You know those times when you find yourself in a random part of the internet? That's right now. Only now I wanna start my own colony. It's fascinating :P

a comb bucket, a sittin on bucket, and a hand washin bucket the lord of buckets

Wait he did this without a suit, chief I think this is it

Just a southern man vacuuming up bees on his ‘sittin on bucket.’ Nothing outta the ordinary.

u should put a sting counter on your videos

I love how gentle you are. Thanks for saving the bees.

*This dude takes down a bee hive with thousands of bees no problem with NO bee suit.* *I run into 1 bee and I run like someone just pulled a gun on me.*

It's satisfying to hear him say "bucket"

Every year, when I was young, my school would do that fundraiser where you send animal's to people in Africa. And every year I'd fight to send bees. I always lost to the people who wanted to send a cow. We'd raise enough to send maybe one cow, but the same amount could send several hives. My argument was always that sending a lot of bees did more good than sending one cow, cause you can eat and sell honey. And if you sent several hives, you're handing someone a business. Where as one cow could only feed a family for a while. I think I always lost because the bees were a lower cost and therefore seemed less prestigious. Every class wanted to be the one that raised enough to send a cow. I also think it was fueled by sentiment, a large mammal just seems more valuable, when to me sending as many bees as we could would do the most good for the most people. It still bugs me that I couldn't argue that point better. Ad that every year the perceived superiority of sending a cow won out.

You got balls to be doing that without any protective gear, steel balls.

I'm just amazed at how Bee Keeping is. When I was a little girl, there was a older gentleman that used to go to my Grandparents house. If he knew I was there, he'd bring me a jar of honey with a comb in it. And a beautiful Apple from one of his trees. I was sad when he passed on, I was really sad. But that Man made me fascinated with Bee Keeping. Where I live we aren't allowed to keep bees. But one day ... I hope I can.

I love that he gives information as he goes. Really good video

"I got a comb bucket, a sittin'-on bucket, and a hand washing bucket." A sittin'-on bucket is the most important of all the buckets. This guy is a pro.

Any body else felt like there were bees climbing all over you

1.4 million views... I could see your love for the bees in how you patiently took them out. Nicely done. I would love to have some honeybees but I'm in city limits. 8( This was a beautiful hive. 8)

I love the friendly rivalry between you and Mr Ed. If I wasn't highly allergic to bee venom I would definitely keep bees. In the meantime, I'll live vicariously through y'all.

i have a phobia of bees yet im fascinated by them. was great to watch

idk why this is so satisfying

I think the “sitting on bucket” is the most important! 😂

Give this man a medal

*watches a bunch of videos and movies on bees* omg so fascinating!!! I love bees!!!! *sees a single bee somewhere* AHHHH ITS GOING TO KILL ME RUN RUN RUN AWAYYYY

I'M IN THE BEES PART OF KZfaq OHMAHGAWD

These are my favorite types of KZfaqrs just chill people sittin’ on a buck

If a bee gets near me I go ballistic and spastic. Yet you just stand there talking and they fly around you like crazy and it doesn't phase you I am totally amazed and impressed. PS I have subscribed

Sittin' on bucket.

Vacuuming them all up looks extremely satisfying.

Hey my friend.. Dont let anyone put you down. Your doing a great job!! Without the typical Bee honey extractor equipment, your showing great videos on handling. Just watch more vids and read more tutorials.. Your gonna be great!!!

Your voice is so soothing. I don’t know a single thing about bees but this is so satisfying to see

11:09 is my favorite part. Thought you laid a small peep. Turned out it was a bee.

This was really impressive. You are truly good at what you do. This was my first time watching anything like this. You seem to have a heart for the bees. I'm terrified of them and I'll probably never do what you do but I do respect your job.

Its like Bob Ross but handling bees. So relaxing Had to like my own comment cause im lonely 😭😭😭😭😭😫😫😫😫

Thank you for taking care of bees. They are so important to our food.

Not sure how I found my way to this video, but I'm glad I did. Cool channel, dude.

