- Trapping honeybees that had nested in a chimney. Really cool video of a simple trap to get bees to come out of a wall. Saved the bees and moved them to a safe place where they won't bother anyone.
To do a complete trap out, the nuc needs to be left there for several days or even a week after bees cease to exit via the cone. The cone can then be removed and the bees in the nuc can 'rob' their old home. Thanks for posting, I enjoyed watching it and good to see someone else's approach.
And you DONT hurt one bee.. You are verry clever :)
Great to see people attempting to remove bee hives alive. I know it's not always possible, but important to try especially with the declining bee populations in the world.
I don't know how the hell I got here, but thanks for sharing this amazing video
Thank you for this! I was thinking of doing something similar, as the house to be renovated has a 30 year old hive between the double-bricks. There's probably 4 hives worth of bees, at least. I was told they were in the wall, but I can feel them with my toes under the basement landing, so it might be possible, after establishing a catch route to the new boxes, to pump some smoke into the floor and wall, driving all the bees AND the queen into the new hives. Conveniently, there is a ledge right around the corner from the hive's opening, and these are the gentlest bees -- I thought the hive was higher, popped my head around the corner & ended up barefaced nose to nose with a lower entrance. No stings, no aggression. I'm thinking if I can get them into the hives, and establish that they have the queen out or give them one, we could set the hives on a tree-stand just 10 feet away. Then we could ensure the hive wall was smoked empty & access the hive through the wooden basement-steps' landing, possibly salvaging honeycomb & brood for them. What do you think?
This is an awesome video. Even though I don't have any bee pest problem, I really enjoy this insightful and clear video. Spectacular job.
Trying to get bees out of our chimney now. Thank you!
If you have a frame of standing eggs and brood, slip that in the same day you place the box, the wax alone won't do much to entice them, but with brood it only takes a few hours and the nursing instinct tells them all to go in an take care of the brood, you'll see a queen cell started after 2 or 3 days. Shake all of the bees off from the colony you stole them from though. I found it also helps to place the entrance to the new box as close as possible to the original entrance. 2-3 inches at most.
thank you for posting enchplant. I was interested to see what you did. However, I have now found a beekeeper and hope he comes tomorrow. They are getting in my house - had to capture and put out about 200 today!
You know, I never did get the queen from this colony. They died out over the winter and the homeowners painted and sealed up the chimney. If I were to do this again I now know to put a frame of open brood in the nuc box and the queen will come out and investigate.
I have this problem now. No beekeeper wants to do anything. 2 questions. If you use smoke would the Queen come out? And can you vacuum the bees without hurting them?
I would never suspect so much bees to be in there, huge colony O.O
Thanks for uploading this. Very informative. You are one brave man. i did not see you using gloves or smoke.
Awesome video. Last week i took two colonies from some mound (where the termites live) This week i had another ion a fallen tree
Sometimes its difficult because they built a colony in very difficult areas like inside chimneys and the only solution would be break it
Good video.... I presently have several trap-outs in place and hope to have as much luck as you.
Wonderful sir
This solves one part of problem for the home owner. Yes, you have removed the bees, but their food supply is still there and leaving it will only attract less desirable pests like mice, roaches, and beetles. I've lost a hive due to small hive beetles and if there are any in that wall, they are going to end up with one stinky, rancid mess.
1. Get a queen bee with some drones.
2. Get her to breed in a small nuc box
3. Wrap up nuc box wit paper box, seal it and put some holes on the side.
4. Send it to WBC.
5. ???
6. Profit
good video n very informational.
How can I attract the bees to a brand new box with no honey in it? My bees are under the roof and into the dwelling of the second floor. I want to transport them at first without opening the roof...
Well, it's ok when it works. But bees are very persistent about finding another way in, as I've learned over several years of doing this job. Some oil of lemongrass in the new home is a big help.
Very cool
haha great job with all your fun ideas!!! fun to watch.
Orinda huh? I have an aunt who lives in Orinda. Beautiful small town
We had a huge swarm too a few yrs back.Everone says call a bee keeper and they'll come get them.Well they don't and didn't for me.They said to just leave them alone,as they were on the move,and just resting for the night and they would b gone the next day.Well they were gone by the next evening.So leave them be and alone.They'll move on.
Queen: .... where did everyone go? D:
Good video but as you can see, the bees were trying to go back into their original home. You had the nuc box too far away from the original hive. The nuc box needs to be located 'walking distance' from their original entrance. Bees exit via the cone, go the field, return with nectar and honey and will enter the nuc box rather than going into their original entrance when it's in very close proximity.
