When I was about 5 I was attacked by a swarm of yellowjackets as my father had just driven his riding lawnmower over their inground nest.

I feel like every bee doesn’t sting you because they know you’re the goddess of bees. They’re taught it in bee school to respect you and not sting you.
She gets stung. A lot. For sure. Even with smoke and careful handling, it happens to beekeepers who only work on 1 hive, let alone higher frequency handling like this gal.
Yes, she has shown a close-up of a stinger in her knuckle and explained how the bee is attached to the stinger and pulls its own guts out trying to fly away after stinging. But it can't and just keeps pulling on the "line" attached to its body on one end and the stinger on the other end. Pretty horrible death for the bee...
My daycare children were interested in Bees and they enjoyed watching your video. Your calmness helped them to remember to be calm around bees. They learned about the Queen being the mother of them all and how they take care of her. Their important job of pollinating, why and how they make honey combs, etc. Thank you very much for demonstrating calmness for them and being a friend to bees
I don't think there is a more noble goal on this planet than helping the bees! This is probably the reason why this lady looks so at peace, the way she talks/walks/acts just naturally puts every living thing around her at ease....
Erica, I just started keeping bees yesterday! I'm so excited! My friends were all asking how I was so calm around the bees instead of freaking out over being stung. You were a huge inspiration!! Wish me luck! Update: Today I went down to the hives. I had an old box lying around with old used frames that I got from a bee-keeping friend and I saw that there were a lot of bees coming in and out of the old box. So I lifted the lid and the top cover and to my surprise there was a hive in there! And so active too! It looks like a new swarm just moved in, queen and all! I'm so happy!
I hope you reconsider if you live in north America at all, honey bees are highly invasive and are actually terrible for our ecosystem, as they're crunching out our native species.
@@peppermeat8059 their job is to do that in the places that they are native to. Honey bees were brought over from Europe to north America in the 17th or 18th century because the people moving around the globe saw benefit to bringing the bees. In reality theyre devastating for the native pollinators that actually belong in north America, they're really good at spreading diseases and they're effective at boxing out other pollinators from resources like habitat and food. Yes they pollinate, yes their job is important, but not over here. We already have a whole range of biodiversity that's evolved along side our plants and other native creatures forever. Honeybees are only important to a small hand full of things that are not native to America that we cultivate, America's agriculture is responsible for hundreds of crops, but only about 60 of those specific kinds of food need to have honey bees. In reality there is a bee that is native to north America that's even more efficient at pollinating our native crops and other plants. It's called the blue orchard bee, but no one wants to beekeep them because they can't profit off of honey or literally every other aspect of the bee. Saving the honey bees is propaganda spread by beekeepers because there's so much money to get out of it. The bees wax, the honey, pollinating rentals, selling their stings for holistic medical stuff and more, it's all profitable. What's more American than profit?
Why do I get so invested in this? Sitting here biting my nails, talking at the screen like an idiot. "That's like a gallon of honey!", "Oh girl, you gotta find this queen.", "Lift with your legs!", "You need some reversed clamps to pry that open", "You need a dolly so you don't have to lift that monster hive.". "Oh god, please don't drop it.", Then relaxing at the end like I did something. "Whew. okay. It's fine. Everything is fine." Wife looking at me like I'm crazy. "Hon, it's gotta be another great day of saving the beeeezzzz. It's just gotta."
You need a Q and A!! Where do you put their new homes after? What happens with any stragglers that happen to be out collecting pollen when you leave? Your videos are so interesting to watch! Great work!!
Erika, you have inspired me! I discovered a small colony of bees had taken up residence in the cover box for my sprinkler valve. After quite a bit of research, I decided to purchase a new hive and attempt to move the into the new hive myself. I wasn’t nearly as bold to go at it without a veil or gloves, but in just jeans and a long sleeved cotton shirt I was able to successfully find the queen and move her to the new hive in a little over an hour. In just a couple of hours after that the remaining bees joined the queen. They seem to be doing quite well and I’m hoping to keep them happy for a while. Thank you for these videos of your process of saving the bees!
