Although never as much fun, you should have called me to come get that. I love birdhouse bees. It's second only to having a bee tree in my front yard. But still a great video. Thanks for the love JP. Talk soon.
I tried calling you Yappy but your wife said you turn your phone off when at the all you can eat ramen noodle buffet. Smh, these could have been your bees but nooooo, ramen noodles always come before anything in your world. 😜
You're the best of all the Bee people. Barnyard Bees is informative as well. Nobody does it like JP though. That line, Air Bee and Bee is what epitomizes this great channel.
You were alone with your thoughts in lockdown. Then one day you said why the hell not watch some guy remove a bee colony without wearing a bee suit. Just like THAT a bee fan is born.
I've watched every video twice, now I can imitate JPs voice....I walk around the house annoying my wife and daughter doing JP impressions. It's the best.
I could watch these for hours. Knowing there's people like you out there, making effort to help save the bees... you are a hero of nature, my friend. Well done, and thanks for the awesome education!
JP - I caught my first swarm ever yesterday. Without all you guys on youtube sharing your knowledge I'd be like all the other people walking down the sidewalk and just walk around it or crossed the street to the other side to avoid the bees. Well, yesterday I walked amongst them with no fear with the knowledge I have gained from all you youtube posters. All I had was a 5-gallon bucket a painters pole and a cardboard box. I ended up going home with freebees get it freebie lol.... Keep up the good work
Great catch! Great video! Great channel! Eating that "royal jelly" you'll be a laying drone. :-)) Tree cutout to birdhouse cutout, you make the nasty ones look easy. Thanks for sharing.
I am so glad you are continuing to record and post videos! I have learned a lot from you, and your voice and the sounds of the bees really help me deal with my migraines and anxiety! Thank you!
J.P. you are my hero. I love watching your videos. Thanks again for sharing your knowledge of honey bees. That bite of honey comb looked delicious. Hope to see you again real soon.
I’m new, and have been watching your older videos. You’re so different than what I was expecting, in a good way! You’re very kind and informative. I hope I don’t ruin your reputation with the boys 😂❤️ GREAT WORK!!!
Thecway you kept pulling comb out of that thing, I felt like this bird house was one of those small clown cars where the clowns just keep coming out. I'm thinking, how much comb could possibly be in there??lol
It’s funny you say that because I was thinking the same thing. While editing the footage I was even amazed at what I pulled out of that birdhouse that day! 🤘🐝
ahh my morning coffee with JP THE bee man nothing like it; loving those bees so calm and gentle free bees, free honey, free video how can you go wrong; all the best JP
I used to hate Bees. But the more I watch your Videos I grow amazed and captured by them. Same for Ants, I hated them... But then I started to watch Videos. We hate things and show fear because we dont know anything about them except "They Bite/Sting and theres a lot of them!" Learning how they function and how they communicate, what makes them upset and what they like, definitely gives you new views on the world Edit: Im surprised no "Birds and the Bees" Joke was made lol Loved the video and ima go check out the other two bee keepers
@@amytih47 If I see wasps on my property I leave them because they do a great job of eating garden pests like cabbage worms. Wasps won`t bother you unless you start crap with them.
You are always so careful- Even with a single bee. I have watched every video you have ever made and have never seen any other... it is your way. It has to be gratifying to see the subscriptions growing. I am glad for the good and growing success.
Your a pleasure to watch work, staying calm and in tune with the bees while getting the job done. This is Collin Baggett we met at the Zemurray Gardens last week. Hey If I have ever have some time off maybe I can hang out and help you shoot a video? Stay healthy wealthy and wise my friend. Keep up the good work and I look forward to crossing paths again.
Great videos !!! I love your voice, New Orleans was my home town for 40 years. Had to move away, but I will always remember the good people there, and food ! lol. Your accent makes me smile. Keep making videos please, God Bless
Those bees sure make it hard to demolish a birdhouse gently!!! Randy, Yappy, Mr Ed, and you are too blame for my very first swarm capture yesterday and the ensuing work i have to get done in short order to begin my journey into a new hobby. My friend has volunteered and has been helping me get started and be a personal coach. Its been a good week. Thanks
So many bees in one old Purple Martin house. I am amazed how many bees and cone where in there. It was a great video. Till your next video. Have a good One JP.
