Bees Vs Spray Foam "No Contest!"
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 4 ก.ย. 2020
- The title of this video says it all folks. Spray foam is no match for honey bees, they will chew right through it, no problem!
This is a rental property & according to the tenants, the bees were there when they moved in.
I was told that the previous tenants did not inform the landlord the building had bees & it appears someone used at least a few cans of spray foam to try to either seal the bees in or keep them out of the structure.
Either way, the bees just chewed right through the foam like a hot knife through butter.
At first the colony was very defensive but smoking them changed their intentions quickly!
The tenant informed me that he used approximately $100.00 worth of chemicals (there was a fogger in the yard) to try to eradicate the bees, as they would sting him when he cut the grass.
Even though the colony appeared healthy, I decided not to utilize any of the comb sections or honey from the hive for fear of any pesticide contamination issues.
The colony is thriving now in Gonzales, Louisiana on 3,000 acres of swamp land with plenty of flowers, water & zero spray foam.

Bee Vac is the Colorado Bee Vac which I helped test & design. I collaborated with Guy Shingleton of Denver, Colorado who makes/sells them. Great fellow, great bee vac. They can be purchased online through Amazon, etc... - แนวปฏิบัติและการใช้ชีวิต
people in my school freak out about a single bee, and this man is just sitting next to an entire exposed hive like it's his job. Oh wait.......
@TheOtherWhiteBread0 ???
@TheOtherWhiteBread0 (That's not how you use that word. Probably just shouldn't use it at all because it's really stupid.)
@TheOtherWhiteBread0 So what exactly does young men being obsessed over women have to do with being afraid of bees?
@@ryno4ever433 when you obsess over women you become a women
@@hapybratt8640 Okay Jesse Lee Peterson
He forced me to watch almost the entire video by saying "im not gonna eat this honey, i will tell you later why".
Good to know 😉👍🐝
@@JPthebeeman keep in mind, i dont regret it :D
@Jeff Roberts You gotta watch it
that's how he got me as well
Same way he got me, never regretted watching the whole video:D
This was an amazing video. The breakdown, education, calmness, straightforward and simplification was so alluring.
How is he doing this without a suit
Yea honestly. Great vid
Well said. That’s what happens when a person knows their trade like a second skin. Also, shout out to chalmette. I’m from Lafayette
I agree make this man blow up please
+the music
He is so polite with these bees it’s kinda cute “hey girls “🐝.He is good at his craft and his job♥️
And no protection. Now that’s someone trusting his own expertise.
He uses a smoker
Rubenpros 609 even with 2 smokers I wouldn’t do it. 😄
@@rubenpros6093 yeah I've messed with bees before, as a family member owns a hive, even with 3 full smokes I still got stung 4 times

Bee: * stings human with most powerful thing it has *
Human: *laughs*
Also Bee: 👁👄👁 Nani
Bee: dies in the process
Human: cries
@@Tyler-zw4kq Bruh that sucks.
I got a lot of allergies myself but non that are potentially leathal.
I don’t know why I’m watching this, I have no bee problems whatsoever but damn was this relaxing to watch.
Salma 👍🐝
I really appreciate the fact that you actually care about the bees and gave them a new home.
“ She’ll try to dig in with her MANDIBLES” I’m dead asfff the way he said that 😂
Lol dude sounded like peter griffin for a minute
Hes from Louisiana alright lol

@@Dylans503 I was thinking he sounded a bit like Cleveland for a minute lol
Whoever has been spraying that foam on must be a genius. If it didn't work the first time why not spray more foam over and over until it DOESN'T work....
Totally with you here.
well, give people a break. You don't just give up when something doesn't work for you the first time, do you?
The truth is, they used the spray not for the sake of the bees. They just didn't want that stray knife to escape at 5:13. See? It did its job. 😆
Ion Ymous I fully understand that people will often try just about anything to get rid of a beehive in their structure.
I’m not one of those guys who gets angry at people trying to make their living arrangement more comfortable.
I sympathize with them.
It’s my job to educate those who don’t know any better & help them reach a better solution.
Welcome to another fallacy of human nature / psychology.
If it didn't work the first time, we didn't try hard enough and need to give it a much harder attempt the next time rather than trying something new.
They may as well have used squeeze cheese to seal those gaps. It kind of looks like they did anyway. I hope they have you on speed dial for this coming spring.