Erika, YOU ARE AMAZING!! Thank you so much for your calm and compassionate approach!! You are educating so many people just on how to conduct yourself around any animal, with a lot of respect and kindness 💟....I am so impressed by you with your fearless approach....Wonderful for the bees that you are truly their ambassador to the world, and they need it, as you are aware of the pesticides being sprayed on crops, and the danger they are constantly in...I am a garden designer and have been in business for 27 years. Whenever anyone works for me, they are instructed to be gentle and compassionate with all insects in and around the garden, and of course, I do everything organically. So I really get where you are coming from, and we just need so much help to show humans that we are not the only intelligent and caring (not always for sure) life on this planet, and that every life on this planet is valuable and worthy of comfort and kindness while they are here...Much Love to you 💟☯🕉☮
You have one of the kindest voices I've ever heard! It's like this is the ASMR channel of all bee channels. Please continue with your lovely work and narration!
I've mentioned before.....I am a retired nurse and a mom who's anaphylactic son is ALWAYS in the woods, nature and has no fear of bee's....he's not foolish, has his epi pen with him.....he absolutely loves your videos....thank you for putting it into perspective that it's not like the 1940's cartoons where an army of Bees come at you stingers first.....they need us as much as we need them.....thank you so much for your work, KNOWLEDGE ❤keep up the great work, LUVIN IT FROM NH
You were born to do this with the Bees, everytime I get near bees they sting the hell out of me. You never seem to get stung young lady and that is impressive.
OMG that is soooo many bees. Your commitment in taking care of these precious little ones is amazing. Thank you for all you do for the bees. 🐝✨✅✨You’re Awesome!
She might want to start committing less to protecting them, considering honey bees are invasive to North America and are actually devastating our natural pollinators.
I just watched your short vid about saving the bees that were in mourning. Bees are critical to our planet's, and our, survival. What you did, with great tenderness, was wonderful.
I want her autograph LMAO!! She's amazing and Bees are another proof among millions of what a miracle life on this planet is. God Bless her for all her work :)
Dear lady, you are an amazing woman and caregiver for these colonies of bees. When you relocate a hive like this what happens to the stragglers that are left behind. Do they join another colony or are they doomed to expire without relocating their original colony? Wishing you a blessed week filled with gentle seasonally appropriate weather and restful evenings. Peace
Wow!! That’s my first time ever seeing you in full bee gear. I think one video I saw you wear a veil but I’ve never seen you in anything close to full suit. That’s awesome to see your process though. When you do and when you don’t use it. It makes a lot of sense.
Dear me not only you are an amazing person - but you have one of the best ASMR voices I've heard. Honestly it gives me instant spine shivers without the whole standard ASMR setup.
This is perhaps the most impressive bee rescue I've seen on this channel! From the massive amount of comb and bees, the unique home that they chose, and the numerous pounds of honey that was retrieved. A job well done! Bravo! 👑👸🐝🐝🐝🍯🍯🍯
I love watching these videos with the Bee Whisperer!! Such a clam, warm voice steady and gentle I suspect because she doesn't act like any predator it allows her to move with them freely
Erika, you are amazing. I kept bees here in the UK many many years ago, and I always loved collecting swarms and running them into a new hive. Amazing little critters.
I just found your channel thanks to Reddit tonight. The way you say the word "bees" is divine and I deeply appreciate the love and care you have for these wonderful little creatures. Thanks for all your work!
I recently found this channel and I’m straight up obsessed with it ❤ 🐝 Everything about this woman is amazing. So confident yet calming. I’ve learned so much and I’ve gotten into the habit of watching a new video every night before bed. It’s so relaxing and a wonderful way to unwind. Thank you Erika for all you do for the bees and all the amazing content! Saying hello from the mitten state!
