If you mess with their nest, bumbles will chase you until you get inside a building or a vehicle…then they wait for you to exit!! I learned this lesson at 18 while doing a topographical survey of a field behind a shopping canter many years ago. I unknowingly stepped on their nest & after numerous stings they chased me into a grocery store in front of the center bumping me the whole way. When the crew chief picked us up several minutes later, the bumbles were waiting to chase us across the parking lot. Unbelievable experience.
Wow.
I hope you got hazardous duty pay on that job.
Thats wild; im assuming its because of the pheromones from being stung.
Holy crap man, I never knew that they were aggressive. I've always just let then fly around me and never bothered them. Wow awesome video. Please be safe. Keep up the great work.
In fact, bumblebees are one of the least aggressive bee species in existence. The male bumblebee lacks a stinger but may act more aggressively, though it is completely harmless. The female bumblebee is only aggressive when her nest is in danger. The same is true for carpenter bees, although their females have a much more potent sting and are solitary, not social like bumblebees, so you would not be swarmed by them.
I had a perfect storm on them 5 or so years ago. Got warm early and the overwintering queens had produced good broods when a late hard freeze knocked them out. They are just recovering years later. They are the only pollinators active when my crabapples bloom so they are missed.
Something I learned just a few weeks ago about bumble bees is that once you get them stirred up you can't outrun them on a rear engine Snapper mower.
Ha! We grew up cutting a three-acre yard on a 22" Snapper rider. Every Saturday morning, we were working in the yard while our friends were out playing.
Can't out run yellow jackets on a Craftsmen's mower either. Lol
Your compassion for native bees earned my subscription, plus learning about them stingers lol😊
Thanks for the sub!
YT is acting up, can't give you the like you deserve.
YT messing with me again? :(
@@628DirtRooster In this case with me.
@@628DirtRooster In this case with me (happened on a lot more channels), but it seems to be fixed.
Does that to me also gotta close and reopen
After all these years of watching, one of the few times I've seen you nervous. Made for a good thriller! And as always love your photos
LOL I don't get nervous often.
Your photos are very good, I like them very much.
Thank you very much! I do enjoy photography.
@@628DirtRooster Did you learn photography?
Here in Michigan, I had a bumble bee nest at the edge of my yard. At first I kept wondering why I was getting buzzed by bumble bees whenever I was in that area until I seen them going in a spot under thick English ivy growth. I got chased out of there a couple of times when my curiosity got the best of me, lol. Fortunately, I didn't get stung and just left them alone.
When we ere little kids in PA, a friend of mine decided to tease a bumble bee by flicking a strip of cloth at it over and over. Needless to say that thing chased him for about 50+ yards right into his house, stinging him several times. Pretty stupid of him, but pretty cool to see as a spectator. 🙂
LOL
Those "Bumble Bees" sure do look like Hornets. Aggressive like Hornets, too. On that shop vac hose - a 3' long piece of PVC tubing with an ID slightly larger than the OD of that floppy end nozzle would pressure fit the PVC over the hose end and, with a little Duct Tape would make a rigid end to better control the flopping around whils't suckin' up those buzz bombs. Just a thought.
After all is done less than a cup of Gasoline sprinkled around with a small tarp to concentrate and retain the gas fumes for a 5 or 10 minutes while you drink a coke will take care of stragglers. When quiet just remove the tarp, fold it up and as Jackie Gleason used to say -- "Awayyy Weee Goooo!:

They’re bumblebees, the point is not to kill thwm
That was interesting to watch. I've never seen a bumblebee nest and always thought they were sort of on the friendly side. Thanks.
Ya them Bumbles got big stingers, they don't use them often but they hurt good.😲Big nest of them.
Yes, they leave you something to remember your experience.
Great video Mr Rooster…🙏🏼🐝 💛
Here in UK, our bumble bee’s are one sting & gone… & are cute in colour🐝
The wasps on the other hand are continual stingers
I hate to be so ignorant, I can understand honeybee rescues, but I thought bumblebee's were considered pest insects. I don't understand why they were rescued and relocated if they are so hazardous to be around. I know they are pollinators, like regular bees, but are they worth all the trouble?
