Y'all are so much fun. This is what I call good old fashion entertainment. What a wonderful relationship y'all have. Thanks for sharing it with us, Mr. and Mrs. H. I needed something to make me smile today. I collapsed another couple of vertebrae 4 weeks ago. I don't have private insurance so I didn't get surgery yet. I would have thought it would have been illegal to send me home without surgery, especially when I don't have a person in the world to help me at home. So no garden for me this year. My hearts just broken because of it. I desperately want to plant my groceries and get everything preserved and put up for next winter, but I can't even cook a meal, much less plant my garden!😢😢😢 But I get to watch y'all having fun. So thanks Mr and Mrs H.❤❤❤ PS. I really could use your prayers my dear gardening buddies.😊
Oh my goodness will definitely pray for you! Under the circumstances I wonder if you qualify for Medicaid that it would be worth calling your State’s department of health and human services
Check out dr Bergman on TH-cam. He helped me with his info. No surgery may have been a blessing. I know every case is different but I had five bad discs in my 30s and 40s that wrecked me. Steroid shots galore, pain pills and surgery options for hardware. At 53 I have a garden and 40 sheep to sheer. I passed on the surgery. Prayers. I had a setback last month. Couldn’t even roll over in bed. So my sympathy. I thought maybe I was out of business for ten more years. Dr B and his info saved the day. Bonus it is free. I quit the docs and their mri. I was back to splitting wood in two weeks.
I am praying for you right now shebrewsherri1008. May God Yeshua send his healing power towards you to ease some of your pain and suffering. In Yeshua name I pray. Amen So be it
I pray you get some help. Shame people in this country don’t have public insurance. No one should suffer like that. Hopefully you will be well enough to garden next spring! God Bless. 🙏
I came on here to say that the two of you show so much respect for each other and in so many ways. The admiration that you show for your husband and the admiration that he demonstrates to you is truly refreshing. ❤
I love your bee videos! I've been following your journey since the beginning and it makes me very happy to see how far you have to come, to see you more assertive and now catching swarms. Definitely God wants you to be bee shepherds. Congratulations, hope you get another one. Keep learning and gaining experience until you make it.
You guys are the sweetest couple and I have no doubt God sent those bees to y’all!! I love how you both find the humor and joy in what others might call “frustrating”
Mr. H get you a feather out of a chickens wing or from the ground that one has lost. Next time get you some sugar water in a spray bottle. Spray them down lightly then be gentle and comb them into box with chicken feather or turkey feather. Be calm. BEE CALM MR H. Speak gently to them as you work.
I just LOVE you two! You always make me smile/ laugh. That was AWESOME! Mrs H, I love how you keep encouraging Mr H to get a scoop! Get another her one! In the middle! Hahaha are they stinging you? RUN! I truly laughed so hard I cried!
Scoop and run not for fun!😂 Mr. H you are real trooper. Mrs. H you were hilarious, but you were looking out for him, as long as he wasn't running your way!😂😂🫶🏾🙏🏾
I was forced into bees because they entered my yard and would not leave...so I had to literally get some boxes to contain them. Love Mr and Mrs H. Nuff respect from Jamaica 🇯🇲 🙌 👌
Hint, if you are ordering a queen, whomever is going to be the main keeper, 'wear her for several hours in your shirt'. She will be more comfortable with you. Leave her in her mail package. My dad was a master bee keeper and he always taught this.
Y'all too funny 😂 Mrs. H said "don't come this way" glad you called LF73. I'll say that was a LOT of Bees. I'd like to have some of that honey! That was a successful mission!❤
Please ya'll get full bee suits and like I said in the other bee video, always check your head covering thoroughly before you use it. Every time. One tiny hole will allow them to swarm in and sting your face! I believe that a third swarm is on its way to you. ❤
A suggestion.. Take a queen cage with you ‘& try to find & capture the queen in the cage. Place the cage on the box. Then scoop slowly/softly the bees into the box. They will stay with the queen. They will alert the other bees the queen is on the box.