My grandfather kept bees in Iowa back in the late 40s/early 50s. He actually had a bee sting allergy but only ever wore a hat with a face net and never got stung. Use smoke, then work slowly and deliberately, he explained. It is awesome to see you work just like he explained. I've never been afraid of bees as a consequence and your vids are great fun to watch. Our neighbor in Los Angeles was an old Russian beekeeper. He had hives behind his garage and harvested their honey made from garden flowers in the neighborhood. HIs best honey came from the chaparral blooms. He would haul the hives out into the desert and return months later. That honey had a distinct wild plant bouquet and was nice and dark, not like the typical clover honey. Great stuff. Congratulations to you for your good work.
Love how gently and carefully you treated these bees and their hive!! Your work is so incredibly important. Would love to see an update on how the bees settle into their new home and how you care for them!
I recently stumbled upon this channel, and I just want to say I love the content. Your voice, work and the buzzing of the bees are like a great ASMR to me. Keep up the excellent work!
I'm so glad it's finally spring, because I hope it means we'll see more of these wonderful videos. I never get tired of seeing you work. You are so respectful of these extraordinary creatures, so skillful, so patient.
Considering honey bees are invasive and actually devastating to North America's natural pollinators, she shouldn't be getting praised, she should start focusing her efforts and her following on this channel to promote healthy species in the ecosystems of Texas and North America, not perpetuate its decline
@@PD-we8vf it had to be moved or someone would have just called the exterminator. A lot of people dont appreciate the importance of bees and just classify them as stinging bugs.
I appreciate your gentle touch and caring for the bees. You are very calm and soft when talking. Thank you for showing us the process of saving the bees. I really appreciate everything you do.
beautiful! I love watching you work. i love how easily you can tell that you genuinely care about the bees and work so hard to make sure they are safe. thank you for your important work!
I love the calm and measured way that you work and all the information you give. I have not been a bee fan but you are definitely converting me. I am finding them fascinating now .Thank you for educating me .
Is this channel still active? I hope it is but there hasn’t been a new video or short in quite some time. I hope all is well with our favorite beekeeper.
Honey bees are devastatingly terrible for the North American ecosystems, please put research in and strive to help out native pollinators rather than allow an invasive species to perpetuate in the environment
Your work is so inspiring. I find myself getting somewhat emotional with the incredible respect and care that you show these bees. Your channel is addictive and you do wonderful work. You are truly a blessing.
I think they know you are a friend and not going to hurt them so they don’t get aggressive with you. I love watching you, seeing how much you care for them. You have helped me over my bee phobia and to become a bee advocate. Thank you ❤
The thought of bees chewing through the rubber bands and dragging them out of the hive is so cute to me. Like "Hmm, this doesn't belong here, let's just take this outside"
I saw a bee today, I stopped to notice that a bumble bee is different than a honeybee. Thanks for the new awareness of bees! Then I saw the ridiculous controversary and wanted even more to thank you for your great videos. Of course, you scope out a situation in advance and plan accordingly, obviously, great stuff!!!!
Erika, Do you take any precautions not to wear any perfume, or cologne? Bees being so attuned to scents/pheromones it's possible to think that those products might interfere. Admittedly, it's very unusual to see a beekeeper working without protective gear. How long after you started beekeeping did you realize that you could go without the gear?
I definitely avoid wearing strong scents and you're certainly right to think that such things may interfere with beework! I even prefer to wear the same clothes two days in a row if I'm working the same colony like I did here. And I would say that going without gear was just a gradual and perhaps natural progression for me. I spend a lot of time in each hive and I'm in Texas where it's VERY hot, so to me, it would be crazy if I didn't try to figure out a way to do this work without wearing a giant space suit. Thank you for watching and for your questions!
We love your channel and would love to see the next phases of bee care. Moving from your truck and forward! We ❤your passion and are grateful for your efforts to save the world 🌎!

She really has a calming voice :)
Erika, you are amazing. I kept bees here in the UK many many years ago, and I always loved collecting swarms and running them into a new hive. Amazing little critters.
