hey everybody this is David's barnyard
bees today's video is about the fear of
bees and wind and Whitin and when you
should not be cautious with them in
different scenarios and even with
different genetics of these it could all
vary from the type of bee that's that
you have right here I didn't get the
camera just to get enough it's my pollen
theater it's where they're just they're
just thousands and thousands of bees and
they're just right here all the way with
me all around the legs flying landed on
me
these bees that have absolutely no
reason at all to try to sting me none
and they their purpose is here is to
feed and that's all they're thinking
about they're not thinking about their
hive and protecting the brood or
protecting their colony the only thing
that they're thinking about is getting
food and there's a lot of times and I'm
trying to get the fear out of people
that maybe not even be beekeepers
situations and this also can include
walls for Yellowjackets as well if
you're not close to their nest nine
times out of ten and now those people
will say well there's always that one
chance
well I've got to say that because
nothing's 100% sure every time but I
would even go as far as to say 99% of
time if you're not in the situation
close to their colony or their nest
they're not going to sting you they
haven't have reason distinct now if I
get popped here and stunned it's
probably because the harbor's are right
back there so I may be taking a little
bit more chance because if they sting me
they're thinking about protecting their
colony that's nothing to do with with
what's right here around me
so I just kind of wanted to give people
to understand that the people that has a
fear of bees in general and it's kind of
when it comes to like wearing bee suits
are not wearing bee suits it's just a
matter of learning your bees you know
when I first started out in years and
years ago but we're BC but then after a
while I took the gloves off and I just
have bee suit the gloves then after that
I pretty much just had just the bell and
and now you know different situations
sometimes I'll put a veil on because
there's times as a commercial beekeeper
you have to go out into the bee yard at
times where bees are more aggressive and
to keep from getting stung and I'm
getting my clothes or stung in the mouth
or in the lip or in the nose I put a
bell on and plus see how they're in my
face like right now they're not doing it
to be mean they're just they're just
checking me out and just flying around
well when you're trying to focus in in a
bee yard and you're trying to focus on
seeing brood and seeing eggs it's kind
of distracting when when they're doing
that in winter
you got one that was trying to
intimidate you run you off and to me
it's just I can focus better if I do
have a bad one not always I don't always
do but lost situations I will put a bell
on I apologize for the camera shaking
right now the wind's blowing a little
bit I got on that tripod I can see now
it's trying to go out of focus and I
don't know what's doing that this is my
new phone that God it's that the Galaxy
Note 9 it's down to really get so far
but when you see these out in the yard
don't be afraid and don't run and even
walleston stuff and when they land on
you the worst thing that you can do is
freak out and start shaking and swat
matter that's the worst possible thing
you can do because then the bees think
they're under attack and then they will
stay so when one lands on you don't
start swatting and striking at them just
you either just push them off gently or
just leave or shake them off gently you
know and then just walk away if they
feel like you're fretting them then they
will sting it now just sitting here
right here the only time that I could
possibly get stung would be if I would
bump up against one and the first take
on this video and I had to remake it
because my camera moves I did get popped
on the lake here and I looked down and
my leg was up against the big so they're
all labeled agree on around me you know
as always taking a chance sitting down
anyway but I just want people to see the
situation and just see how these you can
move them around they just they're just
they don't care when I did the video on
the Yellowjackets and people just
thought that I was either crazy or or
Superman one the comments that I got
back you know commandest EO and and some
other things I want to say on camera but
it's just the the scenario that there's
Yellow Jackets were in they wasn't there
to fight
they went there to protect a nest they
was there to eat and the trap was set up
the course calendar but they was coming
after the sugar water and the protein
mix that I had in the trap and that's
what they was going after so they have
no interest in stinging me they haven't
a stung me if I the trapped and or
grabbed ahold of one or laid my hand up
against them or something like that so
the same situation that I've been with
that many Yellowjackets have to the side
of their nest I'd have been in some big
truck I would be covered up and hurt
really bad and cuz Yellowjackets unlike
honey bees are not gentle if you mess
around with their colony they're gonna
get you they there's no such thing that
I know of is
general Yellowjackets so honeybees are
completely different we can go in their
colonies and we always try to pick the
right time to go in those colonies and
usually the right time is on a sunny hot
day when they're all out foraging that's
when the bees are happy and they could
care less if you're in there and the
worst the worst part of the days is like
early morning in late in the evening
overcast
rain code is when the bees are less
happy so keep that in mind
Annie I don't like videos about these
columns feeders here and and like I said
there's there's someone there says no
you shouldn't be falling because you're
gonna hurt them well let's go some same
people
why the big big commercial growers why
they put so much pollen in their highs
over winter they put a lot of Poland I'm
not very different of different people
tell me that people that know commercial
growers personally and we do too and of
course they use the pollen patties but
they got huge colonies and it doesn't
cause a mess because there's so many
bees in there they'll put five or ten
pounds of Holland in there and then
restock it later on
you're not have a lot of people tell me
this they do that too to ensure that
their bees are strong and healthy come
out spraying and that's how they can
have so much honey so quick is they got
tons of bees and they they feed them
they actually feed them right through
the winter and and they feed they don't
ever stop beating pollen so
look I'm just talking about experience
and get online and do the research and
start asking people and commercial
growers if you get off prepared too and
they'll tell you the same thing you you
feed your bees to get them strong
they've got to have a protein source and
the Beast won't like I said the previous
video that the bees will throttle down
automatically anyway because of the
length of the days the temperatures
there's different variables that exist
is not just feeding falling falling
they're just a food source that they
need so I just want to say that today
and I want to talk a little bit about
the fear of bees and and how you can get
over this fear it start out starting to
look it if you're not allergic to this
don't go out to everybody I don't want
to offend people get people mad cos
there's some people that are really
really reactive to bee stings and I
understand that but there's some that
doesn't and with with my situation I
swelled really bad at first and then
over a period of time and I know what
people will say they're gonna say well
allergic reactions can happen in Canada
so with a chance but everything in life
is a chance at a risk but it's those
situations are extremely rare and what I
would buys anyone with that fear because
it gets you some empty tins
tell your doctor and that's what we did
tell your doctor that you're a beekeeper
and you need epi pens you can get a
generic version I've got two of them for
like 20 or 25 dollars cheap and we keep
them will keep them handed you know if
that situation ever happen plus we keep
a lot of liquid benadryl or or just a
few whatever you like there's waste to
be for crop to be precautious you just
got to take those steps and
that's how that's how you do it you you
start off slow you take your gloves off
and then you work your way down from
there but but do what's comfortable for
yourself
like I said I don't want to offend
anybody or get anybody's feathers riled
up but everyone's different I'm not
saying I'm not go down Sunday for
wearing a bee suit and I'm gonna go down
some day for not where to be sick you do
what's best for you and and if your body
can handle it and take the stings
without antibiotic reactions and you and
I know like I've got to say that start
to say there a second because some
people say well you may not have any bad
reactions have been one day it'll hit
you it's possible but it's not probable
you know it's it's a situation where it
could happen but more than likely it's
not going to happen you got more of a
chance driving out here on the road
dying tomorrow then you will in a flat
Vladek shock with with bees when you're
normally not allergic or so I just want
to kind of put that out I know a step on
a few toes but apologize had a time for
that but I just speak my mind some will
tell you what I think