Ohhh...good to know! Our resident hive entrance is in one side of an outside corner. There is a ledge around the corner we coukd build a stand up next to it for the new hive to stay a while
If I were you I would go on craigslist for your areea and do a search for swarm removal. In our area there are lots of people who do that sort of thing. Also search for websites for your local beekeeping club they probably have a list of people who do extractions from buildings.
This was awesome man! This was awesome tho ya know my bro!
So now that the bees are gone, what about the five pounds of honey still in the wall or chimney? Without protection there is going to be a lot of interest from other critters and varmints.
there's a new bee hive here in my house maybey from 5 days ago...the population is increasing and most of them goes inside the house....the reason maybe why there here is that my father's garden starts to gloom of flowers and it's summer here now...
although they didn't survive the methods you used we're fascinating, i hope you'll get better luck next time
if they are honey bees, just call a local beekeeper he will be happy to capture them for you most of the time he won't even charge because you're adding to his business.
Ok great video! What about the melting hive still in the wall attracting other colony's? Who removes that? Homeowner?
I have a similar situation and the bee keeper who is coming will have to go through a cut out in the ceiling of my laundry room in order to remove the honey and the comb. Otherwise it will attract cockroaches and mice. It is not going to be cheap either and he will take the bees and supposedly the honey will not be edible Because of probable critter infestation. ☹️
Nice Work. Any suggestions about Bumble bee's. Typically, I leave them alone like Honey's, however some like these are a little too close to home ( or in home) Hives are small and typically none problematic. Ideas? Regards. Al
I live in an old log home with bricks on the outside. The former owner said he had so many honey bees in the walls that the honey was oozing down the living room wall. Well, we have those bees, but there is no honey. I've called several bee people and they don't want to extrude the bees. What am I to do? I'm not a professional bee person. They are making a lot of noise outside and are somehow getting into the house.
Poof a couple of applications of sevin dust or droin dust in their entrance way,seal up any cracks.the odor lingering from the poision from sevin dust in a wall void will take them out.,sevin dust poofed in a wall void the strong odor will last for months.
Wow, I'm suspecting I could have some bees, or hornets, inside a wall cavity of my home. I sure hope it's not this big!
wow that was a wonderful success! I wish I could have found someone like you to remove my bees - just today I hired a man who pretty much killed the whole hive! (after I told him very clearly to not kill the bees) I am very very sad!
Hmmm....Maybe sue him for the cost to replace the hive you intended to maintain as polinators for your garden and honey? Someone has to make him aware it's NOT ok to just go kill anyway. Strawberries deform when not fully polinated.
Yip great pack of bees indeed! Problem is with the comb and honey stay behind! I am with J&B with this trap out! You could have done it differently!!!
Lourens Klopper how?
Imagine dropping the camera into the bee pile.
Great vid how long did the trap out take?
Were you successful in establishing a new colony?
Also, are those Italian?
Without catching the queen you have not removed the problem…..you reduced the bees there for sure….but the queen will always have the ability to revive the colony…..you must leave the trap-out in place until she comes out….usually a long period….but eventually she will be persuaded to come to the new box….take away the frames of bees….put empty frames back in box….stay the course….checking for the queen on each frame….
Are you by any chance from Ireland, Enchplant? I'm in Ireland myself, and I could have sworn I heard some trace of an Irish accent off you!
How to remove bees from electric pole, I tried chasing them out with smoke but it didn't come, and if I use your trap technique how long will it take time to come out the bees?
Bees are money! dont hurt them, and dont put fire to get them away! use this! good! capture them all! then you have honey! and you have money! Good Idea!
also you have fruits
Did you use a cone exit or was your tube so that the bees could come back and forth from the colony?
Got some bees going in/out at the bottom of my 2nd floor porch, I don't see the hive. I think first I saw bees were a month ago. How do I know if they got hive or honeycomb inside?
even if he didnt get the queen the bees that have been removed could be added to other colonies which would be damage control and allot better than killing them.
How do bee's go out from hive into nature
Grandma needs help with bees in Arizona I called bee company they came out twice in two weeks bees still there. can't keep doing this. bought six cans of spray bees still there.
letsthinkitover1 might be the queen bee you HAVE too get rid of that bitch honestly I don't think bees are evil I just think they should better secure homes and hire more experienced bee removal people
What happened to the rest of the bees in the chimney?
