Xxflamer firexX they don’t sting the queen bee to kill her. The reason the bees surround the queen and cover her up entirely is to increase the body temperature of the queen bee so it would over heat. This would cause it to die.
DAVID, That was fascinating to see you change the Bee's attitude toward that queen... from wanting to kill her.. to caring for her as their own queen. How crazy is that. Thanks for sharing.
Phil Lully simple science. When bees deem a queen unfit or the queen is no longer able to conceive they will do something called “cuddle death” where they surround the queen bee as seen here until she over heats and dies
Just a little experience I just had (bad), to pass on to your viewers. I bought 4 mated queens ($180). Decided to keep them overnight to make the hives queenless. Put them in a cabinet without doors in my shop. Dark and warm. Early next morning they were dead. The little sugar ants went after the candy plugs and also killed the queen and attendants. Never thought about ants. Expensive lesson.
I had a wild swarm in my yard this summer, and they built a hive (big and getting bigger) under the eaves of my garage. Not sure what to do with it, as winters here are severe and I doubt they'll survive one. But we also have ants, large carpenter ants here, and any drowsy bee that falls off the hive, due to already cool morning temperatures, gets nailed, fast. Awful sight to see a big ant dragging off the bee, still trying its best to escape.
HYPOTHESIS: When the bees are nearby their original queen, the two different pheromones clash and create this rage in them. When she is removed and put in a cage with the same bees, her pheromone dominates and the bees accept her. (Don't know if my theory is correct, but it does fit.) Also, do you remember the Three Stooges episode where the smell of Wild Hyacinth drives Curly nuts? Kinda funny, right?
You had it right the first time but then you switched. A theory is not the same thing as a hypothesis. A theory has evidence to support why it is a fact.
@@Gizmonips Yes but unfortunately Academia has become terribly corrupt. Basically if you get enough "Scienctist" to agree with your idea, then it's theory. Experimental data be damned.
I’m not gonna lie, I found your channel last night through recommendations and I’m not a beekeeper, nor do I know anything about bees, but I actually really like your channel. I find your voice soothing and I like that you treat the bees really gently. Keep up the good work my man :))
I’m not sure why I started watching your videos as bees were never an interesting subject for me. But I’m forever grateful that I did. Your videos convey how important honey bees are to our existence & their intelligence & dedication to work together is something us humans can learn from. Education gives us a whole new perspective & respect for the Queen bee & her workers.TY🙏
Wow. Thanks David. That is really surprising... When you said you were putting those same bees in the cage with the queen I literally said out loud, don't do that, LOL, I was sure they'd kill her.
I always think about what Friar Tuck said in Russel Crowe's Robin Hood movie "I keep bees and they keep me" . It's a good line showing how man and bee can live together in harmony.
Not sure how bees recognize and navigate back to their hive, but since you have so many hives and majority are painted white - maybe paint clusters of hives different colors and/or with different markings on the front for recognition? In nature the hives would be in very distinctive places the bees would probably easily recognize. Love your channel and videos! Thank you for making them!
What a magnificent apiary you have. Your videos have helped me to keep 2 hives, and I am hopeful that my bee yard can grow to be like yours someday. Love from Canada 🇨🇦
Hi, thanks for the video, this season I have lost all my colonies because of some neighbors, they used pesticide on squash cultures...so Heartbreak, I am wondering if there is a way to manipulate bees to not get to flowers I choose ? anyway, I wich you good luck. Mounir from Algeria
Bees are amazing creatures in all the years i have kept them there always fascinating, watching you is always a learning curve i tend to only wear a really cheap vail sometimes just my mosquito net on my head like you sandals shorts t/shirt no gloves i feel it brings me more closer to the bees.
Oh, thank you for this! One of the most amazing things I have seen in my life. It’ even helped me understand something in my life. I deeply appreciate your knowledge. There’s a wisdom in life that transcends above all kinds of life, yet applies equally to them all. Your knowledge is wise.
So happy I found your channel.. I’ve always been fascinated by bees 🐝 and I have insomnia...easy watching very informative I’ve binge watched all your queen videos so neat! I do feel bad for the queen when they are trying to kill her tho poor gal
ME: wth? Why did I get this bee recommendation. I hate bees Also me after watching 1st couple of seconds: watches every other bee video this banyard bees keeper uploaded...... now, wants to be a bee keeper lmao Great videos! Very informative...
