Rendering old beeswax making it useful once again.

One of my most favorite things about being a bee keeper is watching the number of bees in a hive swell at an incredible speed. Of course, one of the reasons I like seeing this is because with all those bees in a hive, they are going to be able to bring in a lot more honey than a hive with not so many bees.
I can't speak with certainty about bee keepers in other parts of the US , but for us living in Southeast Louisiana, we have enjoyed probably the best bee rearing season and now the strongest nectar flow that I have seen in at least 8 years, and to capitalize on that flow, I am working hard to keep one step ahead of the bees.
Before the bees can store all that nectar they are bringing in, they first need open cells, and to have open cells available, the bees need to produce and draw out wax. My thinking, give them waxed frames so all they have to do is draw out the wax instead of taking the time to produce it.
On this video I show once again how I render old bees wax, and then apply it to the plastic foundations using a new technique. For those interested in seeing how I applied the wax in previous years, the video link below will show that to you. I hope all are well, and know that I am praying for everyone in these difficult times. Please stay safe, God's peace always. Mr. Ed
• Getting ready for spli...
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.

The Rooster is a big ole boy.
@@JeffHorchoff hahaha good one!
The worlds happiest man, his smile’s contagious! 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🇺🇸
Amen.
And the beauty of that smile is it's genuine!
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
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
TH-cam recommending some interesting things now a days...
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
Why's this dude reminding me of Bob Ross with his weirdly happily attitude lol
You just made this chanell 10x better... thank you
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
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...
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
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
The Bob Ross of bees
Now that's a great compliment! Thanks for that and for watching. God's peace David.
Mr. Ed
i know nothing about bees or beeswax but i am now subscribed because this man is so enjoyable to watch
Your comment has made my day, thank you so much for your very kind words....and for subbing to my channel. In case you did not know, I post a new video every Friday, and I look forward to hearing from you again soon. Thanks for watching. God's peace.
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.
Morning Mr. Ed. hope you are keeping well and safe.
Thank you very much for your concern and for watching Dan. Yes, all is well, and getting very good at practicing safety measures. Stay safe yourself, God's peace Dan.
Mr. Ed
Very informative video MrEd and a brilliant idea I may add.
So glad to hear you enjoyed the video and found it informative. I really appreciate you taking the time to watch. God's peace.
Mr. Ed
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
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
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
Good morning, sir!! Have a great day.
And hello to you as well Tammy! Thank you for your well wishes and for taking the time to watch the video. God's peace.
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
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. 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 Ally.
Mr. Ed
This dude’s exuberance and sheer joy is legit life goals.
Thank you for your very kind words, they are greatly appreciated. I will say this about my joy, the source of it lies in my spirituality, and I draw from that my exuberance.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.
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
This is insanely interesting, I can’t believe how amazing bees are
So glad to hear of your interest, but most of my videos are on bee rescues. 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.

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
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
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
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
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
don't think i've ever seen anyone so excited about wax. good for you dude! 🙂
Thank you so much for your kind words, and it's not just the wax I'm excited about, it's everything bees do that spark my interest.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 Rick.
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
I love watching your videos. They are very informative, and your enthusiasm is contagious!
So glad to hear you enjoy watching, I'm grateful that you take the time to do so. And thank you also for your very kind words. Until the next time, God's peace Christina.
Mr. Ed
Thank you Jeff , man you was one busy bee yourself and your friend , god bless Mr Ed .
It was just another great day of bee wrangling.....without any bees of course. Thank you for your blessing and support. God's peace Peter.
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
Thank you for posting these videos. I inspire to be a beekeeper someday and you and dirtrooster are the reason why. Thank you.
I'm looking forward to the day when you wear a bee suit. I'm delighted to share my experiences, and grateful that you take the time to watch. God's peace.
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
TH-cam recommendation brought me here all i have to say you go jeff
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.
Mr. Ed
Bob Ross of 🐝 keeping! Love it
What a great compliment, thank you so much for that and 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
Glad to see you healthy and happy
Thank you for your concern Tim, all is well. Thanks for watching. Stay safe yourself, God's peace brother.
Mr. Ed
Such a happy soul
Your voice sounds so young. I think it’s the enthusiasm in your voice. You’re really having fun when you do this.
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
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
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
This popped up in my recommended and it was a very wholesome uplifting video to watch. Nice and calm and interesting. Keep up the great work! +1 subscriber!
Thank you very much for your kind words, and the fact that you subbed to my channel. I post new videos every Friday, and if you can't wait for a new one, there are over 380 old ones to check out. I look forward to hearing from you again soon. Thanks for watching. God's peace.
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 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.

I think this mans way of explaining things is extremely well done... good on you sir good on you
Thank you VERY much for your kind words and taking the time to watch. In case you are interested in watching more from my channel, I post a new video every Friday.....I just posted one. God's peace Brian.
Mr. Ed
Fascinating! As a kid when a bee landed on me (or a wasp!) I protested 'begone! begone thou! Such is our Englishness haha
I'd protest if it were a wasp as well, but would probably use stronger words. So glad to hear you enjoyed 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 Steven.
Mr. Ed
Wish I could find someone like you to take on an apprentice. I've always wanted to keep bee's
Believe it or not, I felt the same way when I started out. Since I could not find anyone, I watched a lot of TH-cam and went out on my own. Believe in yourself and your abilities, you will go far. Best to you Anthony. God's peace brother.
Mr. Ed
Are we just not going to address the old wizard that showed up in the time lapse?
Lol when he said it's an Abby it's no joke. That's one of the monks
No wizard there, that's a real modern day monk who lives at the monastery where I tend the bees for them. Thanks for watching. God's peace.
Mr. Ed
I thought it was friar Tuck.
Did the monk have a party gallon of ice cream? I was a little confused until I saw the Monk Run t-shirt.
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
I liked the part when the robed wizard came in to oversee the work being done for a while.
Because I keep the bees for a monastery in Louisiana and work on their property, the "wizard" was actually a monk as was the helper with me only he did not have on his wizard, I mean monk suit. 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 Sam.

thank you for including the monk in his robe that made my day
It's not very often a monk just happens to drop in on me while I'm working, but Br. Andrew does a lot of walking on Saturdays, and the door was open. I was happy for him to show up as well. Thanks for watching. God's peace.
Mr. Ed
* *before watching this video* * : that bees wax tilt cake got me REELED IN LIKE A FIIISH
Glad to hear you were "hooked" just by the thumbnail, but I certainly hope you enjoyed the rest of the video as well. Thanks for watching. God's peace Anna.

