It’s 7F here (-13C) here in Canada today which is warm for this time of year. The amount of heat they create is amazing. Thank you for another amazing video.
Unbelievable!! I have a wild hive about 100' from my deck here in B'ham AL. It was 70 today & I got bumped for the 1st time this year. I've watched them swarm, complete mating flights, & I routinely observe them about 10' below their entrance in the huge oak tree they call home. They never bother me. If they ever do end up hot like your africanized bees, I'm dead. Bad knees & can barely walk much less run. Fascinating critters. Great video. Keep em' coming.
Loved all of the educational facts in this video! Bees are truly fascinating!! By the way, it was 55 degrees here in NY yesterday. I think Mother Nature is confused!!
My day is not complete until I get my daily fix of killer bee guy videos. You are doing a necessary service for humanity. And your honey products are mighty delicious!
Thank you 😊 for sharing your knowledge as well as your killer bee 🐝 removal ! You’re my personal hero lol as you face what many others run from just @ the word of Bees 🐝.
I didn't know bees could fly around that well in these temperatures. I've seen other vids where typical European bees are extremely sluggish until the ambient temps hit a certain level. These must a freak of nature...I guess you learn something new everyday.
My bees fly at 38 degrees, but they are gentle Italians. I killed an Africanized hive in Lehigh Acres Florida probably had 250000 bees and my gloves probably took 7000 stings. My jacket 30000 sting. Me about 80 stings. They had to die. I made certain. You should have CO2 fire extinguishers. Kills the bees, does not contaminate the honey. I used to think it was proper to requeen I don't think that anymore. It only takes one time.
Reed how much money do you think some on would pay for the bees empty comb when its basically turned in to a kitchen plate by covering the comb in epoxy resin?
Great video. I love the commentary & interesting facts, you shared. I may have to hire you to come to Pearce, to remove a honey bee hive once I find it. They are in my chicken coop, eating pollen off their food.
So, I need some comb for swarm traps. Is there a way I can get some of the comb your throwing away? Sure'd make it easier if I had comb with bee smell.
Where do all of the bees go that are hanging around after their hive is removed? Do they find somewhere else to build? I would be worried about that, lol.
Their stingers won't stick in our suits unless it gets down to skin. Then it's cuss and swear time! We really don't get stung much anymore mainly due to the improvements to the beesuits.
Cotonwood buds are the biggest supply of propelys, spelling bad, but you know. You get around cottonwoods, or quaking aspens in the summer, it smells like you're in a hive, both in the genus Populus. Populus tremuloides, and can't remember species for common lowland cottonwoods
Some of these very old places, where springs used to be, there are big cottonwoods, and along the San Pedro, I bet they work the hell outa the miles of Cottonwoods. Nothing else has that sweet smell Now I have more reason to get that new camera with a bigger lens than the one I have, plus a macro lens. The way it goes, right after buying my Canon 10MP, they really started taking a jump. When I first got it, I was amazed, and took the best batch of pics of my life down in Belize. I think I finally got a pic of a Toucan, my third trip, learning their call. They are pretty wild, as the poor people are always trying to catch for money. @@KillerBeeGuy
I suppose 25 degrees is cold for Arizona. Here in Wisconsin that's just a warmup. I am glad killer bees can't handle our weather kinda like Arizona people. I don't see how lots of rock, clay dirt can be beautiful. I suppose if your looking at rock all the time in a desert and come along a few feet of vegetation some how that would look beautiful in a desperate way to see some greenery. Keep killin em bee wangler.
Hey Daniel! I was born in Eau Claire! I've seen -10 (yes that's minus) here but Bisbee is a mile high so it's a poor excuse for a desert. Google some pics of it and you'll be shocked! It gets down to 15 -20 almost every night here in the winter. Tucson 100 miles to the north is where hell is. Rarely freezes and in the summer 100+ every day. Phoenix is MUCH worse!
Watching this a year and some later, but I gotta say, Reed, your commentary is fantastic. However, regarding spandex: there is no one in heaven, hell, or Middle Earth, who looks good in spandex. Except Jason Mamoa. He's the only person on the planet who can wear that abominable shit and look good in it. Just sayin.
You really don't eliminate the killer bee's?? Your dispersing them!!!!! Why if there killer bee's are you not vacuuming this up and eliminating the bee's??
OK hold on there cowboy! All of the hives we remove die. The remnant bees (those left over) will die off over the coming days. Also these bees avoid the suction of a vacuum. We do use one when appropriate but not always. Please watch a few more of our vids. We explain everything! Happy New Year!

Bee careful! They killed a beek in CT! (That's beekeeper lingo).

