I've seen the Rooster render wax, it's the same way Superman would make a diamond. He'd take a chunk of coal, and using his super strength, compress it and make a 40 carat diamond. The Rooster grabs about 50 pounds of old bees wax in his watermelon hands, and using his super strength, compresses 40 pounds of wax out of the comb leaving only a pile of dirty cocoons to dig out from under his finger nails. You got to admire him for that. Thanks for watching. God's peace Willie. Mr. Ed
So glad to hear you were not disappointed with the recommendation, and I hope by watching this video you will want to check out more of them, there's only 380 or so. By the way, I post a new video every Friday, and I do hope to hear back from you. God's peace Lindsay. Mr. Ed
Your kind words are greatly appreciated, thank you. My mom told me the very first time she saw me after being born, I had a smile on my face. Thanks for watching. God's peace. Mr. Ed
What a great compliment to be compared to Bob Ross, thank you. So glad to hear the videos help you to wind down, it's my pleasure to share my bee wrangling adventures. Thanks for watching. God's peace. Mr. Ed
You are not the first to say I remind you of Bob Ross, and the happiness is genuine.Thanks for watching, and I look forward to hearing from you again. I post new bee videos every Friday in case you are interested. God's peace. Mr. Ed
@@JeffHorchoff who stopping by made the chanell 10x better? First of all you made it four times as good, and then all of us made it 10x better. Thanks for being so silky smooth inside. The world is better wirh you on it...
Thank you for your concern Wayne, I hope you stay safe as well. It's so heart warming when I hear comments like yours, I'm delighted to hear my videos have a calming effect for you. Thanks for watching. God's peace brother. Mr. Ed
Is there a more upbeat person on TH-cam than Jeff? I don't think I've ever come across anyone who's so infectiously joyful. I can only imagine that if you're feeling down five minutes of talking to Jeff would sort things out. Thank you Jeff for bringing sunshine into our lives 🐝✌️
My Mother used to use the phrase, "Busy as a bee." For you to harvest so much precious honey and wax, the busy little bees worked tirelessly. And now you and your helper prepared an environment to give the wax back to the busy little bees so that the process begins anew. Wonderful to watch. Take care, stay safe, and God bless. 🐝🐝🐝
It's the way recycling should work, and with the bees and wax, it does. Thank you for your blessings, concern, and for watching. Stay safe yourself Rose Mary, God's peace. Mr. Ed
i really enjoy watching someone that genuinely loves doing what they do. Makes it that much better to watch and learn from. Thank you for your enthusiasm.

So glad to hear you enjoy watching my bee wrangling adventures, and like you, the rendering of wax and harvesting the honey are always favorites of mine as they are quite different than a removal is. Thank you for your blessing and for watching. God's peace Robert. Mr. Ed

Hello dear friends. I want to help. I'd like wild bee wax. I forgot, I'm a student and on my way to an in-depth research I wanted some wild bee wax. I'd like an answer, please.
I am so happy you are out there watching Cheryl, thank you Jesus! It brings me great joy to share all my bee wrangling experiences, and I'm ever grateful to all who chose to follow along. Thanks for watching. God's peace. Mr. Ed
So glad to hear you enjoyed the video, especially on a TH-cam recommendation.

@@JeffHorchoff Thank you Good Sir. May the Good Lord bless you and keep you and keep you all safe out there in beautiful Louisiana. :-) Hallelujah, Amen.
Welcome to the wonderful world of keeping bees, you are going to love the adventure. I'm happy to share my experiences in the hopes of helping folks like yourself. Thanks so much for watching, and I look forward to hearing from you again. God's peace. Mr. Ed
My mom did sewing at an upholstery shop. She had a chunk of beeswax to rub on the needle when it was encountering too much friction in the work material.
Mr. Ed!!!! Good Morning My Friend! Now THAT is a big ole stack of bee's wax. The anti-inflammatory benefits of bee's wax is appealing. It's also good for the skin to prevent "environmental" attacks. I cannot wait for travel bans and social distancing to be lifted so that I can make my way to the Abbey. It's definitely on my bucket-list. *Have a wonderful weekend Mr. Ed and stay well, safe, and protected!*
What a great day that will bee to get to meet you in person! The smell of the bee's wax melting is intoxicating, so sweet. I know that's the reason the bees love it so much. Thanks for your love, concern, and of course for watching. God's peace LD. Mr. Ed
Now lout was a lotto wax to render down for sure. And I thought the roller method was pretty efficient but I gotta tell you really dipping these foundations in that cattle is the cat's meow for sure. Thanks for sharing my friend.
It was a lot of wax which is why it took so long to make this video, there are days between the rendering process. Still, it's worth the effort to wind up with frames that looked as good as these did. Dipping beats the heck out of rolling every time. Thanks for watching. God's peace. Mr. Ed
AE or the discovery channel should pick this guy up. He doesn't need a gimmick like some of the typical hosts. He's just genuinely interesting. I've been binge watching him for a couple days
You are way to kind, I'm just a bee wrangler who loves sharing his experiences and spreading a bit of happiness as I go. Thank you for the time you are putting in watching my adventures, I hope you feel it is time well spent. Until the next one, God's peace. Mr. Ed
Omg the smile and satisfaction when he was talking to us after it was all done was truly wholesome. I actually felt sooo good inside. 🤗 Thanks, I find enjoyment in the the melting and cleaning of the wax.
So glad to hear you enjoyed the video, and as much as I love rendering wax, saving bees tops that. Most of my videos are I post these videos, to show just how important bees are to our very survival, and why we should not just kill them out of ignorance. I have been rescuing bees from being needlessly destroyed for over 8 years now, and hope to continue to do so for many more years to come.