I just found your channel thanks to Reddit tonight. The way you say the word "bees" is divine and I deeply appreciate the love and care you have for these wonderful little creatures. Thanks for all your work!
I'm very impressed. That was a huge hive. Great job. Your best, and biggest save that I've seen you make so far.
I don't watch your videos regularly, but it makes me smile every time. Keep on keeping on!
I honestly just love hearing you say "the beezzzz" especially "the baby beezzzz" 🥺🤍
I love the bees and I really enjoy your narration. You have a calm voice and demeanor.
I recently found this channel and I’m straight up obsessed with it ❤ 🐝
Everything about this woman is amazing. So confident yet calming. I’ve learned so much and I’ve gotten into the habit of watching a new video every night before bed. It’s so relaxing and a wonderful way to unwind.
Thank you Erika for all you do for the bees and all the amazing content! Saying hello from the mitten state!
The bees must be so relieved when they see you pull up. You're simply amazing. How you're able to remain so calm is astounding.
My grandfather kept bees in Iowa back in the late 40s/early 50s. He actually had a bee sting allergy but only ever wore a hat with a face net and never got stung. Use smoke, then work slowly and deliberately, he explained. It is awesome to see you work just like he explained. I've never been afraid of bees as a consequence and your vids are great fun to watch.
Our neighbor in Los Angeles was an old Russian beekeeper. He had hives behind his garage and harvested their honey made from garden flowers in the neighborhood. HIs best honey came from the chaparral blooms. He would haul the hives out into the desert and return months later. That honey had a distinct wild plant bouquet and was nice and dark, not like the typical clover honey. Great stuff.
Congratulations to you for your good work.
Love how gently and carefully you treated these bees and their hive!! Your work is so incredibly important. Would love to see an update on how the bees settle into their new home and how you care for them!
I recently stumbled upon this channel, and I just want to say I love the content. Your voice, work and the buzzing of the bees are like a great ASMR to me. Keep up the excellent work!
I'm so glad it's finally spring, because I hope it means we'll see more of these wonderful videos. I never get tired of seeing you work. You are so respectful of these extraordinary creatures, so skillful, so patient.
That's amazing. Thank you for saving the bees. ❤
Thank you Queen Bee Erica 🐝 for all 🐝that you rescue🐝and save🐝
Considering honey bees are invasive and actually devastating to North America's natural pollinators, she shouldn't be getting praised, she should start focusing her efforts and her following on this channel to promote healthy species in the ecosystems of Texas and North America, not perpetuate its decline
Wowww!! You are amazing! Thank you for your gentle, caring work on saving the bees!
What a lovely way to start my morning! Thank you Erika! Another great day of saving the bees!
I was stung twice when I was little and I was terrified of bees. But watching you save them has helped me learn that bees are good guys!
Many.people.get.stung.by.yellow.jackets,.hornets,.or.paper.wasps,.but.when.talking.about.it.it.is.a."BEE.STING"...Guess.who.gets.the.blame...
@@edmartin875 why.are.you.typing.like.this.it.makes.it.much.harder.to.properly.read.what.you're.saying.it.doesn't.make.what.you're.saying.more.impactful.just.strains.the.eyes.
It makes me so happy to see these bees being saved! Thank you 🙏
That colony was doing just fine on their own. She didn’t save ave anything. She moved them and lost a lot of them.
@@PD-we8vf we are looking forward to watching one of your beekeeping videos! 🤣
@@PD-we8vf She saved them from being killed by somebody indifferent to bees.
@@PD-we8vf My impression was the property owner was going to exterminate them because someone got stung.
@@PD-we8vf it had to be moved or someone would have just called the exterminator. A lot of people dont appreciate the importance of bees and just classify them as stinging bugs.
You are an amazing, beautiful, and brave lady!! Oh, and not to mention your soothing gorgeous voice!! Thank you for saving our bees!!
PLEASE keep these videos coming on RUclips. Your talent handling the the bees and hives is TRULY amazing and I thoroughly enjoy watching your work. 👍
I appreciate your gentle touch and caring for the bees. You are very calm and soft when talking. Thank you for showing us the process of saving the bees. I really appreciate everything you do.
