What's behind that chicken wire?

hello mr. ed here today is May 15 2019 I'm in Abita Springs Louisiana and look at what are we looking at today folks I got some bees they're coming in underneath the house right here and there looks like to me they built the comb between the floor joists underneath the house well that's what it's looking like for the job today I got Richie the bee Wrangler he's coming over to help on this in fact he's taking the bees home with him and we're gonna get underneath the house pulled down the plot the insulation pull it down and expose that comb and see what we're looking at a grace of God these little bees right here and I don't think they've been here that long up maybe about five weeks or so the homeowner said something like that we'll see we'll soon find that out and uh by the grace of God these bees right here they'll be going home with Ritchie that's right angle huh well here's the space that I get to work with today yeah we're underneath the house and let me crawl over to where these are and show you it appears the comb sees stuff on the outside right here so I don't know whether the bees are on in this section of floor joist and that's what it feels like to me in here so I'm gonna remove this chicken wire that's holding the insulation up pull it back and reveal us a beehive huh there it is Wow that is a beauty the beauty of new comb and a new Swan and the swarm moves in those girls are ready to work I mean this is one healthy healthy looking swarm and they have got it going on we'll grab the vacuum cleaner start backing bees you know I'm looking for that Queen [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] oh there she is I got it thank you Jesus look at that folks thank you Jesus thank you thank you all right we're just gonna back in these bees up and then we'll show you the Queen we're getting ready to frame up a comb right now and look how pretty this stuff is all white oh my goodness couldn't ask for anything nicer than that so a little some of its soft well we'll get the stuff that we can frame up and the Queen really had just started laying she didn't have I mean this looked like his an example of the the brood her brew pen spotty at best but she's just started laying getting her bubbles out and she'll start laying cuz that Queen oh speaking of her look at this man oh man she she's got the large rump on her rooster I think you would seen this one too she held out to the very end took all the comb out took out 98% of the bees and then Richie was backing off the comb and I saw her running up on the stud and I grabbed it all right so let's frame up this comb and get this job over with and here's a shot of the comb that Richie framed up the the they had just started capping this brood and if you can see in there look at all the larva that's uncapped in there so she's laying she's doing her job how many frames did you frame up Richie seven seven frames and we we framed all that white coma it was hard enough to frame up so that's really great these bees will have a very good advantage instead of just treating him as a brand-new Swan all right we got Ritchie's gotten picking everything up what do you think Richie yeah nice yeah good job boys today and here's our queen and our bees right here Ritchie forgot to put the frames in the box but the bees are in there another sunlight doesn't make it easy for you all to see it but I'm guessing we have somewhere eight to ten thousand bees in there and there's our clean nice really nice well we got the Queen we got Ritchie right here and mr. ed so that's all we got amazing huh yes sir all right well let's wrap it up so thanks for watching keep on watching and I'll be making my god bless mr. ed and Ritchie we're out of heated up next video [Music] watch out stand up behind the hatch right there this is another because this is another observation odd but I have a little problem with this one I said this is enough we call this an observation on and and when I was taking it out the trunk it's it felt you know I need to make sure the glass [Applause] all right the same thing but without unloaded bits of the truck I had a little accident and so you see the glass that's in here oh yeah yeah well this is this the top of this one is an opportunity to knock so you open it if you can see the beads inside but I dropped it so I need to to make before I really oh I'm going to speak inside [Music] last thing I got to show you guys and this is an observation on this table so you can observe it well this is an observation hive as well so there's a piece of glass underneath him but I had a little problem when I unloaded this whatever you know when I take it out the truck this box kind of fell so I need to I need to make sure that the beans
