- Well folks, if you've followed my channel long enough, you know I don't do a lot of removals, but I do try to do one or two a season. Well, here goes the annual colony removal and as always, I have Mr. Ed involved, whether he wants to or not, and of course, Good Time Charlie will be here as well. Let's take a ride to Hammond, Louisiana and get these bees out of this house.

Thanks for joining me in my bee yard here in Louisiana as I share how I maintain my beehives. My videos are not meant to be 'How To' videos, but simply me sharing my experiences in beekeeping as I learned it from my mentors, teachers, and studies.

Charlie must’ve been tired and hungry. When y’all caught the queen Charlie sounded like the old man on Pawn Stars.
Yea, Charlie is like a gas gauge and gets to running rough when he get's close to empty. LOL!!
Always a great time doing removals with you Mike...and you are a very quick learner. Loved the bee release, that was the first time I had seen it done that way. Great video and I look forward to doing the next one with you. God's peace brother.
Fun times Brother!!
I sure hope you didn't keep Charlie too long as he would be needing lunch.
It was so fast, he didn't even have time to start complaining....well, except for being my gopher...LOL!!
Nice job Mike! Thanks goodness you had Jeff to coach you and destroy your camera! Thanks!
Thanks Rodney! And yea, I know, right?!?!
Loved watching the girls going from the vac into the box.
Good deal, glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for watching!!
Really liked the interior shot of the bucket and hive transfer.
Good deal, glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for watching!!
Great job Mike!!! Really enjoyed the "vacuum cleaner cam". They should do well. Take care!!
Thanks Keith!!
Time for that "one a year" cut out. Havent done a cut out this year yet. Did get a swarm call that turned out to be an open air colony that the heat and wind caused to fall out of the tree. Calmest bees i think I have worked. Brother caught the queen almost immediately and before he could get her in the nuc box the others were marching in.
Yea, I have my check in the block, but the only issue, it yield next to no wax. So I might have to do another soon...who knows. Glad you saved the open air disaster. I had one in a tree here and the hurricane devastated it. Pieces of wax everywhere.
I really enjoy doing cutouts and plan to start taking on more as a new business I can do. I hate being “retired”. I like to work too much. 🤷🏻 yall look like yall are having too much fun!!
Well Tim, I hope to retire myself and I plan to never get tired of it...LOL!! I want to take on more too once retired and expand a little bit in the bee yard. I also want to get around and visit and video other beekeepers in our great nation. One day do the loop in your area as well.
Ingenious idea, neccity is the mother of all invention.
That was Tony, the creator of the Everything Vac's idea actually. He showed me one at a conference.
Great video. Enjoyed the “inside the box” videography.
Good deal, glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for watching!!
Between scaffolding, Jeff, Charlie, and the vac, that was too easy! Nicely done.
Glad you enjoyed it Tony and I tell you what, that board was the ticket!! Thanks for the idea and I still say you sell them. Add a nice emblem and cut them with some fancy edges.
I realize everyone has their niche, but I'm not willing to work that hard for a colony of bees. Maybe if I was hard-up for bees, but I'm not.
I do enjoy watching these videos though. Mike, thank you for sharing.
I can agree for sure Robert. I used to do several a season and then it was just too much. I only do about one a season anymore and I can promise you I am compensated these days as need be. It’s very hard work and there’s no guarantee what bee you’re getting, if they’ll even survive, or what you might be bringing into your yard. I don’t bring them home anymore. If I ever take it on as a side hustle and do a few a year, I’ll have an entirely separate bee yard setup for them and will give most away. People also don’t realize that with prices these days, you have to come up with $200+ of equipment right off the bat just to house them. Yea, I agree 100%, it’s a lot of work for a colony of bees. So much appreciate the support and glad you enjoy the videos!! Thanks for watching!!
Very nice job Mike ! The video of the bees fanning inside the bucket is top notch and gives non beekeepers a look of a tiny portion of what our girls do ( except normally in total darkness ! ) we use to rescue bees but have switched to putting up swarm boxes to supply our populations and colonies , so we call our girls Mutt bees as we’ve no clue about their genetics or pedigree , so far no hot colonies ! Thanks again
Haha... that house has bigger problems than just 🐝🐝s
Oh not really Bill. It’s set for a new roof and some trim, but the rest is restored and beautiful. The inside is incredible! The hardwood floors have just been redone and the walls inside have natural cypress siding that is something to behold. Wish we could’ve done a tour of the inside for the viewers. It’s a show piece.
like how you created a board with a hole to go over the vac. Sorry about the camera.
