- Just when you thought you had seen it all-This happened
Welcome back and thanks for checking out another video from Yappybeeman.
I happy to share another great day with you as I remove honeybees from a home in Gadsden Alabama.
This colony of bees hadn't been there long. And with the main nectar flow about done, they didn't have much resources to put up in reserve. Although having to be removed from their new home, they were very gentile and tolerant of the process.
Everything went great. I saw the queen multiple times but never had a chance to grab her. After removing all the comb, I expected her to be up in the front corner with her bees protecting her. But in the end, I never saw her again. I assumed I had vacuumed her but I always look around the area to see if I missed her. This proved to be useful because I found her walking around at the bottom of the ladder. As I reached to pick her up,she took flight and I was able to see her fly back up near the hive entrance. As you see in the video, I quickly jumped up the ladder and caught her.
We place queens in holder cages so they don't get injured during transport when available and release them a few days after they have had time to setup in their new home.
I really hope you enjoyed the video and please consider hitting that "liked" button and subscribing for more of my bee removal experiences.
The rehome process consists of collecting the bees into a catch box that does not harm them, removing the comb they use to reproduce bees as well as store food. If the comb can be reused, it is placed in wooden frames and placed in a beehive. If not, they are given resources to rebuild in an apiary ( bee yard) out in the country away from future harm.
I was excited to have been able to catch and show the queen bee in this episode. Queen bees are a bit bigger and longer in body, as well as a little different in color. Without a queen, the hive can not reproduce and will surely die.
Yappy Beeman is a professional bee remover performing live honey bee removals in Alabama as "Alabama Bee Rescue" and relocates them to apiaries away from residential areas so they can rebuild and thrive as a honey bee colony producing honey. Yappy is an Alabama Beekeepers association member that has performed over 1000 live bee removals. Yappy with the help of his great friend and mentor; Jpthebeeman, a professional beekeeper , has learned many skills to remove bee swarms and honey bee colonies safely for the bees and homeowners alike.

That fresh white comb is stunning! What a happy docile little group of bees.
i know right? just amazing they can build that amazing structure that looks like a factory pumped it out that beautiful.
Ya it's amazing how they design it. Very cool 👍
It almost looks fake it’s so clean. I didn’t know that they were made that white

You'd think they'd be more pissed off when some dude just breaks a piece of their home off with his bare hands
This guy has very cool energy. Love how he clearly loves what he does!
I do. I really can't explain it but there is an odd addiction when you get into it.
It’s crazy how good you are at spotting the queen out of all those bees!
After seeing thousands of them, the just stand out to me. And lots of luck helps too.
I think it’s so cute when he addresses the bees as “girls” or “ladies”
What a gentleman 🤣🥰
"Hey, fat girl! Back that thing up!"
@@alexanderzerka8477 😂😂
How you treat the bees so respectfully calling them little ladies.....It's so funny and yet awesome at the same time. True southern hospitality indeed!!
Love the videos, I like how you explain what’s going on and try to be respectful to the bees as much as possible.
Thank you. Just adding my own spin in a crazy world. But I'm having fun.
How do they get the white comb I there in the first place
Well bees are good….wasps are douches
@@karlabateman234 Bees are able to produce wax from the sugars they consume. So the white comb gets in there from the bees bringing it in as a liquid and building it up one bee at a time
I love how gentle and respectful you are towards the bees, Yappy. You move with great deliberation and care when you’re handling them. They aren’t just bugs to you, and it shows!
Yup
I've learned more about bees from a few of your videos than I have living my entire 65 years.🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝😺
I think there are probably lots of good reasons for a bee keeper to rescue a swarm. One, is that they have a much better chance of surviving. You can check them, make sure that they are healthy, if they happen to lose a queen for some reason, or if they have a bad queen, you can re queen them. If they don't have enough food or pollen you can feed them some, especially throughout the winter. You can make sure they don't get mites or other things like that. You can make sure they are warm enough if the winter is colder than normal, and if they aren't thriving enough to make it through the winter, you can combine them with another hive, to give them a better chance. They just have a much better chance at surviving if they go to a good beekeeper, and they won't get poisoned by ignorant people who just want them out of their house, or other areas on their property. Plus, if everyone 'just let bees be' and didn't get involved in raising them, then no one would have any honey, or beeswax, which doesn't hurt the bees in any way when people harvest it, because they know to leave the bees enough for themselves. So I wouldn't worry about those people who think you should just leave them alone. The rest of us know you are doing a good thing.