You make me want to start bee keeping. I wonder if they can sense if you are uptight or not. They seemed so docile. You are quite gentle and your voice is so calm and easy on the ears. I hope you have a lot of success with these bees.

cant you wear gloves!!!, there's no way I would have gone *anywhere* near this!!!

5:10 "Dangit, my bees are dirty agin. Oh well." *Gently vacuums bees clean*

a sittin on bucket

smart man, sittin on bucket

So impressed! At first I gave a thumbs down when I saw that shop-vac, but when I realized that the bees were okay with what you were doing then I knew they must be okay, so changed to a thumbs up. That honeycomb with the pollen was SOOOOOOOO beautiful! I'd never seen that before even though I grew up amidst multiple bee keeper neighbors. Now I'm wishing we had set up some hives, too. Thanx for a really great post, I've subscribed!

Hi. I am not a beekeeper but i love learning. I want to say thank you for the respect you show these creatures. Keep up the great work.

Only one sting to the back and half a dozen to the hand? For real? I would of said hell naw after the first sting.

beautiful creatures

More like hurricane tortilla

This is one of those dogs that never gives up he’ll bark through the whole video 😭

laughing really hard at the description "(the bees, not the grand children)."

amazing work i have nothing but respect for those who capture n keep as opposed to those who kill. bees are amazing creatures to be loved n respected!!

You seem to be a true caring bee keeper. God bless and keep you and your family, my friend.

We ALL learn something new every single day! I’ve enjoyed watching you and your Dad. Your wife is adorable! Blessings

It's 2:30 AM and I'm not tired so I was on a related video clicking spree and I ended up here. I don't normally watch bee videos, but this was very interesting to watch and I have to leave a comment commending you on your loyalty to your subscribers and viewers. Not many KZfaqrs have that kind of respect for the community and I scroll down to see that the community is all around amazing so I can see why you enjoy doing this! Great job to you and godspeed to everything that comes your way!

5:37 when you realize your exterminating the biggest bee hive while your beekeeper gear is in the dry-cleaner

I commented down below but wanted to say this here you handle bees like my grandfather did. Its refreshing to see the art of gearless bee relocation is still being done to many people take it for granted when watching you but it is truly a dieing art.

Never kept a bee hive but love them. Love how gentle you were!!!

My neighbor, a old man, never wore a suit and we kids played right in front of the hives and we never got attacked by the bees. I am old now and I want to learn about bees now and want to keep some. Thank you for the video.

I would be beyond horrified to do this.. Even in a full body suit. How does anyone do this while wearing nothing wtf. Props to you

Absolutely love your channel. Just discovered it last night and have been binge watching all of your content. I'm personally terrified of bees, but it's absolutely fascinating to see a whole other side to something you can't normally see from a non-bee keeping perspective. Thanks for contributing something worthwhile to KZfaq. It's a welcomed change. Also, just a side note, I'm more book smart than anything else, but even I can appreciate the amount of intelligence it takes to handle this sort of thing on the multi-faceted levels that obviously apply to safely and effectively performing this sort of job. Don't ever downplay your own intelligence or talents, and especially don't allow others to do so either. Your own far supersedes that of anyone who would dumb themselves down by criticize you for any reason. Remember that, and keep the awesome content coming!!! ♡♡♡

I am so tickled to see this I would just love to try my hand at bee keeping. You are amazing how gentle you are. Thank you. I love watching you and learning. You must have a good eye to be able to spot the queen. I know if were not for people like yourself we would not have food so God bless you for what you do and thanks for sharing.

@11:09 i thought you farted but it was a bee LOL

had to sub bro, this is really awesome, i know its an old video but its still great that you were taking care of the bees so gently, and wow that was one big nest. ill keep watching because this channel is pretty cool :)

This video actually really helped with my phobia of bees

No clue how I started watching bee keeping videos, but now I am addicted! Love your videos!

5:37 dat face

You're my hero. I would never be able to do your job.

You are an amazing human beeing....! Thank you for sharing what you do. So glad for your channel!!!

I love how these bees are like “oh ok we’re doing this now” when you take pieces of the nest.

Awwww what a great hive. I'm glad you were able to remove them without damaging all their hard work.