Yeah, for a second there I felt the overwhelming urge to pull out a box of Ritz but realized it was just spray foam. Imagine the let down & it was lunch time, glad I had a turkey sammich with me.
Ahh, that totally explains what that knife was in there for, then. Mystery solved.
Speed dial for the spring is right, with all those gaps it’s going to be swarm central. Don’t tell Mr Ed where this house is, he will set up swarm traps there, although I haven’t heard about the contest lately so maybe that’s over.
Heather Beachgirl Jeff & Randy are always having some kind of contest or another so I’m sure one of them is keeping a tally on something. ☺️
@@JPthebeeman hahaha
This is a classic example of why property owners of rental properties need to do semi-annual property inspections. It looks to me like the landlord needs to invest some money into the property while they still have a property worth repairing. Contrary to popular belief "Spay-Foam" is not waterproof but rather an excellent absorber of rain water and moisture which in turns makes a great place for mold and mildew to form and in turn promotes rot which of course attracts termites, ants, and all sorts of creepy crawling critters.
Slumlording is more profitable than having to do inspections. Sad but true.
They do quarterlies here in OZ but the focus is on the tenant, property disrepair profits be damned!
It depends on whether it's closed cell or open cell foam. Closed cell is waterproof. Open cell is not-- it's a sponge.
My sisters apartment was a shack with several additions poorly added on. The luandry room dumped the water under the house. The gutters soffets and fasica was missing and the gutters were pouring water into the house. The landlord never came to see the damage and never listened to our warnings. Also there was alot of visable mold.
No one gets into real estate because they're nice people...
JP: Sees some bees*
JP: So anyway I started vacuuming
No idea why this came up in my recommendations but I'm so glad it did. Your patience and care for those bees reminds me of the way my Dad used to work with his hives and brought back some good memories.
Glad you enjoyed it, thanks for watching, appreciate it. 👍🐝
I have never seen a bee hive removal before. It’s so satisfying to watch
You know what really keeps bees out?
Proper maintenance.
"So what are the main tools of your trade?" ... "a bread knife and a vacuum"
You have a gift my friend, your voice, speaking tone, camera work, and the fact that you are so informative. You can't do much better for youtube content than this.
Don’t forget funny too 😂
He's so casual about this sting.
I'm running away even when I see a bee approaches me from 50 meters away.
I love the combination of mad chill music while you vacuum bees, then a pause while you explain things or give us interesting facts, and repeat👍🏻👍🏻
The people that can do this without full body protection amaze me... hell no.
He only got stung two times relax yourself
Alexapexgod I don’t think that is what he was talking about.
Alexapexgod it’s an understandable concern. Please don’t be a 🍆
Skin is full body protection ;p
Rennie Ash I mean it’s a pretty garbage one compared to others
He explains why he doesn’t try the honey around the 16:01 mark.
Damn i wish i seen this comment before i watched the whole damn thing
Thanks!
Youre a real one
Justin Washington nahh worth every minute
@Connection Lost L = 10 sec skip
*Gets stung in the arm and the bee tries to bite him* This guy just laughing it off like it’s nothing.
Me: Oh this is gonna be good!
@Tony Firenze Watch the video. The bee is trying to bite him after it stung him.
@Tony Firenze look at the video please the bee bit him.
@Tony Firenze I'll assume you meant hornets and wasps BITE and Bees do not. Surely you know Bees sting. No one was saying you should be afraid of a Bee bite, just that they can and will try to bite you after stinging you. You can watch it in the video where the Bee is trying to bite him. I assume he is so relaxed because he knows the Bee wont do much damage if he manages to bite him.
He’s like Thanos in Wakanda lol
The workmanship and maintenance of that dwelling is highly underwhelming.
Yeah, I believe a toddler could’ve done a better job putting that wall together.
JPthebeeman might have been cheaper to maintain the building than buy all that spray foam.
@@carschmn Maybe in the long run being able to charge more for the rent, but these spray cans are cheap and the owner probably did that himself in a couple minutes.
At least it probably has indoor plumbing. And it might actually work.
@@carschmn That building needs to be "maintained" with a bulldozer.
I've watched about 11 hours of your videos just in the last week and find them very educational and interesting. This one was almost calming to watch with your easy-going attitude and soft voiceover. Thanks for the great videos.
