A Hive Full of Baby Bees

- Bees built a hive under the cover of a backyard fire pit and I was called to remove them. This was a small colony, but as I started to remove their hive I found that they had a super strong queen and the hive was full of baby bees! I had to work as slowly and carefully as I could to keep the baby bees safe, find the queen and get all the bees into the new hive.
Stay tuned for a lot more bee videos coming soon to TH-cam!!!

I imagine that the bees of your state probably know about you from stories from other bees at this point since you're so good at this.
I'll bet they do!!! She is amazing. Kind, gentle spirit.
Surely they got the bee-mail
I agree!
They have a special wiggle dance for "she's over there--->"
There may just be more truth in that than we’ll ever know. They are able to give really specific directions to other bees with their own little “language” I’m sure they can communicate other things we haven’t deciphered yet
Your respect and care for the bees is probably why they’re docile around you. You have a caring spirit. Good for you. You are The Bee Whisperer.😊
I think it also has a lot to do with the calm way in which she works plus her lack of anxiety is probably communicated to the bees.
I have handled a few bees in my time and thousands of other six and eight legged Animals. There are some really fine keepers out there, but you Ma'am in my opinion, are not only a great caring keeper but such an awesome teacher and storyteller. many, many blessings, I just love you're videos so much. I hope you never stop much love and respect 🙏 ❤️
@@BrotherChad Wasps are cool
Iv been attacked by bees on a few occasions and by some particularly unhappy hornets once , due to my job I come across them sometimes,so iv developed a bit of a fear ,we have wasps here in Tasmania,one is not native to here yellow and black striped ones I think they might be from Spain .
@@Nick-rr5cy the wasps we have here in Scotland are yellow and black and man!! they are so angry always looking for a fight!! 😮 there’s an old saying here for someone who continually pisses you off for no reason and it’s “they’re like a wasp at a picnic!!” 😂
I love these bee rescue videos 🥹🥹🥹🥹🥹🥹🥹🥹🥹🥹🥹🥹🥹🥹🥹🥹🥹🥹🥹🥹🥹🥹🥹🥹🥹🥹🥹🥹🥹🥹🥹
@Tyler Farbes Oh I do to buddy I could watch these all day they are fascinating.
I love how you rescue unwanted hives and explain what you're doing. After watching several of your videos, I started getting suggestions of other beekeepers who rescue hives. I started watching them and found that I like your technique more. It seems gentler, less invasive, and more respective than the others I have watched.
I caught my first swarm yesterday! I watched an hour of your videos to prepare myself. I even scooped a few handfuls! Thanks to you I got over my fear and helped save the bees ❤
Wow! Way to go!! 🙌🏻🙌🏻
Yay!! I love this.
It's your aura of calm that keeps the bees docile!
I grew up terrified of bees. Watching you save colony after colony, and being so respectful of everything about bees, has completely changed my mind about them. Thank you for saving the bees. After finding you, I’ve watched a bunch of bee vids. You are my favorite. So calm and kind. ❤
I never tire of watching you care for bees. Your respect, compassion and calm are so evident and wonderful to see.
I like the way she says "baby bees". So gentle .
I’m always fascinated how you do your work without wearing any beekeeping gear. What a gift you have with bees.
Have you heard of JP the Bee guy 😀🤣👍🏽👍🏽 check him out 👍🏽👍🏽🤣🤣😀😀 he's cool 😎😀🤣👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽
As am I!
After being stung many times, it won't bother you anymore.
I know this was essentially easy mode for us, but I'm still happy I was able to see which one was the queen before you circled her!
Me, too!
Yeah, I’m getting better at that too…lol
The washing machine hive was really A-Grade Queen seeking skill requirement
Same!🐝
It’s like seeing worm cocoons in a compost bin, once you learn to recognize them they jump out at you.
Your respect for these animals is just heart warming and inspiring. Bees (and bumblebees) are my favourite animals and I enjoy learning more about them and just seeing your careful, respectful treatment of them in your videos. Thank you for taking the time to film these videos for us 💛🖤🧡 🐝 🐝 🐝
They’re uh…they’re insects. But I agree with you, they’re very sweet and gentle!