They are better pollinators for certain plants such as blueberries than honey bees are.
Are they always aggressive? I uncovered some bumblebees in my shed then another nest in a camper. The ones in my camper buzzed but never came after me. The ones in the shed I just covered back up and they didn’t come after me. I just thought that maybe they just didn’t protect their nest like wasps usually do.
What species of Bumblebee are these, they look alot different to the Buff-Tailed Bumblebee (Bombus terrestris) we get here in Europe. It's interesting that the species you have don't lose their sting whereas ours to the best of my knowledge do. When I was younger I was stung by one and the sting with the venom sac attached was sticking out of my leg.
Fantastic pictures! But what are you going to do with the bumblebees?
Take them home and teach them to beehave
@@628DirtRooster😂😂 but really!? Where or how to you “rehome” all those bees??
Oh..I see…just watch til the end…lol
@@jf1a8x1 :)
Nice work! You need Venom Steel Nitrile gloves. Walmart carries them. They are black on outside and white on inside so I turn them inside out. They are heavier duty than the blue nitrile gloves and don’t rip as easy. Never been stung through nitrile gloves yet.
I'll have to see if they have any that fit me.
I hit a nest opening a road up in a forestry block but it didn't have that many bees in it
Hope they didn't treat you too badly.
@@628DirtRooster
Had the windows closed and the air con running so that kept them at by but they did follow the digger for about 400 meters before most of them gave up
Best way to get out of a speeding ticket 😂.
Cop. What you got in that bucket
628. Bumblebees
Cop. Have a nice day
That's just the coolest thing ever!
Thanks man!
Where was Peet at in the bumblebees 🐝
I left him at home.
Hey Randy, you should have long blonde hair,” just another day of saving the baby bees” 😂
Great video. THeir great pollinators. Well done on the removal!!
LOL I could get a nice wig but people would be more focused on that big ole fat blonde lady man than what I was doing with the bees.
@@628DirtRooster 🤣🫶🤗
They almost look like carpenter bees, unless they are white faced bees
They do look pretty similar
At least that did not turn into the Bird House. If you have anyone stealing packages from your porch then you have a fix for them 🤷♂️🤷♂️🤷♂️.
LOL I loved that little bird house.
Bumblebees and carpenter bees are the only species that seem to be interested in pollinating my string beans.
May be because of the length of their proboscis.
Alawys enjoy your photography.
Be top guard dogs.😂
Thank you for saving the Bumblebees!! I’m sorry you got stung! But you did a good thing!
If they make Randy nervous Im not messing with them!!! 😆🤣
LOL We could double team them.
200 angry bumblebees! Dang! Never knew they didn't lose their stingers, learn something new everyday! Also never knew they had nestslike that, always thought they were solitary! Awesome video!
Not all of them have nests like that but I think all or most of them builds nests in the ground. Different types of bumblebees makes different nests.
You might confuse them with carpenter bees, as they are solitary and have a similar appearance with a black abdomen. The males have white fur on their necks which can make them resemble bumblebees. Unlike bumblebees, they don’t form colonies, and their males also lack a stinger. Both species’ males are the ones who act most aggressively but are completely harmless. The females only sting when their nest or they themselves are threatened, so pinching or touching them can get you stung. Holding them is fine, however. I’ve fed them regularly by letting them crawl on my hand.
@@georgeide2337 I learned what you wrote just a few years ago, after purchasing a small acreage with a partially-remodeled house. I got dive-bombed every time I approached the front door, and thought I had a nest of bumbles in the porch roof. But I never got stung (was great because I'm allergic to wasps and mildly allergic to bees) so finally took the time to discover they were carpenter bees. Fought those little devils for a long time, they were carving up the boards on my house, LOL. But they never got around to stinging me!
