Early Spring Swarm Invades Alabama Home

The day has finally arrived. We are in full swing and I have finally got my first call for a swarm of honeybees that decided to move into a place they shouldn’t bee.
Enjoy this first episode, because I didn’t! What started out as a routine job turned into a swarm removal nightmare. The construction of this Mid-Century home, although beautiful, was a setup for disaster. When the call came in, the homeowner said that bees were getting into the house but didn’t know how. I offered some suggestions and they helped greatly. But I couldn’t be there until the next day.
When I arrived, everything seemed pretty normal. Bees in a eve, easy to get to and removal should go smooth. Until I opened it up. I found the bees had plenty of places to hide run. And they did. Making my search for the one most important bee to catch even harder to find. The Queen bee.
But I never give up. My queen finding skills are pretty good and up until today, I thought this would add to my catch perfection. Or would she leave me empty handed. Let’s go find out. The answers are all in the video. Hope you enjoy.




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]
