- First bumble bee removal might be my last. Man oh Man!!! Bumble bees are very important pollinators that's why I did this removal. Bumble bees just like the honey bee need to be protected. If you see bumble bees treat them with respect and don't kill them. Bumble bee nest can be anywhere from where these where to hay bails to bird houses.

never overturn the nest, try to scoop the whole nest and move it without tipping the honey pots.
You have a good heart my friend
Yeah... You probably should have waited to plug the hole till night time when they are all going to be in the hive.
If you will read the other comments you will see that was not an option

Shorts and crocs. Time to open a bumblebee nest!
No kidding. I hope he doesn't work on cars, bikes, power cables, sinks, mowers. Dude take it serious and get your gear on.
watched the whole video to see a reptile and then realized you were talking about his footwear.
I know. Either he's very skilled or very doofus.
Every time I have encountered a bumblers nest in W PA they are frickin out for blood.
Had one under a concrete and brick porch and it took me a week of
spraying to eradicate them. I'd never work on a wild nest without a full bee suit.
I asked them to leave and pollinate somewhere else but they apparently
voted en mass to stay and fight.
@@tewaewae lmao
@Mermy Don lmaoooo
RUclips algorithm: "Its bee time"
I used to keep Bumblebees, you can close the hive at night and move it pretty easy when they are all in bed.
I was wondering why he didn't just cover the entrance and move the entire hive somewhere else. He opens the thing and gets the hive angry. Calm bees are good bees
I'm looking at raising Bumblebees instead of Honeybees.
@@AraceaeFanatics I live in NZ and just bought a box sold as suitable for a garden (small nest) The only downside is the limited lifespan of the hive itself. I need to build some nest boxes a bit quick to ensure the new queens that hatch find a good place and stay local. Bumble bees are very low maintenance and so far I'm loving having them buzz around the garden.
I have a bumblebee nest in my compost bin is like to move them but not sure how. Any ideas?
That will probably not be an easy thing. Where you located?
Bee removal with shorts and crocs. Legend
They are like flying ping pong balls with stingers lol
😂😂😂
Mad lad
Forreal dude omg 😂😂 I’m like he’s mobbin out those crocs better be In sport mode 😆
That was so awesome that you saved them just so they didn't get killed. If we had more people like you this world would be a different place. By the way I kept bumble bees before I kept honey bees, they are completely different. Full body suit when messing with bumblebees.
Honeybees dont scare me like bumblebees do. Bumblebees are huge esp the queens.
@@arunicahom-choudhury1641 Unless they think you're threatening the nest Bumblebees are super calm and will even tell you that they feel threatened by raising one leg. So no need to worry too much.
So... the conscientious rules are:
Kill aggressive honey bees (ie, "Africanized Killer Bees..." I hear they're physically indistinguishable to the calmer honey bees(?))
But let bumblebes and the more docile honey bees do their thing?
It just seems like bumblebees are decidedly pretty aggressive and comparable to the more-aggressive Africanized honey bees...
Do bumblebees attack other colonies of honey bees? Will they sting you when you walk by and accidentally brush flowers near the sidewalk with your leg?
(oh, and no judgment or insinuation about anything, jic anyone supposes I'm saying something I'm not or thinks there is some kind of inflection on my text)
@@luceatlux7087 Good point, but no way bumble bees are nowhere near as aggressive as Africanized bees, bumble bees are very docile unless you hit their nest with a shovel or something, but even then they will probably only chase you for 20 or 30 ft, Africanized bees will chase you for a miles, all of them and gang up on you and sting you to death... That's their mechanism of action.
Bubble bees are typically less aggressive to the average person but they don’t function the same way as the honeybees he’s used to. Bumblebees are better for the environment, plus there’s less to deal with in a hive by a lot they’re less “busy bee” and calmer here people just like honey bees for the honey
Bumble bees are important. I didn't get any cucumbers last year until I started seeing bumble bees in the garden. Very gentle bee unless you mess with their nest. If you mess with their nest they will go off.
