How does THAT...kill them??

One thing I really want to stress, is we NEED honey bees. Every year, I put out several Watering stations for birds, chip monks, etc. When I find bees on them,I literally find out which way they are coming from, and get a couple of cleaned Zaxby's plastic plates, fill them to the top with water, and put them close to the bees. They are on it,and quick. I then get another bowl, and pour it half full with the hummingbird Liquid, and put water in the rest, to the top. For some reason, Honey bees LOVE that stuff. I keep adding Ice to it throughout the day. If I wasn't doing this, I'd hate to see what they'd do.

Thankyou for making this video

omg i just teared up watching that. what a sad day

You took the right decision 💯 % no doubt. Just the thought of screaming kids and pets getting attacked 😢. those are just evil incarnate, that level of aggression is just rarely seen, some might argue you get more honey but at what cost? I went to rescue a hive today that has not been touched for about 10 years, so who knows how many times it swarmed and they were as gentle as my other bees and am hobbyist new to be keeping, statistically they should have been very aggressive but they weren't. So am not sure what caused that particular hive to be this aggressive.

Is you vail unzipped?

He‘s like a grown up Kristi Noem.

But if I understood good, that started to happen when you mixed 2 hives?

Super thankful to have stumbled upon this video. I’m a new beekeeper and having an understanding behind what an aggressive hive can act/look like and how to manage it is valuable information that’s not often discussed. I know your decision to take this hive out was not made lightly. Sorry it had to come to that. But again, very thankful you walked us through the process ❤

Looks like a fatal amount of bees

I think they just got annoyed about being in a cow spotted box 😂

Imagine stumbling upon that. What a nightmare.

"The Needs of the Humans Outweigh the Needs of the Bees." You are doing the right thing for the safety of you and others.

😮

I just bought my first hive, and my bees are on order for next spring. I’ve watched a TON of videos - they are all happy and cohesive. I watched yours and am so glad I did. What if I have to deal with this in the future? Now, I know what I would have to do. Thank you for this video.

Cause you're stealing their hard earned honey..........😅

I could hear them screaming and cussing you in the video.

It wouldn't have bothered me at all. They were nasty.

I think you're a very responsible person that hive was very dangerous small child or even the adult walking past could easily be killed. That was a deadly hive for idiots who think otherwise are living in Cuckoo land most good hive bees are placid, especially in Europe/ UK

There wasn't any farmers who wanted them? Sounds like your area is too suburban and not rural enough for this colony. Painful to imagine and definitely not an easy case to deal with, but thankfully the neighbourhood is a little safer for children and pets.

Great Job Sir, you did the right thing to protect yourself, family, and your neighbors.......🙏🏾🤝🏾🇺🇸💪🏾🫡

I think you made the best decision sad true but it was a liability, no matter where you put it

Did this ruin your foundation?

Im deathly allergic to bees, and this gave me unbelievable anxiety

Happy tame bees do not sound like that even with the super off and a frame in your hand. They woke up every morning and chose violence... 😳

Thank you for making this video. I know how difficult it was because I currently have a very hot hive :( I removed a swarm a few months ago (my first one!) and was so excited! They were aggressive when I removed them and being naïve I was hoping it was because it was still chilly and they had been living wild for over 20 years. This swarm was about 7 pounds of bees! Anyways, I got them set up in two 10 frame deeps and within two weeks they were trying to swarm again! I did a walk-away split and was successful. The split is not the gentlest but definitely not as aggressive as the original. I will keep an eye on them. My husband checked the original yesterday and I warned him that they were very aggressive before he opened the hive. He didn't believe me...sigh. He got stung over ten times in less than 20 seconds and left running for his life. He was not suited up as he usually doesn't when checking our bees. Our other hives are very gentle and we don't even smoke them. Blessedly, I was fully suited when they tried to accost me about two weeks prior to this attack....It was MUCH worse. I had actually pulled frames and that's when all hell broke loose. I calmly replaced the frames, put the hive back together and slowly walked away with sadness because I knew then what I would have to do. I will end this with the reason they were wild. It was an elderly man who kept bees and had a swarm from his hives that stayed in the area and started living wild. Twenty years later, he had long since passed away, and his grandson asked me to remove the swarm that I got. They had been living in an old house for a very long time. This generation after many many generations of bees living wild for so long and having zero human interaction quickly decided that humans are monsters and must be eliminated. And so I will be dispatching this hive after dark. I will keep a very close eye on the split and will most likely be dispatching it too. I do not want these genetics getting into our very gentle hives whatsoever.

Quick question do have a queen excluder in place?

Damn, those bees are worse than yellow jackets!!!

Stop Winging it, his is embarrassing

If at this stage, Abandon, Cleanes, Reset. Start again..

The tell-Tail signs of a novice Keeper :) Keep Smoking your gloves mate :) at this stage with the hive so aggressive smoking is pointless. such an old video. amazing job. The Divider is to keep the queen in the certain "Box area" "

Is this a killer bee? Japanese honeybees and Italian honeybees do not become aggressive like this even if you calmly open the hive.

Yes sir. Bee keeping looks lovely ke a wonderful hobby. Can’t wait to tell the neighbors.

That’s is absolutely a nightmare! I’m glad I didn’t see this before starting 2 hives this spring for the first time! Glad you got rid of them!

MY DAD WAS STUNG IN HIS THROAT BY A YELLOW JACKET AND BECAME EXTREMELY ALLERGIC.SORRY NOT YELLING I lived outside of Tucson in the mid 2000 and went out one morning to walk the dog and a "cloud" of bees were in the back yard away in the desert. Some co workers couldn't get out of their house as a hive decided to build a nest in their tree. I understand the honey making ability but as many other nature interruptions by man with thought to be a great idea (wild hogs, multi floral roses (Indiana) and many more) we are not smarter than nature good intentions don't always equal great results

Read somewhere life is too short for mean bees

Thank you for this valuable Information! As a person considering bee keeping as an assistance in pollinating of my large garden even though we live in a rural area, I will take this information to heart as the different personalities of the hives and how dangerous this can be. My mentor has “ above all” continued to emphasize the understanding of how each QUEEN and the hives can be quite different. I agree it looks as if this was no option for choice. Again, Thank you👨🏻‍🌾🙏🙏

This is pure comedy gold. Uses the wrong kind of gloves, talks to a camera with empty battery, drops the queen bee. Sorry this guy is a bit… clumsy.

Do you like the Warre Hive?

Amazing

Would have been a great video if it wasn't for the 6 tiktok advertisements ,youtube needs to cool it

You do not have the order of supers correct, try again.

I still have this Vhs video somewhere around stores away in a box somewhere. Sure miss Bob Harvey and some of the NJ greats. Bob Hughes hasn't changed much in the last 30 years.

Do the foragers not try to get in your other hives?

Good info!

Likely never having any beekeeping in my future, I still love these videos. Learning about the techniques and considerations for beekeeping or, about bees themselves.

So are you tossing out the frames afterwards? Can’t imagine you would want to reuse them after soaking in detergent.

Looks like these guys figured out we humans are “colonizers” !! Unfortunately, that’s not an option for bees in box, only good for wild bees.. Rip, dear bees 😢 your revolution will be remembered Forever on RUclips..

Thank you for explaining your actions and the decision tree to get there. I have 20 hives and one that is just completely out of control. I took a split off the hive, gave them a new queen and they killed her about 6 days later. They are remarkably similar to the one you shown here. I believe there is a large size Ajax soap purchase in my future.

Just requeen