Try removing bumble bees with no protection because you respect them
@@LocalGooberGoobs When they said animal I just knew that someone would have commented, nope there insects.
I love to see Bumblebee's when I am sat out side, they are just great creatures.
Having been a bee keeper for a few years, it's great to see the rescue work you're doing.
This channel is so inspiring, relaxing, informative, and entertaining all at once. The work you do is so important and you deserve to be praised for your efforts in bee conservation.
Well said!
Texas is lucky to have people like you
You are amazing . With people like you , Humanity has a good future .
Best TH-cam channel to watch while I’m knitting 🧶🐝💗🙏🏻 and I’m learning so much thank you darling 🙏🏻💗🐝
I have no doubts that the bees feel your love for them. And we can feel it too ❤️
It’s nice how she calms the bees with her voice
There is something about this that makes me want to cry. They are such a noble species and your soft, kind efforts to move bees to a safe space is so wonderful and brave.
you're a beautiful human. the world could use more people like you.
So cool to see the baby bee emerging! Thanks for sharing! Your videos always brighten my day and make me smile. 😊
Nice! We are still in winter up here. Just fed the bees some sugar cakes. But the queen is laying, so good news. - Eric.
I love how calm you are. You are a natural and the bees are so lucky to have you! I would love to spend a day with you!
I just watch these to hear "and it was another great day of saving the bees!"
HA! I love it! Thanks for watching!
Thank you for revealing your philosophy and techniques. Your work crosses the line into artistry. I never get tired of watching you remove bees and save them.
I LOVE your videos! They're so calming. I find that if I'm having a stressful day, rewatching your videos helps me feel more at peace.
You should also watch the version with stuffed toys! They are so cute ^.^
cause i have a TBI it is important for me all is as relaxed as possible no haste loudness this is great for me so relaxed
@rosee chevrier what video is that with the stuffed animals? I can’t find it. Thanks so much
I just love that you are so compassionate and that you imagine how the bees are feeling when working with them.
I really like your voice and Vocal Timbre. Have you ever considered doing a audiobook About bees🐝 . You have a very calming voice and cadence when you narrate. No wonder the bees love you.
Without bees the world dies I love what you do your amazing 😍
It's fascinating how bees create the combs with such precision and perfection. Nature is perfect.
It is just so wonderful and captivating and fascinating what this lovely woman does. Bless her and Bless the Bee's.
I honestly love all the information you give us with these removals. Also you have just such a calming voice and technique that I find myself feeling calm and content after listening to you! Keep up the great work!
I am a beekeeper in East London, South Africa. If we have to do a removal like that without a bee suite or gloves, we most probably die or at best end up in hospital. Its crazy to watch this done without a suite. So jealous
Being respectful of their hard work.... you're amazing! and so calm! Wonderful work you're doing, and a great channel to learn from! Thank you!
Your voice is so soothing. It reflex how you work with the bees. I am amazed at how much the bees respect you and allow you to help them. That has to be a rare talent.
Thank you for your service and care!!
Always calm and relaxing in the way you handle your bees. Glad you are on TH-cam.
Wonderful- bees are so essential to our eco system.
I adore your empathy and consideration of these beautiful and so important little bee-ings!
I just love your tone of voice and story telling. You have a beautiful gift thank you for sharing and keep the videos coming. Bless you and the 🐝
Thank you so much for watching and for your thoughtful comment! I feel like the luckiest person in the world to get to do what I love every day, and I really appreciate folks like you supporting me here online. The bees and I have a lot more coming soon!
Do you talk to the bees as you remove them and put them into frames?
I do swarm captures and easy bee removal jobs in South Australia. I always talk to the bees. Sometimes it's not enough to keep them calm but it does help.
Such a Lovley person your parents were blessed. From UK 🇬🇧🇬🇧
You are such a Goddess of the Bees. They love you and and your soft, kind, sweet vibration.