+Mike Cannonie yep
Mike Cannonie I love bumble bees. Didn’t know they had any defense. 😂 I used to catch and pet them. Patient little guys. Becoming endangered. :( thank you so much
Mike Cannonie haha my problem is flying stinging insects all seem to wanna follow me. I've been stung more than enough times because of this so I never have a good reaction around them. they get my jittery.
Every animal is important to this earth unless they are invasive species.
@Cooper we have bumblebee nest in our cop in Slovakia... Man its big like football ball, i never seen bumblebee nest had multiple layers, but that thing have it
Who tf goes to a Bee fight with shorts 😂 That guy does 💪❤
If Tony Stark was born of the South and decided to go into beekeeping
For your first attempt at rehoming Bumble Bees you have done an awesome job! I have handled Bumble Bees since I was a child. I have some vids of me holding lots of Bumble Bees. I breed quite a few different species. The only time I have been stung is when I was removing some wax moth grubs that where destroying the a nest. Next time you move a bumble bee nest try when it is just getting dark at night. They do not fly when its dark. They only like to fly when they can see light. You can use a very dim red light. It has to be red. Also make sure you have a thick scent of honey wafting around. This will disguise your scent and help keep the bees calm. You can use a hive tool to gently prize the nest up if it is stuck.. Make sure you do not cause any vibrations. Bumble Bees and Honey Bees do not like vibrations. Obviously you know about protective clothing haha yes they can sting multiple times. Queens sting is much more powerful. Its best to put the whole nest in the box you want to keep them in straight away. Place them in the box. block the entrance hole. Just check around for any Bees left around, Once all the bees are in put the lid and bobs your uncle. Let the Bees sit in the new location for about 2-3 hours before opening the entrance hole. This will give them time to adjust. When you open the entrance hole just stand about 10 ft away and you will see them come out and fly backwards. This is called a maiden flight. The Bees are now making a mental map of their new location. Hope this info helps you or any one wishing to move Bumbles
+1stBumbleBeeMaster I was hoping to get another call to remove another nest but have not so far
Ok cool, well if ever you do please let us know and will share your vids if it helps your channel. Please do not get stung next time.
+1stBumbleBeeMaster thank you. Will do
I can vouch for the fact bees hate vibrations. I was taking a lug nut off a junk car and well you know that sound that dry rusty lugs make when you just get a good turn? The bumble bees living in the muffler did not approve.
This is very helpful I have had bees before but they all died because of moths and planning to get more
I've never dealt with bumble bees before. I think I'll wear a speedo for this.
That was my thought.
Whole hog, birthday suit or go home!!
Coward!
With all do respect... He's kinder than he is smart! 😊
@@jackochainsaw The bees are naked.. why shouldn't I be?!
Seven years later, this video is still hitting right. I watched it with my son, and we laughed, howled, and cheered. Much respect, Mr. Daryl.
My class visited a bee farm when I was young. One of the students asked "Why are killer bees more aggressive than other bees?" The beekeeper's response was "They aren't. No bees are aggressive. They are defensive". That has always stuck with me.
That guy did not know what he was talking about. Some breed of bees are very aggressive
@@dfishman76 He was saying there are no bee species that will actively hunt down humans to attack them. Bees only attack humans in defense, when the hive is endangered.
respect to you man, l take my hat off to you for finishing what you started and rescuing them from certain death.
Someone with a lot of tomato plants would love a colony like that - bumblebees are the best thing to pollinate tomatoes.
Not if their nest is in the ground by the tomatoes, they would attack you for messing with their food.
True very true I keep 4 hives around my garden.
As someone who grows tomatoes and has a volunteer bumblebee nest this year (in my compost pile), yeah, I'm pretty stoked. They are very chill thus far, just stay a few feet away from the nest and it's fine.
Bumblebees are more aggressive than honeybees as they are bigger.