That's what I was thinking. I was just wondering how long the show was going to last before they'd find the queen and slam her into the box! Highly entertaining.
You can spray them with 1 to 1 sugar water then take a frame with comb and use a bee brush to scoot them onto the frame then gently put the frame in the box. You need to pucker up and not be so excited be more deliberate don’t man handle them. It was fun to watch though. Silly bees have a mind of their own. Some swarms have multiple queens.
You both had my daughter and me laughing sooo hard. I had bees for a few years. It went from one small hive to 6 large and growing. Maybe next time don’t throw them in. That will surely anger them. Very slow moves and no noise. 👍
Swarm season here in NC. I was working in my garden yesterday and I saw the cloud of bees and I knew it wasn't normal so I went made a call and a friend said they're about to leave so I found them on 3 cedar tree branches. He said you need to go find a box quick before they leave. It was my first time and now I'm addicted lol. Her smell was on the pole. Good stuff yall. This is my second hive started now. I found queen cells in my first box from last spring so I could've started a third hive if I let it hatch in a new box with a frame of bees. That's why they split I guess the colony got too big so they left some behind to take care of the old hive under a new queen once she hatch. Wear light clothing and get a brush and smoker to keep them calm. Keep the videos coming!!!
Wow! We learn so much from you, two. We are not into beekeeping, but we are growing our groceries. Every year, our garden grows. Thank you for all you do.
Oh my goodness he's just picking up piles of bees! Y'all laughing though reminds me of me and my husband whenever there's crazy chaos, we always wind up laughing hysterically while trying to get control of the situation. ❤
God bless you all who work with bees--I laughed out loud at my desk listening and watching poor Mr H risk his life to save those bees. He needs a full bee suit they can't bite thru ❤
My brother had a super bee suit but all it took was just one of those angry bees in a suit for the fun to begin. First he was swinging, then he went to pulling the suit off then to running and hollering while trying to strip that suit off. What a show! I just about wet my pants laughing.
I’m sorry Mr H but that was too funny! 😂 😂 Everytime you’d pick up the box I was like ‘please don’t drop that box’!! Glad y’all didn’t get hurt. Such a Blessing!
Congratulations on y'all second swarm! OMG that was a lot of bees! What a amazing catch!👍 Y'all had me rolling tho😂 Mrs H you struck out and I didn't see you anymore I heard you tho telling Mr H don't run your way go the other way😂 Mr H I got to give it to you on those move you made when you struck out that second time you really put the paddle to the floor!💯%🤣 I love y'all and I really enjoyed watching this video what an amazing catch!👍❣️🙏
And also scooping them up, one should move really slow. And scoop ever so gently. Generally as you scoop up small amounts of bees there will be a cluster around the queen. Gently scoop that up and set them gently on top of the frames in the hive. Watch them because if the queen is in there the others will go down into the hive following her. Then look for another cluster and do the same until you know she is in there. When you get her in there the rest will slowly March in too. Be patient be calm and most importantly enjoy the process. You all did well considering it’s your second time and you had a major bee suit malfunction. Keep at it y’all.
Woohoo!!! My bees split and swarmed. I had to cut down a 20' high limb and I got them all in a hive. 2 days later they swarmed again and I lost them. Praying yours will stay!
Mr.H running was the funniest thing I ever seen on your channel 😂😂❤ Now you need to plant Perennial flowers that come back every year and you need some new Spring flowers This will keep the bees on your property and in your land they need flowers.