This was amazing to watch! I have long wanted to start beekeeping and this was totally inspiring.
Thank you Bee Angel! ❤
Bees scare my mom, but bees are amazing and you save them! Your really good of taking care of bees.
A “Bee Charmer” . It’s a gift. Thankyou
you are awesome bee lady. I have always been intrigued by bees. last fall i was camping and a bee (yellow jacket) came in, so I put a bit of honey on the edge of my cupboard and the bee went right to it. Soon he (?) left but returned and all day he made a dozen trips. It was getting colder and I bet He was a hero when he showed up at the hive lol the next day it was back , and had a couple buddies in tow. As I would dab the honey on the cupboard they would excitedly gather some up , hover at the door of my camper, I let them out , they would leave for 15 minutes or so, then there they would be, hovering outside the door ready for another load. this happened for the next couple days, until snow fell. I videoed them landing on my honey-covered fingertip and doing the little vibration dance , as if to thank me. It was relaxing and I enjoyed watching them. and providing the last treat of the summer
I wish millions of people were bee keepers like you sweetheart because I love the love and sweet honey!
I absolutely love your channel. You are a perfect bee advocate. Thankyou
You are a perfect bee keeper young lady…I look forward to your channel….historically, there have been persons who were recognized to have your qualities..especially in England and Europe….they were highly respected
I love this videos. Always so interesting. Good job on your awesome beekeeping.
Thank you so much!
I’m doing a beekeeping course next month here in England, beekeeping is something I’ve always wanted to do, so at the ripe old age of 34 I can’t wait to get started! 🙂
❤
This is the only channel I’ve seen where you treat the bees as colleagues or even pets vs livestock. For example, you use exactly as much smoke as needed rather than drenching them in it.
Wow!!
You are amazing and kind!!
You are literally saving us humans while you are saving the Bees!!
I have learned so much about Bees because of you!
Your technique is so calming and soothing to listen to..
And I am positive that the Bees you save are thinking that this human who is helping them is, "Bee-Youtiful" ❤❤
Thank you for sharing this with the Whole World!! ❤❤
These videos NEVER get old every single one fascinating
Love your narration ❤️
Thank you, Dan! I didn’t know y’all were on TH-cam. I’m so glad to see you here and to subscribe to your channel! ❤️🐝
@@TexasBeeworks just started! More places to stalk you :D
Love to watch you save our future! We can’t grow without bees !!
Loving your work. Please continue to share it.
I love watching you relocate the bees. How many bee boxes do you have? Where did you learn to do your work? What do you do with the bees? How often are you stung? Thank you for a wonderful video. Your care and compassion show.
I looked her up because I was curious too. From what I see... she has about 50 boxes (hives) in an apiary behind her house
@@bethannprather1462 I can’t imagine 50 hives. A small squirt bottle of honey lasts me 3 years. I really love her calm demeanor and it is obvious that she is passionate about saving the bees.
Thank you for replying to my questions. I appreciate your help. I still want to know how many times she has been stung.
Have a great day.
@@WBS-WingRider-CO you too
I love your videos and find them a rare combination of calm narration and genuine care. They have a wonderful meditation quality.
Watching this lady do her work and explain about the bee really calms me down. Thank you so much for your work and much appreciated. You have gained a new subscriber #calming #bee #work
Erika is the Bee Guardian Angel. When she arrives, the bees celebrate because they know she will improve their lives and protect the Queen.
She scoops them.. by hand. That’s not something just anyone can do. That’s not something even many people can do. For many reasons.. Of all the words that come to mind the most fitting.. is admiration. I hope she finds the fulfillment in her profession that she deserves 🇺🇸
I think you're just terrific and I thank you for your service to all of nature. It's a service to humans as well. Thank you.
And it was another great day of saving the beeeezzz! ❤❤❤
I’m always blown away by you. It’s really amazing what you do to save the bees. I understand that they are not aggressive, but how do they not interpret you cutting their hive as something they need to defend against?