Beekeeping is so fascinating

I am a recent subscriber, my father kept over 20 hives in other peoples gardens. And ideal locations around town. I like how you can spin a story and teach at the same time. I look forward to more.

Wanted to thank you for taking the time to video what you do and share what you have learned. I plan on keeping bees when I retire and want to learn all I can before I get my first package of bees. Love watching your videos because you are down to earth and enjoy what you do. Linda

Everyone sing with me, hell naw, to the naw naw, naw. hell to the naw.

"They now live at my house" the bees, not the grandchildren

I've always wanted to have beehives....just never had time. About 3 yrs ago I decided "let's do this".... I joined a local beekeepers group, went to meetings & a local keeper here was gonna help set me up at low cost...but, more I learned I figured my current life just wouldn't give me time to see after em...so I decided to wait...again... I'm facing retirement soon so perhaps then.. Your vid inspired me... NONE of those keepers would do what you do. . (no suit or gloves) you're the man! Safe travels... Subscribed

Thanks for sharing this video - it was awesome to see you doing your work with the bees, you seem genuinely happy and thoughtful and naturally talented working with these amazing creatures.

I got shivers all over

why were the bees just chillin why you take apart their home lmao

Thank you for this lovely video! My 4yo son and I have been learning about beekeeping and we both enjoyed this! He says you have a very calm voice so the bees must like you a lot :-)

I was scratching the whole time watching this video. You didn’t wear no suit or no gloves? You have a hell of a gift in life. Most experience I’ve ever seen

No idea how I found your channel, really interesting stuff though, I like it... going to work my way through your videos, thanks for doing them by the way.

"Heavy Huney." 😅😁 Love the southern accent. 🙌

I just happened onto your videos and I love them! I’m from Ontario Canada and I always enjoy learning about things that people are passionate about. For one your voice is very soothing haha and I watch your videos at night when I am winding down. You and your friends always look like you’re having fun when you are removing those hives. Cheers!

only just stumbled accross your videos and now im binge watching every single one. love it

My favorite part of this was when you said a "sittin' on bucket" :)

Thanks for explaining things while you work. Great videos.

~ My brother keeps bees on his property in Louisville, KY, and I now also find this whole subject so fascinating. Thank you for your work and your very interesting videos. Cheers, DAVEDJ ~

i love watching videos like this, hes clearly passionate about the content he makes, its not just a bunch of click bait and like begging. Even though this video is old you're awesome man keep doing you!

i have sat here all day and only your videos , and dude you have got it going ! i subscribed and im following , keep the vids rolling !!!!! im a fan !

As I watch this and all of a sudden feel as if something's crawling on my leg ffs.

For some reason I’ve been obsessed with bee removal videos.. it’s just so interesting to see it happen

I learn a lot by watching your videos, After my first two bad years of mistakes and loosing my bees this year I will try again with a two year brake to gain more knowledge. Setting out swarm traps.

Wow! I couldn't imagine doing with without a suit and gloves. You're awesome.

I really enjoy these videos, for some reason honey bees are really soothing for me. Thanks for sharing

I just started watching a couple of months ago, now I’m addicted to your channel. Colleen from 🇨🇦

i have only been a beekeeper for 5 years now...but i have learnt so much from you, cause you just know one day i will get to do a cut out and will kind of know what i am doing (maybe). Great videos, really enjoying them.

wow. I can't believe how gentle and calm you stay. we had a swarm attached to a tree here in SE Pennsylvania. I had 2 guys fighting over getting there first to capture it.

Sir you deserve so much respect! I would be too scared to do this without gear

I love how you recycle the bee's you find. We need them all!

I haven't ever seen anything like this, it's amazing. Thank you for the information and beauty of bees!

Its so weird I absolutely hate need even one of them makes me run away and stay far far away but I love watching these videos they are so interesting

The one surprising thing I find is you doing all of this without a bee suit o-o

I love how chill you are and the accent!

First time keeper and a longtime viewer. Just wanted to say thanks for posting these videos they have educated me and my friends, especially those who can't believe how gentle the bees are. Though you are making me miss the deep south, lived over in Morgan city for a few years
