My wife caught me watching your video, she asked me, "Do you wish that you have a good looking girl in your bee yard?" I said yes, So I bought her a bee suit. Now I have a good looking girl in my bee yard.🤭😂. I've always insisted she help me with my bees, but she was reluctant, thanks for encouraging her.
Ohhh my goodness BEST husband award 💛💛💛
I wish I could think that fast.Way to go
@@michaelcouvillon8807 lol
That was a bold thing to say lmao. I know more than enough people that would've told you to go f yourself assuming they mean the person in the video and not the actual partner lol.
So grateful to know that people are keeping some ancient traditions and sciences alive in the 21st century. Love the channel.
Oh wow....that was fascinating. Something I’ve never seen before. Thank you so much for showing what happens.
How fascinating and magical as you said !!!
Blessings +++!!!
Such a joy to be shown this beauty of the Creation !!!
So lucky to catch that and the queens!! Thanks!
well youre the best looking person in a beekeepers hat ive ever seen
I like the wire mesh over your hive entrance! I have never thought of that!!!!!
Your excitement & enthusiasm alone was worth the watch!
How incredible is that!!! Awesome lucky bee catch... Kaylee AKA the swarm whisperer. You are amazing! I was on the seat of my pants and boom an ad....lol....almost jumped out of my chair.
Amazing video, was I the only one imagining (when I heard there were multiple queens) a little queen rock paper scissor action when they reached their new home? lol. May these 2 colonies be a success and grow strong this year.
Hahaha
That was incredible to see!! You did such an amazing job with them. I can’t wait to see how they do from here out! Thank you for sharing this experience
💛💛💛
My name is Ahmed, from Morocco. I am 28 years old. I am looking for a contract in beekeeping with you. Can I contact you?
Hello, do you want a beekeeper to work with you?
It’s time for that song again! 🎶The bees go marching two by two. Hurrah! Hurrah! 🎶That was awesome to watch!
Blessings, Love & Hugs from Vicki in Ft. Worth, Texas 🇺🇸👍❤️🎶🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
It's sort of weird watching the bee videos. I'm a city boy. I have very little reason to watch them. I knew that Bee Keeping was both a hobby and a profession but I knew nothing about it. The behavior of the bees is fascinating. Thanks for exposing me to it.
Good for you! That was incredible.
She is really a bee angel. Very good in identifying queen.
Hi, amazing in all my years beekeeping finding two queens has only happened once for me during a swarm thank you for sharing this amazing experience with us.
I had an experience I wished I had 4 hands for. I was doing an inspection on one of my colonies. Tilted back the top brood box on one that just swarmed and pulled out a queen cell. 2 seconds later the queen emerged in my hand. She came out the back side when it opened when I pulled it out.
Most cool thing I've ever seen/done in beekeeping.
i love to watch the honey bees something very soothing about the noise they make.

Early swarms in UK here. I caught my first swarm in my trap 2 days ago. In March here I add two foundation either side of brood box to let them be occupied, in April- beginning of May I add drawn comb for queen to lay in as she is normally out of room by then. I use the taken frames to feed nucs or make up some nucs, this gets me to honey flow with no swarming.
Anyone feeding pollen patties here can say bye bye to there bees lol, build up fast.
Loved the video, lots of bees 😍
You used your knowledge of bee behavior, saved the swarms. Thanks for sharing, very interesting.
We always love watching bees march in to a box when you catch the queen and put her in a box.
Great eye!!! And such an interesting hunch about two queens. I work for an urban beekeeping company in a major Canadian city and we are a team of 8 - an all women team ranging from age 25 to 40! It's so nice to find YOU here as so many mentors in beekeeping are older men (who are wonderful, too) and feel represented!
I think your Ladies and Queens did not want to go anywhere else, but stay right there with you on the Farm. They waited for you Kaylee...🤗😉😎 You are so cool.