Yeah, you need the pants also- once you get stung they release phenomes which call the others to attack . I did get the entire suit,because i didn't want to get stung at all, lol- i think i only got stung once without the pants- I had to save up the coins though! LOL
I learn souch from you to but the most important things that I share with my friends is how a couple that cares about family can work together.., again a fantastic teaching tool. Thank you
You guys remind me of my parents. They worked together to build our farm. We helped as well. There were quite of tight times and crops that didn’t make. Many prayers. After 50 years we paid off our farm. We still are having tight times but we are so thankful!! God bless you guys!!!!!❤️🙏❤️🇺🇸❤️❣️😊
Mr. & Mrs. H: Where is your smoker. You should have given the bees a few puffs of smoke to calm them down before sweeping them with a brush onto a tray and carefully inserting it into your hive box. Once you find the queen you should place her in the bottom of the box. I don't know if Africanized bees have made it to your state but many states in the south have them now and they are very aggressive. They are only good to use for a colony if you replace the queen with a purchased queen of a more gentle variety. I know they have these aggressive bees roaming wild in Texas. But it is more likely that one of your own or a nearby neighbor's bees have decided to swarm. A healthy swarm can contain as many as 60,000 bees. It is also a good idea once you have captured a swarm to place them in a location away from your existing hives. Sometimes they have mites or diseases that you don't want spread to your bees. Also the new bees may steal honey from your existing hive. You might get lucky by placing an empty bee box in a large tree several feet off the ground with some lemon grass oil and a small quantity of honey. You may just find another hive looking for a home. The trick is to transfer them from the tree box to a hive box on the ground. I did enjoy the video, who knew Mr. H. could run so fast. Keep up the good work.
Where is the calming smoke, smudge, whatever you call it. It works. A brave lady. God Bless. We had bees for three years and really enjoyed our own honey. Good luck. Bee's require work and experience. We did the work part but three years was a beginner's course.
If the world had more folks like Mr & Mrs H, what a wonderful society we would have!
Indeed
So true.👍🏾👍🏾

Serious about living, but Oh So funny. MRS. H was like Forest Gump. She was running! They just make my day.
Ain’t that the truth 💕
"RUN BABY!!!" Simply made my day😂
Ant love grand?
You guys are such a breath of sunshine. Thank you
What a beautiful blessing 🐝🐝🐝
RIGHT! I was rolling! LOL
I love ya'll! ❤️ "Don't run this way!" "She talked me into this!" I'm dying over here 😂😂😂...so proud of this swarm capture!
“Are they stinging you? YES. Don’t come this way.” Mr. H is a true man.
Poor Mr H❤😂
😂😭😅
Lol
Get a bee hive smoker that calms the bees and allows it to be handled. So sorry but I did laugh at "Run baby run". Thanks for sharing 🙏 😎 🏝 🏖
i heard smoke distracts the bees not calm them. just adding that, not arguing. still acomplishing the goal either way
It seems we were ALL laughing. 😅 Mrs. H said, "Don't run that way!" Mr. H was TRUCKING it in those boots.
Y'all are so much fun. This is what I call good old fashion entertainment. What a wonderful relationship y'all have. Thanks for sharing it with us, Mr. and Mrs. H. I needed something to make me smile today. I collapsed another couple of vertebrae 4 weeks ago. I don't have private insurance so I didn't get surgery yet. I would have thought it would have been illegal to send me home without surgery, especially when I don't have a person in the world to help me at home. So no garden for me this year. My hearts just broken because of it. I desperately want to plant my groceries and get everything preserved and put up for next winter, but I can't even cook a meal, much less plant my garden!😢😢😢 But I get to watch y'all having fun. So thanks Mr and Mrs H.❤❤❤
PS. I really could use your prayers my dear gardening buddies.😊
Oh my goodness will definitely pray for you! Under the circumstances I wonder if you qualify for Medicaid that it would be worth calling your State’s department of health and human services
Check out dr Bergman on TH-cam. He helped me with his info. No surgery may have been a blessing. I know every case is different but I had five bad discs in my 30s and 40s that wrecked me. Steroid shots galore, pain pills and surgery options for hardware. At 53 I have a garden and 40 sheep to sheer. I passed on the surgery. Prayers. I had a setback last month. Couldn’t even roll over in bed. So my sympathy. I thought maybe I was out of business for ten more years. Dr B and his info saved the day. Bonus it is free. I quit the docs and their mri. I was back to splitting wood in two weeks.