Whats wrong with bees in your back yard? If you're scared of bees in your back yard, I feel bad for you. You literally have to try to get a bee pissed off before they would even consider stinging you, unless you where attacking their hive in some way. And if that's the case... stop attacking bee hives... They'll stop stinging you
@@gerble36 if a bee hive comes into my lawn I have a flame thrower and and a concrete fence so it won't get burned. i WONT stop spraying till they have all got burned
Hey David, I have been watching your videos to learn more as a first year bee keeper, I was wondering if you could make a video of you doing a hive inspection on a hive with more than one deep box?
@@Unknownlng I had a hive of bees I needed removed from a low hanging tree branch. I know bee hives are expensive. I was wanting to turn lemons into lemonade.
Robber: Aight let’s see what this dude got *looks around and breaks into house* *him hearing this* Also him*unleashes the bees* The robber is as good as ded :3
Why is it necessary to place worker bees in with a queen? When you pick up a worker by it's wings, can it not twist it's abdomen to sting? It is amazing to watch, but harrowing to do I am sure.

Can you mark the queens with a color and mark the hive/box she belongs to with the same color so if the queen flies to the wrong box you can put her in the right box before they kill her..if you see it first of course... Color coordinate the queens and boxes I guess..just wondering. And how do you not get stung? I have to carry an epi pen because of them little boogers...lol!! It is pretty cool though!
This bee keeper just made history by doing this for the queen, what a great guy protecting her to keep the colony alive, so she can lay some eggs for them
Man I wish I'd seen this video 2 hours ago. Just tried to mark my queen and when I put her back they balled her and were trying to sting her. I tried to reintroduce her after spraying the hive with sugar water. Didn't work. Cage trick might have saved her. I put her in a cage for a few minutes but without attendants. Lesson learned. Always let the paint dry first and use the right kind of paint.
WoW just a simple mater of being caged up..... But as I am sure you have experienced this , but you introduced the bees to the Queen... But what would happen if you put the ball of bees in the cage with the queen at the same time ?? Would they stop the aggressive attack or would they continue to kill her?? I am assuming with out breaking the fight up first.... Caged or not they would continue.... Thanks
Not all the bees in that pile were from another queen. Some were her attendants. When you put the cage back down the queen was safe and you were able to cherry pick the ones that weren’t trying to kill the queen and put them in. Been there done that.
David, I have one hive right now with beetle blasters, a CD trap and screen bottom board with oil tray underneath, my question is sometimes when I clean out the oil tray there are 2 or 3 large larva in the cooking oil, they seem to live in it without any problem. They are quite large and kinda flat. do you have any idea what these might be? Thanks for all the good info.
If you know the difference between a Honey Bee, (in the video), and a Yellow jacket, (Wasp), you'll understand that you WANT Honey Bees. We couldn't survive without their pollenation. Wasps can take a hike. Them bees is the devil. (Mama said ma ma mama ma ma said.)
genuine question: if they was trying to kill the queen, why did it take them so long to do so? they basically swarmed her for quite some time, is her armor this strong that they cant penetrate it quickly?
They probably changed their minds thinking gods hand lifted her then returned her. The bees became religious afterwards and decided to protect her because she was the chosen one. That or they thought she and a few others were abducted by aliens.

Hello. Yes
Are you loney?
Cuz ur talking to yourself
I was not aware they would change so quickly. Thanks for sharing. Great video.
How many stings did he take doing that?
Sammy 644 I think since they are distracted by killing and then feeding the queen they’re too busy and aren’t threatened by him
Also maybe cause he’s quickly moving them
They think his hand is god
@@moomoo8623 he got stung a few times, you can see little red dots and I think part of a stinger in one.
Maybe they are use to him showing up to take care of them and they trust him because they know he’s not gonna hurt him
Bees:**kills qween**
Bees:**feeds same Queen her own body**
Bee logic
me: screaming because there is a bee in my room
him: *holds a whole load of bees without any gear*
try to stay calm when a bee's around and don't bother it and it won't bother you because if you scare it then it will sting you
