That’s cool that you use a frame to help get the bees off of the branch. I usually just shake the branch and drop them into the nuc box or scoop them up. Great way to get them in tight spots.
Beautiful! I’m so amazed by your skills with the girls! Thank you for taking us along! I’ve always been terrified of any type of bee until I started watching your videos. Now when we’re changing the hummingbird feeders and there are bee’s around, it makes me happy and I don’t worry about them stinging me! If I was younger, I’d seriously think about becoming a beekeeper! It’s just so beautiful! ❤❤❤
Good morning my dear honeystead I am following you for years, since my oldest daughter recommend this videos. I love working with what our Mother Nature gifts of herbs plants that are amazing. I really admired the loved you showed every time I see a video of your amazing bees. My daughter just gave me for my birthday beautiful cup for tea with bees flowers I am in love. I learn so much new information of other plants that you keep your Name on top of my Notebook. Thank you your mother and grandmother. My ancestors left so much knowledge. Thank God for my genes. I will keep watching you. Wow how you manager to transfer thus beautiful jewels of nature. Keep those vudeis coming 🎉🎉❤
It's been noticed for a long time that year after year, different swarms will often go to the same tree, sometimes the exact same branch. It's a thought to put swarm traps anywhere you've ever collected a swarm. Faster and easier to untie a bucket trap than collect a naked swarm, and you don't have to depend on someone else just happening to see a swarm in a tree and call you right when you have time to get them.....
Good job! I had a swarm around the same time but on the 14 th move into a double deep beside my equipment trailer. It's so exciting watching them move into a hive box. . Good luck this year and I'll be watching for more.
I had absolutely no idea what I was doing last night(outside of research). But we got the first one last night! Saved from being sprayed and they seem pretty chill this morning 🎉
i LOVE swarms, they are one of the best ways to get new comb drawn. i'll usually give my swarms 2 or 3 frames of drawn comb to start, and they'll usually fill out the other 17 frames in a month or so.
Well done amazing job , its probably only the scouts that get left behind as they venture out looking for the new home and then come back and the family swarm has disappeared so they pack the bags like stroppy teenagers and head home for tea 😀
Nice catch! I had a colony swarm on Saturday and was able to catch it for a friend who is trying to build up her apiary. Swarm season always gets the adrenaline pumping!
I grew up on a farm in the Midwest and now I'm a math teacher in Hawaii. While at school, I saw the custodians trying to deal with a swarm using water hoses and wasp spray. I intervened, asking them to wait. Instead, I used my Leatherman to carefully cut the branch the swarm was on and transported it to the nearby woods. Miraculously, I didn't get stung once.
Hi. I am UK beekeeper and enjoy your videos so thanks for taking the time to record them. I noticed the bag that you put the nuc into. I haven’t seen anything like that over here. Is it especially for that purpose or is it something you have adapted. Thanks Phil
I'm not sure but don't the bees that end up separated from the swarm, like this, usually return to their original colony? Kind of like "Where'd everybody go?!? Oh well, time to head back home I guess." sorta thing.
Where can I start with bee keeping? How do I start? Are there classes? I don’t know where to begin. I’ve been reading a lot, but not sure if I just go for it or if there are places that teach. Thanks❤
Those bees that didn't make it into the colony will go back to the mother hive won't they? (You just said that in the video) I'm thinking that has to be true. Without a queen they'll go back.
Bees are so cool. but you don't know how cool until you've kept bees.
I really enjoy your channel.
This was beyond epic to watch!! LOVE that swarm sound!! Good job!!👍🏼 very enjoyable video! Very!!👍🏼
You are amazing . Beautiful and just no words to describe . God please bless you and your family.

Thank you for taking us along ahead of the storm….what a great sight and amazing sound too!

Hi Thanks for sharing your videos/ i love it, i am new beekeeper and learning from your videos ...
You said “I wish you guys could smell this.” I love how a swarm smells! Little things like that I wish I could share with the rest of the world.
What does it smell like?

It's does my heart good to see your dedication to these marvelous creatures. What a joy

A beekeeper in her happy place, and they was nice and close to the ground even. Grats on your🥰New🐝Feelings.😁Blessed Days
Yep that time of the year again . Mrs. Honeystead just about living in her beekeeping outfit drag racing for the swarms 😅😅
I had absolutely no idea what I was doing last night(outside of research). But we got the first one last night! Saved from being sprayed and they seem pretty chill this morning 🎉
That's awesome!!!! Way to go!
I pull into my Moms Sunday, heard a swarm leaving one of my colonies. Feelings that day flew away. .

I like how you used the frame to scoop them up. 😊 Thanks for sharing 👍
This soo cool
..thanks for sharing
very cool! and educational. please take us along on another if you have opportunity and of course let us know how the hive does.
So fun! Nothing beats catching a swarm!
Agreed 🙌
I seen on the weather that storms were in Virginia yesterday and I thought of you🥰 glad you were able to get the job done
Nothing like starting the day with a swarm catching video. Can’t wait to see more bee videos 🐝🐝
I know!! It's my favorite season 💛
How long to the pheromone's stay in the tree>
Love that mountain road
I used the frame method to catch my last three swarms
I grew up on a farm in the Midwest and now I'm a math teacher in Hawaii. While at school, I saw the custodians trying to deal with a swarm using water hoses and wasp spray.

you are so capable and knowledgeable, its very impressive. awesome video ❤
Spectacular work ! 🎉❤
Loved it ! You rock ! Happy that this swarm had a new home. Well done !
Great job!! Thanks for sharing!!!
Thank you for taking care of me 🐝
Very informative!❤
There is nothing like the feeling of catching a swarm
What’s that net bag I could use that
Sis....what are you doing ? Trying to get those swarms in a dress. 😂 you are courageous sister 👍
look at you out there catching swarms !! way to make use of nature for sure.
👍👍

Seems like the bees always like to swarm before a rain storm.
Great catch! Who makes that plastic nuc that you used? Looks like his quality.
Thanks for sharing, what Nuc is that?
looking forward to the follow up
Of course 💛
About all the time any bees that do not get to go on a ride WILL go back to the mother hive .
I have seen as many as 9 queens in one swarm.
I'm not sure but don't the bees that end up separated from the swarm, like this, usually return to their original colony? Kind of like "Where'd everybody go?!? Oh well, time to head back home I guess." sorta thing.
❤
What do you recommend for a family with 1 income to get started with beekeeping? The cheapest route as possible. But good for the bees.
😮🎉
Which boxes did you use to catch the swarm?
These are from Pro Nucs :)
Did you find that they need to be painted to be darker? Some reviews say that the boxes are letting light in? What do you think?
Where can I start with bee keeping? How do I start? Are there classes? I don’t know where to begin. I’ve been reading a lot, but not sure if I just go for it or if there are places that teach. Thanks❤
I do host a workshop in October through the Homesteader's of America Conference 🐝
Those bees that didn't make it into the colony will go back to the mother hive won't they? (You just said that in the video) I'm thinking that has to be true. Without a queen they'll go back.
I believe they do!
It will not let me hit the thumbs up, it says resource has been exhausted, 😮

Not to be rude but … thank god for a brisk breeze…