A wasp is a very aggressive bee.
while I still had a garden at my parents' house, a couple of years in a row, there was a bumble bee nest in the garden... any time that they got disturbed by anything, they'd go through out the whole garden killing every single wasp in any nest that they could find!
Good work!
Good I hate wasps they wake up and choose violence
Sheesh! A bunch of lil, fuzzy, winged John Wicks. LOL!!!
When my dad was a kid he and his friend found an old, abandonned car in the woods. Naturally they had a look at it and got inside, when he opened the glove compartment he got swarmed by angry bumblebees... Turns out they'd made a big nest in there and he just ripped the hive in half. He had to be rushed to the hospital and has been highly allergic to bee and wasp stings ever since.
holy crap that is horrifying, glad he was ok,, many years ago my great uncle hit an unseen log in tall grass with the tractor while mowing,,, the log had a good size bees nest in it, at least 500 plus stings all over his body,,, they went up his pant legs and under his clothes,,, in his mouth, ears,, etc.. he almost died. Not sure what kind of bees attacked him but it was bad.
Oh my gosh!!!
Same thing happened to me. I was a nosey kid & messed with any hive I could find. After being stung numerous times as a kid, I am now highly allergic & have to carry an EpiPen. Sux! I guess that's what I get
I remember as a kid i saw what i thought was a cast (like when your arm is in a cast) on the ground in my front yard. I went and picked it up. Yup....it was a bees nest that fell out of a tree. I got stung a bunch of course, never became allergic though. Later that day I took a flagstone from our walkway and that was the end of that nest.
Same shit happened to my Grandma long before I was born. She was doing some raking on the farm she grew up on and accidently disturbed a wasp nest!! She got stung all over and still had scars on her face from the experience. Flying bugs that can sting you is my main fear that story kept me from EVER helping out on farms/gardens for the rest of my life loool.
In case you get asked to collect another nest, the best time is at night - when they're all in. Use a head torch with a red-light, which doesn't disturb them much. Use gloves to lift the whole nest + bees into your box, having blocked the entrance. Put the lid on and place the box where you want them and leave overnight with the entrance closed. Open next morning.
Hmm

Its great that he took the time and suffered through the pain to help these bumble bees, but maybe waiting til after dark to deal with them would have been best for all parties involved. I've literally never had to relocate a bee or wasp/hornet hive, mainly because I rarely need to. They usually don't bother you unless you really do something harmful to them.
However, it was strange that he said he has moved honey bee hives before, but didn't seem to know to wait until after dark to mess with them. Unless you don't mind causing half the bee hive's population to be separated and lost, and the homeowner doesn't mind having dozens of frustrated bees flying around that area for the next day or two, you would be better off waiting til after dark to gather them into a new container and relocate them.
+HighlanderNorth1 if you will read the other comments the answers to all your questions will be answered.
"Use a head torch with a red-light, which doesn't disturb them much."
Learned that one the hard way... luckily I wasn't stupid enough to get on the ladder BEFORE I'd shined the flashlight at the guard bees hanging out by the entrance.
They said Indians don't attack at night either. They were wrong.
Wow. Was not aware bumble bees made a nest together. Always under the impression they were solitaries. Very cool!!! I’ll need to keep an eye out for nests as I’ve noticed lots of bumble bees in my area
If you see a nest, keep a respectful distance and don't mess with it. As you can see in this video, some bumblebee species can be very aggressive if the nest is disturbed.
I’m 73 and I’ve never seen more than 2 or three bumblebees at a time. I always wondered where they went. Amazing! Never had bumblebee honey. Maybe they don’t make honey. California born and raised. Live there all my life. Amazing to see this.
My father used to harvest honey bees and would take me with him. He had a suit, but I did not. Now I have a phobia of any kind of bee. I actually scream if they come at me. So god bless any of you guys or gals who do this kind of thing for a living
I removed a bumblebee nest from someone’s attic a couple of weeks ago and relocated it in their garden. I made sure I wore full bee suit. :-)
Lol when I was little I grabbed a little bees nest that was lying on the ground , I ended up running away just to get stung in the back 😂
Mad props to you, Buddy. I cannot take buzzing in my ears, it freaks me out and is the stuff of my nightmares, so I've got nothing but respect to people who can do this.