What about a bee queen?
Looks good what about the hive in the wall? Its going to attract more to that chimney so the customers is going another colony move in?
How can you keep bees away from a removal location ?
Poof some Sevin dust in the place where they was removed,
There's a bee hive forming in a old couch by my house. I can't move it cus they gonna attack me lol.what should I do???
sendr 1017 wait till night,poof a couple of cans sevin dust all over it.,let them track it,you shall see proven results shortly,better yet a empty squeeze bottle would work.
DID U GET THE QUEEN?
thanks.. i discovered bee hive in attic of my house... want to move them not kill them and am looking for company to do that... everyone wants to kill them... i will keep looking... thanks for the video ... i brake for bees
post an ad on craigslist. "free bees". beekeepers will hopefully contact you
If the Queen is, as you said "most likely still in the chimney", please explain how this resolves the problem. A new bee colony will just develop and the homeowners are paying you for yet another service call. Good for you, Bad for them.
You would leave the box there for 6 month and the queen will eventually move into the box providing the connection tube is more than 50 cm long. The queen will move into the box once the pollen is stored inside the box by the worker bees. When she starts laying you can move the box. But bees don't read books so there is no guaranty for it to always go your way.
Sevin or droin dust, problem solved
No fucks were given that day.
The bees are not removed from the wall.
The queen is still in the wall and will continue to lay eggs which of course turn into more bees.
The problem is still there.
If the customer had to pay for this service then the customer got ripped off for an job not done correctly.
If the queen would had came out, this job would not had been done correctly either.
The honey and comb left behind, would had created even more problem. It would had invited roaches, ants, wax-moth and many other critters thrive for years and would had called for an exterminator to come over and over again to get rid of those critters.
Better get an expert to do the job right.
not only that but all kinds of pests like cockroaches, carpenter ants, wax moths. it will ferment, stink etc.
A queen left alone will die. she needs workers. a new colony would kill her.
Right but you can treat the nest late in the winter when the bees done consumed most of the honey. early spring with some sevin or droin dust,seal the entrance.if no other options are available.
two words BEE GONE, u be a lot better off,homeowners may be pissed bout the smell though lol
J&B. You have no idea what you're writing about. This is the best way to get rid of bees. Forgers will not come back with new honey. At the end, the queen will leave the nest or die of hunger. With no more honey there will be no more eggs and no new bees.
how did you not get stinged?
I have a problem just like that right now in my house i done know what to do ho to call
Bella Pink treat the nest with some sevin dust.i took a squeeze bottle,filled it up,took them out no problem.
Does a nucleus box work for bumble bees?
No, won't work in this situation either.
I already flip out when 1 bee comes at me :|
sir how gain mony in the bees
not if they have made residence in a cavity
not everyone has been comb. Im dealing with this now.
6socio 6path6 sevin dust or droin dust
...WITH FIRE!
burn the house down?
i want do that
I am sure you can still buy handbook with all info you need on woodprix. Just google it.
HOW TO GET BEES OUT OF THE WALL, TELL THEM TO BUZZ OFF OR BEE OF WITH YA! HA! HA! HA! HA! ( SORRY!)
no help
well i,m in trouble i don,t no how to spell so i kill bees with hornets and make sure they die get to the point i,m a youtuber and i kill bugs for fun and it is basic to by a pet bug that is strong do not get honey to get bees out a wall
How did you get the queen out to prevent her simply producing more bees?
Exactly my question. This doesn't resolve the issue. It only guarantees the homeowner will be making another service call about a new colony.
Kim Johnson right I agree the queen constantly continues to lay eggs that's what I have heard so I feel like they either have to kill the queen or get her out
Exactly..I'll poof a couple applications of Sevin dust over layied with borlic acid,when the queen starts to lay eggs,they hatch,same problem but as they travel threw the sevin dust..they bring it back to the nest,track it,spread it threw out the nest,so the queen will get a share of the poisoning,the whole colony will be destroyed from their share of the strong odor, poisoning of sevin dust.. proven results.. 4 bees colony,in wall void.4 separate treatments a week apart..yes it did destroy the queen,the whole colony..
Kylah Flowers sevin dust or droin dust will solve that problem..sevin dust,it's very powerful,the same problem will repeated itself until the cycle is broken..to get the queen..poofed a couple of applications of sevin dust in their entrance way.the sevin dust ,it is very strong,poisoning.
