Amazing Discovery Found In The Backyard

They Discovered This Hiding In The Bushes And Immediately Called Me

Sometimes Honeybees find the strangest places to call home. Some of these locations are not by choice but they make a go of it anyhow. Open Air colonies are a result of a swarm of bees not able to reach a location they intend to start a new home. Weather is a major factor that can hold them up during their travels. If they stay to long in one place, their need to build comb starts and if they build too much, they don't leave. That is a very basic explanation to how these bees ended up on this families fence. I feel that had a window of about 2 weeks being there based on many factors. Previous weather issues, color of their comb and the stages of the larva in the cells.
I hope you enjoy this experience as much as I did. Finding a colony out in the open like this is a beekeepers dream and a natural thing of beauty.
How amazing!!! When I got the call from a warehouse in North Alabama about a honey bee issue they were having, I tried to picture how a colony of bees could move into a void space between a loaded pallet. The fact they had only known the bees to have been there for a few days made it just as interesting. In my mind, it was just bees enjoying the salts from the bags on the pallets. maybe....
So off to the bees I go. When I got on location I saw a bigger issue than the pictures they sent. There were A BUNCH of bees and they weren't just visiting. in fact, I would soon realize they had been there a lot longer than 4 days.
And so the story goes and the video rolls. Hope you enjoy this episode with Yappy Beeman and another colony of bees in places they don't need to bee.

I hope you enjoy it as much as I did and remember, I am a trained professional.....wink wink. Don't try this at home. or anywhere else for that matter.

Honeybees can always be dangerous and it is not recommended to attempt to remove them with experience with bees or construction knowledge.
I hope you enjoy this little bit of fun. I enjoy your feedback in the comments and thank you for taking the time to check out my channel. Until the next time, enjoy the show.

Yappy Beeman is a professional bee remover performing live honey bee removals in Alabama as "Alabama Bee Rescue" and relocates them to apiaries away from residential areas so they can rebuild and thrive as a honey bee colony producing honey. Yappy is an Alabama Beekeepers association member that has performed over 1000 live bee removals. Yappy with the help of his great friends Jpthebeeman, 628 Dirtrooster bees, Jeff Horchoff and many others, I have learned many skills to remove bee swarms and honey bee colonies safely for the bees and home owners alike.

Here is a little bee educational material for ya.
Africanized honey bees (known colloquially as "killer bees") are hybrids between European stock and the East African lowland subspecies A. m. scutellata; they are often more aggressive than European honey bees and do not create as much of a honey surplus, but are more resistant to disease and are better foragers.[23] Accidentally released from quarantine in Brazil, they have spread to North America and constitute a pest in some regions. However, these strains do not overwinter well, so they are not often found in the colder, more northern parts of North America. The original breeding experiment for which the East African lowland honey bees were brought to Brazil in the first place has continued (though not as originally intended). Novel hybrid strains of domestic and re-domesticated Africanized honey bees combine high resilience to tropical conditions and good yields. They are popular among beekeepers in Brazil.
Honey bees appear to have their center of origin in South and Southeast Asia (including the Philippines), as all the extant species except Apis mellifera are native to that region. Notably, living representatives of the earliest lineages to diverge (Apis florea and Apis andreniformis) have their center of origin there.[7]
