Orlando, FL"Killer" Bees Attacking Camera ALLFloridaBeeRemoval 800.343.5317

[weirdwind22]

oh god...that is scary because i dislike bees alot even when they attack the camera..her should get out of there

[ZrazorRozenstrauch]

Have you considered introducing those giant Japanese hornets that can kill like 30,000 bees a minute into the houses to take care of the bees? I mean, yes, it's been documented that they're known to actually squirt venom out of their abdomens and into peoples' eyes in midair (they're that mean) but you could probably take them out far more easily than you could that many bees. Just let the hornets do all the work. Easy as pie.

[ALLFloridaBeeRemoval]

@ZrazorRozenstrauch Omigosh, we would probably get in big trouble for introducing an exotic species that ultimately would be very bad for managed honey bees and safety of humans! Same thinking would apply for introducing the Cape honey bee, as it would be very negative for managed beekeeping. Good on ya for thinking outside the box, though!

[318Captain]

@ALLFloridaBeeRemoval Japenese hornets are already here in NC...I bet if you looked around youd see them in FL too. I used to live there...never saw any bees like you just showed.

[Tom6093]

@318Captain But Japanese Hornets are rare even in Japan, How is that the case ?

[318Captain]

@Tom6093 not sure how. But Ive seen them. Not many...but at least 1 or two a month during the summer. They are HUGE!

[Tom6093]

@318Captain I do know there are other extremely large hornets. But the Japanese Hornet is extremely out of it's element in NC. If one of them did sting someane, There wouldn't be a way to treat the sting. Thats pretty scary.

[318Captain]

@Tom6093 Theres other large hornets? well, then Im not totally sure than. These are about 2-3 inches long...never really measured one. Everyone around here calls them Japanese hornets. Even the people that have lived here all there lives. I just thought they were right.

[xxwesdogxx]

wtf.. no removal?

[ALLFloridaBeeRemoval]

@xxwesdogxx yep, the client did not allow us to cut open the stucco wall. It was about 5 feet deep at the largest section. Physically impossible to perform a live removal even if we wanted to.

[xjoncamposx]

@ALLFloridaBeeRemoval Couldnt you guys have CO2'd the entire effected area?

[ALLFloridaBeeRemoval]

@xjoncamposx That's a great question! We use CO2 often while performing insect research, but it's primarily to anesthesitize, so we can move them easily into testing containers, etc.

I suppose in this case, CO2 might have worked as the architectural elements would act as a 'well', and contain the CO2 pretty well, but in most of our jobs I doubt it would bee very effective. Gas dispersal would be the main issue with most colonies, and it might not be so safe for us too! Richard Martyniak

imaine sleeping there lol

[FireTacoProductions]

OH GOD NOT THE BEES! NOT THE BEES! OH MY WOOD! MY WOOODD

[Babyqs4]

So there are actual killer bees in the US? Are they primarily in Florida? Do you kill the bees after removal?

[ALLFloridaBeeRemoval]

@Babyqs4 Yes, we have areas in Florida that are now loaded with them. They first entered the US in Texas about 20 years ago, and have spread through much of the Southwest. We do eradicate most of the bees we remove. Safety, sting risk, cost, low probability of relocated colony survival and unpredictability of the removed bees are just some of the factors involved. This is complicated stuff.

[notthatinnocent86]

no, you get a tank, you put a shell in the tank, you turn it on, you aim at the bees, and fire away

[Argocity2006]

Hair Spray and a lighter with do the trick

[wameru23]

at least u get free honey !

[J0hN1495]

this is nothing compared to where i live icant walk out ..theres 2 bee hives next to my apartment its like a soccer ball

[johnknoefler]

I removed two nests last week. One was in an attic. I got all the honey and larvae comb out. Plugged the entrance and that was it. It was very hot and difficult to reach. I had to use pvc pipe with a scraper and a flashlight taped to it. The rest is a secret but I did remove all the bees with no insecticide. The other nest was 20 feet up attached to a soffet. I got them all removed in two hours flat with no insecticide and not too many stings even though they were hybridized African.

[ALLFloridaBeeRemoval]

@johnknoefler Good on ya john! How many removals do you perform a year?

[johnknoefler]

@ALLFloridaBeeRemoval Hmm? I can't remember how many. Maybe 15 ? Some I got paid for but most I did for free to keep the bees. The last few I ran out of equipment and had to destroy the nests. I hate to kill them. But in some situations it is just not practical to save the nest. I stopped putting out ads when I ran out of equipment and money after I got laid off from my construction job. My relatives are major operators. Look up Lefore honey.

[slacker361]

i thought you could only tell if they are africanized bees by looking at the size of the wing

[chimneycat7]

im soooooooooo glad that ive never been stung

[Itsnartlex]

I've had killer bees attack my house and they came in groups in like the 50s and they got into my house 1 by 1 and so every time one came in we would swat it and so finally we just bug sprayed the house and then they all died.

[cookiesandmilk205]

The sight of those bees kinda made me itch, even though I've never been stung by a bee, because where I live, there aren't many bees here.

[GOOGLE244444444]

I know whats its like to get stung and you do not want to know...it was the worst pain i ever felt in my entire life and i surely dont want to feel it again

[cookiesandmilk205]

I heard they feel like a shot at the doctor's.

[RebornLegacy]

no you don't really feel it, but just hope your not allergic

[xavier12fromroblox]

@cookiesandmilk205 I like how the docters needle goes into my arm...

[MrFrogTractor]

I got stung on the weener

[bomberboy757]

@MrFrogTractor ummm exactly how did u get stung on ur weener

[MrDeadintheend]

"theres alot of bees coming out..."

Thats because there is a beehive smart one. XD

[ALLFloridaBeeRemoval]

@MrDeadintheend What you may not be aware of is that this vid was shot about 5 hours into the removal process. Most bee colonies will settle down after we remove most of the comb material, but Africanized bees will still stay defensive, even after we remove the majority of the colony. The returning forages get into the act, harrassing us throughout the process. Italian honey bees will just cluster together, seemingly waiting for us to collect them and move them into the hive box.

[MrDeadintheend]

@ALLFloridaBeeRemoval well i leaned something today.

[cowboysfan1995]

@MrDeadintheend and learning is half the battle xD

[tylerNvicent777]

crap

[naizaf]

WOW!!! that is really weird, if you ask me I would be scared out of my mind holy shit

[gabe0083]

nice view

[jcmegabyte]

can't help but think of all that honey and comb left in that wall! If you could get it out, it might make a great resource. If not, how bad does it get? Smelly, moldy? Hmmm can't be good! 8D

[Sherlockrulez]

Interesting fact, honey actually does not spoil! It crystallizes, yes, but never goes bad.

[jcmegabyte]

I've heard that honey found in the Egyptian Pyramids should still be OK to eat (in theory, anyway), but I've also heard that when you mix it with water for hummingbird food that it can go bad quite quickly. I guess it needs to be in its pure form to be viable for long periods. :-)

[ALLFloridaBeeRemoval]

Yes, you are right, Here in Florida , with our high humidity levels, old honey usually will ferment and does taste off. The bees don't seem to mind though!

[tc5241]

Wow, that is so scary!! How do you not freak out??

[ALLFloridaBeeRemoval]

It can be scary, even for us professionals who deal with stinging insects that are trying to kill us. Of course, they are only being defensive, reacting to the removal of their colony, so I can't really blame them. But we are now seeing Orlando area honey bees that are responding mightily to very little provocation, such as a squirrel running across a branch, or dogs barking.

[Tom6093]

@ALLFloridaBeeRemoval They must have gone African by now then.