I was expecting to see Schawee show up and bad mouth you again for using a toy hammer to remove that T111. Personally, I was surprised to see you using the same hammer after the ribbing you took when we did that removal in Slidell, but I know how it is to get attached to tools that work the way you like them. Another great one JP, God's peace brother.
Jeff, I dropped that hammer inside of the wall of a house infested with bees & decided not to demolish the wall to get to the hammer. If you want to make fun of my new hammer, I’m okay with it! 🤣👍🐝
@love is my religion Bees prefer a 32 oz. hammer. It's a similar situation to fish preferring a chop saw to a tubing cutter. Nature is wierd like that.
@love is my religion it's another bee keeper. They are just joking around because he was using a small hammer in a previous job.
That was nice at least you did not have to sit out in the heat this time with the A/C running. I am glad you where able to save them, with their queen bee.
Loved the voice over, love the bee voices. The bee voices make me laugh. LOL
Take care of your self JP.
It was actually very warm in that room but it’d beat any job in the direct sun, any day.
I like how you have a boston and southern accent at the same time.
"Worst case scenario would bee"
There's a lot of buzz around that statement...
Honey comb home your too tired to finish doing this...
Man this was a sweet video I can't beelieve it existed
Royal Ramble stop, stop, just stop it
No, just no.
@@lolbobPlus okay you guys win.. ill beehive
"She's gonna do everything she can to, ya know... Let you know you suck."
Ahahaha lmao. I lost it at that
You've got a heart of gold looking after your little girls i enjoy watching your videos.
J.P. now that was a nice job getting all of the bee's out and the capture of the queen . I look forward to watching all of your new videos and you were the first honey bee channel that I started to watch and now I watch all of the other's that you have had /mentioned on your channel. I hope that you have a great weekend .
I honestly have no interest in ever trying to remove these myself but I find your videos incredibly educational soothing and entertaining thank you
Your love and respect for the bees is humbling. Your narration and education of the matter is spot-on. Thank-you.
I didn't search for this but for a change, TH-cam's algorithm was right. I did like this video.
This man casually filming the bee stinging him and explaining what she's doing 😅 amazing
So happy to see you recovered them. Was pretty ignorant in my youth, but now realize how important and valuable they are. Much appreciate your work and efforts to remove them as well as show us, thanks!
If that was my home - I would order bee removal, but afterwards I would knock down the entire building, and build it properly out of concrete building blocks with no gaps or cracks anywhere.
There's only two types of concrete. Concrete that has cracks, and concrete that is going to crack
I like bees so I’d probably just start using a window to get in and out of my house.
This dude really respects his craft. Like... He's not even aggressive with 15,000 damn bees right there. I'm terrified and I'm watching inside my house on TH-cam lmao x_x
Love the work you do, and I try not to get mad at folks who don't know better than to immediately solve a bee "problem" with chemicals, but after how many decades of stories about colony collapse and people still do this stuff, man, it hits hard. Bees are absolutely ESSENTIAL animals for so much life on this planet it's just frustrating that there isn't more awareness (or care) about what's going on. Anyway, rant over. Thanks so much for the work and education you bring in your videos.
Never seen someone be so cool with being stung. Truly amazing
Good video JP. Much better work. Good job👍👍👍
"First sting of the day, now she'll try to bite ya", just another day in the office...
Hi JP.
Your videos have inspired me to take up Bee Keeping (again) in the UK. I lost my passion for bees when I lost my partner. Your true inspiration, care and patience has spurred me on to buy a couple of hives and move onwards and upwards. One of new hives will be named the "JP" hive. I'll send you a picture in a few months.
Thanks again, Mark.
Love the fact you built them a new home and spared their lives, plus sugar water. You are looking out for the local ecology and for endangered honey bees! 👏👏👏👏👏
"Oop, and there's my first sting of today."
This guy has some iron skin, meanwhile I have rose petals for skin. Amazing how he can just act like it's a mosquito bite
It's a small thing but I appreciate that you refer to them as feral bees, not wild bees.
slavkei no worries but I suppose you understand that there are no wild honey bees in North America as they were brought over by early settlers to America in the 1620’s.
A lot of people find that surprising but facts are facts.
Thanks for watching.
@@JPthebeeman Yessir! That's why I was thanking you! I appreciate you calling 'em Feral instead of Wild for that exact reason, I know it's a small thing, but it's one I really appreciate.
