  • I almost did not go after this swarm but I am glad that I did. It was the largest swarm that I had even seen in person. I would guess it was aroubd 6 pounds of bees on the low end. I did look ion the box today and they where still in the hive so thats a good thing. Hope you enjoyed this swarm removal.

    Keep a Big Gulp plastic cup with you for scooping bees. So much easier. They slip right in and right out. Nice big swarm.

    Keep queen clips handy. Catching the queen or queens is helpful. A swarm that size could have multiple queens.

    That sure was a huge swarm!
    Would you mind taking a look at a video I just posted?
    I have a steady stream of dead bees outside of my hive.
    In the grand scheme of things, it's not that many bees.
    I know bees die all the time, but these little buggers are dying of ~something.
    Even so, the inside of the hive looks fantastic.
    In short, there's a bunch of bees which are dying which look like they're shaking and not moving about.
    Any help or suggestions would bee much appreciated!

      It's probably varroa related or starvation, take a class to learn how to avoid both

      So...don't think it's food.
      Varroa are usually responsible for bringing lots-o-pathogens, but I'd really like to narrow this one down.

    No offense to everyone behind the lens or making things happen "hands on" and with talent.. But, EDITING is the truly tedious part. Some of my friends and I were at the forefront of remote control aerial platforms starting in 1998=ish... I spent 10x more time editing back (if you want to call my amature adobe burps) than I spent traveling to job sites, equipment and all the other incidentals... Just saying, there are definite times when you really shouldn't edit. I think there is FAR TOO much editing and playing around trying to making striking (to some!) videos. I find I gravitate to the good stuff, trimmed or not... Outside of that, what an insane looking hive.. Never seen one like that... Keep up the great work! My cousin has "hobby hives" far out (from home) on their property.. From boxer to beekeeping amatuer.. These videos are great for education, for sure.. I'll share it with him forsure, and others..

  • @jljjoubert3611

    The best was to see such a big swarm and how they managed to save themselves by walking into
    the hive. The rest was disappointing, really this is not the way to do it. Take same experience with
    you to see how it's done. Lastly God's name is sacred,use it only when you talk to Him directly. Cobus🐳
