Mr. Ed and I started a swarm catching competition last year and he swamped me with his numbers which were mostly swarm box captures. Well I got to thinking about how he beat me and realized he took the easy way around. All my captures, which were about half what he claimed to have caught, were real actual swarm captures caught by shaking or manually moving them into a box. Yappy Beeman and I took the opportunity in this video to take a few good jabs at Mr. Ed for his 2018 start hanging swarm boxes everywhere. I felt like he needed a reality check and I hope you'll join me by going to his KZfaq channel "Jeff Horchoff" and telling him he can't claim he caught a fish if he scoops it out if the tank at PetSmart. Keep it clean. Mr. Ed and I a re really good friends and this is all in fun.
I think I'm going to get Mr. Ed a t-shirt that says shaking ain't faking on the front and any questions on the back with a picture of Yappy Beeman on it.

Good catch Randy, got one yesterday that swarmed from one of my hives. Huge white oak up about 18’ no way to get them from ladder, put pallet in the forks of my tractor loader got me closer to them. Wound up throwing a ratchet strap over the limb and pulling it down enough for me to hand scoop them into a hive box. Got the queen and bees and only took 2 stings on the hand. Good day!

Rooster, you set yourself up for Mr. Ed to beat you last year. When you take a challenge or make a bet you have to hedge the outcome. He used his resources for boxes and materials (coffin scraps) :) and being a full time apiarist to hedge the challenge in his favour. Lay down some rules. Only count cut outs and swarms over 8' above ground with no bait boxes. And swarms collected with Wreck It Ralph don't count. I think you'll get him. :) Jeff we love you but Randy lost a round and needs moral support. Best to you both in 2018. You guys are great fun and provide tremendous knowledge to the world of bee keeping. Thank you both for your time posting these videos.

I used a cardboard box I pulled out of nearby trash pile climbed 4m up a tree cut surrounding branches and bent the branch down to the box and gave it a shake. In they went , home they came to a Warre hive, all settled in. Thanks for giving me the confidence. Real swarm ketchin apparently :)

After about the tenth time you've climbed the pear tree to get a swarm the light bulb goes off. You get a deer stand and put a box that's baited with swarm commander. The problem is that you need two boxes on that tree. Learned last year. Was on the ladder getting the swarm when my buddy asked, "why didn't they go in the box". I looked down and said, "another swarm got there first" and we got a double today.

Better to have it and not need it then need it and not have it! I swear the more videos I watch, the more you sound a whole lot like myself! Not sure if that’s a good thing or not? lol Tell it like it is, no sugar coating it! If you can’t handle the truth then you are in for it. Say what you mean and mean what you say! Look em in the eyes, Give a good firm handshake and your word, and then you keep it! I tell you what I think and if can’t handle it oh well to bad! I will never say something behind your back and then not say it to your face... if you don’t have something good to say about someone best to keep you’re mouth shut! LOVE YOUR VIDEOS!

Tow strap hack - take the receiver out of the hitch, push the tow strap loop into the receiver and put the pin through the loop. Won't come off the ball then.

I suppose it's ok for using this "hack" to tie your tent to but plz don't try hauling or towing anything with weight that way. If you do make sure nobody that you love is anywhere nearby.

I am not as egotistical as Mr Yappy. I don't care if the swarm is attracted to a bait hive, is shaken down or even flies down to your hive body as soon as you drive up and tip you $1 each as they march in. A swarm is a swarm - how you gather it up is totally immaterial. Any fool can catch and hive a swarm, but it takes a real bee man to help them stay alive and thrive afterwards.

Did you know that in ancient Greece they use to keep bee hives on naval ships? They were used as a naval weapon. Once launched onto an enemy ship, the bees would sting all the oarsman causing them to jump overboard to flee the stings.

They get to ride for a little bit but eventually they wander around the cabin while the seat belt light is still. Then the captain cracks a window and they get sucked out into the night. Much like DB Cooper no one really knows what happened to them. lol

See I'm building bunch of boxes. Nucs that will need fed. If I can just set jars on migratories. That would save me amazing time and money. Is this correct that I can? And I always stopped when I find queen. Or dump em straight in box. Others say there is most always more than 1? Figured you would know %?

I have an idea for you get a 12 Volt vacuum (or an inverter) and a nice long hose on a telescopic paint roller handle. You have the bee trap for your vacuum and you can stay safely on the ground and suck them all up. Good hunting.