Bumblebees foraging => Bumblebees
Bumblebees in their nest => Bumblebears 😄
Thanks for the video, that took quite some bravery!
If you hear HIM say "I chickened out." You know there is zero chance any of us would have had any chance there! 😜
😂I like that.
Definitely bumblebears
I like Bumblebear, What do you think of bumblebeast?
The bumblebees are native. Honeybees are NOT. I'd save them any day; but what can I say; I'm a Native American too.
I’m a Native American too. So is everyone who was born in America.
Everything “native” gets screwed eventually! Sad but true.
Thank you for saving and rehiring the bumblebee bees instead of exterminating🌺
I enjoy seeing them on my open feeders.
I once disturbed a bumblebee nest. I actually put my hand in it, thinking it was just an abandoned mouse nest. I didn’t get stung, but it wasn’t a strong nest. There were some wax moth larvae in the nest as well.
I didn't even think about moths eating the remains.
Bumblebees seek out old mouse nests to nest in , the are drawn to the smell of mouse urine, mice have no bladder
@@petermaunsell4575 I pulled one out of an old squirrel nest this year.
@@petermaunsell4575mice do have bladders
I didn't know that BumbleBees keep their stinger. Important information for me, since I'm allergic to bee stings. When I had horses, I had little white tail bees in all my stables, and they never bothered the horses, or us. The first time I was stung is because I went to remove rubbish from a hole in the kick-boards, and didn't know they had a nest there. All my ground Bumblebees died this year due to the amount of rain we've had. One drawback to being on the water table. I'm so sad, because I'm so used to my garden being full of them. It's been so quiet without them.
We get a lot of them around our property but I feed them so the population is going to be higher there.
Did they live?😮
They appear to be thriving.
You got nerves of steel DirtRooster628...
I'd be panic mode...
God bless you, my friend...❤😮
I used to. haha
Aren't those protected in the USA? Here all wild bees and bumble bees are vanishing because of bad farming, poison, grass lands without any flowers etc... it is a big crises..
no.. only a couple species in HI
Not protected and pretty plentiful in our area.
This title and that t-shirt make me concerned for my safety watching this video.
Wow, I stumbled upon a bumble bee nest in a crawl space, when I thought I would encounter a bald face hornet nest. I had never found one before so I experimented with them to test for aggression ect... They totally did not act like these bumble bees in your video. When I disturbed their nest they didn't outright attack, but laid down on their backs buzzing with their stingers in the air. Like they were trying to defend from any animal that would try to stuff it's face in their nest to eat their larva. I don't know if the ones flying around me were trying to sting, but once I crawled out of there they weren't following me.
sir you are one of the bravest men alive today. Don’t know anyone who’d be willing to do what you do. Glad your trusted tools are working out well for you!
Wow Rooster what a cool video , i didn't know BB would not loose there stinger. I tell you these Yellow Jackets here in East Ky are everywhere and they seem to be getting meaner every day .
It’s getting that time of year down here. Southern yellow jackets are pure evil
I plead idiot but i thought bumble bees did not have stingers what are the differences please let me know
My bird dogs will mess with and eat honeybees without any affect. A single bumble bee will drop them and require a visit to the vet
Bumble bees are so tough.
Wow great job. Love the photos and of course that pretty curly hair gal 😄🥰your love ❤️
She's a great photography subject
You keep getting better and better at handling those cameras.
🤣 I read this right when he shoved it into the ground at 1:57. But yeah love his videos
Love the video, Randy! And of course the photos are always my favorite! We need a photo walk!
Run!! Oh my! I don’t blame your wife for not being happy you brought them home 😲
Yes! and WHY?!
Bumblebee nest and opps hang on gotta check for snakes 😮 how do you people survive to adulthood again 😅 no snakes, scorpions, big wild cats in southern New Zealand, we have one poisonous spider and it's nocturnal 😂 but to make up for it further north from me we have a vine plant that produces the most poisonous honey in the world so i guess it evens out 😂
That's sayin' something, because I thought every living creature in NZ and Australia is created just to kill humans!😮
I don't think bumble bee nucs is a profitable venture.
