    Alright, I did not see this one coming, but in the end, it all worked out just fine. It's always a great thing to get free bees from a swarm trap, but to have multiple heart palpitations while retrieving the bees is quite unexpected. I hope you enjoy following along the roller coaster ride these bees gave me. Thanks for watching. See you all in Quincy, Illinois in a few days. God's peace to all.

    Hi Mr. Ed. I'm not a beekeeper but a good neighbor to one, I hope. Call me a beekeeper supporter. I grow as many wildflowers as the town will allow (yes that is sarcasm as they aren't bee and herb friendly...just don't know any better...yet?). I really enjoy your videos and it helps me understand what is going on. I love the part where you find the queen. You sure are brave! Keep 'em coming. ❤

    • @JeffHorchoff

      In my book, it matters not that you keep bees. What is important is because bees are essential to our very survival, we all take steps in making sure they have the means to keep doing what they do. 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.

    It kinda shocked me when that whole blob of bees fell to the ground, and it was the coolest thing ever to watch the bee vac up close, I can't believe how amazing they are!

    Hey Mr. Ed. Nice Video. Really enjoying watching your material. Whenever I catch a swarm, I move them in a Box at least 2 km far away from the point I catched them. Keep going and I wisj xou a lt of honey and wax. Greetings from Germany

    • @JeffHorchoff
      @JeffHorchoff  13 วันที่ผ่านมา

      It's always a good idea to move the swarm a good distance from the place of capture, that way they will not return to it. My rule of thumb is a little less than yours, I move them at least 3 miles from the capture place. I hope you get a lot of honey and wax this year as well. Thanks for watching. God's peace Marcel.

      @JeffHorchoff  11 หลายเดือนก่อน

      I would have to say your method is a very good one, there's no way she's coming out of of the box with that in front of it. I have found it best when dealing with a new swarm, lock the queen up for 3 days and let the workers get things sorted out making things ready for her. Thanks for watching. God's peace.

    Had my mentor and others visit my apiary in the trees yesterday. It was hot and humid, 88 degrees, 88% humidity. We sat under the trees listening to bees. It's 69 degrees @ 4am now and the frogs in the swamp are really croaking quite loudly. It is pretty quiet besides the frogs and I can also hear some Loons from nearby Squam Lake calling their lonesome sounding calls. But down south it's the honey house! About a week ago I caught a swarm in the process of leaving the hive, so I ran out to watch the landing board. In less than a minute the queen came out and I grabbed her! It took awhile but the bees that had been collecting about 70 feet up in a tree took to the air and came back down and landed on a "swarm branch" that I baited with 'Temp Queen'. It was an easy shake to get them into a box then into the nuc where I had placed the queen, so cool. I posted it, th-cam.com/users/shortsMNy2AjCsWrM?feature=share. Always a pleasure Jeff, thanks for sharing, peace.