Aww how lovely of you to do this for the bumble bees you are a good man x
+Gerald Snowman :-)
Thanks for saving them. I think it was worth your trouble being stung that day. Keep up the good work. A bee suit might be in order though, just to save your sanity. :)
Use smoke, and use a stronger bee suit, and if you remove the hive at night you wont leave the foragers behind.
gtg458g use ANY bee suite! this was painful to watch! He just had a bee hood and regular clothes!
Wow but why move a hive, I imagine under extreme reasons, or would leave the bee's be, lol.
+Sable Phoenix it was move them or they where going to kill them
**I find it wonderful if I understand the posts correctly you took the hive to 'higher ground' away from murderous goofy destructive humans. So, thank you for sharing that. I would not know how to move a hive, but had seen someone spray a hive with fire extinguisher. :( So, take care. Thanks for caring.
@@terryfuldsgaming7995 Exactly. I started speculating before I saw him approach the nest, especially when he said he hadn't brought smoke or anything, that he also hadn't even bothered to suit up. Sure enough. And going to tackle them during the day. "Now I don't have a pilot's license and I've only flown little models before, but I'm going to take myself up in this airplane. They said they needed it moved." Seems like the many stings were all but begged and pleaded for. smh
Back in my day, nickels had pictures of bumble bees on them.
"Give me 5 bees for a quarter" you'd say
And you used to wear an onion on your belt because it was the style at the time.
I’m new to bee keeping but covering the entrance to the mold and just relocating it may have been easier. Thanks for saving the bees. You’re brave.
Thank you for not killing them, great video
I applaud you doing it Darrell, but I don't understand why you didn't just cover the entrance at night, pick up the original container and put it in a box in the car, Opening It must have been really stressful for them with loads of lost casualties and it seemed really clumsy tipping the broken nest upside down. They sure did a good job protecting it, sorry you got stung so badly, but I think they're really beautiful! Well done for saving the colony!
musicalmarion Why would there have been a lot casualties? They don't die after stinging like honey bees
I guessing like honey bees their existence is to serve the queen. When the queen in the box is taken they have no purpose to live.
musicalmarion i mean he’s tryna make a video. more difficult at night.
Pamela Schramke the casualties are the larvae which maybe died cause the temperature change
You do know that bees can an will sting the he'll out of you at don't you I don't know we're the the lie about them not stinging at night came from but it's bull
I had a bumble bee nest in my back garden under some rocks and flagstone, they were always super chill and peaceful, but then again I didn't mess with their nest. 😅 Good job rescuing them.
If you'd gone back after dark, and plugged the hole on the box, you'd get them all in one go, without a single sting.
New Message yes. They were in a sealed box. Why on Earth didn’t he just put some mesh on the open end and carry it away?
There IS 2 air holes covered w hardware cloth in that box.
So at least they had SOME air.
I am no Bee expert, so I dunno how much air they needed for that trip, but I am happy they at least had those 2 air holes.
And I give this guy props for saving the ones he did save!
Let's not forget that we are just the spectators! Whether he did it the right way, or the wrong way - HE STILL DID SOMETHING!!!
ALL those bees would've been dead if he had not stepped up.
I know he has more guts than I do!!!
So yes, he gets my respect. ♡
He did mention doing this at night was NOT an option - for whatever reason.
@@courgette3401 What would the fun in that?
I am so confused 🤷♂️. They bees are a bit aggressive, so..... you leave them out there.?? What if a person walks by or an animal domestic or otherwise. Isn’t someone or an animal going to be seriously hurt or killed by these bees??