I am praying for you right now shebrewsherri1008. May God Yeshua send his healing power towards you to ease some of your pain and suffering. In Yeshua name I pray. Amen So be it
Just said a prayer for you Sherri ❤️
I pray you get some help. Shame people in this country don’t have public insurance. No one should suffer like that. Hopefully you will be well enough to garden next spring! God Bless. 🙏
Love this couple, family. ❤️
Where two are gathered.............
Don't you just love Mr. H? He's such nice guy.😊And he handled those bees! 🏃🏾🐝🐝🐝
🐝🐝🐝 Mr. H. you are a "MAN OF VALOR" We needed to see Mrs. H. running😂, but we heard you, I was laughing hard 🤣😂🤣😂.
My husband and I have caught eight swarms since 1 April 24. Seven years of beekeeping and have never seen anything like it.
It's definitely a very active year.🐝
It is offical - you guys are crazy. Going half suit into a bee swarm. I love it. I would have done the same.
I liked Mr. H's Bionic Man movements with the bees.
YOU TWO ARE SO FUNNY!!!! DON'T RUN THIS WAY😂 OMG!!!!
"Don't run toward me!!" was too funny!! Mr H definitely took one for the team 🤣😂
I came on here to say that the two of you show so much respect for each other and in so many ways. The admiration that you show for your husband and the admiration that he demonstrates to you is truly refreshing. ❤
Your love for each other and how you interact together is a joy to everyone watching.
💯❤️💯❤️💯
Mr H running had me laughing. What a blessing catching another swarm.
I love your bee videos! I've been following your journey since the beginning and it makes me very happy to see how far you have to come, to see you more assertive and now catching swarms.

Man, I absolutely enjoyed this video. I never been so entertained while learning at the same time.
Mr. H get you a feather out of a chickens wing or from the ground that one has lost. Next time get you some sugar water in a spray bottle. Spray them down lightly then be gentle and comb them into box with chicken feather or turkey feather. Be calm. BEE CALM MR H. Speak gently to them as you work.
This was hilarious!!! Making homesteading FUN, and FUNNY! Love y’all!
I just LOVE you two! You always make me smile/ laugh. That was AWESOME! Mrs H, I love how you keep encouraging Mr H to get a scoop! Get another her one! In the middle! Hahaha are they stinging you? RUN! I truly laughed so hard I cried!
Mr. H runs like a football player! I laughed so hard, you two are such natural wonderful people. Thanks!
As we used to call it, he was "trucking it!" lol high-knees at football practice, just like coach ordered lol
Scoop and run not for fun!😂 Mr. H you are real trooper. Mrs. H you were hilarious, but you were looking out for him, as long as he wasn't running your way!😂😂🫶🏾🙏🏾
Bee keeping is definitely not on my bucket list! 😂😂😂
It's wonderful if done correctly
I was forced into bees because they entered my yard and would not leave...so I had to literally get some boxes to contain them. Love Mr and Mrs H. Nuff respect from Jamaica 🇯🇲 🙌 👌
My husband is starting a beekeeping hobby. We get our first load of bees on Saturday. I'm sending this video to him lol
Hint, if you are ordering a queen, whomever is going to be the main keeper, 'wear her for several hours in your shirt'. She will be more comfortable with you. Leave her in her mail package. My dad was a master bee keeper and he always taught this.
OM GOSH!!!! WHAT AN INCREDIBLE VIDEO!!! 😯😯😯
Some funny antics, but I'm glad your both safe.
😂 Oh my Yah! " Okay run that way, don't run my way, they still following you"! 😂 🏃♀️ 🏃♂️ Baby! I needed this today. ❤ Yah bless you both 🙏🏽.
