Getting Swarmy | Live Free or Die


a good-sized swarm Jesus look at them
all they’re still coming out of the
entrance it’s honey season in the
mountains of North Carolina homesteaders
Tony and Amelia are banking on a major
harvest this year I can really smell the
honey yeah no it smells like a honey
everywhere right now
I want them to start looking for a new
home before we catch them whoa but if
you look up towards the Sun you can feel
beasts warm when they are ready to
propagate to themselves so they’ll take
their population of let’s say 10,000 and
half of them will leave with a new queen
I wonder if the Queens out yet I’m
watching for they go out find a new
location to live in and they build
themselves a new house in hopes that the
next year they could have a swarm and do
the same thing
I think she’s gonna land right in that
tree yeah that’s the spot she must be up
in there somewhere there you go they’re
zeroing in on it
that’s almost landed that’s a good-sized
one so once we see them swarming the
plan of action is to get an empty hive
box there’s this hive
get up into the tree where they’ve
swarmed into and not the swarm into the
new hive every minute is a minute that
the scouts are looking for a place to
move to so the clock’s ticking once they
leave their mother colony Oh
oh my god we have two swarms happening
at the same time in the same tree two
swarms in one tree I’ve actually never
seen this before
twice the bees twice the risk yeah well
let’s get let’s get this one first yes
the two swarm to right up against each
other so this is a little sketchy we go
one big risk is that we shake one branch
and shakes the other branch the other
swarm falls off and lands on one of us
go to your left just a little bit if
something goes wrong like a big fall on
your head or they fall on your body or
they fall anywhere and just get really
upset
that’s like thousands of bees all
singing you at once going in
when you shake either one really hard
shake and that helps to ensure that the
clean comes off she’s in the middle got
it
two three