In the last couple months I have been fascinated with processing honey & rendering beeswax! I watch any video I can....all because of your videos! gods blessings upon you in these times
i can truthfully say "Mr Ed here" is the SAME nice guy you see on his vids! We had to pleasure to meet Mr Eday a bee conference in Alexandria last fall! Great speaker and a joy to listen and learn from! He is definately the real.deal!!😎
I think showing this video will make the point a bit clearer. Still, I love doing the work just to see the end product, very satisfying. Thanks for watching. God's peace Matt. Mr. Ed
I love it when you watch and comment Elaine, you are like clock work with your faithfulness. Thank you for your blessing and for watching. God's peace. Mr. Ed

I must say, Jeff. I envy you in this quarantine. You obviously enjoy what you do, and it looks relaxing but still keeping you very active. Thanks for sharing these videos.
In a way, the quarantine could not have come at a better time, I simply have a lot to do and I am now given the opportunity to do it. Of course, I really do love the work so it's really not work at all. Thanks for watching. God's peace Lorraine. Mr. Ed

I am not sure why, been a city guy my whole life, but I find beekeeping and especially wax rendering and cleaning to be absolutely fascinating. I also enjoy both you and DirtRooster, each have such an enthusiasm for what you do, your joy is infectious. (in a good way).....
Weather you are from the city or the country, having a good time while doing your work draws attention. Both Randy and myself have a lot of fun sharing our experiences, and we are both grateful for all who take note of it. Thanks so much for watching. God's peace Larry. Mr. Ed
After my burnout I have been thinking about a different career. Beekeeping is among my thoughts. Seeing your positivity and unbridled joy you have across your videos is definitely igniting my passion to pursue something similar here in Europe. Thank you ever so much!
Sure is nice to have top class equipment instead of using rudimentary things working in a driveway, basement, or garage with bees flying everywhere...I went 100% foundationless this season and the bees draw perfectly everytime!!!
Mr. Ed you have shown me something I have always wanted to know! I have always been curious about how this process was done, and now I know. 👍😊 I know how you might do it if you have a small batch (the crock pot), and how YOU have decided to do it now that you have so many hives to tend. Most importantly, I know WHY you do it! Awesome informative video to watch on what has turned into a rainy day here in central Florida. Hope you all are still safe and sound up there. God bless!
Personally, I find the process of rendering wax fascinating and fun. To start with obvious trash and transform it into a beautiful looking and wonderfully smelling block of wax is just so cool. Glad you enjoyed the video. thank you for your blessing and for watching. God's peace Diane. Mr. Ed
Not necessary, but I'd greatly appreciate it if you'd keep on watching my bee wrangling adventures. Thanks for your kind words and for watching. God's peace Trevor. Mr. Ed
Your joy is so contagious, Jeff! More so than the virus that shall not be named! God bless you and your beautiful Mom and the lovely monks at the Abbey.
One tip. I just put all the "dirty" wax in some bigger cloth. Like a big kitchen cloth. Put some stones in the cloth with the wax to keep it down below water and melt. Most dirt will stay in the cloth and the wax will be nearly all cleen allready the first melt. Just a little hello from Sweden!🤟💛🐝
That is so cool to hear that you watched simply because it is a recommended video. In case you have more interest in what I do, wrangling bees, I post a new video every Friday, and I hope you will check some of those out as well. Thanks so much for watching. God's peace. Mr. Ed
Thank you so much for sharing this with your daughter, and I hope you will share more of my videos with her as well, there are over 400 of them. And if that were not enough, I post a new one every Friday. Thanks for watching, both of you. God's peace Stephanie. Mr. Ed
Delighted to hear how much you enjoyed this video. I will say this, I do like rendering old beeswax, the end product and the smell of it is truly wonderful. Thanks for watching. God's peace. Mr. Ed
Every video I post is a fun one for me, and I hope those who watch will partake in in as well. Thanks for watching, and I look forward to hearing from you again soon. God's peace. Mr. Ed

I've got to get me one of those shop aprons. It really makes you look like you should know what you're doing. Maybe I can make one out of a horse blanket.
You are one slick Rooster, making what appears to be a somewhat compliment, and then getting the dig in on me by mentioning a horse blanket.Very subliminal, but quite effective, trying to drag my name in the dirt. God's peace brother. Mr. Ed
@@JeffHorchoff As much as I would like to take credit for such a clever little twist on a back handed compliment I just can't. I didn't think of it until you mentioned it. It did turn out pretty good though.

