It was wonderful to see this and for me, a non beekeeper, to realise the intense sound difference of the swarm as it dropped into its new home and then you mentioned their sound after they’d settled….was just amazing. Thank you so much.

Those ladies were fanning the moment they hit the box. Id say the queen went in 1st try.

I like to put a white sheet on the grass, under the box. It’s easy to see any that land in the grass. You also can watch them march into the box❤

The noise of busy bees makes me so very happy! Beekeeping is truly my greatest joy on my farm. You have always inspired me and continue to do so! Thank you!

Well, i caught some empty new queen cups on an inspection 2, 3 weeks ago. Put a super on and some blank frames. Swarmed anyway into my neighbors yard while we were out of town. By the time we got home 30 to 40 minutes later they were gone. Good on you for catching yours... You inspire me to be a better beekeeper.

Am I the only one that found that drop amazingly satisfying. I appreciate these videos in general but man something very satisfying about seeing the catch

Watching you catch swarm is so much fun love when you work with your bees.

I think I managed to get lucky, one hive didn't survive over winter, so in the process of cleaning it out I had a swarm form and take over the abandoned hive I was cleaning. I had a lucky break there, especially as right above it, I had a nuc with a few frames inside it getting ready to move into a brand-new hive!

So, bar the honey jars, I think I'm mostly all set this year.

Always happy with new bee videos. Thank you.

I always listen to my bees. When doing inspection i know when they've had enough of my intrusion lol

I can't believe that you mentioned duct tape. I've currently got a (salvaged from the freeway) ladder duct tape to my mesquite tree on top of pallets on top of my big old flatbed farm truck trying to get what I thought was a swarm but really is now an established hive in the tree.

Catch yerself some bees!" all the various YouTube beekeepers said. . .

"It'll be fun!!" They said. . .

I'm learning, (the hard way) filming and uploading as I go. .

Your mother is beautiful, you look so much like her. My heart becomes warm to see what a good job she did raising you and how your wisdom led you to follow her example. 2 smart and beautiful women. <3

Same thing happened, 2 in the same tree about a week apart. That looked like a decent sized swarm. You are spot on in that just listening will tell you so much. Good tips on keeping swarms in a box. I did kill a Queen, had Mated Queens ordered so just replaced her and all is well.

[davidmartin]

What a wonderful video ... thanks for the tips as well

Lucky are bees having this lady as mom, very gentle. Very right, WHEN YOU ARE BEE KEEPER BE FLEXIBLE.

[jamierabena]

Great job but don't forget about a water source old carpet laid out like a beach on irrigation areas during spring pollinization will have more bees drinking water then pollinizing blooms oh and till dandelions during bloom they will take over and attract more then bloom good luck and this is great I love humans like y'all

[strugglingbeekeepermarkcot]

You two make a great team keep up the good work ladies. Hope they do well for you all.

[thehturt]

Nice Bz Bz🐝. A good and easy catch! An almost beekeeper's dream. 🍀

[jamestownsendjrtbees]

That's a good size swarm. I thought I was on top of everything in my apiary yet 3 swarms so far. I was able to hive all 3 but each was a different situation. I really want to keep them from swarming but it's so much fun catching them. I add a frame of brood from another colony and that seems to anchor them. Good luck with your bees!

[loveofchrist]

Congratulations on the new swarm catch but I have a interesting question and I hope you can kind of give me guidance on this one. Let’s say you have 6 acres of land out in the country and you’re starting up a bee sanctuary I forgot what they call that Avery something like that but to make a long story short let’s say you hear a guy in your 6 acres and he says my bees just swarmed on one of your trees but you caught it so what do you do then tell him that you caught a swarm or do you tell them losers weepers or what are you doing a situation like that do you let him take them or do you keep them because I think it’s open free game right? God bless you young lady once again congratulations for you and your mom and your family and friends stay safe✝️✝️✝️
