Hello , I'm HoneyMan_Ng

Last week I received a call from a client about some bees disturbing his farmers on the farmland located in Oyo State.
The bees were habitated in a tall tree on the farm and the locals were scared of approaching the tree or the bushy Area close to it as the bees were very aggressive ( There were an active colony )

I and my colleague took off from the city of Ibadan( We travel nationwide) to Okaka .
Okaka is a town in Oyo state, it's an hour drive from Oyo State border town Saki.

We took an approximate of 3 hours and 30 minutes on the road from Ibadan

We got there late in the evening but couldn't do anything meaningful, Our Client covered our hotel expenses for the night.

By 6:15am the following morning, we were out of the hotel and on our way to the farm, it took us another 30 minutes to get to the farm inside the same Okaka town ( Oyo state is really big )

On getting to the farm, we wore our Complete uniform from the BeeSuit, Hand Gloves and Rubber boots and made sure there was no openings in any of our clothings

When we got to the bush and approached the tree where the Bee Colony was located for inspection.

We realised that our BeeSmoker was not going to be of help as the tree was quite tall and we'd also need support ( like a ladder or table for height to stand on ) and we'd need to setup some small fire at the base of the tree to calm the bees and so we could have a better view of the colony and see if we could harvest any honey before migrating the bees to a new location ( we came with two beehives bought by our client )

We had to get a spoilt car tyre,A litre of fuel ,Some junks to light fire all from the locals.
We were also able to get a table from them to give us height so I could get to the hive comfortably.


Our plan worked as the fire Gave enough smoke to calm the bees and made them less aggressive .

We were able to start harvesting but unfortunately all we got there was Brood so we had to dispose it.

After harvesting, the next thing was to migrate them to the beehives we brought.
We already baited the Beehives heavily with Beewax and some pure honey ( we baited aggressively ) before entering the bush.

We prepared Honey Syrup ( mixture of water and honey 30:70) In a bottle so as to spray on the Bees when they were calm so as to reduce their flight ( the syrup will make them wet so they won't be able to fly very well )

I won't go to in-depth with the migration ( Bees sting us gan )

We were able to successfully migrate the bees but alot of them were still on the tree and didn't follow the Queen bee we captured to the new hive ( they would migrate eventually after some hours or days )

Since the farm was needed urgently, we told the locals to light up some fire at the bottom of the tree later at night.


The second beehive we brought was also baited and placed in a strategic location on the farmland.

All the process took around 4 hours or so
Normally it shouldn't take up to 30 minutes to 1 hour but we had issues initially to set up smoke and getting height to access the tall tree.

In all, we ended well

We left the farm and treated ourselves to some Nice food in a canteen in Okaka town and then we left for Ibadan.

Thanks

FalseProphet1:
I see you going places with this business, I see you exporting honey in large quantities to Asia and Europe, I see the sky becoming your limit.

This I have seen.

To get to the point of exporting to Europe and Asia then an investment of around 2million dollars is needed.

Offpoint1:
I quit this job the day one overzealous bee stung me at the tip of my dîck, I wouldn't want to go into details.... I ended up with a dîck the size of yam tuber.

I smell lies

Bee man.

Na man you be.

God bless your bee hustle.

Papertrail11:
Baited 89 top bar hives this last week too was stressful setting it up

Would recheck it this week to see if they are fully baited

Nice seeing more beekeepers in Nigeria, we really need to run numbers and displace Kenya, Uganda, Ethopia, Russia and most esp Ukraine as the top beekeeping countries doing export numbers.

What's baited please?

Hobbiton:
Nice one there honey man. I love seeing people interact with nature without fear. There's this guy from Iraq I follow on Twitter. He has a big offshore coven, with ostriches, bees, gezelles etc.

Here are some of the pictures

What's his twitter handle?

SaturnNick:

Baited/Baiting means when you apply an attractant on the wood hive that would make bees come in and turn it into a colonized home for production of brood and honey as well as other variants...

Never heard of the name Okaka before in Oyo state. Never.

Oyo state is really big. Far bigger than all the states in the SE. Shares boarder with Benin republic and Kwara state through the North via Ogbomsho.
