    I love this video. When you took off the cover I wanted to cry. Maybe the city should just go around when reading meters and just spray honey be gone after each read? NOT poison!!! J. P. Thank you so much again. It was nice to see Randy and Tod show up. "Where hobby bee keeping.. is...a...way...of life"!
    "I'm having a good day, and I know you are". Bee-utiful queen J. P.

I've been binging on your videos because I love your attitude and what you do. Bless you for dedicating your life to saving, relocating, and maintaining these wonderful bees. Your videos help to educate others and show they are a creature to be cherished, not feared and destroyed. They, and you are unsung heroes necessary for survival of many species on this planet!

    Having survived an assassination attempt by the poisoner, those could be good genetics to have, with a better than average resistance to insecticide. Just possible that the queen surviving is due to genetics.

      I thought a colony of less than 500 workers couldn't survive long-term. Perhaps he's gonna merge them with other bees he saved. Or provide warmth so they wouldn't freeze in the winter.

  • @nukeyjarom
    @nukeyjarom 5 лет назад +3

    I’m a locksmith in Huntington Beach. My in-laws have a colony in the eves of an addition that they built on their home less than 4 years ago and the bees have been there the majority of that time. The eve is sealed and stuccoed so relocating is going to be difficult but that’s definitely what we want to do. I’ve been watching your amazing videos obsessively for the last week (I’ve fallen asleep and dreamt of bees once or twice😂). I want to at least be a part of the relocation. The bees man in my area has negative reviews online because he’s known to kill the bees if the client doesn’t want to pay the cash to take the time to relocate. Finally, my question, (sorry I’m being long-winded here) would it be stupid for an amateur, me, to try to do it myself with the proper equipment (suit, smoker, box, queen keeper, repellent, commander, etc)? Thank you for your enriching content. I’m a fan and I’m grateful for your profession. Keep on! 🙏

      I doubt that this was willfull ignorance, but it certainly was a lack of understanding and probably a panicked civil worker who didn't fully realize the impact outside of concerns of someone being stung.
      It's funny. Sometimes things aren't really any one's fault, just misunderstandings and instinctive reactions. Education on things like this definitely helps.

      @@hotaru8309 Yes I'll join you on the fact that Education is a very necessary thing in this society, especially for anything that concerns animals and wildlife, even plants.
      But sorry, I can't accept the fact that animals that were minding their own business got killed because of a " panicked civil worker " .
      If he panicked, why not simply put down the lid gently and mark out the place with tape, ribbon etc and call Mr Dirt Rooster or any other bee keeper , or just the cops to ask what to do ?
      That would have been more logical, at least to me,. You don't kill animals or destroy things you don't understand and / or are afraid of .

    We need to make a world wide law. That killing bee colonies is a felony offence.
    You should have to call a licenced bee removal person. If your being swarmed by a aggressive bees colony spraying with water or get away but you should not be allowed to use any kind of chemical spray on them.
