No ladder needed. Using an expanded metal waste bin and an extension pole that easily reaches 25 feet high. How to collect, contain, and hive a swarm of honey bees step by step.
Join us for a truly special day at The Way To Bee Academy as three generations come together for a high-stakes swarm rescue! When a massive honeybee swarm settled high in a tree, it became a full-family mission. Watch as Frederick Dunn guides his three grandchildren—all suited up and ready for action—through the delicate process of capturing the cluster, locating the queen, and successfully hiving the bees. Whether you’re here to learn technical tips from "Grandfather" or simply want to see the joy of beekeeping being passed down to the next generation, this video captures the magic of teamwork, patience, and the incredible world of the honeybee.
Just as the grandchildren were about to go home for the day, we noticed a swarm high in a spruce tree. They all ran for their beesuits and for the first time ever, our three-year-old yelled out for her beesuit too, and this video is the result.
If you want to know more about the trash can method, I cover all those details in this video: youtu.be/MuF5Xtk45Lk?si=7JzE8-kmve-rys1M
THIS is THE pole for the trash-can method up to 30 feet from the ground as shown in this video:
