Beehive Geyser Eruption Sept. 20, 2013 -- Yellowstone National Park

- Geysertimes.org was predicting the eruption of Beehive Geyser at 5:57 pm, so I headed out on the boardwalk to see if I could capture the show. For those of you who are unfamiliar with Beehive, she is the second or third largest "regularly active" geyser in Yellowstone. Beehive can reach heights of over 200' -- higher than that of her better known nearby rival, Old Faithful. However, unlike Old Faithful, Beehive can be fickle and inconsistent, so witnessing her incredible display can take a bit of patience; she has a variance of -+ 2 hours, and can be dormant for days at a time. Beehive is one of a handful of geysers that has what is called an indicator; a physical feature that sometimes indicates an eruption is imminent. "Beehive's Indicator" is a small vent about 10' to the SE of Beehive that produces a steady 6' stream of water about 10-15 minutes before Beehive's eruption. This year Indicator has been going off for extended periods of time NOT followed by a Beehive eruption (which I had frustratingly witnessed two days earlier). This evening's predicted eruption time came and went -- then at 6:08 pm Indicator sprang to life. Eleven minutes later, Beehive, just 30' from the boardwalk, erupted with a roar, sending a 200' high column of water cascading onto a 50' section of the boardwalk -- I could literally feel the ground shaking under my feet. The bright light of the setting sun danced diamond-like through the glistening spray, producing a complete double rainbow so brilliant that I felt I could actually reach out and touch it. Although it was all over in 5 minutes, Beehive's eruption was phenomenal!!!
I Love You Mother Earth!!!.........Even though she could kill me in a second, this is still one awesome planet.
Exactly xD
I LIVE IN LA AND SEE THESE ALL THE TIME WHEN SOMEONE NAILS A FIRE HYDRANT
are u serious ?
lol
XD
Urban geyser 😆
That's a lot of pressure, and it lasts a good while. Worth seeing for sure. The geysers are always changing, fun to go back and see what's been going on.
I love this geyser so much! Its just perfect in every way...

عليه.خان.ويديو.ډيره.خواخه.شواله......
And just a few Kilometers down under is a Super Volcano. .... That's the reap story lol
Beautiful place the kids had so much fun but the strong egg smell took time to get used to
Wow looks so inviting, I would definitely want to go into that jacuzzi
Been to Yellowstone twice, but never got to see Beehive erupt, thanks!
Thanks for your comment. If you happen to go to the Park again, here are a few things you can do in improve your chances of seeing Beehive and the others that are sometimes hard to catch.
#1: Go to the Geysertimes.org database and look for Beehive's current eruption trends. Here the link: geysertimes.org/geyser.php?id=Beehive
#2: Carry a two-way radio tuned to channel 4.5 or 4.05. This is the both the Visitor Center's channel and the GOSA (Geyser Observation Study Association) channel. It's used by the "geyser gazers" who monitor the Upper Geyser Basin activity and populate the database linked above. If you hear one of the following over the radio, you have approximately 15-minutes to either get to Geyser Hill or at least within viewing distance of Beehive: "Water in Indicator's vent" (with occurs about 1 to 2-minutes before indictor's eruption), and "Eruption of Indicator" (which gives gazers about 15-minutes (but no promise) advance notice of Beehive's eruption).
During this year's Fall visit to Yellowstone, I was able to catch 5 of the 7 eruptions of Beehive that occurred from September 25 through October 1, 2022.

A few years back by sheer dumb luck we just happened to be passing by when the indicator started spouting. A ranger who was there told us we should hang around. He was right. It was the highlight of my time in Yellowstone.
Wow very nice. I always wanted to try to take a beehive shower lol
You can get 30 feet close to the main vent? Awesome! WOW! Thanks for sharing
Where's the guy crying cause of the double rainbow??
I was here last year and i saw the actual geyser itsself sputter a bit, idk what that means or anything but i had no clue this was a timeable geyser
Beautiful video.
Thanks for sharing
Geysers are so cool.
IT MADE A DOUBLE RAINBOW OMG
hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahah
Gay
Colorful rainbow so cool
I like that there is a mini geyser
great video i have watched several videos of yellowstone , hayden valley , lamar valley the geysers the falls actually using the word spectacular doesnt cover yellowstone i havent seen anything like it
That is a picture 📷 perfect geyser 👍.
I think it's awesome
What's there to dislike about this ?
Impresionante,y ahora mas activo
Good quality
Those geysers are releasing pressure. Hopefully that means no super volcano eruption.
2:19 and the rainbow is god's promise never to curse the earth with geysers again. what?
Wendywiliamsthesecond
wow. Are you in like 4th grade? You have to be because you totally don't understand my comment.
@@idnijd5592 geysers erupted and caused the flood
Awesome
I was there then! I didn't find me in your video though lol
I wish I had something like Beehive's indicator in my yard.
aryanson here is a super volcano under all geysers
Super bro
Es normal lo que dura o hay diferencias de tiempo y fuerza?
Nice..thanks..
What's the temp of the water? Was it still hot? Or warm as it's blowing? Im going there this August and looking forward to it.