You learned the hard way what most of already know...don't get stung 40 times by bumblebees. I do appreciate your commitment to bees and their pollination efforts, but damn...when you started off in shorts I just cringed.
and I've heard bumble bees act more like wolves than our domesticated doggo honey bees... so they're not as tolerant with our intrusion as the honey bees in farmsare
@@mira55x-planetnalzena15 they are very nice when they are by themselves and getting at the pollen but they are hornets level when you mess with their nest .
Bumble bees are beautiful. Thank you for relocating them to a safe place for them and the home owner. Next time get better protective wear. Safety first always!
Hell next time leave them alone, remember where the nest is.
"I've probably been stuck more today that I was all year from honeybees." Me: Stung one time...applies at Applebees.
What a genuine, candid, funny and educational video. Well done.
"Cause they were luvin my little white legs!" Lol I love you so much
Wow! That's impressive! I had no idea that bumble bees were aggressive like that. You clearly saved their lives.
Bumblebees don't have barbed stingers so they can sting over and over and over again without losing their stinger & dying. I LOL'd when he said 'As you can tell by the video I got my ass handed to me..' Hahaha!...comes back all armored up like a medieval knight going into battle.
Good on you for giving it a go! Gotta dig a dude that digs bees and isn't afraid of learning something new in his craft.
This blow my mind.
I thought bumblebee bees were solitary bees.
Bumbles I believe are the primary tomato pollinators
Awesome work.
"Hope you're enjoying the video, because I'm not". Haha. Great video.
smoke will work the same on these bees as honeybees, it masks the the smell of the stress pheromones released by the guard bees. You should have smoked them before you started going near them.
Good to know!
Smoking honeybees makes them eat the honey as they believe their hive is on fire. They eat the honey and become lethargic.
Smoke only adds stress to the colony - 40 yrs of keeping bees has taught me that!
Psychological warfare is typical. So, thank God for the Bees, Skunks, Sharks & adorable Ayes.

Bumblebees along with other native bees actually do more pollinating than honeybees
Wasps do a ton of pollinating too despite what the internet wants to believe
Thank you for being such a wonderful human being that is taken the time out to save the bumblebees Noah save two of each animal so I praise you for doing God's work saving them precious Bee s may the Lord bless you for all that you do sending love and prayers from sutherlin Oregon USA
I've never been stung by a bumble bee, when they are out working they are very non aggressive. But wow they defended their nest.
Weird, unlike honeybees a swarm of bumblebees actually seems to fly around like CGI bees do in movies. Cool.

Lol go ask your mom
When I was a kid bumble bees made a nest in an old grill. I went to go look in the grill and a few got pissed and stung my back...My dad killed them tho. I was sad...I used to pet bumble bees when I was a kid while they were gathering pollen and eating nectar
That was pretty cool. Maybe I'll find one one day. I know that sick feeling though.
+628DirtRooster ya was not fun.
Oh I REALLY want to see you playing with bumble bees, Randy! LOL Maybe we'll see you run!
Love your channel
Hey you found one and had a lot of fun lol
628DirtRooster no you don't want them bees bro.i been stung by every bee except for the hornet.bumble bees will attack vicious.
I watch these beekeeper videos trying to get over my fear of any kind of bee, wasp. This set my phobia off!!!
I garden, our side yard. Big garden, thank you for not killing the bumble. I love them, talknto them and always have early flowers and water. Their sting can hurt though, and they swell me right up!
thanks for saving them
Dude THANK YOU for taking the time to get these Bumble Bees into a box and transplant them to a place where they would be safe.. Not many beekeepers or live bee removers will do that specifically BECAUSE they don't have a use for them.. Just because they can't get wax, pollen or honey from them as easily as honey bees they just don't care about them but ALL bees are important pollinators. Any bee colony that can be removed live should be given the effort to do so. So again from one bee keeper to another, THANK YOU! Probably should of came back at night to get them though.. All of the foragers and guard bees would of bee in the box.. lol :)
I have Honey bees and I plan to start some Bumble bees in the spring. I recently learned that honey bees can't pollinate certain crops, like Tomatoes. If a person wants "bees" for pollination they might consider a more well rounded approach. Personally I have bees for honey, pollination, and doing some small part for the environment and food chain.