I put mine in the oven. Container of water, paper filter attached at the top, wax chunks laid on top of the filter. As it melts it goes through the filter and lands on a layer of water. Keep adding chunks of wax as they melt through. Voila. Easy peazy. Of course this works for smaller not larger amounts like our dear Mr. Ed has here lol.😁 Choose happy, be kind everybody. God bless.
As is the case in most matters of life, find what works for you, work on perfecting and refining it, keep learning, and always enjoy the ride. I love how you ended your comment and would add " be kind to everybody every day." Thank you for your blessing and for watching. God's peace. Mr. Ed
Hi Mr. Ed! Enjoyed the video as always. I plan on doing my first cutout this coming weekend. It is an early spring swarm that has set up shop in the wall of an old house. Wish me luck, and god bless!
I can hardly wait to hear how you did, please let me know. Being a new swarm, it's a perfect one to cut your teeth on. I wish you all the successes on the removal! Thank you for your blessing and for watching. God's peace Brant. Mr. Ed

I’ve never been interested in beeswax before this video. This is an incredibly factual video and it’s really interesting to see how your process goes. I’m interested in beeswax now!!
Great to hear that, and I'm glad you enjoyed watching the video. The link below is my latest video on rendering wax. Thanks for watching. God's peace. Mr. Ed th-cam.com/video/fWVpuUGjPWA/w-d-xo.html
You'll be able to see it 3 more times, I just cut it off last night. The temperature here is to hot to sport it any more. Glad you liked the video, thanks so much for watching. God's peace. Mr. Ed
Hi Jeff, you have a very warm and honest presentation style which makes the videos very watchable. My guess is that you are on the Potter's wheel and He is continuing to make something beautiful out of your life. God bless from New Zealand.
Thank you for your blessings and very kind words Peter. At 65, I still feel I'm just starting on my journey with God, but with each day that passes, I grow in confidence of His presence with me and the love He has for me. It is in HIs great mercy that all my hope lies in, and that is the source of my joy. God's peace brother. Mr. Ed
H Jeff. Well, by Christmas we can put a red suit on you and you'll be Santa !!! I love watching Bee work. Very meditative for sure. Wood working does the same for me as well. Hope all is well down there today. We are good here right now, all things considered, grateful ...
No Santa for me, I cut my hair and shaved my beard yesterday, it has gotten to hot for me to sport it anymore.Like you, I find working bees is very meditative as well. All is well here, and I hope, given the circumstances, all is well for you also. Stay safe, God's peace Jeremy. Mr. Ed
I really enjoy watching your videos, even if it's a something I already know about. I watch not for the content of the subject but rather I watch because of the content of your heart. It's easy to see your a Christian. Your genuinely a nice person and a joy to watch. Thanks for sharing part of your life and happiness with all of us!
One of the reasons I continue to make and post videos is to let as many folks witness for themselves that we can be find joy and contentment in God's creation, and I use honey bees as the spring board to that revelation. My peace comes from my relation with God and HIs Son Jesus Christ. Thank you so much for your kind words and for taking the time to write them. God's peace Ron. Mr. Ed

Thank you very much for your VERY kind words, they are greatly appreciated. In truth, I'm just a guy infatuated with bees and everything they do, and I like sharing my experiences of that. Thank you for your faithfulness to my channel and keep spreading the news. God's peace. Mr. Ed
He is no dark wizard, he is a monk. I keep the bees for a group of Benedictine monks in Louisiana, St. Joseph Abbey. His name is Brother Andrew, and the fellow working with me, though not wearing his habit, is a monk as well. His name is Brother Austin. The link below, if you are interested in watching, is a video I made showing all the cottage industries that the monks work at here at the abbey. Thanks for watching. God's peace.

Awesome. I took my wife to macclenny fl. This am and noticed that 28 miles from the new piece of property we are going to call home when I retire, there is a bee shop. They sell everything that has to do with bees. Awesome!!!! Can't wait till I get set up.
first of all, I love this guy right off the bat. second of all, those look like big wheels of cheese, but I know I'd regret taking a big cartoon-like bite out of it.
Thank you very much for your kind words, they are greatly appreciated. And yes, though they look like a cheese wheel, they certainly don't smell or taste like cheese.Thanks for watching, and I hope you will check out more of my over 450 bee wrangling/ bee rescue adventure videos and let me know what you think of them. By the way, I post a new video almost every Friday morning, and I look forward to hearing from you again soon. God's peace Brennan. Mr. Ed
On a much smaller scale, using a Kelley Beekeeping model KH100, I place steel wool pads (held in place by binder clips) in the output shoot to strain the wax and it works great. I also uncap in this same setup using the steel wool to strain the capping honey. I keep the capping honey separate as it seems to have a higher pollen content. Health food customers prefer it.
My method of placing the netting in the throat of the nozzle uses the same pretense as the steel wool you describe, it works very well. Thanks for watching. God's peace Bob. Mr. Ed
I find this video so interesting. You give us so much info about the how's and why's of bee keeping and honey harvesting, I just find it amazing. Thanks for sharing. 🤗🥰🐝