I'm thinking of selling them as gag gifts.
Beautiful pictures with the perfect music!
Thank you! Cheers!
Have never seen a bumble bee nest. That’s something else.
Not so cute when they boil out like that. I remember that one vid you did where you did get tore up by bumbles.
Ah, fun memories. :)
Driving while influenced by Bumble Bees ! Very motivational excellent on the job equipment rating !
Daryl could have used this information a few years ago. 😂😂😂😂
Haaa!! He's the only other person I know who has relocated bumble bees.
Bumble Bees are literal miracles... According to aviation engineering they should not even be able to fly when their body size and weight compared to the size of their wings are calculated! They are amazing little creatures! :D
That's actually a myth but bumblebees are very interesting nonetheless.
Im new to your channel can i just ask how you tolerate being stung so often
You get used to it I guess. I tolerate any pain fairly well though.
Another great video. This would have been a great time to use the clear round nozzle extender on the hose end. I can imagine the slow-motion video of the BB's going up the see-through nozzle, cool! I like mean bees, but even I will stay away from bubbles!
AW DUDE!! I can't believe I didn't think of that. 240 frames per second of those big old bees shooting through a clear tube would have made some epic slow motion video.
Think we need a bigger vacuum 😂
have you tried the Honey from bumblebees and does is taste good?
They may store a little nectar or something but they don’t make honey.
have you ever been stung so bad you were sick for some time?
Yes, from yellow jackets
They'll make a good security system for your property.
Yes sir, stay away from the spare stack of deep boxes.
You filmed this with an iPhone didn’t u.
Mostly iPhone. Some was DJI Osmo Action 4
Thank you for Sharing Randy. Great video
You bet. Thanks for watching Russell.
Those things were huge didn’t know they had nest
They are interesting critters.
A bucket full of hurt!
you always have some of the nicest music ! and,love your show.love what you do for the bees !
Thanks for listening. It takes hours to find the right music sometimes.
That is one hive I would not help you with Eric D
But it would be really fun
I have 2 underground bumble bee nests on my farm. I try to leave them alone.
We have some around here but I have no clue where they are. The visit my feeders when I open feed cut out comb.
Love your videos you are amazing👍. Nice friendly teddy bear that is very knowledgeable when it comes to bees. Keep up the great work😊😊.
So nice of you! Thanks for the kind words.
That's crazy, I'm gonna have nightmares now! You guys have some serious issues down there LOL! Great Job Randy!
Haha! Sleep tight buddy.
They pollinate we farmers need them
They do make great pollinators
Thanks for saving the Bumble Bees. Awesome video!
Loved the music and pictures at the end. 👍🏿
Great pic of the coast Randy. Beautiful place
WOW, the species of bumblebees in my part of Canada is smaller and NOT near as numerous per nest, okay well, the queens though are large .... BUT, they all sure can sting HARD!
You saved the bee's? That's awesome. I don't see them as much as I used too. Been in decline for about 10-15 years now I've noticed. Can say the same with dragon flies and spruce bugs? I think I seen one dead spruce bug this year, when I usually get hit a few times a year. You can see and feel them Spruce bugs coming thank goodness, because they can draw blood. You know, I could say that about the wasps? Never seen one so far this early fall? But sure see lots of chem trails, makes me wonder if that crap those planes spew has something to do with the noticeable insect decline?
Another fantastic video .... always look forward to them brother .. much love from Oklahoma brother
Something to think about. Look at SOLAR INVERTERS as a back up power supply. You can get SMALL unit to VERY LARGE unit. Its something to have in a very remote spot. I caved in and purchased a large one for my home. If the power goes out over an extended period, , I can charge and use during the day and relay on battery during the night.
It's like watching an endless wing of attack helicopters swarming out of their bunkers at the beginning there. You would have been REAL sorry without that vacuum, DR!
