I hooked up a shop vac to a 55 gallon plastic barrel with a screw top and used a 20 foot long piece of abs plastic pipe and then vacuumed them up. I put a filter in the barrel so they don't get into the shop vac and it works great. I have done a dead bee count after I was finished relocating the hive and out of 20 pounds of bees only 150 bees were dead. Not too bad an average for 500,000 bees moved. My method is much safer than this but not as exciting.
@longliverocknroll5 Yes, I know bees can fly smart ass. I have never had bees come after me no matter how close I have been. There is a giant wasp nest in my shed and I am in there all the time and they have never went after me. You didn't have to be so snotty I just asked a question. Pffft. I hope the bees get you.
@molliebean chill it was a joke.... i work with bees and have encountered a dozen or more swarms so thankfully i would know what to do and nothing would happen and wasps tend to be a little more docile they just are a little anoying
@FlowerElectronics i know you probably don't even remember the post you made since it was 2 years ago, but thank you for the most insightful comment i have ever seen on youtube. its amazing how many people whine about a video they chose to watch.
Don't you have some ladders over there? Climbing up a tree that way is really amateurish and even dangerous. I'm a beekeeper myself and this seems to me you were trying to catch some attention primarily.
And...this is not a bee swarm. It's a hive already.
It would have been easier to just put the hive into a empty magazine and to put on a magazine with some combs in it. No wonder you perhaps lost the queen...
This kinda reminds me of Winnie the Pooh.

I am just wondering why the swarm was removed? Didn't seem to be any harm..they were so high up in the tree?

@molliebean bees can fly you know that right and anything in their flight path can become a threat to them

Thanks for wasting 8 minutes of my life.

YOU chose to watch it. YOU chose to keep
watching it for 8 minutes. And somehow you
think someone else is to blame, when you feel
8 minutes of your life were wasted? If you
didn't like the first 2-3-4-5-6-7 minutes,
why did you keep watching? Even a 3 year old
would have the brains to do something else
when s/he's bored. Yet you kept watching...

Apparently it's a really cool thing to say. Somehow this person is instantly now better than the person that made the video, in their mind only.

@FlowerElectronics maybe because he wasn't hoping there would be something in this video worth watching after 2-3-4-5-6-7 minutes of watching?
