Have you ever heard of JP the Beeman? What about Schawee? Or what about the Mississippi bee man the 628 Dirt Rooster? Well, if any of these names mean anything to you, there's a pretty good chance you are going to enjoy this video. Why? Well, we all got together to make this video. That's right, the 4 of us managed to arrange our schedules to be at the same place at the same time to wrangle bees, and talk about a fun adventure.
When JP called me and asked if I'd be interested in giving him and Schawee a hand on a removal in Slidell, I jumped at the opportunity. Though we have been friends for several years, we had yet to do a collaboration video, and I had been wanting to do it for years. I was so pumped about doing the removal with them I called the Rooster and told him all about it, but he told me he had something scheduled for that time and would not be able to be there. Being the good sport I am, I proceeded to rub it in his face about how I was going to be working with JP and Schawee and he wasn't. As it turned out, he and JP had it worked out that I was not suppose to know the Rooster was going to be there as well.They did a great job of keeping the secret. When the Rooster showed up, I was in complete disbelief. Yep, they got me good.
So it took 4 bee wranglers to handle this removal, but we got the job done. The bees were gentle, and there were a gang of swarm cells on the comb that Schawee proceeded to pick off like grapes. There were at least 5 queens that emerged as we were there, and there's lots of footage on that thanks to Good Time Charlie who was doing all the videoing.
So, get ready for a few laughs and see for yourself how these Southern boys wrangle bees. God's peace to all. Mr. Ed
