Welcome back to another episode of my fun with honeybees. I am Yappy Beeman.

In this bee removal video, I head down to Birmingham, Alabama to remove a hive of bees in a column of a house. The homeowner had only noticed the bees for the past few weeks. They were prepping the house to sell and found them. Gratefully they found me and gave us a chance to see them upclose and personal and rehome them safely.
Many have seen some of my videos where I collect swarms hanging in trees and ask, why not just leave them alone. Bees prefer an environment in side of something wood. Trees are the best for them but when not available they find the next best thing. In this case, the porch column. At some point, some kinda critter made a hole in the wood that opened up the internal void and the bees found it. Based on their numbers and the color of the comb ( the darker the comb, the longer they've been there) they had been established a few months.
Thankfully they were in a great mood. Honeybees can and will sting. mostly as a last defense but they can for any reason. Being up on that ladder, I was very glad they were nice.
My goal for this channel is to share that not all honeybees are "killer bees" I am blessed to not have that genetic in my area or known to be in my state. I deal basically with European Genetics and they are not as aggressive but can be very defensive sometimes. SO PLEASE DO NOT TRY THIS AT HOME. I have worked with bees for about 10 years and was trained by one of the best bee removers in the country.

Over time, honey bee colonies grow larger. As they do, their overall numbers grow also. Catching an infestation and removing them professionally is the best answer. If a colony ever dies, they leave behind large amounts of honey that can attract other critters such as roaches, beetles and moths. This could lead to a large mess when they try to break into the honey causing it to seep through the voids and into the home.

I hope you enjoyed this experience with me, watch as I work to remove a colony of honeybees.