On that note, perhaps this fall, d'you think you'd have any interest in doing a small video on bee houses for solitary bees and how the average person can make them even without many tools? I'm sure there're a lot of viewers who love bees but don't have the space, time, energy, or temperament to house full hives, but would love setting up a bee house for their local solitary bees to safely brood in.
slavkei we don’t have many solitary bees where I’m located other than ones most people would find undesirable such as carpenter bees. If we had Mason bees I’d be all over your suggestion as I think they’re really super cool friendly & interesting bees. Stingless bees are actually really cool too, know a guy in Australia who keeps them.
@@JPthebeeman That's reasonable. I didn't realize that your area didn't have mason bees, so I can certainly understand! Thank you for responding, hope your day goes well
JPthebeeman every summer carpenter bees make my wood shed their home. They can be feisty
I love how calm you are during this whole process. You are a bee king!
Thank you so much for this wonderfully educational video! My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed it!
This was an awesome video and actually rather touching as my father was a beekeeper. I so miss the honey his bees would produce! (He was a farmer too, so he'd set up various hives around various specific crops for different types of honey. He'd plant buckwheat for the dark honey and had certain hives near clover for the light stuff. )
👍🐝
I figured you didn't want to eat the honey because it was a meth house
😂😂😂😂
i hated insects so much but every since i started watching your stuff i've had much more appreciation for bugs and bees like i generally enjoy life more because of the mindset your videos gave me
When I first started watching you work wasn’t too impressed, but your knowledge and skill working on the hive was very impressive.Great job thanks for the good information.
I don't know why this was in my feed but I'm glad it was. This is awesome! You are doing tremendous work for humans and bees alike, thanks for all you do brother!
M Till JP's videos are always interesting to watch as is 628DirtyRooster's channel and Jeff Horchoff Bees
Thanks jp this is one of the best videos I've ever seen god bless you and your family
What a legend. This guy didn't even curse
Highly knowledgeable too🙃
I love how professionally he does his job.
Has the right tools and information for the job super specific well made video aswell showing the whole progress of how you make your living.
God Bless this guy right here man🙏🏽
We need more people like you , down to actual earth.🙏🏽💪🏽🍯👍🏼
Never would have guessed I’d be hooked on watching videos of bees being collected. Stumbled across your videos today. I love how you talk to the “ladies”.
This is a really good video for the new kids wanting to learn about bees! Thank you! I know how much you would have loved to have harvested the comb! This is a good learning video. Very best to all! Blessings and Re Jouir -Darlene (& Scott)
Do you have any idea the discipline it required for me not to eat gobs of that beautiful comb? 😂
@@JPthebeeman Yes sir, I do! The very best and healthiest part of your job!!! Knowing about the chemicals gave your strength! :)
Dar Smith true that. 🤣
I concur with @Dar Smith. Very good video. How long would you have to wait to be sure any honey, pollen, etc. would not potentially be contaminated by the chemicals that were used on the bees?
better than most teachers. ....
I love your talking bees!!!!🥰👏👏👏👏......and your posts. Check every day for new ones. Keep those bees talking👍😁
liz impey 👍🐝
JP that was an amazing video. You do an excellent job of filming and explaining your work. A pleasure to watch. Thank you!
I appreciate your wonderful treatment of the bees and how your ability to remain calm keeps you safe from them. I would never have any business doing what you do, since I can't get past my fear 😖 of them, though I do appreciate bees. Your ability to relocate them safely is appreciated. You do an awesome job, so thank you! 👍
Ah, so this is what it looks like when bees establish a colony in a crack house.
JP, I watch a couple of bee channels and yours is my favorite. I also watch 628 dirtrooster and killer bee guy in Arizona who does africanized hives.
Great video. Not too crazy of a production quality, it’s just about right. High def up close shots of the honeycombs, panned out time lapse. And you know your trade and are incredibly informative. Keep it up!!
Enjoyed watching your video and your care in saving the bees. I worked at the bee lab at Ohio State for two summers under Dr. Rothenbuehler. That was the best summer job any college student could have. Great memories many years later.
👍🐝
That's lots of honey!
Been seeing you everywhere lately haha
Return of the Mak!
I swear to god you watch every video on youtube
Using comments to gain subs huh nice move
Garage Mischief stfu hater
Wow I was pleasantly surprised by this video, and the music collection is A1
I LOVE the education and explanations that you provide. I look forward to every video, and recommend to friends all the time!
