Saving a Swarm of Bees

A swarm of bees settled on this table in someone’s backyard and I was called to remove them. Learn all about swarms, why they happen and what you can do to help them as I scoop these bees off the table and into a hive!

You would think watching someone scoop bees would make you anxious but this is very calming

Honestly I almost have zero interest in bees. But I find myself watching these videos. I didn't even know beekeeping was interesting until I came across your channel. Thank you. Keep up the good work.

I will never get over watching her scoop bees with her bare hand

As I get older, one thing is becoming more and more clear to me. Every year it seems, more and more people are understanding the importance of bees and how precious they are. Everyone is getting the message to not harm them and if a swarm comes and rests in your backyard....don't grab a can of spray to kill them....call a pro to safely come and get them and move them to their new home like you did.

Thank you.

I’ll never get tired of hearing, and it was another great day of saving the bees ❤

I love these videos so much. I could watch them day and night. This gentle voice telling me about bee removal is just awesome. Thanks.

[jodidavis]

She really is a miracle wrkr. Thank God for her. Every time I watch and listen to her I learn something valuable about the importance of bees. I’ve always planted tons of flowers and flowering bushes for bees and butterflies. I get made fun of but I know why I do what I do..to help save the beeeezzzz 🥰

I know these videos are slightly older, but I just recently found out how calming they are. whenever I'm having a crazy day and need to stop and calm down for a second, I find one of your videos saving the bees. it really helps me a lot. so, thank you. and thank you for saving them. their work is essential, and so is yours.

When I was a child, visiting my nearby grandparents, I cycled through a huge swarm of bees. I may have only been about 12 years old, but I knew they weren’t threatening and I marvelled at the swarm until the queen landed on a nearby tree. My grandparents were shouting and screaming to get in their house (they never understood simple biology), and eventually went in the house. I tried to explain to them that bees are not aggressive insects, and a swarm is just a natural process. Eventually, a beekeeper came and took them into a new hive along with their queen. I’ll never forget that moment as a child on a bike, completely surrounded by bees 🐝 😊. It was a beautiful sight.

I LOVE bees! Every time I see a bee I start talking to it as if it understands what I am saying " Hellooo young lady!. " " You GO girl!" etc They're amazing!

[brianmcwhorter]

You are the Joan of Arc of Bees! This does not make you a queen. It makes you the most powerful of worker bee sisters. Thank you for scooping and speaking gently and mesmerizing . We are Borg Bees. You will be assimilated. Resistance is futile.

[SageandStoneHomestead]

Wonderful! We caught a swarm a couple months ago, straight out of one of our hives!

First time I saw one of your videos, I was surprised how you could move these bees without being hurt by them. Then I watched another video of a guy doing the same, but he was all dressed. The difference was that he wasn’t gentle like you. You take the BEES’s TIME to move them. You don’t hush them, so they have time to adapt and understand the moving situation. He was doing what he wanted to do and I’m sure that, if he wasn’t all dressed the bees would attack him. Thank you for being kind with these precious little ones! 😊😘🙏🏻🙏🏻

[lindaross]

Its comforting to know how this is going to go. No scary things. I relax and know she will save them. She has no fear just kindness. We can learn to treat each other that way.

I love watching you gently scoop the bees up in your hands, it’s almost mesmerising to watch. I’ve only just found your channel but you’re on the top of my list now. Thank you so much for saving as many bees as possible. Not many know it but bees are really the structure of our food chain in so many ways. By helping to keep the colonies alive and thriving you are literally saving us all. Wonderful channel, thank you so much 👍❤️

[SindyJ]

This one was a tear jerker. Thank you Erika for all you do for the bees

[robinbabcock]

Your narration is so calm and collective, just like your bee collecting skill. Truly appreciate what you do ❤️

[AriOfTheStars]

I’m terrified of bees, so I really respect that there’s some people out there that aren’t scared of them. Keep up the good work!

[amgoudman]

The family did the exact right thing. If you see a swarm, it's a great idea to see if you have a local apiarist. This person can then come and get them and give them a new safe home.

We had a hive when we were kids in the backyard. Lived there years and never a sting. I love bees. Thanks for showing how wonderful they are.