Adult bees , are the bees who fly rapidly . Constantly in the air swarming ( together flying) . Always using the scent to stay in a circle to STAY together .If some separate it's as if their nest has been torn down! Bees who fly have a nest( honeycomb) vacant , but they have 1! ! 3 ✨
Lesson Plan : Gentrification
That is soooo coool !!!! Lucky you to be home and witness everything thank you for amazing video
I know!!!! I was so thankful to be working in the garden!
the first swarm has usually old mated queen .... 2nd, 3rd swarm has always several virgin queens .... if old queen disappears for some reason, 1st swarm also has young queens .... we call it singing swarm .. ..if you are skillfull, you can collect more young queens and use them for making new colonies or change old one ... swarm queens are exellent ..... greetings from Croatia
Who would give this video a thumbs down, if you are watching Bee videos. How could you not think this is cool
💛 I’m sure there will be more 😎
@@TheHoneystead I thought what you did was cool, some people criticize everyone and where's their video. I actually learned something and I got Bees .keep up the good work
Awesome job! That is a first for me. I had never witnessed a preswarm before. What an added bonus getting an extra queen. Well done lady.
Thank you! It was too good to not share!
Awesome job young lady oh, my kind of woman LOL this is the first video I have seen with you but I think I will subscribe🎉💝😊
Caught my first one this season yesterday. I'm in Kentucky. Love catching Swarms.
Thank you so much for sharing ❤️🕊❤️I found 6 Queens in a swarm before ❤️🕊❤️these creatures are Amazing ❤️🕊🕊
Hi Honey. I have watched hundreds of bee video's from several different beekeepers, and this has got to be the best of the best. I don't have any bees, but I loved this video. I wish I could give it some more likes.
I had no idea there was more than one queen in a swarm! So what happens when they find their new place? A queen fight?
Thank you so much for this! I watched it a couple weeks ago and then we had our first swarm two days ago! They were all around the base of a small tree and I got my queen clip and sat on the ground on the shady side til I saw her, and was able to catch her, and then put the clip between some frames in the nuk box and ... hurray! The bees are all settled into their new home. I seriously would not have known what to do if I hadn't seen your video. Thank you! Thank you!
That is a superb video! Thanks so much for sharing it. You did a super job there, and to video it at the same time - it's pure gold.
New subscriber here!!! I caught a big swarm last Wednesday at the county airport. It was cold and the wind was blowing. The bees had already started drawing comb on the sign that they were on. Got it home and it filled up a 9 frame box.
Ohhh how awesome! I bet that was a fun catch!
@@TheHoneystead the video will go up this weekend. It wasn’t my best work. I wasn’t completely prepared to catch a swarm that day, but wasn’t going to possibly miss the swarm.
If you have Facebook... I have group page that I welcome anyone to share their content anytime! Honeystead Hangouts 💛
Neat trick! I'll have to remember that the next time I have a hive try to swarm on me.
I have heard stories about banging pots and pans together to get a swarm to land. My dad, who grew up beekeeping in Nevada, swears by it. I'm skeptical but would love an opportunity to do some science.
Caught my first swarm and found your video while trying to figure out what to do next. I appreciate your passion for beekeeping! Keep the videos coming- Your new TH-cam follower!
Oh my goodness!!! I’m so excited for you! Congratulations 🐝🐝🐝
Multiple queen swarms are always a challenge. I had one with 8 queens last year. Ran me ragged. 😆 Couldn't even think of filming it.
I once had a swarm with 3 queens. It was ridiculous!
Triplets 🐝🐝🐝
Oh how I love the sound! 🐝❤️🙌
I’m so obsessed with your channel right now. ☺️💚🐝🍯🥮
That was awesome! Thankyou for sharing. Paul
That is such a beautiful thing to capture on video!!!! That's amazing hun!!!!
💛💛💛
@@TheHoneystead also Drew posted the update on our first hive yesterday. They made another queen and she is a beautiful busy little lady 🥰🐝🐝😍!!!! We were so scared we would loose it!!!