Had me rolling, 😅😭
Y'all too funny 😂 Mrs. H said "don't come this way" glad you called LF73. I'll say that was a LOT of Bees. I'd like to have some of that honey!

I believe that a third swarm is on its way to you. ❤
I'm sorry for laughing, but Mr H was very entertaining, and he was even funnier as he was describing every detail!
Yes indeed the Lord has truly blessed you! ❤

Run Forest Run!

You need to pucker up and not be so excited be more deliberate don’t man handle them. It was fun to watch though. Silly bees have a mind of their own. Some swarms have multiple queens.
This 👆. They will be more cohesive and easier to move and remember to be gentle. They won't get as 'testy." Good luck.
I was yelling: Get the queen! Get the queen!
Can you tell which one is the Queen?
@@ask_why000 Yes, you can tell the Queen, as she has a much longer abdomen than the worker bees.
I’m glad your safe from the scooping.
Mr H might have just found him a 2nd job😂 ( bee catcher)😂😂
Awesome…thanks for sharing…
Salute!🍃🍃🐝
I just love you so much I always get a good 😂 laugh. Thank you and God bless you both.
You both had my daughter and me laughing sooo hard. I had bees for a few years. It went from one small hive to 6 large and growing. Maybe next time don’t throw them in. That will surely anger them. Very slow moves and no noise. 👍
"Maybe next time don't throw them in" 😂😅 LOL
This was so funny, but you both are amazing! So glad you now have two bee hives.
Oh my!! You two are hillarious, but the swarm capture was a great success. 😂😂😂 You guys are amazing together!! ♥️♥️

I LOVE yall SO much ! 😝
Im watching the end of the vid where they explaining everything and I'm still rolling
You are a good team.
Y'all are adorable, running around, escaping the bee's together. Beautiful couple 🫶🏾
God bless you all who work with bees--I laughed out loud at my desk listening and watching poor Mr H risk his life to save those bees. He needs a full bee suit they can't bite thru ❤

You 2 are so awesome and great 🐝 s catcher's 🙏 ❤️
You guys are the best. Thank you so much for sharing. You all are setting a fine example and inspiring many.
Mrs H is the boss, she gets Mr H to do the scooping! LOL THANKS FOR THE LAUGH
I love all the laughing yall doing while running from bees.
I’m sorry Mr H but that was too funny! 😂 😂 Everytime you’d pick up the box I was like ‘please don’t drop that box’!! Glad y’all didn’t get hurt. Such a Blessing!
I laughed out Loud!😢 Run Baby Run 🏃 Now I know No bees for me . I can’t run fast enough at 75. This was a hoot!!! Run the other way!!
This got my funny bone. 😂 I just caught my first hive last week so this was soooo relatable. Thanks for sharing!
Congratulations on y'all second swarm! OMG that was a lot of bees! What a amazing catch!👍 Y'all had me rolling tho😂 Mrs H you struck out and I didn't see you anymore I heard you tho telling Mr H don't run your way go the other way😂 Mr H I got to give it to you on those move you made when you struck out that second time you really put the paddle to the floor!💯%🤣 I love y'all and I really enjoyed watching this video what an amazing catch!👍❣️🙏
😂👍
Next time use a bee brush to sweep them into a large cardboard box. Close the top then you can shake them into your hive. Finding the queen is the hey
And also scooping them up, one should move really slow. And scoop ever so gently. Generally as you scoop up small amounts of bees there will be a cluster around the queen. Gently scoop that up and set them gently on top of the frames in the hive. Watch them because if the queen is in there the others will go down into the hive following her.

You all did well considering it’s your second time and you had a major bee suit malfunction. Keep at it y’all.
I'm laughing so hard tears are coming into my eyes. May God Bless Your Swarp Capture.
Woohoo!!! My bees split and swarmed. I had to cut down a 20' high limb and I got them all in a hive. 2 days later they swarmed again and I lost them. Praying yours will stay!