The bees are not normally aggressive. A hive will attack IF the other bees are being killed, and the send out a distress hormone that signals the other bees to attack. She is not killing anyone. Cutting the hive does not hurt the bees. They dont view that in a "human" way. They are bees, not people who jump to conclusions.
That's it, my new ringtone: IT WAS ANOTHER GREAT DAY OF SAVING THE BEES love your videos, please keep making them.
And it was another great day of saving the bees #myfavoritepartofeveryvideo
love when you say, "was another day of saving the bees"
Would love to see something on how you got interested in BEES .
You make it so interesting.
Thank you for helping the bees.
I really appriciate your work ... The way you transfer is really very nice no bees get hurt ... And your calmness during whole process of rescue is nice 😊.... An incourage me aswell to do these kinda job... Keep uploading these kinda videos so that we could learn how to treat with these insects .... ❤️
would love to see the permanent hives; curious how quickly a new hive adapts to being relocated.
You do great work. So interesting and educational.
Excellent! I enjoyed learning about "The Bees" very much. It is always good to learn.
Thank you for the work that you do. Bees are so important
Thank you for all you do
I think you're wonderful.
Thanks so much for your so very, very important & vital work.
I'd love to see a video where you move the bees from the travel hive into a permanent hive!
If anyone feels anxious or suffers from insomnia, your videos are definitely going to help them ☺️
Watching your videos for some reason just makes me feel good.
5:40 Baby bee "chewing her way through her cell and trying to emerge into the world during the removal process". So cool to see her "born"
You are doing fantastic work! great job!
It is pure magic to see your way with bees.
That sweet voice makes you Queen of the Bees
You know, I can't bring myself to sing 'bringing home my baby bumblebee' to my class anymore, since I hardly ever see them. You are doing good work, thank you.
When I watch these videos it reminds me of my father when I was growing up. God rest his soul. We had 1 hive that always ran amok and swarmed in the pear tree next store. He also did exactly what your doing.
Do you get to eat some honey once they settle? Do you have a lot of hives or sell them. I am a 71 year old lady living down under and love watching you and the care you take to restore the bees to safety.
Great video. I am with all your other fans. You rock. Thank you for saving such an important piece of the eco system. Continued success and thanks for sharing. Love PegEgg
You are amazing. Thank you
honestly just almost had a panic attack and i came to watch one of these and calmed completely down, this has become my safe place
i like that you take care and it shows the bees respect you too ☺
you are a saint with bee's.. thank you for your hard work with them..
Beeutiful! Your appearance on JRE is one of my favorites
Aloha🤙🏽
I'm so relieved to see the Bees 🐝 Yes!!!
I just love your videos and the way you work, it is so different and delicate and caring and truly shows you are passionate about this and do respect the bees. I’ve tried watching other “similar” videos and - nothing against anyone else who does this, as you say there are many ways and not one single method to learn - but it feels very different watching someone show up with a bunch of loud tools and just vacuum up all the bees while you so thoughtfully and carefully scoop them with your bare hands taking all the time you need. It feels very much like watching someone do just a job that could be any job vs these nice gentle relaxing videos with the respect, love and care you show.
❤
U are my #1 BEEZZZZ RESCUER. I've seen others MEN and they are so harsh in removing the COLONY. I WAS APPOLED! THEY WERE DOING FOR VIEWS.
IT TAKES A WOMAN TO HANDLE SUCH DELICATE BEEZZZZ. I ONLY WATCH U THANK U FOR HELPING OUR PLANET. 😘 WEST PALM FL 🇺🇸
God bless male bees 🐝 and female bees 🐝 forever ♥
I find the way you do this and the respect that you show for these bees to be extraordinary. I am moved by how gently you do what you do. Bless you for that and thank you.
If I remember correctly the baby bees are actually nurse bees that tend the brood and queen. As they mature they become workers that forage and gather resources. At the end of their lives they become guards to protect the hive entrance. The drones are the only males and are mere breeder stock - they have the easy life until such time as they are not needed. They are subsequently abandoned to the entrance once resources become scarce or die after mating.
