Queen talk!
Hey Doris, did you see the size of that cockroach.
Mildred, that's nothing, wait till you see that big hairy thing crawling up here!
Betty, sure is hot in here, who cut a pollen fart?

Lmao! Good stuff right there Tefer!

The guy didn't want to spend $175.00 for me to open the fascia and remove the colony all after removing a tangle of large vines growing all over the roof and fascia where they were entering. The guy had tried spraying them many times & I'm betting that's why they made so many queens for such a young colony.

His wife on the other hand was a real sweetheart, who happened to have called me.

Pretty sure he eradicated them.

That was one of the single most awesome things I've ever heard.  I could hear three right off the bat, so I'm glad you confirmed the number.

Were they all co-existing in the same colony? 

A million thanks for posting this!!

When you hear the piping they aren't trying to coexist...they are on the hunt!

I thought I had read somewhere that bees can't hear?


Cool video JP, thanks.

Reminds me of blowing on a kazoo. That sound puts out a lot of vibrations.

War Cry!!!

Thanks JP that was great.  2 years ago I lost 2 queens and purchased new ones from the beekeeping store in Sacramento. They were in individual cages and the entire ride home they were piping at each other in the car. It is very funny to hear that.

I've heard two queens only piping once in my hives. Way tooooo cool to hear! But I made a split... found one of the two queens.

Glad y'all liked the footage, too bad I couldn't have confirmed how many in there for sure. Would have saved every one I ran across & made nucs with them.
