I just went to begin bottling a belgian ipa fermented with 3711 saison yeast. I fermented it for 2 weeks, and dry hopped it for another 2. I just transferred it to the bottling bucket and mixed in the priming sugar, it is bubbling a lot. What should I do?

Most likely it's just degassing the CO2 that is trapped in the beer. Absolutely nothing to worry about.

how did you xfer it to the bottling bucket?
What was the SG when you racked it, and what was it before today?

Sounds like you reactivated some of the yeast. Or it wasn't done fermenting in the first place. Did you check your Final Gravity before transfering to the bottling bucket? How much priming sugar did you use?

3 ounces of sugar? This is for a 3 gallon batch?
Very strange. But 3 ounces of sugar is too little for 5 gallons, so you'll need another two ounces of sugar.
I think if the FG is 1.006, it's fine to bottle and the reason it was bubbling was "nucleation points".

This sounds like the early stages of an infection. Be wary.
Nah,it's just a lot of co2 degassing from fermentation. stirin it up by racking,etc can cause it to degass the dissolved co2.