I loved this video JP. Thank you yet again for saving more bees and for the educational parts of the video. I learned a lot from this one. If you can teach us more in your upcoming videos that would be awesome. God bless
I got into watching bee videos to learn about Africanized bees and how to recognize them from the nicer bees so I started watching everybody's channel but out of all of them I like your channel the best I find it more informative and A LOT more fun to watch. The others are LET'S WORK THESE BEES. You're just let me show you the inner workings of a hive and how the bees git her done.
Wow JP thats a lot of bees in that birdhouse I'm surprised they stood there all that time with all those holes in that. I guess that blows away the theory that bees need the brood nest dark to produce more brood and not leave the cavity if there is too much light going into their nest. You have inspired me to become a beekeeper myself after watching your videos the past 1-2 years. Thank you - JP IN DE ---- Oh and yoor forgot Mr Randys best friend Mr. Ed :) & I'm sure there are more !
This wasn’t one of those shout out list moments, lol. Yappy & Dirt have very generously shared RUclips knowledge with me & I felt this shout out was warranted & overdue. Besides, Dirt is still mad at Horchoff for stealing the colony out of that log in Randy’s latest video. 🤣 Didn’t want to add insult to injury ya know. ☺️ All kidding aside, Horchoff is good people.
@@JPthebeeman Gotcha JP - You are all an inspiration to us Noobies and thank you for sharing all your knowledge. I know there are others as well so thank you for everyone that posts on RUclips..... Best place for knowledge and help as well.
Not a fan of anything that makes a buzzing sound. because of trauma as a toddler, but love bees as long as there's not too many in one place and honey and bees wax candles. Thanks for the video loved how the bees were treated, your explanation/ knowledge about bees and how calm you are doing this. Can't believe I'm watching and enjoying it even as I shiver at the sound that's alot of bees though.
Nice job, I got a hive from the caverty in the outside wall of a house , first time doing that job , the bees stayed in the box but I to couldn’t find the queen and no queen cells , so that’s gotta be a good thing I’m assuming, the house I got them from is being knocked down and it’s winter here so a bit of a rescue job , I just put the comb in the box as is now I gotta put them into frames, the weather is crap cold and wet so awkward situation for them and me. Learning from you doing swarmes etc thanks for the video. 👍
1. Thank you for this clip. 2. as you saw eggs with first day age, that is mean there is a queen. 3. the best method for transferring the swarm is to put an empty box on the buird box's place then start transfer and arrange the frames , you'll prevent the worker bees to be confused and keep the foster bees under control, then put the frames in the upper box, wait until after sunset and get your new hive.
I had the option to skip the ads but I let them play through in hopes it gets you more $$$. This is the most relaxing, new, original, content. Do you get stung often? I feel like you move methodically enough not to make them feel threatened.
I don't know how I got here but this amazes me. Never saw anyone do that, If I see one bee I freak out. Video teaches so much I never knew. One thing though, you said bees were starting to fan but didn't say what that meant. I'll google it but these vids are great.
Was that a Bee Box or a Bird Hive? Thanks for another pleasurable upload JP! Bye the way, you need to send the DirtRooster a pair of Schawee's eagle eye glasses... his last upload the bees absconded on him;)
I love your channel! I've watched several others but you give a lot of information and have great uora about you. Please continue with the videos. God bless. Ps also can't wait until I get to FL, I plan on getting bees then on my property, your an inspiration for the hobby and life style. 😁😁😁
JP the realtor, mover, life coach, private contractor, mechanic, professional taste tester .......for Bees only no humans need apply or contact hahahaha
I found your channel years ago...before I knew of 628 dirt rooster. Dont really care for yappys. In my opinion yours was my favorite from the beginning and I dont think you really need their help. You are the OG of bees my friend.
Have to give the devil their due, both have been a big help on the technological side of things. Each of us have our own styles though, think that’s apparent.
@@JPthebeeman Yep, but in my world you were the one and only channel I went to that taught me so much and I think your coattails have to be the longest if you know what I mean.
FYI don't you think you should have used a vac? It was a nice hive Young hive and I would say awesomely 2 Queens at least the honey hive set an alarm not to leave thank you for sharing your experiences with us awesome camera work very good see you at the next hive AKA honey hole
So that’s what the queen cell looks like? Thank you! So does she grow in it or sleep in it? What’s the bees use of royal jelly? Edit: sorry for all the questions. I’m just fascinated by the bees and the job you do 👍🏼
Amy TiH honey bees develop via complete metamorphosis: egg, larva, pupa, young adult. 21 days for workers to emerge, 24 for drones, 16 days for queens.