Thank you for explaining why bees are trying to get into people's houses and succeeding. Twice, my mom had bees enter different parts of her house. We have had some swarms in my neighborhood, too. One landed in a tree between me and my neighbor's house. She called the Bee people and they came and collected the swarm. Turns out they have a great business, they collect free livestock and then they rent them out to farmers. Plus they can sell the honey and the wax. Pretty interesting business model! Bees are so cool! And we need them!
Try putting pickle juice up there, the smell of sour vinegar might deter their move ins
That White wax is the type you like to get for church candles - especially for the Easter Candle. Such beautiful wax!
Thanks to all the beekeepers, firemen and paramedics out there for the jobs you do. Happy Father's day.
Thank you Carl. I wish you a great day as well.
The bee cones were so perfectly formed and clean white, that they seemed to be man-made. You have a great ability in spotting the Queen and such a way with the bees that they don't get upset at all when you start removing them.
bees are fascinating, they can make pure waxy building materials and synthesize pure sugar with their stomach enzymes
Awesome how you can tell a queen from all of those bees!
Size and color. But after seeing thousands of them it becomes second nature to spot them.
I know, right! I wouldn't be able to tell the difference at all, they all look the same to me. 🤦🏿
@@CarmenBIGPRESSURECaBoom seeing them up close makes it obvious which one the queen is but I have no idea how they can tell the bees apart from a distance
How does he not get stung by the 🐝
@@yvonnek.831 they don't sting unless they're threatened because bees know that they'll die if they sting
If there is a bee in the same city, I get stung. Yet, you can take apart their comb and nothing? Dang!
"she's got a deep voice"!😆🤣 Really love watching your videos.
Made me laugh!
I love watching your work! You are showing us the amazing world of bees in such a cool manner!!!
Thank you. It's a pleasure.
i love how he speaks to the bees. lovely ladies
Wonderful to see this. Good Queen catch - that was a near miss! Congrats on a swarm capture and removal that had no stings. You are a good man sir - being gentle with the bees like that. Thank you.
Nice bees are friends and good for nature
My favorite thing about your videos is your narration and your observations of the bees and what they're up to, what they're focused on. You really make sense of the world of bees, and you do it joyfully! What a gift!! Thanks again Yappy Beeman!!
Thank you for the comment and appreciation. It's a pleasure to share the experiences about bees and what they teach me.
Me and dad got stung at least once every time we opened one of our hives, but you do this with no protective gear and never seem to get attacked. Never ceases to amaze me no matter how many of your videos I watch.
I love that you talked to the bees and ask politely for the girls' combs. It adds a fun commentary. Love you and your content man!
Yappy has the perfect voice for this. Calm and very educational, i learn alot from this guy. I really recommend this channel to new followers. I always tune in, when Yappy relases new contents.👌😀
You conquered again . My husband and I love you videos. Tysm you teach us well, blessings
Hahahaha my cousin scooped some bees like what you do and he got stung once...his lips is swollen but he's just laughing like nothing happened
That's like winning a boxing match with only one minor scar, that will soon be gone, with the glory of the win to stay for ever.
Hey Yappy, you spoiling us now?
Not sure about that. Just finally found a few mins to get one out. Hope you enjoyed it.
@@YappyBeeman I always do.
AMAZING, 84 year old female and this is so fascinating to me!!!!!! Incredible job you have, thank youso much for your videos....
That is just amazing how precise that white comb you took out is. Always so neat to see "perfection" in nature. Amazing.
I totally Luv your voice telling me about the Bee's!!
🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝
I love the way you talk to the bees, like you're old friends. Fav new channel, thank you
What a rewarding love of labor. GO Bee's. Great education for all
So calm & collected - nice to bees & humans alike - Skilled.
Absolutely love your videos!! So enjoyable to watch and I love the passion you have for the bees and the concern for them!!
Great video I love how you treat every bee with great respect and gentleness so none get smashed.
Great to see! Thanks Yappy!
Thanks for stopping by my friend.
Love this channel. I show these to my kids. Very educational.
I'm diggin how the algorithm is bringing people to your channel to learn about beautiful bees ! 🐝 I love how much you love your job.
Thanks Yappy!! I removed 3 from a old house last week that's being demolished tomorrow. Always fun!
Congrats. I know that was a job!!!
@@fyrcog I wouldn't trade the experiences for anything. They are different every time!
Just love the way you talk to them it’s like every bee 🐝 hives are your little baby’s 😁
You're such a good guy, and very polite to your bees.
You're an amazing person. Saving one of the most important and incredible creatures on this planet. Thank you! 🙏❤
Look after our little busy body friends. ❤️🥰👍
Seeing him pick up that round honeycomb...looks like a cursed uncrustables
This is so astounding, I don't remember subbing to you but that white comb is so beautiful I know I made the right decision.
I JUST FOUND YOU.. I AM ENJOYING YOUR VIDEOS VERY MUCH.. I LOVE HOW YOU DO YOUR JOB AND YOUR ATTITUDE TOWARDS THE BEES.... TURTLEGRANNY NC
You mentioned about a hollow area. While I lived out in eastern New Mexico, we rented from a friend from church. The back yard had a tree that looked like it had trunks for branches! And there were about 5 of these “branches”. We found out that 1 whole trunk was slap full of honey!!!
What a marvelous thing you are doing to save bees! Without them we’d never have food and fruits we eat! I don’t see too many here in Albuquerque, NM. Except in spring when Russian sage is in bloom. I love them!
Hello 👋 lady
How are you doing today
I was watching one of your videos when I got notification of a new video 😁 Thanks for the GREAT content!! 👍
That's funny. Glad to add an extra moment of my craziness to your day.
Your vids are just getting better and better. Great entertainment of the fabilous nature. The passion you got for bees is amazing, and the way you handle them.
Thank you for the compliment. It's much appreciated.
I love the way you treat the bees so gentle I love it your awesome
Happy Father's Day
Thank you. I'm here with my oldest as we speak enjoying every minute of it.
I've overcome my fear of bees thank's to you, thank you so much.
Just don't lose respect though......not all bees are this nice. But all bees are nice to have around.
I love the way you talk to the bees.
Just like everywhere else on our planet, we've "paved paradise and put up a parking lot." Our wildlife no longer have their homes. We just keep tearing apart every original piece of our planet, and these poor beings have nowhere to go, and get killed for it. It's horrible!! I loathe ppl who don't realize that we cannot live without bees, trees, and so much more of our ecosystem. These animals pay the ultimate price for our greed, and our ridiculous wants and "needs."
Wishing you tons of positive energy and safety, and a HUGE THANK YOU for caring abt them the way you do.

Been watching for awhile when you were with JP! You two working together made my day. Great work Yappy!
Thanks Jim. He and I will have some more in the future now that life's back to normal.
Nice catch!
Thank you. It was fun.
Sooo glad I found this channel! Your very informative & that you enjoy what you do is obvious. Thank you
I find your work very interesting!
Thank you. It's fun.
"back that thang up" lol. queen bee up in the club
Just crazy stuff amazing how you can do that. 👍
Florence, AL native here. Love your videos!
Been up that way many times to remove bees. Nice area up there.
Wow. That comb looks so refined! I'm in awe
I certainly enjoyed this video.
Amazing, two days ago i know nothing about bee's what you do really impresses me.
