I never understood the comment "not all heros wear capes" until I found your channel. Your love and care and attention brings tears to my eyes. You, lady, are MY hero. Thank you for saving the bees. ❤
Thank you so much! I think that being in a beehive is actually very meditative. You have to stay calm and focused and I'm so glad that comes through in these videos and that you're able to get a sense of that by watching. I appreciate you following along!
@@TexasBeeworks And I'm sitting here with my heart beating out of my chest afraid I won't get to sleep tonight :) Loved the video, but this triggers all my phobias lol.
Hi. Gary from NM here. We enjoy your vlogs so much and I dropping a comment tonight because you were an inspiration to us today. We saved a swarm of bees today and we were empowered by you and your videos. We found the queen. She was the last bee in the last clump to be examined. I remember the excitement the moment I spotted her. I didn't think I would be able to spot a queen in the masses of bees. I listened to you when you said to let the bees tell you where the queen is. It worked! And this video told me how long to keep her in the queen cage....you said a couple of days. Awesome, I can't believe I (with help from a friend) saved a swarm of bees. Keep up the good work and thanks for sharing.
I think this women is fantastic. She learned a business she could handle alone. She's polite, clean, aware, patient, great!!! I couldnt do it!!😮 I'd woos out the first sting or hot day. I think this women is a perfect ambassador for bee care. We need her!!!❤❤❤❤
Love the comedic timing when the comb falls off it's own weight. Side note, I'm happy I found your channel, specially after i saw SO MANY fake accounts that didn't show the full process. Love LOVE your work.
I am always amazed watching you handling the bees with your bare hands. I guess you are the human queen bee and you tell the bees get on my hand for an easy trip to your new hive! Elegance at its best! Way to go!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Ericka is AMAZING! I have so many questions--how does she fight the fear response so well?? I work at a desk on my outdoor porch, and I get a few bees that come by to 'map' me, and it's SO HARD not to bat them away even telling myself that they don't want to hurt me. I watched in awe as Ericka was working with bees buzzing all around her in a really confined space and she didn't once lose her cool and start swatting at them or screaming--how the heck does she DO that?? I just hear the buzz and I stiffen, even though if a bee gets into my house I immediately go into 'rescue mode' and get them outside again, so I don't move to kill them, but MAN, the fear response is brutal to deal with!
I used to be a semi truck driver and for some reason bees were attracted to my truck, especially my cab (i used lavender oil for migraines, i think that's why). I always felt bad when I couldn't usher them out before I had to move on. I feel better knowing other hives possibly took them in.
You are very good at what you do both in protection of the Bee's and explaining the process with a calm voice. I've worked around Bee's many times and they just know that I mean them no harm. Thank you for proving me right. They are wonderful and good at their job as well.
I watch a lot bee keepers and you are my favorite, I call you the bee whisperer. You are definitely different than everyone else and the bees 🐝 know it 💕🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝
Another Great rescue Erika! I just love watching you work bees, I try to remember how smooth you are with them when I’m working my bees. I have much practicing to do :). I’d love to see more videos from you as it’s so relaxing and happy to watch you with the bees! This was a great surprise for today! Thank you!
Thank you! If you’re just starting to do bee removals, I always suggest starting with water meter boxes. They’re easy to access and people tend to notice soon after the bees move in which always makes the removal process easier. Best wishes to you and your bees!
What is the best course of action if the bee’s for some reason become aggressive and/or begin stinging you? What’s the best way to handle something like that so you don’t upset them even more?
I think maybe im the first person to notice this, but if you listen closely and pay attention, the person that narrates this has a voice that seems really relaxed.
I admire your gentle handling and respectful attitude towards the bees 🐝. I saw a few videos from another bee ”rescuer”/farmer, where he and his crew took a lot of the honey combe they found in the wild for themselves instead of letting the bees have it. In one video he decided to exterminate an entire colony because the bees were ”aggressive”. Before he did that, he accidentally killed the Queen by dropping her to the ground and *stomped on her* while he was attempting to show her to the camera.