Love this video Mr Ed. When I bought my very first Bee Hive kit .. it was a beginners kit from Sears back in the 80s . The whole kit and the frames had to be assembled and it had frame foundations that had to be inserted into the frames. and they had bees wax already coating the Foundations. Assembling the whole bee hive parts was a lot of fun in itself. Thank you very much for this video . : )
I had just started keeping bees in the early 80's....when things were a lot simpler. Now a days, the plastic foundation can be purchased with a wax coating, but you will pay more for it. Great story Ed, thanks for sharing it, and for watching. God's peace brother. Mr. Ed
Thank you so much for your blessing and your very kind words, as well as for taking the time to watch the video. I hope to hear from you again. God's peace. Mr. Ed
Just goes to show you there is a LOT more to wrangling bees than just doing a cut out. Glad you liked the video, thanks for watching. Stay safe yourself, God's peace Greg. Mr. Ed

I'll tell you what with everything that's going on in this world this guy is such a nice breath of fresh air he's so nice and he's so uplift God help me I try to be that way myself but it is so hard thank you for sharing your positivity and your love for what you do yeah I think it's an amazing thing that you do all this for your church your Abbey for free. I think it is done like this I'm happy than my kids can watch you on TH-cam and see that not everyone is acting the same way out there God still says looking thank you so much I love the videos you're an awesome person and I love these are amazing and I love the wax God bless from my family to yours
You sir are what we used to call a character and believe me there are not many around these days. My setup was a lot smaller than yours and I found that a good long solar wax melter (three stages) at a low angle gave me wax so clean I did not have to do anything more to have it ready for sale. We did not have plastic foundation in those days so purchasing manufactured stuff was easyier than trying to make your own. Look forward to more videos.
My mom used to call me a character as well, but she always rolled her eyes as she said it. I just thought she must have something in them. I have come a long way in my 25 plus years of keeping bees, and along the way, the equipment has gotten a lot better and making things so much faster. Solar melters are great and just about anyone can make one, I never had the success that you had and always had to much trash in it. Thank you so much for your kind words and for watching. Until the next time, God's peace Bob. Mr. Ed
The smell of the rendered wax when it's applied to the foundations is so good, I think that's the real reason the bees jump on it. Thanks for watching. God's peace Beth. Mr. Ed
It's to bad I could not get the smell to come through the video, it's fantastic. Thanks so much for watching. and I hope you will check out more of my videos, there's only 380 or so of them, and let me know what you think of those as well. God's peace. Mr. Ed
Do it like the dirt rooster does
The Dirt Rooster would love to have a setup like Mr Eds.
I've seen the Rooster render wax, it's the same way Superman would make a diamond. He'd take a chunk of coal, and using his super strength, compress it and make a 40 carat diamond. The Rooster grabs about 50 pounds of old bees wax in his watermelon hands, and using his super strength, compresses 40 pounds of wax out of the comb leaving only a pile of dirty cocoons to dig out from under his finger nails. You got to admire him for that. Thanks for watching. God's peace Willie.

Mr. Ed
Actually, you stopping by made the channel 10x better, thanks for the help and for watching. God's peace.
Mr. Ed
Mr. Ed... the Bob Ross of bee keeping. :-)
@@JeffHorchoff who stopping by made the chanell 10x better? First of all you made it four times as good, and then all of us made it 10x better. Thanks for being so silky smooth inside. The world is better wirh you on it...
Sir your videos make my blood pressure go down. Thanks so much. I'll never keep a single bee, but your videos calm me. I appreciate that! Be safe Sir
Thank you for your concern Wayne, I hope you stay safe as well. It's so heart warming when I hear comments like yours, I'm delighted to hear my videos have a calming effect for you. Thanks for watching. God's peace brother.
Mr. Ed
Is there a more upbeat person on TH-cam than Jeff?
I don't think I've ever come across anyone who's so infectiously joyful.
I can only imagine that if you're feeling down five minutes of talking to Jeff would sort things out.
Thank you Jeff for bringing sunshine into our lives 🐝✌️
OK, where do I send the check? Thanks so much for your very kind words, and taking the time to watch the video. God's peace Ian.
Mr. Ed
My Mother used to use the phrase, "Busy as a bee." For you to harvest so much precious honey and wax, the busy little bees worked tirelessly. And now you and your helper prepared an environment to give the wax back to the busy little bees so that the process begins anew. Wonderful to watch. Take care, stay safe, and God bless. 🐝🐝🐝
It's the way recycling should work, and with the bees and wax, it does. Thank you for your blessings, concern, and for watching. Stay safe yourself Rose Mary, God's peace.
Mr. Ed
i really enjoy watching someone that genuinely loves doing what they do. Makes it that much better to watch and learn from. Thank you for your enthusiasm.
I can't thank you enough for your kind words, and that you enjoyed watching the video.Thanks for watching, and I look forward to hearing from you again. I post new bee videos every Friday in case you are interested. God's peace Jason.
Mr. Ed
Mr. Ed, I love all of your videos, but the ones where you work with wax are my absolute favorite. You’ve made my day! God bless and stay safe!
So glad to hear you enjoy watching my bee wrangling adventures, and like you, the rendering of wax and harvesting the honey are always favorites of mine as they are quite different than a removal is. Thank you for your blessing and for watching. God's peace Robert.
Mr. Ed
Morning Mr. Ed. hope you are keeping well and safe.

