Bees pollinate about 30% of our food crops in NA though, hence why they are high value. Ontop of concerns over dwindling bee population and damage to food crops, it would be tossing money down the toilet to exterminate them. Thanks to CCD, a big hive ready to go would be an ideal acquisition to any beekeeper. The market for bee pollination is so big that hives are transported and set up on farm fields at great cost for efficiency of pollination vs other insects. It's not so much an issue of nature, as an issue of human food when it comes to bees. But thanks to shitty reporting, the original message gets warped.

@@kauske the Evil controlling the world are trying to remove the need for Bees with their extremely unnatural, unhealthy GMO crops. They're removing the process as God created it. That's always a disaster in the end, as it throws a whole system out of balance. A good example of how 1 change creates a waterfall of changes us the documentary "How Wolves Changed A River". Removing Wolves from Yellowstone cause changes just not imaginable. Different critters took over, the land suffered. There's a short version, like 10 minutes, and. Longer 30 minute version. I recommend the longer one.

@@jeffcampbell2710 What are you even talking about you blithering idiot? There's not a god-damned thing wrong with GMO crops, there' is no fundamental difference between crops genetically engineered via selective breeding and ones modified in a lab. The actual issue is overuse of pesticides weakening bees and making them susceptible to parasites and sickness. Who would have thought bugs would be vulnerable to chemical weapons meant to kill bugs? The problem is, without pesticides we lose so much of our crops to pests we'd starve. Genetically modified crops that are in and of themselves resistant to pests but not deadly to pollinators are the answer, not the problem. god damn, how the hell is our world so full of ignorant people like you who don't understand the first thing about science but think they're somehow a genius?

Oh okay, I thought we were zooming in on the open window.

Was he trying to snag a bee looked like it

628DirtRooster Bees I saw that too! Was he stalking a bee or two?

one of the neatest things that have seen is a dragonfly catching flying ants out of the air and all you could see was the wings falling to the ground, they are an aggressive predator.

I was thinking bees in her bonnet too, but no!

DeepPastry i see what you did there

Thats punny-ish

GrumpleStiltskin 😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣

Reminded me of my fridge...

Jess French it would've definitely been cool, no doubt 👍

Jess French exactly what I was thinking and it looks fairly brand new. I wouldn’t want my kitchen torn up either.

I appreciate that a lot. Thank you for watching, much appreciated! ✌️🐝

😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀

Swamp cooler

Evelyn Mitchell thank you! 👍🐝

Tom Knapp to you & yours as well Tom 👍

National Geographic, I agree, then he could go all over the world! You're one of a kind JP=Bee whisperer😊🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝

He should have his own show on Netflix.

He's doing it in a shortsleeve friggin T-shirt, shoveling bees with a putty knife and a bare hand. This man is touching. How much love You gotta bring to be loved back like that from those creatures.

Only for jp if that were me I'd be I'd be stung a thousand times

@Rand Not "Tame", lol, the word you're looking for, is 'Docile'. 👍😆

@@JarodMoonchild1975 Tame; not dangerous or frightened of people. Docile; ready to accept control or instruction/easily managed or handled. In this context they're interchangeable. Try again.

Stan Lindert I do as well. 😉

yeah wasps are mean and aggressive for no reason. so unlike honey bees

@@sarahtodo Yup. I've never been stung by a yellowjacket, but I'm terrified of them. This year I've had five of them in my flat so far, which is really not good considering I haven't opened any windows! Last month I had four in one week. Had the pest control guy in and he couldn't find any active nests in the loft, so at least there's that. He also had a look at a couple of them that I'd killed with wasp spray - drones, he said. A lot of unfinished nests in the loft from previous years - seems it's a regular hibernating spot for the queens. I asked him to get one of the nests down for me and he did - pretty cool! All the nests failed almost immediately, so there's not much to it, but it's still cool. I hate yellowjackets on a personal level, but I still like them in a science/nature way.

Patsy Sheehan best of luck to you & your husband with your beekeeping endeavors 👍

Michael Utley thank you. 🤘👍🐝

I'm making my own hive boxes

Courtney A I was thinking of you when I added that slo mo. 😉✌️🐝

Appreciate the feedback, glad you enjoyed it!

Rusty Nail I did video the swarm trap, coming soon! 🐝🐝🐝

Jonathan W just subscribed to your channel & will check out more of your videos later on when I have a minute. The one you just uploaded, filmed in 720 or 1080? Talk later brother 👍

1080. Lot of moving around though, I need to use a tripod more. Thanks!

Jonathan W thought so. Thinking of trying to do some 1080 stuff if my processor will allow it. Last time I tried, seemed to slow things down a bunch.

Very slow for sure for me too.

I usually enjoy sharing my enthusiasm for bees with others while I’m working. I feed off their enthusiasm as well.

Kathleen McQuade you sure you haven’t been talking with my mother? 😉

foxylee sammeee

foxylee huh🤔

green Hornet 👍🐝🐝🐝

Get better soon Jeff luv your videos

green Hornet thank you!