Mr.H running was the funniest thing I ever seen on your channel 😂😂❤
Now you need to plant Perennial flowers that come back every year and you need some new Spring flowers This will keep the bees on your property and in your land they need flowers.
It was those boots and that high grass 😅 lol had to high-step it!
You guys are brave, wow❤
Well. Mr H is brave. And his courage keeps Mrs H safe!! "I'll take one for the team!" 😂 Best video!
Yeah, you need the pants also- once you get stung they release phenomes which call the others to attack . I did get the entire suit,because i didn't want to get stung at all, lol- i think i only got stung once without the pants- I had to save up the coins though! LOL
I learn souch from you to but the most important things that I share with my friends is how a couple that cares about family can work together.., again a fantastic teaching tool. Thank you
You guys are so funny!! Love this video!❤❤❤❤
😂😂Mr. H had to take one for the team - Mrs. H wasn't having it. Congratulations ya'll!
I got two swarms this year I had to cancel my order of bees.
The bee police😆
YOU ARE BRAVE!!! I couldn't see myself ever attempting what you did.
Nope I would have just put the box there and waited it out DANGEROUS😂❤
There was an elderly man when I was growing up that would catch storms. He would smook them, then use a turky feather to brush them into the box.
I love watching you guys. You gave me a good laugh for today. Sorry. ❤
Well I must say, I've never seen anything like that before. My heart is starting to calm down. Mr. H is the man!!!
Good work after all them try’s. You got the queen in the box. And they will settle down finally
Glad they didn't give up!
You guys remind me of my parents. They worked together to build our farm. We helped as well. There were quite of tight times and crops that didn’t make. Many prayers. After 50 years we paid off our farm. We still are having tight times but we are so thankful!! God bless you guys!!!!!❤️🙏❤️🇺🇸❤️❣️😊
I love this! My daughter is a beekeeper so I appreciate your efforts on catching swarms. I have done it by myself. Somewhat nerve wracking!! Good job!
U Guys Rock, nothing like hearing Mrs H laughing. Teamwork at it's Best. Keep Pushing!
You need light colored pants, a bee brush and a bee vacuum - makes it easier - they are a lot less irritated and you just dump them in the hive
Mr. H..."RUN BABY"!.... MRS H, " THEY ON YOU"!...😂 She said leave her out of it! Lol😂
😂😂
He got alot of em that time, straight over the box🤣🤣
Love you two, thank you for sharing your life with us. You are a blessing.
BEE CAREFUL😂😂😂❤❤❤❤
Good day to all.
Guys watch the honeyhomestead,she knows all the tricks, mostly take your time and read the bees before you make a move ❤
How courageous you both are, as well as opposed and transparent about the process. Thank you!
I'm gonna put this in my replay list, that 🏃♂️ 🏃♀️ by y'all. I will watch this video clip many times 😅😅😅
Run baby! Mr. H !🏃🏿🏃🏿🏃🏿🏃🏿🏃🏿🏃🏿🏃🏿🏃🏿❤️❤️👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Mr. & Mrs. H: Where is your smoker. You should have given the bees a few puffs of smoke to calm them down before sweeping them with a brush onto a tray and carefully inserting it into your hive box. Once you find the queen you should place her in the bottom of the box.

Good job you guys let them calm down
You both are so brave! Glad that you were able to save the queen and her workers! 😊
Is there ANYTHING yiu two can't do? You are such an inspiration and a blessing!
Where is the calming smoke, smudge, whatever you call it. It works.
A brave lady. God Bless. We had bees for three years and really enjoyed our own honey. Good luck. Bee's require work and experience. We did the work part but three years was a beginner's course.
This is just hilarious 😂. I love you guys... run babe run!!! You guys made my day.
This was pure COMEDY! Mrs. H just hollering from across the field was taking me out! Love y’all😂😂😂
I've never seen bees sting while swarming.
Don't throw those bees into the box Mr. H! You be gentle and they be gentle!