I live on the other side of Earth, yet I feel the need to thank you for doing this, because Bees are important to all living beings. Thanks!
Wow, thank you so much for your thoughtful comment and for watching from halfway around the world! I sincerely appreciate your support!
@@TexasBeeworksHave you ever got stung while removing bees?
I just love your work. It makes me so happy just watching you work your magic
Thank you for saving the bees! And calming my mind at the same time! ❤
beautiful! I love watching you work. i love how easily you can tell that you genuinely care about the bees and work so hard to make sure they are safe. thank you for your important work!
I love the calm and measured way that you work and all the information you give. I have not been a bee fan but you are definitely converting me. I am finding them fascinating now .Thank you for educating me .
Another great day of saving the bees!! Thank you for the video and saving bees! This was a huge hive!!
You are sososo awesome. I love it. Thank you for caring.
This is the most relaxing channel on all of RUclips. You have the most calmest voice I've ever heard! Great job on the bees as well
I agree. What a wonderful relaxing channel.
Is this channel still active? I hope it is but there hasn’t been a new video or short in quite some time. I hope all is well with our favorite beekeeper.
You love to see it! Great job, as always.
Those girls were busy, what a colony! Love your videos, and your love for the bees. 😊
Honey bees are devastatingly terrible for the North American ecosystems, please put research in and strive to help out native pollinators rather than allow an invasive species to perpetuate in the environment
Another great day of saving the beezzzzzz.
Girl you have the voice of an angel ❤
After a stressfull workday I always get so relaxed watching you save the bees. Keep up your wonderful work! ❤
Your work is so inspiring. I find myself getting somewhat emotional with the incredible respect and care that you show these bees. Your channel is addictive and you do wonderful work. You are truly a blessing.
I think they know you are a friend and not going to hurt them so they don’t get aggressive with you. I love watching you, seeing how much you care for them. You have helped me over my bee phobia and to become a bee advocate. Thank you ❤
The thought of bees chewing through the rubber bands and dragging them out of the hive is so cute to me. Like "Hmm, this doesn't belong here, let's just take this outside"
Thank you for saving, keeping, respecting and loving bees. Bee yourself and bee awesome for ever🥳🐝
I saw a bee today, I stopped to notice that a bumble bee is different than a honeybee. Thanks for the new awareness of bees! Then I saw the ridiculous controversary and wanted even more to thank you for your great videos. Of course, you scope out a situation in advance and plan accordingly, obviously, great stuff!!!!
Erika, Do you take any precautions not to wear any perfume, or cologne? Bees being so attuned to scents/pheromones it's possible to think that those products might interfere. Admittedly, it's very unusual to see a beekeeper working without protective gear. How long after you started beekeeping did you realize that you could go without the gear?
I definitely avoid wearing strong scents and you're certainly right to think that such things may interfere with beework! I even prefer to wear the same clothes two days in a row if I'm working the same colony like I did here. And I would say that going without gear was just a gradual and perhaps natural progression for me. I spend a lot of time in each hive and I'm in Texas where it's VERY hot, so to me, it would be crazy if I didn't try to figure out a way to do this work without wearing a giant space suit. Thank you for watching and for your questions!
Thank you, Texas BeeWorks! Thank you. ☺️
Love your content and love how gentle you are with the bees.
And your voice is like a lullaby
We love your channel and would love to see the next phases of bee care. Moving from your truck and forward! We ❤your passion and are grateful for your efforts to save the world 🌎!
I really enjoy learning about the bees and watching you work. ❤
Kudos to you for taking care of the bees like this instead of spraying them with pesticides. You protect the environment and animals.
I always feel a reverence for the intelligence and work of bees. Thank you for taking all of us along with you while you saved these bees ❤❤❤
God bless you, beautiful lady. I am sharing your delightful videos with my family. You are an inspiration. xx