Ohhh I saw and I am so proud of your girls!!!!
@@TheHoneystead thank you so much!!! We're so happy 😊!!! Thank you for helping us to bring his dream to life!!!
I’ll have to watch this later with the girls, but my goodness that face in your bee gear! PRICELESS!
Love the colored bee suit! Where did you get it? Good job recognizing more than 1 queen.
I have learned so much from watching you! My beekeeping class was all virtual until the end when I finally got to help look at a hive. My bees should be here soon. 🐝😊
Ohhh yay bees!! You’re going to love them!
That was cool. Im a 3rd yr beek in Australia. Ive subscribed to your channel now as I found it fascinating. I watch many beekeeping channels but yours is up there with the best of them. Cheers.🇦🇺🇦🇺🍯🍯🐝🐝
Wanna du hast eine schöne Kostüm! !👍🌹😘
I think, that the queen the bees were gravitating towards was their original mated Queen, while the other queen that you caught may have been a virgin.
That's what I was thinking. The Queen Mother, so to speak, has the pheromones to make her more attractive to the colony. Not only that, but they're also used to her pheromones as well.
Nice timing and great footage :-)
Such a cool video! I have never seen a swarm leaving a hive. Now I know what to look for! Thanks!
I was worried the long clip of them leaving would be boring, but I wanted everyone to see their behavior 💛
It was super helpful to see how it progressed. This is my 4th year beekeeping but there is always something new to learn! I love your channel! 😊
That is what I love about being a keeper 💛 forever a student and always learning!!!
Pretty exciting stuff right there. I caught 2 swarms this week up here in West Virginia. Caught one in my cooler swarm trap and caught the other one at my neighbors house it came out of his building.
I love this video. If I could ever be able to be on site at the right time to do what you did, I would be a happy guy. and to get a second queen - wow! Good job.
Awesome!!!! Thanks for sharing!!!!
Omgosh that was so fun to watch!😍
*This was awesome! Must be a rush :)*
100% 🙌🙌🙌
This reminded me of the book "Where's Wally?"
Great video. Thank you for sharing
You are amazing! Good Job!
Loved this video. If you could maybe mark your video, when editing it with a red circle, where the queen is that would would bee awesome 😜🐝
I need to get better editing software 😜
Give you thumbs up because most dont look for any more then 1 Queen.
And I thought "Where's Waldo" was difficult.
Garden can wait. Way more fun. Should make some great queens for you. Fine job
Awesome video. Thx for sharing.
Awesome video, Carol and I were glued to the screen and Carol saw the Queen before me again.
Whoop whoop Carol has the Queen Eye!!
Love this video... very informational ... what bee suit are you wearing ... love the color?
Awesome job!! I thought I was catching a swarm this morning but NO!!
This swarm season is going to be crazy!
wow thats a strong colony
Notice the Bee- havior 😁
Nice watch! Loved it😍😍
This is the first of your videos I have watched and it is way cool (showing my age). I didn't have queen clips when I had bees.
49 years ago when I was 11 a local beekeeper helped me catch my first swarm. I had several hives until I was 18 and I was planning on making it my career. Unfortunately my body had other plans and I carry an epipen.
Some things have changed but most is still the same.
In the old days in Northern Europe we put a large net over it 3 yards long on 45 degrees on a pole, guaranteed you get the wholesworm
That's genius! I'm going to keep that one in mind!
That was crazy!
This is so cool, love this.
So what is the reason for them to swarm? Is it because they were too big or is it on the Queen just leaving the hive. Getting very interested in this beekeeping
I never realized how interesting each bee has a job to do and how important it is for the beekeepers to stay on top of what is going on
smiles .......absolutely a terrific video .......... what i like also .........is you have an affinity of love for your bees ......... it comes thru very clear . ......... thank you !!