S0anonymous how do you keep bumble bees? I've had a similar thought, but I'm waiting on the purchase of our land to get even my first honeybees, so bumble bees are really out there, but I want them.
+Broderick Elliott don't think there is a lot of "keeping" when it comes to bumble bees.
Broderick Elliott From all that I have read, you really don't keep them as much as build little houses and hope the queen likes it. my plan is to build a bunch and see if I get lucky. keep googling and reading. if you find anything cool, post it, I will do the same. best of luck!
+S0anonymous the way some people start with bumble bees is the go early spring when the queen bumble bees first come back out from the winter and they catch them and put them in a box. In the box they have materials for her to start the hive along with nectar and pollen for her so she can start laying eggs.
Very interesting to watch, had these at my last house, they were with me for 25 years, we liked the same flowers and rhododendrons.
You answered the call to stop someone from destroying the nest when really this is outside your experience, got badly stung but saw the job through and made a video and posted it. All credit to you. It's made an interesting video for discussion and brought out some advice which is useful and insightful for anyone who loves bees of every kind. You're a good man - respect to you and keep up the great work.
Thank you so much for your work saving this colony. I guess the old adage is true: No good deed goes unpunished. Love from Fort Worth - thanks again.
+Karen Hefner thank you
your a good man to save those bees!
+Katie Miller thank you
As a small reminder for Fishman, Bumblebees tend to be stronger than Honeybees so if you have flower heads or flowers that are quite hard to open up for Honey bees, bumblebees can deal with them. I've heard cucumber being very hard for Honey Bees to pollinate in comparison for Bumblebees.
Katie Miller thanks
I recently learned that Bumble bees pollinate plants that Honey bees cannot, like Tomatoes for example.
Tomatoes are "self-pollinating" by a breeze or wind. Honey bees only use them to gather pollen. Bumblebees also are better pollinators of blueberries, roses, and azaleas. Honeybees usually prefer non-fragrant flowers like most 'wildflowers', sunflowers, fruit and nut trees/vines.
Thanks for being a trooper and saving those bees.
As much as I love to see bees, I see bee killer cans passed out to hvac guys all the time. I've seen a bumble bee hive completely torched in the biz
Fantastic to see them live and in action. About 2 years ago I purchased 20 honey bee hives and in one hive was a type of bee that I had never seen before. When you looked at one closely it looked like it had a big fur coat on. A friend told me that it was probably crossed with a bumble bee. Not sure if that is possible but I can tell you they were the hardest working bee's I had ever seen and thier sting was twice as mean as any other honey bee.
Loved your video!
Thank you
Bumble bees are endangered or at least on a watch list
Ethan Gill they just need to come to my house. We have a tree that has hundreds of bumbles in them all spring summer and fall. It’s crazy
Where did you get that load of bull they are plenty at least in the country side.
Sarah Stewart yes we have three locust trees. in the spring of the year, when the trees are blooming they're literally covered with bumblebees
It sounds like none of the people who replied to you understand how being endangered as a species works.
Rusty Patched Bumble Bee (Bombus affinis) not ALL Bumblebees
WOW. I VE NEVER SEEN A BUMBLE BEE NEST. THANK YOU.
Never seen an angry bumblebee before; I've only ever had a single bumblebee sting, when I stepped on one barefoot. I would've taken one look at that hive, and say, no thanks maam!
Dfishman, you've got a great accent ... makes for a good video.
Good job saving the hive! Now that you know more - maybe next time it’ll be zero trouble... use smoke next time and get them at night to get them all... You are for sure a very cool guy doing this... Need more people like you!
You know, although you don't have a purpose for them, you were very wise and considerate to save them. They have their place in the food chain too. Blessed be.
+Valerie Palmquist thanks
I've never seen a bumble bees nest like that much less seen them swarming and aggressively attacking!! Wow!
+Landaux yep lots of them.