@@cameronmiyao2673 yeah! I was so enraged by that! He has no buisness being in the bee buisness, if you ask me! He has no respect for the bees, nor any understanding of their behaviour. I watched most of the video and took gleeful joy in every stung he got. But in the end I was just sad, when he succeeded in his aim to kill the entire colony.
You are mesmerizing! I really believe in what you do and you do it with such grace and kindness. Please consider making a two hour documentary of your work and experiences. I know it will be a huge success! I become so calm and relaxed watching your videos. Thank you for caring so much for these important little creatures.
I think maybe im the first person to notice this, but if you listen closely and pay attention, the person that narrates this has a voice that seems really relaxed.
I find this fascinating Thank you as someone who is allergic to Bees/Wasps due mostly to the pollen they collect but still understands their importance I appreciate people like you who work to remove and relocate them
Wow...you made that look really easy. That camper made a texas sized swarm trap. I hope to catch my first swarms this year. Thanks for sharing. Great job!
I think maybe im the first person to notice this, but if you listen closely and pay attention, the person that narrates this has a voice that seems really relaxed.
Your demeanor and voice are both very gentle. I am extremely allergic to bee stings but still have a healthy respect and fascination for bees. Your videos are very educational and fun to watch.
I think maybe im the first person to notice this, but if you listen closely and pay attention, the person that narrates this has a voice that seems really relaxed.
You are certainly the Bee Whisperer. I love your soft, soothing voice and learn more each time I watch. I wonder if they know you love them and are so willing to be re-homed if they sense that they'll be cared for and safe and maybe that's why you are stung so seldom.
Love your stories! I know you love your work! I'm happy to know that the state of Texas has You! You glorify all that you do! Your stories are so wonderful they make me cry! I hope someone is smart enough to get you a t.v show! This will help educate the public about how important you are! You are a Stewart of our beautiful Earth! T.Y Ohio😊
Amazing removal. I'm wanting to learn about beekeeping and I'm thinking about putting a hive on my 2.5 acres in Bexar county. I have so much to learn. Thanks for the videos, they are very helpful and also fun to watch.
Just found these videos and I'm happy I did. They're very interesting and very relaxing. Now I know what I'll be watching when I need to relax. Maybe I'll even look into getting into bee keeping. Maybe I'll even acquire the knowledge needed to start rescuing hives near me. I love the tactics you use to remove the bees. It shows your skill.
Your voice is so soothing and these videos are very relaxing. I could fall asleep to "the gentle bees followed the bridge into their new hive" and "another great day of saving the bees"
This is down right intriguing! Bee's make me nervous being that I am allergic to bee stings!! But she is scooping them up with her hands and on top of that, she doesn't even have her hair wrapped up lol! SHE HAS NERVES OF STEEL!!
What is your stance on people vacuuming bees and reconstitution the wax for the bees to use when rebuilding a hive. Seems like that would be a little unsettling for the bees. I love watch how respectful you are during a bee removal. You are so gentle with the bees.
Thank you for finally answering the question that i always wonder -what happen to the stragglers bees that was left behind everytime there is removal or relocating nest happen. Thank you for always be gentle with them. I hope someday we got to see a video when u deal with agressive colony. I really wanna see how you handle it.
You are amazing at this !! The way you make me feel when u talk i can understand why the bees dont mind you at all !! Dont no if u r married or not but if u are i can bet he has a hard time ever getting mad at you !! Lol honestly your voice is so calming !! I gotta take a nap now !!

This lady is the definition of living within your purpose. That’s why all these different hives trust her instantly.

Her- *opens door*
“There it is, a beautiful hive of 20-50,000 bees.
Me - *watches her open door*
*shits pants*.
She said 15,000 - 20,000

Your care and love for bees is an inspiration. Thank you
Beautiful voice, beautiful work, beautiful human, beautiful woman 😍
They chose a weird spot, but Its so cool that the bees don't even mind you moving them. You seem to have a calming effect on them. And me. thanks! :)
Thank you Erica your love and respect for the bees as you remove the hive to a safer location
I had thought the smoke was to calm the bees down, not get them to move out of the way. Learned something new! Very neat!
I think it does both
Adore her work! Thanks bee mama.

These videos are so entertaining! It hooks you and can't stop watching please keep these up they're great! You're narrative is the cherry on top :)