Hello dear friends.
I want to help.
I'd like wild bee wax.
I forgot, I'm a student and on my way to an in-depth research I wanted some wild bee wax.
I'd like an answer, please.
Thank you Jesus for all your help on this job. That was a big one too. Thank you Jeff for allowing us to be part of your fun :-) I'll bee watching.
I am so happy you are out there watching Cheryl, thank you Jesus! It brings me great joy to share all my bee wrangling experiences, and I'm ever grateful to all who chose to follow along. Thanks for watching. God's peace.
Mr. Ed
Not sure why this is in my recommended but if I am to take up beekeeping in the future I will come back to this as a reference point
So glad to hear you enjoyed the video, especially on a TH-cam recommendation. And just in case you do take up bee keeping in the future, I've got over380 video on the subject, and I post a new one every Friday. Thanks again for taking the time to watch and leave your comment. God's peace Colton.
Mr. Ed
Very Educational! you are such a great teacher and easy to watch, great job! God Bless you and stay safe
That is so kind of you, thank you for a great compliment, your blessings and concern, as well as taking the time to watch. Stay safe yourself Zeke. God's peace.
Mr. Ed
TH-cam at 2 am: Want to watch someone talk about beeswax for thirty minutes?
Yes. Yes I would actually. :-) Lord Bless.
I'm glad you did, and I hope it was somewhat interesting to you. If it was, I post new videos every Friday on bee stuff if you are interested. Thanks for watching. God's peace Miles.
Mr. Ed
Way to go Daniel, thanks. God's peace.
Mr. Ed
@@JeffHorchoff Thanks Jeff I did, always found bee keeping interesting!
@@JeffHorchoff Thank you Good Sir. May the Good Lord bless you and keep you and keep you all safe out there in beautiful Louisiana. :-) Hallelujah, Amen.
I just started beekeeping this year. The videos you and others make have been a great addition to the classes I took. Keep them coming.
Welcome to the wonderful world of keeping bees, you are going to love the adventure. I'm happy to share my experiences in the hopes of helping folks like yourself. Thanks so much for watching, and I look forward to hearing from you again. God's peace.
Mr. Ed
My mom did sewing at an upholstery shop. She had a chunk of beeswax to rub on the needle when it was encountering too much friction in the work material.
Bee's wax has so many uses, and your mom is mighty smart to be using it in her sewing. Thanks for watching. God's peace.
Mr. Ed
I really enjoy watching Mr. Ed’s videos very informative and relaxing
Thank you so much for those very kind words as well as taking the time to follow along. God's peace Art.
Mr. Ed
Mr. Ed!!!! Good Morning My Friend! Now THAT is a big ole stack of bee's wax. The anti-inflammatory benefits of bee's wax is appealing. It's also good for the skin to prevent "environmental" attacks. I cannot wait for travel bans and social distancing to be lifted so that I can make my way to the Abbey. It's definitely on my bucket-list. *Have a wonderful weekend Mr. Ed and stay well, safe, and protected!*
What a great day that will bee to get to meet you in person! The smell of the bee's wax melting is intoxicating, so sweet. I know that's the reason the bees love it so much. Thanks for your love, concern, and of course for watching. God's peace LD.
Mr. Ed
Now lout was a lotto wax to render down for sure. And I thought the roller method was pretty efficient but I gotta tell you really dipping these foundations in that cattle is the cat's meow for sure. Thanks for sharing my friend.
It was a lot of wax which is why it took so long to make this video, there are days between the rendering process. Still, it's worth the effort to wind up with frames that looked as good as these did. Dipping beats the heck out of rolling every time. Thanks for watching. God's peace.
Mr. Ed
AE or the discovery channel should pick this guy up. He doesn't need a gimmick like some of the typical hosts. He's just genuinely interesting. I've been binge watching him for a couple days
You are way to kind, I'm just a bee wrangler who loves sharing his experiences and spreading a bit of happiness as I go. Thank you for the time you are putting in watching my adventures, I hope you feel it is time well spent. Until the next one, God's peace.
Mr. Ed
Omg the smile and satisfaction when he was talking to us after it was all done was truly wholesome. I actually felt sooo good inside. 🤗 Thanks, I find enjoyment in the the melting and cleaning of the wax.
So glad to hear you enjoyed the video, and as much as I love rendering wax, saving bees tops that. Most of my videos are I post these videos, to show just how important bees are to our very survival, and why we should not just kill them out of ignorance. I have been rescuing bees from being needlessly destroyed for over 8 years now, and hope to continue to do so for many more years to come. Thanks for watching, and I hope you will check out more of my bee wrangling/ bee rescues adventures and let me know what you think of them. By the way, I post a new video every Friday morning, and I look forward to hearing from you again soon. God's peace.
Mr. Ed
Wow! I find it so cool that the wax that comes from the combs get reused to make new combs!
Recycling the wax is such a cool process, and after it's finished, it's brand new all over again.Thanks for watching, and I hope you will check out more of my bee wrangling/ bee rescues adventures and let me know what you think of them. By the way, I post a new video every Friday morning, and I look forward to hearing from you again soon. God's peace Haimy.
Mr. Ed
In the last couple months I have been fascinated with processing honey & rendering beeswax! I watch any video I can....all because of your videos!
gods blessings upon you in these times
Thank you very much for your blessings, concern, kind words, and for watching, it is all greatly appreciated. Stay safe, God's peace.
Mr. Ed
Your smile is so genuine its infectious!
Thanks so much for your kind words and for watching. God's peace.
Mr. Ed
i can truthfully say "Mr Ed here" is the SAME nice guy you see on his vids! We had to pleasure to meet Mr Eday a bee conference in Alexandria last fall!
Great speaker and a joy to listen and learn from! He is definately the real.deal!!😎
If people only knew how much work goes into processing beeswax....
Such an undervalued product.
I think showing this video will make the point a bit clearer. Still, I love doing the work just to see the end product, very satisfying. Thanks for watching. God's peace Matt.
Mr. Ed
That was a fine job Mr. Ed, and done with love. It was a really satisfying video to watch. Thank you for sharing. God bless and see you soon.
I love it when you watch and comment Elaine, you are like clock work with your faithfulness. Thank you for your blessing and for watching. God's peace.
Mr. Ed
He giggles like a nut when talking about bees haha you can tell he loves his beekeeping biz
This is one of the best things I've seen on youtube today. Genuine passion, genuine hard work, a willingness to teach and learn. Bravo and Huzzah!
Thank you so much for your very kind words, they are greatly appreciated. Also thanks for watching, and I hope you will check out more of my over 500 bee wrangling/ bee rescue adventure videos and let me know what you think of them.