Just found this channel and this is the first video I’ve watched from you. I just want to say that this was the most wholesome video I’ve seen in a while. I really respect the creators who are having fun doing what they do while also talking to the fans. You’ve definitely got my subscription! I’ll be checking out more! Keep up the amazing work!
Thank you so much, appreciate it, thanks for subscribing! 👍🐝
I just cant understand how he is doing this without a suit
It doesn't hurt as much when ur body gets used to it
Wow! So cool what you do!
This was a great video, very fascinating, relaxing, and informative which is always great. I love how caring you are with the bees too, I’m definitely subscribing 😁
I love how gently you work!
I'm so glad when people care about them to relocate them and not kill them
This is when you need “flex seal” not that cheap foam
You misspelled "FLAME THROWER"
@@retrotoypile3838 Noo, that's for wasps. Honeybees are friends.
Tommy Madison with Africanized bees it is the only solution
I always like your videos JP! They're so informative and the music relaxes me and just makes the entire thing worthwile to watch. Keep up the awesome worrkk. Thank you for these wonderful videos!
You are a very brave man. I wouldn't go anywhere near a hive without a suit, let alone break one open!
You have a gift. Nice editing
Wow that’s amazing.
I'm really impressed with how you treat the bees and how you work.. not mention how instructive every video you post is. Very appreciate. Would love to experience your job. Best wishes for Spain
I have learned more about honey in this one video than I ever had. Awesome!
Such a wonderful human being, I'm so glad you don't just want to come and bum rush it and kill the bees just to make a quick buck. So glad there's caring people in this world still.
That queen is a laying machine by the looks of it.
makes me so happy to see the care.for these bees. We need them
Really enjoyed the video from the music to your explanations. Also just amazing how you can sit there and do all that with only a knife and vacuum. Fantastic job and good luck with any future jobs, hope to watch more in the future.
Dam I never would have found you Chanel if it wasn’t for TH-cam’s recommended
I was thinking the spray foam stopped the bees No! so it's "No Contest the bees chewed right through the spray foam"
I love how you respect the bees so much, and how you know so much about them. Very cool. Thanks for the vid.
Just goes to show us, more needs to be understood about, not using chemicals!!! Thank you so much for teaching us,, you are so kind, AGAIN, many thanks.!
That landlord would have been in jail by now here in Minnesota.
I was just thinking that. That place would be condemned where I’m from (Minnesota).
Exactly. The landlord should have been forced to live in that "house" for a year . Glad you were able to save the bees, JP.
Different states have different standards. Some states have no standards at all. It's interesting that there is absolutely no insulation in that wall. I would be surprised if that actually had to pass a building inspection, or if it did, that the inspector wasn't on the take. (The way that usually works that is to hand them a $100 bill and say, "I think you dropped this")
@@brianleeper5737 Looked kind of like a mud room entrance.
Well he said the previous tenant didn't inform the landlord about the bees. Once the new tenant informed the landlord , the landlord hired this guy. I'm sure the landlord would have preferred to know about this before it got to this level. Hopefully this landlord has realized the need to personally inspect the property more regularly.
Miss you Aloha🌴🍍🌺glad I saw this
I don't usually laugh at the bee voices but the exposed bee got me.
Just trying to interject a little humor into the equation, glad you had a chuckle. 😉👍🐝
I can’t tell you how happy I am to watch a real professional work. You are an artist. Best of luck to you, sir.
Looks like a fun job other then bee stings ofcourse.
I doubt he got stung in this video.

You are a great teacher. So interesting how you pepper these facts throughout it. Thanks!
Lol to me just look like bees. Can't spot out the queen. And when you did still look like a normal bee to me.
I relate with that women. They all look like bees but they're all in the shot so, eh.
She's trying to tell you thay you suck...lmao I don't like bee's and they sure don't like me but I get stung by one and it's a wrap for me.. it's not the pain of ther sting it's the after effect I have with uncontrollable shaking sick among other things and if I could get over that I'd be in fine shape but until thing I'll let JP do all the bee stuff... great video JP..👍👍
I'm not an expert or a doctor or anything, but that sounds like an allergic reaction of some sort. Have you talked to a doctor about it? If not, you probably should; that's not a normal reaction to a bee sting.
Bees are amazing. Thank you for taking care of them.
Man I'm glad you're out there. Thanks for doing this work.
