If I Hadn't Caught It On Camera You Wouldn't Have Believed Me

Another awesome day in North Alabama today friends. After really rough day yesterday, with tornadoes running all through the state, we are out catching a huge honeybee swarm from a cedar tree.
I can't believe it myself that this is the second swarm I've caught so far and both queens were captured before I ever shook the branch. This is really making swarm catching fun.
I hope you all are enjoying my 2021 Bee season kickoff with these swarm shakes. I sure am. I believe it puts me ahead of my buddy's Jpthebeeman, 628DirtRooster and Jeff Horchoff. Although I know they will catch up quick, it's nice to lead the race at some point.
Enjoy everyone and I hope you enjoyed a little fun from Yappybeeman.

I get calls like this all the time, something flying in a small hole and it looks like bees or yellow jacket wasps. sometimes even for a squirrel or a raccoon. I enjoy every new experience when it comes to removing bees from structures. Construction obstacles always seem to challenge me with every job. As a bee remover, I find the good and bad in construction design. Some things look great but make it easy for bees to set up shop and call it home also. Other times, bees move in due to a lack of home maintainace. But no matter the reason, Yappy Beeman is ready to come rescue the honey bees.

Check out my friends video channels also. Jpthebeeman , 628Dirtroosterbees and Jeff Horchoff for some more great honey bee videos.

Yappy with the help of his great friend and mentor; JpTheBeeman, a professional beekeeper , has learned many skills to remove bee swarms and honey bee colonies safely for the bees and homeowners alike.

Please go watch this incredible swarm catch where these folks just bought this house and some bees tried to move in with them. Awesome footage you won't believe!!!!

People think cat ladies are weird, but they ain’t got shit on bee guys.

[Junseo]

Imagine being a Worker Bee and saying: "Ayo, where's the queen?"
Then your entire city just explodes

[anniekinsmishkamouse]

"They're pissed."
Might be the understatement of the century.

[ludwigmises]

If I tried a stunt like that, neighbors would be reporting a disturbing bee-covered humanoid frantically zig-zagging down the road.

[jennabunny]

He's apologizing for not having a cameraman, but I can't imagine a cameraman wanting to stand there in a swarm of bees~

[seriousnorbo]

If this guy would encounter a fire, he would just grab a handful of it and say "yeah, it's pretty warm"

[aff]

I love how chill most bees are. A giant comes in, pulls them away from the rest of the clump, kidnaps the queen, then get shaken off like an earth quake by said giant, and you get what, 5 stings?

[puttentanesame]

"Ooooo, they're pissed..." Nerves of steel, dude!

[choochoopicklepie]

“Hope they don’t get mad”

*proceeds to body slam them aggressively onto his truck after kidnapping their queen*

[SuperFudgeproduction]

Imagine being the person who knows nothing about bee relocation, calling a professional, and watching a guy just climb on top of his truck and shake the hive.

[FirstLastFirstLast]

I remember seeing this video around when it came out and thought you were insane
A couple months later i started university (agriculture) and randomly took a beekeeping class in third semester, couldve been influenced by this video in the back of my mind lol. Very interesting stuff, im glad i took the class. Its funny rewatching now and understanding everything thats going on, except when you said you had no suit wtf man 😂

[lethakobulnicky]

My Grandfather raised bees he would go out to find his bees and come back with his arm completely covered. It was a beautiful thing to watch. Thank you for taking care of the bees! Brings back beautiful memories!

[reuelstone]

If it took him 1 minute and 16 Seconds to find the queen,
Imagine how fast he could find Barry the bee.

"Test their temperament"

Proceeds to shove bare skinned hand into a mass of Bees.

[ItsWhatevers]

You missed a punny opportunity:

If I hadn't caught it on camera you wouldn't hive bee-lieved me.

[baruhelitzur]

the fact he takes bees with his bare hands is incredible. i'm amazed

[heartsfrombvb]

i like how he's more concerned about the quality of the video rather than being swarmed by thousands of bees

[jajajjaajael]

He's more serious about apologizing to the audience for having a shaky camera while he just pissed off an entire hive literally seconds ago, gigachad madman spotted.

I have a friend who is a beekeeper. Always been fascinated. Unfortunately I’m allergic to several different type of bees/wasps/hornets. I’ve been stung by a honey bee once and didn’t have much of a reaction but don’t want to chance it . Even with “sting proof suits” I hear you still get it. I live vicariously through people like you
