  • I'm a pesticide applicator in the state of Texas, and I never target pollinating insects much less honey bees. Those contractors were jackasses. I'm so grateful for people like this lady.
  • Calling it a “little baptizing” just seems so wicked to me. I have found a new appreciation for bees and wasps recently. I had a small family of paper wasps near my balcony that I was going to spray down but they were so non aggressive, it didn’t sit well in my spirit to harm them. They never bothered me nor my dog but would “visit” and fly away. Glad you came to rescue these guys!

    I'm happy to see people in the comments educating others on the truth of honey bees and the savethebees movement.

    I miss the bees I had when I lived in Florida. Such sweet gentle ladies. I'd sit on my lanai in the morning, drinking my coffee, and watching them come out of the box.
  • @amberfrazier575
    Why call a hive collector if you killed then already?!? It should be illegal to spray bees.
  • @ericgleixner4074
    If they sprayed them why did they then call this woman to relocate them? They know they're going to die. Doesnt make sense.

    I've gotten those. Sick bees that will die, poisoned honey, even the comb and wax can't be used, as it's also poisoned. It's a complete waste. If I smell spray in any way, I won't have anything to do with it.
    This is a homeowner getting you to take out their trash. It's just sad.
  • @dickyork7198
    As a licensed pesticide guy, i will refuse to spray anywhere bees are present and reiterate this to my boss every start of the season.
  • @brianfoster4821
    Your videos are the only bee videos I like. I feel you are the most genuine. Not because you are a woman. You feel the most genuine.
  • We could not survive without the beeeeeeees. I love 💖 this beautiful woman doing this work

    I’ll never forget a few summers back I walked out onto my porch to see it was covered in dead bumble bees. My yard looked even worse. To the point I couldn’t even take another step. I’ve never seen something like that. It looked apocalyptic. Come to find out the house behind mine was recently sold/purchased and the new owners pesticide everything on their property. I mean hundreds of bees dead. So sad. Barely see any bees around my home since
  • @drakeboutte1466
    Guys, even IF the bees are going to die, saving that hive and taking precautions to prevent OTHER hives from being contaminated is just as important. Shame on the people for spraying, but I’m glad they called her to handle it in a professional way
  • @user-rc8tp6si7j
    You are my hero & you are so calm & confident. You know your bees.
  • @bubblebeans1668
    Hi, I hope this doesn’t seem insensitive.. but are Honey bees are bread for humans and are invasive to the US. Honey bees are not in danger of being extinct. Native bees are. There are plenty of articles online talking about this. But here are some species of bees that are native to the US: bumble bees, mason bees (orchard mason as well) and leaf cutter bees! There are a lot more than that too! All of these bees are losing their habitats to both humans and honey bees.

    But it’s never cool to use any type of pesticide on those poor bees! :( very glad you removed and helped them!
  • @jagrubster
    With colony collapse disorder taking our bee populations, it kills me to see bees dying unnecessarily 😔
  • @kittykay088
    Awww poor bees! Because of your videos I made my sister call a bee keeper instead El Paso Texas a few months ago instead of having the landlord call an exterminator.
  • @Pearl7063
    Your a great person. God bless you for saving what bees you could.
  • You are an educator. I love your channel.❤❤❤❤❤