An answer to your question and a few tips on catching Beehive’s (and other) spectacular eruptions:
The water exiting the cone is approximately 195⁰F (90.5⁰C), so obviously if you were hit by that it would not be a good thing. But by the time Beehive’s water column tops out at around 160’ - 190’ (49m - 58m) and returns to the ground, it cools considerably; my estimate would be somewhere around 70⁰F (21⁰C) or lower. There are two large geysers in the upper basin
that are extremely close to the boardwalk and, if you choose, you can get quite drenched standing under their spray; Beehive Geyser, and Fan & Mortar. Just be aware that their water contains significant amounts of silicate which will damage your camera or eyeglass lenses if not immediately cleaned off.
Your best chance of catching Beehive’s eruption is to carry a handheld radio (walkie talkie) tuned to channel 4.5 - this is the Visitor Center / Geyser Gazer channel, and will help you be aware of any significant activity in the Upper Basin, and also a few reports on events happening in the other basins as well. If you hear on the radio that Beehive’s Indicator has sprung to
life, you generally have somewhere between 5 and 20 minutes before Beehive’s eruption. Another tool that can be helpful is geysertimes.org, which in the summer is updated almost hourly, and can help you identify current geyser eruption patterns
(if there are any).
My wife and I used both the radio and geysertimes.org to capture a two-camera shot of Beehive last year - we stationed one camera on the river viewing platform and the other about 50’ from the geyser: th-cam.com/video/SVCeEoOb9lk/w-d-xo.html. Listening to the radio also allowed us to capture a rare eruption and deep-drain of Opal Pool, located in the Midway Geyser Basin: th-cam.com/video/68pZ5T8DMOs/w-d-xo.html
Enjoy your trip, and hopefully you’ll also capture something
you can share with everyone online.
Daniel Williams When I was there, people wear raincoats near the Beehive Geysere :D
How often do they burst, how long do they burst.
Here's the latest data on Beehive:: geysertimes.org/geyser.php?id=Beehive. It's currently been going off about every 15 hours, with a duration of approximately 5 minutes.

rainbow is gods promise he will never flood the earth
+80Dantheman You can make one yourself easily enough with a hose spray.
Yes been there around the block several times danke
But what i learned from the bible gods one of gods promise he will never flood the each by the rainbow that appears in mid air by water its wierd why does it appear is the question
It's to do with the way light gets refracted and reflected internally. It isn't basic physics but it follows the known laws of physics and isn't weird at all. It would be weird if it didn't happen. I don't know when it was first understood. Certainly not before Newton, so it's understandable people were a bit baffled by it back then.
Netflix: are you still watching
Someone's son:
It's like when my prostate's not swollen.
Esta muy pro
I could see where the rainbow ends on the right side - but I couldn't see the pot of gold. . . .
Phong cảnh đẹp thiên nhiên thật là tuyệt vời
How long does it burst?
Billy Bob Bunton About 5 minutes, not counting Beehive Indicator's action prior to Beehive's eruption -- which in this video would have add an additional 15 minutes to the whole sequence.
+Daniel Williams In the event of an eruption lasting more than 4 hours, consult a geologist.
+Brian Garrett bruh
Amazing my name is geyser and in fact it represents me❤❤❤
Wertvolle Energie die genutzt werden könnte... das wäre mein erster Gedanke... und da springen bestimmt einige viele Watts raus an Energie...in welcher Form auch immer...
really its good
WOWOOOWOOWWOWW!!!!!!!!!!!
How long is it from the indicator going off until the geyser eruption
Generally it's about 15-minutes from the start of Indicator to the start of Beehive, but can be less, and occasionally Beehive goes off without Indicator erupting. If you go to the GeyserTimes database, you can track the history of Indicator and Beehive start times: geysertimes.org/.
This looks like a lava domeBut it spits out water and steam and it has an irrupt it for 1 million years so then he just spits out water and steam extremely fast
& a rainbow too ?
Does it burn the skin if so how bad?
No, by the time the water falls back to the ground it has cooled significantly and feels warm or even cool. Beehive is one of several geysers in the Upper Basin where you can get a shower -- other geysers that rain back down on the boardwalk are Lion, Castle, and in particular Fan and Mortar. On the other hand, where you can feel the heat on your skin is when strong winds blow the steam off of geysers and hot pools over the boardwalks -- I had this happen last year at Artemisia Geyser; I got caught for about 10-seconds in the steam cloud coming off the eruption (the viewing area is about 40' away and 20' above the geyser's pool -- so on a windy day it's not uncommon to get enveloped by the steam) and the heat on my skin was very intense (hot) and uncomfortable, but left no lasting affects.
Daniel Williams how long does beehive erupt
Baby 🌋
Nobody :
Me : a double rainbow!!!
I love cheese
It has hot water
Que daora
A rainbow is a cricle
Great video! Just wondering, why would a geyser be a "she"?
For obvious reasons...
Sam Haas: a "Geyser"....really is a Masculine Gender word, tho. Like the Egyptian gods, 'Osiris'...and.. 'Min' (
Ger Hijo ....its is Masculine.
William Watson Thank you! Conversation about facts and knowledge, rather than patronizing and erroneous disqualification is always much more productive and enjoyable. :D
Sam Haas not to me. Just sounds like a sexist perspective.
Double rainbow all the way
algun traductor de comentarios? xD
Erasmo Candelario sorry but no.
this is me after eating chipotle
1:14
like y suscribete
Stop saying about the double rainbow
THERE IS A FUCKING SUPERVOLCANO THAT IS GOING TO ERUPT
Boys cant only under stand🙂
Lol
AEEEEEEEEEEH
Quente mata
Hello Daniel, we are interested in possibly licensing some footage from this for a commercial. Would you mind getting back to me at brandi@stalkr.com so I can give you more details? Thanks! Brandi