I must say, Jeff. I envy you in this quarantine. You obviously enjoy what you do, and it looks relaxing but still keeping you very active. Thanks for sharing these videos.
In a way, the quarantine could not have come at a better time, I simply have a lot to do and I am now given the opportunity to do it. Of course, I really do love the work so it's really not work at all. Thanks for watching. God's peace Lorraine.
Mr. Ed
This is insanely interesting, I can’t believe how amazing bees are

Thank you for your kind words, your concern and for taking the time to watch. Stay safe yourself, God's peace.
Mr. Ed
I like that you reused every part of a bee comb. Bees do so much for us/earth!!
It is in appreciation of the work of the humble honey bees that I take so much effort to reuse the products they produce.......except the honey, I eat that.

Mr. Ed
I am not sure why, been a city guy my whole life, but I find beekeeping and especially wax rendering and cleaning to be absolutely fascinating. I also enjoy both you and DirtRooster, each have such an enthusiasm for what you do, your joy is infectious. (in a good way).....
Weather you are from the city or the country, having a good time while doing your work draws attention. Both Randy and myself have a lot of fun sharing our experiences, and we are both grateful for all who take note of it. Thanks so much for watching. God's peace Larry.
Mr. Ed
After my burnout I have been thinking about a different career. Beekeeping is among my thoughts. Seeing your positivity and unbridled joy you have across your videos is definitely igniting my passion to pursue something similar here in Europe. Thank you ever so much!
No matter what you choose to pursue, I truly hope you find the peace you seek. God's peace Roxane.
Mr. Ed
Sure is nice to have top class equipment instead of using rudimentary things working in a driveway, basement, or garage with bees flying everywhere...I went 100% foundationless this season and the bees draw perfectly everytime!!!
I do love having the bees draw out their own comb, it's pure art. Yes, I am blessed to have some very good equipment. God's peace brother.
Mr. Ed
Mr. Ed you have shown me something I have always wanted to know! I have always been curious about how this process was done, and now I know. 👍😊 I know how you might do it if you have a small batch (the crock pot), and how YOU have decided to do it now that you have so many hives to tend. Most importantly, I know WHY you do it! Awesome informative video to watch on what has turned into a rainy day here in central Florida. Hope you all are still safe and sound up there. God bless!
Personally, I find the process of rendering wax fascinating and fun. To start with obvious trash and transform it into a beautiful looking and wonderfully smelling block of wax is just so cool. Glad you enjoyed the video. thank you for your blessing and for watching. God's peace Diane.
Mr. Ed
id probably die for this man and his bees
Not necessary, but I'd greatly appreciate it if you'd keep on watching my bee wrangling adventures. Thanks for your kind words and for watching. God's peace Trevor.
Mr. Ed
Your joy is so contagious, Jeff! More so than the virus that shall not be named! God bless you and your beautiful Mom and the lovely monks at the Abbey.
Your kind words are greatly appreciated, thank you for them, your blessings for me, mom, and the monks. Stay safe, God's peace.
Mr. Ed
One tip. I just put all the "dirty" wax in some bigger cloth. Like a big kitchen cloth. Put some stones in the cloth with the wax to keep it down below water and melt. Most dirt will stay in the cloth and the wax will be nearly all cleen allready the first melt. Just a little hello from Sweden!🤟💛🐝
Thank you for your suggestion, I will try it and see what happens.Thanks for watching. God's peace.
Mr. Ed