+vijay surendran they where after everything
That hive had a lot more bumble bees then what I expected!!
Bumblebees normally: Good day sir
Bumblebess when you touch their nest: I'LL SLICE A MAN
Those bees wasted no time coming out of that box once you removed the plug on the hole!
Looked like the bees at the entrance were venting the hive. It must've been hot!
I was always told as a kid bumble bees don’t sting. When I was in my mid 20’s there was this spider I used to feed it , it lived in the lounge. I was drinking one day and caught a bumble bee and thought I would feed to the spider. That bumble bee stung the crap out of me lol.
A bumblebee with a white or yellow face can't sting but if it has a black face it'll sting.
@@ACantu-de8pg I wouldn't trust a bumble bee even if it had a green face.
Man, that, was funny!! They as you found out,! are Highly aggressive!! You can't mess with them A tall!!, Outstanding !!!
... I just caught a bumble bee cupped in my hands 2 nights ago because it was caught in my garage and would not fly out, even though I left the door open for 45 min and let every single mosquito in the neighbourhood in.
Didn't get stung. Didn't think I could get stung. Now I think that might have just been luck. Yikes.
Manners Bananers you didn’t pick it up by the wings though just gently cup lol
Last year I had a bumble bee nest under my back porch. They set up in a chipmunk hole. I left them bee and they left me be. Only time they seemed agitated was when I mowed nearby, but as longs I was quick with the mower they didn't seem too bothered
Truly honorable of you to go through all of that to save them bees you are a great man
I could hardly believe you were fixing to open up a bumble bee hive without some protection! LOL Hats off to you tho. I once pulled a bail of hay off a stack that had a bumble bee hive built between it and the bale under it. Oh dear - tore me up! I enjoyed the video and am impressed with the box you built them :)
Well bumble bees don't sting so there is no need
Thank you
Negative they sting over and over
Quinn The Fennic Fox Yes they do!
I've been stung by everything I don't never want to get stung by one of them again
The bee attacking the camera at 14:06 literally made me jump.
Great video on bumble bees. These bees are used for pollination in glasshouses as they work 24/7 and 365 days. All blessings from Ireland
Probably one of the best videos I have ever seen, thank you for your work and pain of saving this colony. Hopefully it survived and produced a generation of new queens for the next year.
+naeem abdulwali thank you
God bless you sir for doing this to save bees.
+Janet Wilham thank you
Bumble bees can be psycho! I accidentally stepped in the wrong place one day and looked down and saw a bumble bee crawling on my pants leg so I swiped it away and it came at me and chased me down and into the house. When I came back outside 20 minutes later, that bee was absolutely WAITING for me at the back door and got me again!! Stung me 7 times total and I know what you mean about the after affects... stayed in the bathroom half the night sick as a dog! Made me toss my cookies and have tummy issues for a few hours. Don't mess with bumble bees, they don't play BUT, I love how they pollinate my garden. Great video! 👩🏻🌾🐝
Bless your big big earth caring heart.
Hi, I was researching Bumblebees over the last week.
Found good info at www.bumblebee.org/faq.htm
Tips I gathered:
1.- Use a red light, at night. They do not react to red light. (ruclips.net/video/KHCQjbP2yzc/видео.html)
2.- Not worth moving a nest near the end of the year. New queens will go underground for the winter. The nest should be empty by october-november. To start a hive you need to catch a new queen (mated at the end of the season the year before) in early march-april before she decides and starts building the nest.
3.- If the thorax gets cold, under 86°F, the bee will almost not move. I held one last week on my hand untill my warmth and the sun heated her up. You can catch bees with a glass jar, put it 3-4 minutes in the fridge, then handle them or transfer more easily.
4.- They poop and put failed pupae on the side of the nest. Therefore it is advisable to build a special compartment in the box for that matter, that can be cleaned, on one side or between the brood and the exit.
Hope this helps somebody.