I adore u for caring for bees 🐝 💓
Sometimes I wish they understood the intentions....lol
I think what you do is pretty amazing, and all with a positive, cheerful attitude. It doesn't look like you get stung very often and I had no idea you could scoop them up like that!
That was a nice clean cut out you did 👍and some chill bees
Good cutout, not near as hard as some I’ve seen you do! Happy Pappy’s Day, Yappy…..
Thanks Don. I ha e one this week that won't be much fun. Hopefully I can get so.e good video of it.
@@YappyBeeman
I'll be looking for it!
I have just "discovered" your channel & am amazed at the gentle way you deal with bees! Originally from Ireland where we knew more than one beekeeper, we later bought another home in S. California & we lived in Alabama for a year where my husband took a team of engineers to one of your aerospace sites. Sadly, we didn't meet anyone in that whole time who was friendly, never mind as friendly as you are with your bees.... Keep up the excellent work! The bees of the world need more gentle beekeepers like yourself - Subscribed :-)!
I'm sorry you had that experience with the people in Alabama. You ever make it back look me up. I will treat you like a bee...wink wink.
I love how sweet he is. "Come on girls. get off of that."
U know your bees. I like when u talk to them
Awesome… thanks for sharing… i love the way you take us with you and explain everything so thoroughly. You are so relaxed around bees that one almost forgets that they more than capable of inflicting serious harm, and that’s great… bees are really quite amazing 👍😃
it's so interesting to see how beekeepers vary in their queen cage preferences
Very interesting!!! Enjoyed the video!!!! Thank you
Yappy, you are the Steve Erwin of Bees. "Isn't she a Bute"! "Wait for It".
its cool how chill they are.
Omg I'm addicted to this guy's channel. 👍💥
This is fascinating! Haha this man cracks me up, he’s so funny how he talks to and for the bees lol. Awesome video!!!
Just beautiful white comb!!
Great job man! Don't know what's killing the bees in our country,but I do know how important they are to our survival! Have a great day!
I love how much you love the bees! 🐝 🐝 🐝 🐝
I've never seen a colony this chill while you extract them 😁
I'm changing my mind on bees thanks to you!!
Been watching your vids recently, am amazed how confident you are with handling them. Not a bee keeper myself but intrigued how you guys work. Love it 👍🏻🐝
Nice. Job🥀🇫🇮🌿🌞🌸
You are so cool! Calm and collected when you handle yourself around them. Have you been like this since childhood? You seem to be THE bee whisperer.
These bees are so chill the home owners probably didn't care until they moved into the house.
Very nice little colony. I am afraid I am going to crush the queen if I grab her like that. I guess I need to practice with some drones! I've had a queen squeeze out the bottom of those cages with the bottom tab taken out.
A virgin queen might take a swarm off before she is mated, depending on the condition of the mother colony. They bulk up after they start laying. Perhaps you had a virgin queen?
I always appreciate someone who is an expert at their job from raw experience and you can tell hes awesome at his job
Its so hot and humid out. You don't even want to step out of the house HERE ! I went out around 9 am to check the SHB OIL TRAPS oil levels. I was sweating to death ~ they been hanging out of the hives for 2 weeks now ~ The mosquitos will eat you alive here
Love the bee commentary. 👍😄
people don't realize bees can smell fear on you. Yappy's so chill around bees, they don't worry about him. That's the key!
Another great save! ❤️
Lmao! She's got a deep voice. Classic!
Lol....funny you caught that.
I love the humour you add to your videos. Such fun to watch.
Thank you. Just me having fun in my own little way.
Happy Fathers Day from C shift ❤️❤️❤️
So far it has been. Sorry yall had to work on such a beautiful Sunday. Now get back to work ya slackers......
@@YappyBeeman 😂😂😂 10-4
Another beautiful journey
Bees are so fascinating!
Great videos'. My dad used to keep bees in Hampshire, England. Often during the start of summer they would swarm, the hives where in the orchard attached to the house, and you would have to chase them down the road to see where they would end up. Then ring dad so he could come home and collect them and put them in a new hive!
That comb is so perfect
Thanks for saving the bees