I've got to get me one of those shop aprons. It really makes you look like you should know what you're doing. Maybe I can make one out of a horse blanket.
You are one slick Rooster, making what appears to be a somewhat compliment, and then getting the dig in on me by mentioning a horse blanket.Very subliminal, but quite effective, trying to drag my name in the dirt. God's peace brother.
Mr. Ed
@@JeffHorchoff As much as I would like to take credit for such a clever little twist on a back handed compliment I just can't. I didn't think of it until you mentioned it. It did turn out pretty good though.

As I watched this, I kept thinking how difficult it must have been to do this by hand in pots over a fire.
Great job Mr. Ed!
As hard as it was rendering wax with modern equipment, I could not imagine how difficult it must have been 100 years ago.

Thank you very much for your kind words, they are greatly appreciated. Oh yes, thank you for taking the time to watch them as well. God's peace Juan.
Mr. Ed
I put mine in the oven. Container of water, paper filter attached at the top, wax chunks laid on top of the filter. As it melts it goes through the filter and lands on a layer of water. Keep adding chunks of wax as they melt through. Voila. Easy peazy. Of course this works for smaller not larger amounts like our dear Mr. Ed has here lol.😁 Choose happy, be kind everybody. God bless.
As is the case in most matters of life, find what works for you, work on perfecting and refining it, keep learning, and always enjoy the ride. I love how you ended your comment and would add " be kind to everybody every day." Thank you for your blessing and for watching. God's peace.

Hi Mr. Ed! Enjoyed the video as always. I plan on doing my first cutout this coming weekend. It is an early spring swarm that has set up shop in the wall of an old house. Wish me luck, and god bless!
I can hardly wait to hear how you did, please let me know. Being a new swarm, it's a perfect one to cut your teeth on. I wish you all the successes on the removal! Thank you for your blessing and for watching. God's peace Brant.

Thank you for your blessings and very kind words Peter. At 65, I still feel I'm just starting on my journey with God, but with each day that passes, I grow in confidence of His presence with me and the love He has for me. It is in HIs great mercy that all my hope lies in, and that is the source of my joy. God's peace brother.

H Jeff. Well, by Christmas we can put a red suit on you and you'll be Santa !!! I love watching Bee work. Very meditative for sure. Wood working does the same for me as well. Hope all is well down there today. We are good here right now, all things considered, grateful ...
No Santa for me, I cut my hair and shaved my beard yesterday, it has gotten to hot for me to sport it anymore.Like you, I find working bees is very meditative as well. All is well here, and I hope, given the circumstances, all is well for you also. Stay safe, God's peace Jeremy.

It's easy to see your a Christian. Your genuinely a nice person and a joy to watch. Thanks for sharing part of your life and happiness with all of us!
One of the reasons I continue to make and post videos is to let as many folks witness for themselves that we can be find joy and contentment in God's creation, and I use honey bees as the spring board to that revelation.

25:27 I love how the dark wizard shows up out of nowhere and checks out the wax dipping
He is no dark wizard, he is a monk. I keep the bees for a group of Benedictine monks in Louisiana, St. Joseph Abbey. His name is Brother Andrew, and the fellow working with me, though not wearing his habit, is a monk as well. His name is Brother Austin.

