YAPPY Beeman Talks Bee Removals & Viral Videos

Yappy: "This will get me excommunicated from the bee community!"Firefighter by day, bee-whisperer by everything else — Yappy BeeMan joins the show fresh off a job (complete with a couple of fresh stings) to spill 15 years of beekeeping wisdom, chaos, and comedy.

Two jaw-dropping removals from a 150-year-old farmhouse — one wall hiding a 75-year-old colony, the other a 45-year-old honey vault with a jaw-dropping 100 gallons inside.Oh, and before all that — the host crunches this year's colony loss numbers. The bees are doing a little better, but as one industry leader puts it, that's still less "victory lap" and more "crisis in slow motion." Buckle up, beekeepers — it's a big one.VIDEO VERSIONSpecial thanks to our presenting sponsor, Mann Lake! https://www.mannlakeltd.com/Mann Lake discount code: MLBEELOVE10 for $10 off your next order.Follow Us: https://www.beelovebeekeeping.com/follow/https://www.beelovebeekeeping.com/Eric@BeeLoveBeekeeping.comYappy Beeman: https://swarmremover.com/ https://www.youtube.com/@YappyBeeman
