your bees alone most of the time, it shouldn't be too bad for him. Maybe he should get one of those flow hives so he can just extract a little out the back side of the hive without disturbing them or something. But I'm sure he'll figure it out. Great team work guys! Also, now you have added the multi-tool to your arsenal for hives that have old, rock hard comb. 👍