By the way, I post a new video almost every Friday morning, and I look forward to hearing from you again soon. God's peace Brennan.
Mr. Ed
Good info thanks.
I got my first swarm yesterday off the bottom of a metal staircase in the rain and cold. :~)
CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!!!! There's nothing better than free bees. Thanks for watching. God's peace.
Mr. Ed
On a much smaller scale, using a Kelley Beekeeping model KH100, I place steel wool pads (held in place by binder clips) in the output shoot to strain the wax and it works great. I also uncap in this same setup using the steel wool to strain the capping honey. I keep the capping honey separate as it seems to have a higher pollen content. Health food customers prefer it.
My method of placing the netting in the throat of the nozzle uses the same pretense as the steel wool you describe, it works very well. Thanks for watching. God's peace Bob.
Mr. Ed
Look at the difference in the maintenance building 4 years later! Love the new lighting.
We have come a long way, and it's all for the better. Thanks so much for watching. God's peace.
Mr. Ed
I find this video so interesting. You give us so much info about the how's and why's of bee keeping and honey harvesting, I just find it amazing. Thanks for sharing. 🤗🥰🐝
So happy to hear you enjoyed the video, and if you are interested in going on more of the bee adventures I have done over the years, I'd love to have you follow along. I have posted more over 450 bee wrangling/ bee rescue adventure videos and I'd love to hear what you think of them as well. By the way, I post a new video almost every Friday morning, and I look forward to hearing from you again soon. God's peace Cheri.
Mr. Ed
I’m watchin’ and I’m gonna keep on watchin’. Good job Mr. Ed
I can't thank you enough for spending all your time following along, thanks so much David. God's peace brother.
Mr. Ed
Not even sure how this video came across my feed, but loved it :) I've always thought bees and honey and hives were very fascinating :) thank you for your video :)
I am so happy to hear you decided to watch the video on a recommendation, and found you enjoyed it. I can't thank you enough for taking a chance and found it worth your while. I post these videos, to show just how important bees are to our very survival, and why we should not just kill them out of ignorance. I have been rescuing bees from being needlessly destroyed for over 8 years now, and hope to continue to do so for many more years to come. Thanks for watching, and I hope you will check out more of my bee wrangling/ bee rescues adventures and let me know what you think of them. By the way, I post a new video every Friday morning, and I look forward to hearing from you again soon. God's peace Sarah.

Love this video Mr Ed. When I bought my very first Bee Hive kit .. it was a beginners kit from Sears back in the 80s . The whole kit and the frames had to be assembled and it had frame foundations that had to be inserted into the frames. and they had bees wax already coating the Foundations. Assembling the whole bee hive parts was a lot of fun in itself. Thank you very much for this video . : )
I had just started keeping bees in the early 80's....when things were a lot simpler. Now a days, the plastic foundation can be purchased with a wax coating, but you will pay more for it. Great story Ed, thanks for sharing it, and for watching. God's peace brother.
Mr. Ed
@@JeffHorchoff I love the way you coated your Fames. The whole video was fascinating to watch.
This wonderful man just seems so wholesome and positive. God bless you sir.
Thank you so much for your blessing and your very kind words, as well as for taking the time to watch the video. I hope to hear from you again. God's peace.
Mr. Ed
nice . i really like that info on what other stuff goes on . other than wrangling swarms and cut - outs . very informative . thanks again , stay safe
Just goes to show you there is a LOT more to wrangling bees than just doing a cut out. Glad you liked the video, thanks for watching. Stay safe yourself, God's peace Greg.
Mr. Ed
I wish I loved anything as much as this guy loves bees wax.
I bet you love LSU as much as I do, I attended there from '74 to '77. Thanks for your kind words and for watching, and I hope you will check out more of my over 450 bee wrangling/ bee rescue adventure videos and let me know what you think of them. By the way, I post a new video almost every Friday morning, and I look forward to hearing from you again soon. God's peace Anthony.
Mr. Ed
I built my first hive, bee's arriving next week. I am looking forward to all the wax.
I wish you all the success in your adventure! Thanks for watching. God's peace.
Mr. Ed
I'll tell you what with everything that's going on in this world this guy is such a nice breath of fresh air he's so nice and he's so uplift God help me I try to be that way myself but it is so hard thank you for sharing your positivity and your love for what you do yeah I think it's an amazing thing that you do all this for your church your Abbey for free. I think it is done like this I'm happy than my kids can watch you on TH-cam and see that not everyone is acting the same way out there God still says looking thank you so much I love the videos you're an awesome person and I love these are amazing and I love the wax God bless from my family to yours
Your kind words and blessings are greatly appreciated, thank you for them and for watching. God's peace Tammy.
Mr. Ed
You sir are what we used to call a character and believe me there are not many around these days. My setup was a lot smaller than yours and I found that a good long solar wax melter (three stages) at a low angle gave me wax so clean I did not have to do anything more to have it ready for sale. We did not have plastic foundation in those days so purchasing manufactured stuff was easyier than trying to make your own. Look forward to more videos.
My mom used to call me a character as well, but she always rolled her eyes as she said it. I just thought she must have something in them. I have come a long way in my 25 plus years of keeping bees, and along the way, the equipment has gotten a lot better and making things so much faster. Solar melters are great and just about anyone can make one, I never had the success that you had and always had to much trash in it. Thank you so much for your kind words and for watching. Until the next time, God's peace Bob.
Mr. Ed
I'm not gonna lie I wanna just take that stuff and chew on it I love the comb and the wax.
You are not the only one that feels that way. Thanks for watching. God's peace.
Mr. Ed
Your end result is truly remarkable. No wonder the bees want to get in it
The smell of the rendered wax when it's applied to the foundations is so good, I think that's the real reason the bees jump on it. Thanks for watching. God's peace Beth.
Mr. Ed
beeswax looks and smells delicious whenever i see some i want to take a bite out of it
It's to bad I could not get the smell to come through the video, it's fantastic. Thanks so much for watching. and I hope you will check out more of my videos, there's only 380 or so of them, and let me know what you think of those as well. God's peace.
Mr. Ed
