    Very nice. I'm so glad to see you orienting the comb properly; however, putting the comb in the cooler upside-down is likely to kill the developing queen cells- or so I've been told, (I do so many Africanized cut-outs that are simply exterminations, *sigh).
    Nice technique bringing the small foundation as a pattern for you comb. Interesting choice of a Layans hive to place them in.
    God bless you too!

    • @JeffHorchoff

    This looked like a beautiful natural colony surviving just fine on its own. I've removed many colonies in danger of extermination in structures where they interact with humans. In this case, I would like to know if leaving the colony alone would have been an option and maybe even better for the bees and the environment.

    • @JeffHorchoff
      @JeffHorchoff  3 месяца назад +3

      It is always the homeowners choice weather to remove a colony of bees from their property or leave them stay, and in this case, the owners had concerns for their cattle having the bees in the field and wanted the hive relocated. Also, in cases with open air colonies that are as large as this one was, they self destruct over time. Due to the weight of the comb and the exposer to the heat of summer, they break apart and wind up on the ground.

Think I saw the queen about the 3rd from the last comb you put in the cooler. (Didn't rewind to check). Interesting to see the trees are green in March. We'll see a tinge of green on the early stuff mid-April-ish. But leaves wont fully unfurl until mid-May. Even then, Locust wont come out till the 2nd week of June. I so desire to move down there.

      @JeffHorchoff : Solar electric fence on 'T' posts solves the cattle problem. Oil field royalty (12%-15%) of the honey harvest for rights to service the yard might persuade the owner. Everybody knows a 12 pound gallon of honey is worth way more than a 7.2 pound gallon of crude oil and much more tasty.

      I have no answer for your question, it just happens. Though it may seem to be a rare occurrence, it is not all that to uncommon, and I have seen a dozen or more in the years I have been keeping bees. Thanks for watching, and I hope you will check out more of my bee wrangling/ bee rescues adventures and let me know what you think of them. By the way, I post a new video every Friday morning, and I look forward to hearing from you again soon. God's peace Evonne.

      @@trumediamix1I understand that nature intended them to live like that and not in boxes.

      If we would have a bee hive like that in our forest, I would them let be bees. Actually I would be thrilled!

    Jeff and Charlie, I've never seen anything like that in my life. How did that hive protect itself from robbers or wasp?, Winter winds? Wow, nature is amazing as are you guys. Thanks for sharing. Did you ever find the queen?

      @JeffHorchoff  3 месяца назад

      We never did find the queen, but to cover our bets, we added queen cells to make sure the hive would be queen right. If she was in there, they will work it out between themselves. Thanks for watching. God's peace.

      An awesome colony for sure and a real beauty to behold! Bees swarm as a means of perpetuation, and it's how bees survive and multiply. If you are looking for some good honey, check out your local farmers market, there's bound to be a local beekeeper there selling local honey.

    That tree is a great place for swarm traps. I imagine every swarm within 3 miles will land there.

    Super cool! Open hives like that have no chance of surviving here so I never see them!

    • @JeffHorchoff
      @JeffHorchoff  3 месяца назад

      They don't last long down here either, two or three years tops and they they are gone. This one was certainly a spectacular one for sure!