-.-
Some guys in Poland are raising bees for pollination. This is probably the most impressive video: ruclips.net/video/Eeyr8MzRl2I/видео.html
You were brave indeed ;) Don't give up!
Thanks for the video!
Wow. OH - there is an update! I'll watch it next. Just have to say I admire your courage and your resolve. I sure hope the bumble bees survive - far away from people!
I really really REALLY admire you for what you did in this video, especially considering the pain and sickness you endured too just for being selfless.
You are a great man.
Oh also, I really liked your narration too, and your camera awork and angles were perfectly fine as well.
So, God bless you. You're a very good soul.
God Bless you man! I’m a beekeeper and that would’ve been horrendous to get stung 30-40x!!! Thanks so much for rescuing them! You da man!
I feel you, man. I was stung on my birthday and thought I was going to die. Still, I think bumble bees are gentle and kind on principle.
Word. We got a few in Mo City. Seinna Plantation. Respect.
The final brood in late summer or fall are males and the next year's queens. The old queen and workers die. After mating, new queens hibernate over winter and start new colonies in the spring. The nest isn't used again, unless by chance. I tried to save a new nest made in debris in my shed. Put it in an unused bird house nearby. The queen stayed, but the nest was soon destroyed by small ants. Hope your attempt was more successful!
You really have to mess with bumblebees to make them that angry haha
RUclips algorithm: Hey noticed you didn't sleep well last night. Here you go!
Same
Lol
It was a good action by you to save pollinators even if they're not honey-producers. Thanks for the video, DFishman76.
I've got to get a beer to finish watching this!
"...pants that are made out of a material like they make fire hydrants out of..." He cracks me up!
That’s what there made of
The rusty patch bumblebee native to my region can only sting once, then die, due to barbs on the stinger. They are very docile, but will get aggressive to defend themselves. But make no mistake, when they defend and sting you they die. Sweet creatures and one of my favorite of the garden and nature walks.
Thank you for helping them out.
Good job, because you rescued them from certain death from the property owners..
When I was about ten years old, I accidentally ran over a nest of bumblebees with a lawnmower. Within seconds, the air around me was a cloud of bumblebees. I was stung at least 20 times as I ran away. One went up the leg of my cut-off shorts and stung my left nut. It swelled to the size of a tennis ball. When I saw you approached with just shorts on, I knew you were in for it. Congratulations for sticking with it and completing the move.
Bumblebees are no joke. Wow. You are a better man than me no way I’m doing this.
You have some incredible patience.
I reckon once they got a second sting in me I'd be abandoning the save the bumbles line in favour of the M80 firecracker approach.
+I DO NOT WANT TO CHANGE MY NAME YOU SHOWER OF TWERPS it was not fun that's for sure
I do 6 or more bumblebee relocation a year, the key to getting stung less is a full bee suit and bee gloves, and a bee vacuum, then you can get the nest move over easier and set up. only hard part is getting them in the new nesting site, for you need to let them all out at the same time. But always be fully suited up.
Ya full suit is a must
I wish you were near me. I just found a nest with my lawn mower. They swarmed but did not attack. Been mowing there every week and the other day, they came out. I do not want to kill them. I hope they will not nest there next year.
@@ninaconnolly6077 The new queens will over winter and nest in new spots, just in the spring be sure to fill all the wholes in the yard so they do not have a place to set up.
Thanks for sharing. I like bumble bees. They're cute, but I see now that their cuteness is not all that they have.
The Bumblebees where I live in mid atlantic were incredible, almost as docile as a dog or cat, and when I walked outside brown wasps and yellow jackets would be flying around, they would chase the wasps away or bump into them, everyday it was like this. One of the most incredible things I've seen, almost felt like they were consciously protecting me. I don't know if this is typical behavior, I don't know much about bees, but I'd love to learn more about bumblebees because I feel like honey bees get all the limelight.
You're a splendid individual and you suffered for this video, but what you did was amazing! :D
I got tagged by two of them on the back of my neck when i was a kid. their sting is ten times as painful as a honey bee.