💛💛💛
I was literally screaming “catch her there she is🤣🤣🤣”
Hahahaha
I was literally saying, even when pointed out 'i can't see her at all' 🥴 I was looking for the elongated body but nope could not
Too funny, I was doing the same thing. Makes me feel good I am not really as crazy as the wife thinks me to be.
this was absolutely cool!
I do not like bees but you got me looking for this queen through all that. I feel like where's Waldo. More power to you, I am not that brave. Watching you do this is about as far as I want to get to that many bees. I had a few carpenter bees get into our house and I was like nope. we had to get the country big spray because the city version just made them laugh.
Me and my boyfriend walked out of our house right into a swarm , luckily I noticed befor we got to far out of the house he was so scared we were gonna get attacked, I told him they were definitely swarming to find a new home and sure enough the made a new home in the tree behind our apartment, I think the tree is hollow lol it was so amazing to see there was thousands of bees, it was beautiful, its because of you and you channel I have a new appreciation for the bugs in my garden and around my house, please keep doing what your doing and spreading awareness 🥰🥰❤❤
This makes my heart full!! We have to love our tiny winged heroes 🐝💛🙌
@@TheHoneystead yess I agree lol ❤ Sending love and positive vibes to you and your bee's 😁😁
That was fantastic. ThAnks so much.
Was so fascinating watching you collect those 2 queens and at the same time sharing what you were doing and to stay calm. Could hear the excitement, but you stayed calm. With all those bees, I can't imagine being able to spot a particular 1.
I have a question. With all the other hives that you have, another hive that gets ready to swarm doesn't affect them. Thanks for sharing this and may you and your family have a blessed week.
I was so happy to catch them! the other colonies really don't seem to mind!
So happy I found this channel!!!
Your hunch was spot on!! I had never considered that more than one would leave the hive. So, you taught this old fart something.
Thank you!!!!
Oh ya, gonna hit Subscripe right after I send this.
Brilliant video !
They were all like "Ew! We can't live in a house with a Vertical brick on the roof ! So pase. Let's move out and find a house with a Horizontal brick. Way cooler. C'mon girls."
Found you on The Stivers Homestead Facebook page. Showing some love, new subscriber!! God bless:
💛💛💛💛 ty and welcome!!!
@@TheHoneystead Your welcome!! Love helping each other!!
Neat-O-Kid.....you did good....better than I have ever did....I’m impressed....
💛💛
yeehaw! shoot dang, nice queen bee wranglin' ! Nice job getting that swarm. fun stuff!
I would like to get into bees in the future but holy crap I need to learn a lot. Thanks.
You will forever be learning with beekeeping 💛 the bees will continue to teach you!
The easiest thing you can do is just get bees and go for it! If you wait until you think you know all you need to know, you’ll never get bees! And although reading and watching YT absolutely helps there is nothing like getting bees and just working them! Good luck I hope you get some soon! You’ll never regret it, until you are wondering “so I pay the mortgage, or so I get more bees or equipment!!” JK but sometimes you will wonder where all your money went!
For queen replacements sometimes the bees escort the queen on her maiden flight and it too looks like swarming behavior. They'll return is a bit to the hive.
Wonderful video . I was wondering if all the surplus queens have mated before they swarm like this.
Awesome
So when there's more than one queen, what happens to the other queens? I mean without human intervention.
WOW!
I think it would be so awesome to see this. . Thanks for sharing. .
P.S. Sunday i get my new girls. . Hooray. .
💛💛
lucky!! You got two queens even! This happened to me just two weeks ago. Though catching my swarm was NOWHERE near as easy as what you did here. I even made a video too! Want a good laugh? lol
thanks for sharing! So special! You are really very good at this...What are the small beehives made of? It looks like carton? Is it plastic? Where did you buy these?
💛 they are wax coated cardboard and I use them temporarily for my nucs!
What an awesome video!
I just love our Beekeepers, most do not know they are saving our lives.
gold2black.
Great job
You have outdone yourself, excellent!
Awww shucks 🌽😊