@@JPthebeeman So when you come back at night to pick up the bees, do you block the entrance and strap the box for transport? And when relocating to a new area of say your backyard, do you open the entrance in the morning or doesn't matter what time of the day? Even if you're relocating them into a new brood box. Cheers
lexnite22 if transporting at dark I don’t seal the entrance, there’s really no need to. Smoke them until most all are in the box or on the box. I just place them in the back of the truck & try not to drive like a mad man. 😉 I usually have stuff in the bed of the truck to keep the hive box from sliding around everywhere but if the bed is empty you’ll want to do whatever is needed to keep the box/boxes in place. Start by placing them as close to the cab as possible if the bed is empty. You could use a 2 x 4, straps, anything really to keep them from sliding, with a little thought you can figure it out. If after arriving at the new location if bees are scurrying in the bed of the truck or are on the outside of your box & acting “runny”, give them some smoke until they run in, then move them onto your stand or whatever. If transporting bees during the daytime you will have to seal them before first light. You can use any kind of screen or hardware cloth that’s holes are smaller than 1/8”. I use #8 hardware for moving just a few colonies. If moving several like at least 5 or more I use this black mesh I get from Home Depot, comes in rolls. Have to be careful with the mesh as it punctures easily but it’s quick & cheap. I secure it with hot glue after I’ve smoked the bees inside the box. Hot glue is a little bit of a pain removing but the mesh & hot glue combo works very well. If you have any more questions about this feel free to ask. Hope this helps.
JP great video, that is a lot of bees , did you say one time that a pound of bees is 3000.00 bees it look like at least 2 pounds of them, it looks like you need a bigger Nuc. thanks . take care
Wow so many 🐝 in such a relatively small space . Must of really been crowded in that bird house before the swarm happened. You upgraded the bee’s from starter home to luxury 5 star condo so much more space to spread out and move around . These 🐝 totally fascinate me . Thank you for the videos and keep them coming . Oh I think I’m already subscribed to Rooster and I subscribed to Yappy after you asked us all to head over and give his channel a look . Do you have Blue Birds there ? as it looked like that bird house had blue feathers in it ? Did you or the home owner replace the bird house ?

Great video as always. Put that birdhouse back up and get more bees in a week or two. 😁
Glad to see another JP The BeeMan video on my feed!
Hey JP, I love watching your vids :) Can you do a vid a quick vid of how you go about transporting bees in your vehicle please.
lexnite22 ask me any question you may have on that subject, happy to help. I just don’t know that would be enough for a video though.
@@JPthebeeman So when you come back at night to pick up the bees, do you block the entrance and strap the box for transport?
And when relocating to a new area of say your backyard, do you open the entrance in the morning or doesn't matter what time of the day? Even if you're relocating them into a new brood box. Cheers

I usually have stuff in the bed of the truck to keep the hive box from sliding around everywhere but if the bed is empty you’ll want to do whatever is needed to keep the box/boxes in place.
Start by placing them as close to the cab as possible if the bed is empty.

Love your channel, I also watch 628 DirtRooster, and now I'm going to take a look at Yappy's channel.
much love from chilly, dreary maine!
how do they pipe? like where in her anatomy lets her make those sounds? that's really neat and a site to see and experiance
Man you hit the honey Jackpot thanks to that bird house for storing up thank Golden nectar
They fly free at Air Bee N Bee. Great video!
I may need to utilize that! 🤘😉🐝
Well-done video. You've upped your game.
Keep it up JP. Love the videos
Another great video as usual. You make it look way too easy Jeff!! LOL. Take care!! 🐝🐝🐝☮️☯️
Wow so many 🐝 in such a relatively small space . Must of really been crowded in that bird house before the swarm happened. You upgraded the bee’s from starter home to luxury 5 star condo so much more space to spread out and move around . These 🐝 totally fascinate me . Thank you for the videos and keep them coming . Oh I think I’m already subscribed to Rooster and I subscribed to Yappy after you asked us all to head over and give his channel a look .
Do you have Blue Birds there ? as it looked like that bird house had blue feathers in it ?
Did you or the home owner replace the bird house ?