Due to global Swarming...
My day is not complete until I get my daily fix of killer bee guy videos. You are doing a necessary service for humanity. And your honey products are mighty delicious!
Thank you sooo much! We have a Premier on RUclips this afternoon at 3 PM MST!
Thank you 😊 for sharing your knowledge as well as your killer bee 🐝 removal !
You’re my personal hero lol as you face what many others run from just @ the word of Bees 🐝.
Thank you sooo much! If I may ask, what state are you in?
I didn't know bees could fly around that well in these temperatures. I've seen other vids where typical European bees are extremely sluggish until the ambient temps hit a certain level. These must a freak of nature...I guess you learn something new everyday.
They have been adapting every year. Getting weirder!

Reed how much money do you think some on would pay for the bees empty comb when its basically turned in to a kitchen plate by covering the comb in epoxy resin?
Good question! I've thought about things like this over the years. would be beautiful!
Where's Amanda? 😭😭😭
Amanda has moved on the other adventures.
Colder Temps mean aggressive bees...or so they say..Can't wait to see!
Hell these bees wake up aggressive.
Wow cold out! So fun!
Yes it was!
This is awesome! Would love to see you do a video on the full process of honeycomb, to honey in a jar.
Great suggestion!
Great video. I love the commentary & interesting facts, you shared. I may have to hire you to come to Pearce, to remove a honey bee hive once I find it. They are in my chicken coop, eating pollen off their food.
Deal! They could be coming from a ways away. Let me know if you find it!
Can the old comb be melted down and used?
It's way too much of a PITA!
Bees make hay when the Sun shines.
And on a full moon with these bees!
Do you sell the pollen for people with local allergies? I heard that some put the pollen in a gel cap and ingest it and it helps with their allergies.
Yupers! It's on my website. killerbeeguy.com
So how long will it take for those bees to die flying around in that temperature?
With it that cold they might last 24 hours.
INCREDIBLE! I am stunned!
Wow, thank you! More vids coming!
20° in Michigan and we wear hoodies 🤣😂🤣😂👍 love the videos and the Honey
Thank you so much! More vids coming!
So, I need some comb for swarm traps. Is there a way I can get some of the comb your throwing away? Sure'd make it easier if I had comb with bee smell.
Where are you located?
Love it!
PS...missing Wisconsin? Lol
Ha! Nope!
Those bees seem pretty feisty for the time of year. It is fascinating watching your videos, and a little bit scary
That's what I thought! I'm so glad you are enjoying the vids!
Where do all of the bees go that are hanging around after their hive is removed? Do they find somewhere else to build? I would be worried about that, lol.
The remnant bees die off without the rest of the hive!
With a crazy hive like this, how many bees typically sting your suit and die?
Their stingers won't stick in our suits unless it gets down to skin. Then it's cuss and swear time! We really don't get stung much anymore mainly due to the improvements to the beesuits.
@@KillerBeeGuy: that's good news
have you tried a drywall saw? I would think it would work much better than the puddy knife
For removing the comb, yes. Because of the propolis and wax everything gets gummed up real quick!
Hod I love this channel!
God I meant.
I figured. I'm so glad you are enjoying the vids!
Now I am clearer in knowing comb doesn't necessarily mean Honey, though that is obviously something for Bees to defend. Either way, it is fascinating.
Exactly! Three parts to the comb. More vids coming!
How are they flying around in 25 degree weather? 🤔
Exactly! And they work on a full moon!
If Coco gets stung she will end up with coco puffs.
Oh hell ya! I am sooo stealing that!
I just took a massive dose of magic mushrooms. Watching your videos is probably not in my best interest at this moment.
I’ll come back next week.
Probably a good idea. Not a good buzzzzzz.......
That old stiff/brittle comb could use a wrecking bar.
Right!? Hard AF!
How do they fly in 23 degree weather?
I'm always amazed by these Killers!

Around here they like the Cypress trees in the winter for propolis. Other plants for pollen!
Some of these very old places, where springs used to be, there are big cottonwoods, and along the San Pedro, I bet they work the hell outa the miles of Cottonwoods. Nothing else has that sweet smell Now I have more reason to get that new camera with a bigger lens than the one I have, plus a macro lens.

Tape and tuck, those girls are MEAN.
Do you ever use a bee vac?
Sometimes but not always. Depends on the job.

I live in Chicago. It’s not even close to cold!!!
WAY too cold up there for me!
So with every job does the customer get a sample of their honey you collect?
Oh yes! Usually a jar of honey if there's no comb!
Howdy
👋
Hey MoJo!
should have brought a better knife to cut the comb.....😉
The Killer Bee Nation supplies us with new and better equipment all the time! And ideas?
Thanks to the a-holes who cross-bread these things and let them go from South America. (If that's how the story goes)
Pretty much!
Warmer in PA 40’s
Go figure!

Thought this would be interesting, but every other word is an expletive. Do you need to cuss in every sentence? Not cool.
So turn it off. I'm not here to make you happy. Just to educate you.
Isn't it time to find a way to eliminate them!?
They are like mosquitoes, everywhere! All we can do is mitigate the threat in specific locations.
Dude u need better tools!
We got them now! That vid was 'pre new tool' time.