My dad was cutting 10 acres and we were about to the edge of the property working. I was clearing and piling brush on foot he was on the mower . He hit a nest about 50 feet from me they didn't chase him they flew strait at me and started attacking 😂 once the first one got me they were all locked on . Man they lit me up as i ran that 10 acres back to the house tagging me the whole way. I had over 100 stings and ended up sicker than hell throwing up and running a fever i was miserable 🙃
Ah yes, fond memories of D'Iberville. When I was stationed at Keesler AFB (1995) going through tech school to become a weather forecaster, I 'dated' a girl that was from there. Met her at one of the casinos on one of the few occasions I went out gambling. We hung out for about 3 weeks...even went to that area under the I-110 bridge where that lady was shrimping. Came to discover that those 3 weeks were just my 'turn'; after we stopped seeing each other, I had seen her in the student dormitory area on base on 2 different occasions hanging out with a different dude each time. During my last few weeks there before I finished my training, I had heard that some other guy got her pregnant...always wondered what happened after that.
A question here. Would adding a wide mouth funnel in the end of the hose help guide more bumble bees into the hose? You know, like just sit the hose funnel and all on top of the hole. I know you wouldn't be able to use a funnel in all areas, but in certain areas where you could set the funnel flat on the ground.
They use bumblebees to pollinate in greenhouses here in UK and managing them is a bit secret.
Will you let us know if your transfer survived? Not easy.
We had a cold wet spring here and I've barely seen a bumble since. Bad year for wild insects.
Hey I realize this is of subject but I've been trying with my honey at least 2 pints in the refrigerator its been in there for 4 months really thick but hasn't turned to sugar
I tell you what stay way clear of bumblebees they will absolutely burn you up with bites and stings even if you are ten feet away from the nest. They bite and sting at the same time. Not fun. Give them a good distance if possible. Got absolutely torn up by them while weedeating around a well overgrown pond. Yeah it hurts quite a bit and they storm you all at once. But they are highly valuable pollinators so let them do their thing and stay far away from them.
I love watching wasp and bee videos but I have NEVER ever seen a Bumblebee nest video, ever! Very interesting!!
I put my ETBV in the passenger seat with the ac vent blowing into the screen. Great machine. I am thinking a hardware cloth funnel with the hose at the top might contain the little darlings a bit so you dont have so many fugitives...
The mean things got stung 4 times by one that got caught in my boot. But the crippling pain I had from plantar fasciitis went away about the same time. They’re still more pleasant than yellow jackets.
Thats something I've always wondered is what happens to the bumble bees in winter do they die off n come fro. Another place back to places like here or does some hibernate n live on to produce next year that's cool had no clue the queen was the only surviver
Yep... its all party time till they decide to crawl up your jeans and have a ball. Id be wrapping the pants cuff😂😅
I though bumblebees were chill cuddlebugs, are they different in the US? They look a bit different.
I have found several nest and was able to taste/eat the honey after smoking them with a cigarette. They had not yet capped the honey cells so I just squeezed a bunch of them into my hand till my palm was full. Too bad there was no way to leave them till the end of the season. Great pollinators .
The USS Biloxi had a nickname. ""The Busy Bee."
If ya didn't believe n the product ur using ya wouldn't be using it id gather I mean ya know these products u use r n every video from way back I mean same thing
Sorry love 😂😂😂 these are angry lol, almost as as bad Sorry love, drinking beers with the boys 😂😂😂😂
Bees are sexy 😢 don't kill them. Ripper fluffy things😂.😊
Never seen make a nest that big, but im in wa state, much cooler, but did learn something about not losing stingers, didn't know that,thank you. I also prefer to let em be a bee lol.
I was removing bees from a vacant house and there was a softball size nest of B bees close by in insulation and they wernt mean I didn’t move the nest just looked at it and covered it up with insulation
What is the reason for saving these bees? And why to his own yard? I just don't get it. Are they pollinators? Are they endangered?