Wish I could say I created it, but Tony who actually made the Everything Vac had the idea and gave to to me. I thought it was ingenious for such a simple idea.
Good one Mike!
Thanks Bruce!
Great Video Mr Mike Sir as always. Thank you for saving the Girls. Have a great week
Thanks Matthew!!
That first shot inside the hive/bucket would be the perfect thumbnail. Great video with your mates as usual!
Thanks so much!! Glad you enjoyed our adventure!
Mike - nice job on the rescue. BTW - look forward to seeing you at the NCSBA convention.
Thanks John! Looking forward to the conference as well. I look forward to meeting you all.
Wow, be careful. Jeff trying to take out the competition!! Take out the cameras then take out the competition. I think he was double checking the height from the top of the scaffolding at the beginning. I’m glad you made it. Lol. Keep up the great videos.
Yep Brian, some underlying feeling and emotions there with him...LOL!! Appreciate your support my friend!
Mike thanks for the video. Sorry to hear about your camera and equipment. Great job.
Thanks for the support Russell!! The camera was due, it just was...LOL!!!
Good job Mike.
Thanks Frances!!
Great video! Loved the camera shot from inside the vac. You and Mr. Ed and Charlie are awesome with the bees!
Thanks so much!! We had a great time!
Mike, you are always thinking. Good ideas and great camera work. Thanks for video taping your one and only cut out of the year. If you are only going to do one it might as well be with Mr. Ed to spice it up.
Thanks Russell. Yea, I enjoy doing them with Jeff and Charlie. Makes it much more tolerable. And we had awesome weather, Unseasonable cool that day. 60's!! You know the deal from your days in TX...
Praising God. 👏🏾 👍🏽❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Yes indeed!!
Mike, that box on bucket shot was cool. I thought you were going to Timelapse it to show them moving up but cool nonetheless.
Glad you liked it. I hope to out it in the bottom of the bucket next tie and I'll have to timelapse it and see how that looks. Thanks Steve!!
I need to get me a vac. I have a cutout in a gas station we are working. Lots of ideas you guys give me. Enjoyed the video. You all take care. Thanks Mike. Looks like a much better this year for you all.
It's a nice unit Garry and handy in a pinch. Yes, things are looing better this season, no doubt. Thanks for the support!
You didnt even break a sweat Mike!Good one thanks for sharing.
Yea Tim, it was great weather!! Glad it was only in the soffit. Kept things simple. Take Care!!
Nice one. That hog trough valley on the back side of that chimney is a nightmare water issue.
Yea and the flashing on that brick with tin and caulk. They are getting a new roof very soon too. Thanks for watching Phillip!
Awesome video of the "inside" of the hive
Glad you enjoyed it!!
Good job Mike looks like things went fairly well for y’all
Thanks! Yep, the removal went as good as it could. I'd do them every week if they were that easy...LOL!!
Good stuff thanks for sharing 👍
Thanks Brian!!
Mike, it’s always great to see you do your cutout each year!
Thanks Don! Enjoyed the fellowship. Hope you are well and that you're keeping Brain straight up there.
2024 cut out. Cant wait for 2025. Lol
Thanks for the support Melvin!! You know me too well!!
You guys get all the fun. Thanks for sharing, Have a great week!
I gotta admit, we do have a good time Brice.....Have a great weekend too!!
Who follows up with the repair
In this case Larry, the homeowner. They do their own work.
PERFECT JOB !
Thanks and thanks for watching!!
2 hours!
Finally a real 2 hour removal. Thanks Jon!
Y’all need to come up here to East TN and help me with a removal lol. I’ve got a lady who’s a recent amputee and they don’t have funds to pay someone. I looked at it but it has to be an inside removal and I have no clue how to do it or close it it. 😭 I was so hoping it would be easy to get to them via the outside but nope 😢
As much as you want to help her, do be sure to give it some very serious thought. It's not super hard, but yet it is. It can get going out of control very quickly and there are tricks of the trade that make a huge difference, especially with interior removals. There are also plumbing and electrical to be very careful with. I wish we could be there to help out. Exterior removals get rough, but the interior removals get tricky because once they're opened up, there's no turning back. Maybe instead since you're not sure about doing one like that, you could do a fundraiser instead to pay the removal specialist. Then you shadow him or her while they do it and get some OJT. Just thinking out loud here.
@@MikeBarryBees thanks for the advice
Wow, that brood pattern and the uncapping rate looks really bad! Check'em for whatever!
I agree. Definitely not a robust colony. The caps being chewed out was alarming. They seem to be settle I for now so she’ll know more as fall arrives. Thanks for watching!!