Good job Mr Ed 👍
It was a long day, but well worth the effort. Thanks for watching. God's peace my brother.

As a frenchwoman I gotta say those are some beautiful cheese wheels
They certainly do look like cheese wheels, but they smell a lot better than one.....even though I love the way cheese smells and tastes. Thanks for watching and leaving your comment Mari. God's peace.
Mr. Ed
The paler wax could be dyed and used for encaustic art. That is painting with wax. I'm sure some other ingredients are needed to make a batch of colored wax the right consistency to work with. Something new to learn about! I have been enjoying your videos for a long time now.
I learn new things every day about bees, I never even heard of encaustic art. Now I'm going to have to look it up. Thank you so much for being such a faithful follower of my bee wrangling adventures. Until the next time, God's peace Peggy Sue.

Mr. Ed
In all the years I have been keeping bees, I never saw mold this bad. Because our winters here in Louisiana are so mild, and the number of bees is way down, I have had mold issues in some of my hives. Fortunately, it was never this bad and I could deal with it by reducing boxes. Great hearing from you Leon, it's been a while. God's peace bother.
Mr. Ed
@@JeffHorchoff in regards to the mold issue try contacting some mycologists as there's a few species of mushrooms who's mycelium is able to produce substances that are antifungal/antibiotic/antibacterial compounds bees will actually seek out to self medicate. Some species also produce constituents that prevent colony collapse too. Molds are also the enemy of mycologists who aren't specifically studying molds.
You may also have luck contacting a university that has both mycology and agricultural beekeeping programs and see if their department heads would be willing to come together for some research and or consultations.
I first heard about this phenomenon with bees and mushrooms having a symbiotic relationship from Paul Stamets a few years ago. If I recall he works with Washington/Oregon state universities too.
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
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
Love that you give the wax back to the bees. Love everything you do.
You are to kind, and your words are greatly appreciated. Thanks for watching. God's peace.

@@JeffHorchoff Thanks for the reply! Is there a way I can purchase some honey? On the Abbey’s website, it’s pickup only. Let me know as I’d love to purchase for Christmas. Thanks, Mr. Ed!
I want some hardcore vegan telling me that this man doesn't deserve the honey he gets for the work he does.

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
I wonder if the Abbey is missing their Lenten Fish Fry basket ?😬 have a glorious day
I got it back to them before they knew it was gone. I hope a bit of wax won't change any flavoring of the fish. Thanks for watching. God's peace Mike.

I didn't think this would be something I was interested in, but I learned why my bees aren't drawing my foundation well. Thank you!! I'm sourcing an old crock pot from a garage sale now. I'll get my "fancy" wax melter (styrofoam cooler and pane of glass) out today and melt the cappings I have and get to work! Love to hear you laugh. :)

That was one of the monks who lives here at the abbey checking on our progress. Thanks for watching. God's peace Jinah.
Mr. Ed
Love watching ur videos in Wales UK
I wonder if maybe ya'll fellas could get yourselves one of them machines that lays the wax on the plastic foundation in the pattern of the honeycomb? Might be a bit more efficient. Or maybe some kind of manual extruder to lay it on maybe?
Daniel Nunya Bidnezz This is the most southern thing I have read on TH-cam, have a great day.
As expensive as those machines are, I'll be dipping foundations for a while yet. Thanks for watching. God's peace Daniel.

Hi Jeff, Say that beard is coming along nicely. You will be all set to play Santa at Christmas. Stu
Guess what Stu, the beard is gone. I could not take the heat and I shaved it off the other night. Once October gets here though, the beard will reappear. Thanks for watching. God's peace brother.
Mr. Ed
Make beard balm from the wax you handsome silver fox, you deserve it
You may bee a bit disappointed if you watch my Fridays post, I'm sporting a new look. Thanks for your kind words and for watching. God's peace.
Mr. Ed
Jeff Horchoff Bees can’t wait to see it then, I’ve been watching more of your videos since I made that comment so I’m prepared to meet the young man trapped under that ocean of white feathers.
Can’t wait for more updates on the long box either. May the 4th be with you brother!
I love your channel. I don’t do any of it but I love watching. You make it entertaining. Thank you.
Thank you so much for your very kind words and taking the time to write them down to let me know your thoughts......and thanks for watching as well. Till the next one, God's peace Raul.

This is really interesting. A big big job! Thanks for sharing.
So glad to hear you found the video interesting, and you'r right, it is a big job that days days to complete. Thanks for watching. God's peace Steven.
Mr. Ed
I miss my wax processing. I like it more than honey extraction. I'm laid up for another five months. I've tried to get other beekeepers to help me and even my club couldn't get out to help me. I've taught a lot of lessons to the beekeepers in that club. I just needed some help. I'm guessing with COVID people were hesitant to go out to the hive and meet me there. I get it
So, I'm hoping to be able to process whatever I have left and pray I still have bees left. If not I'll start selling off my equipment and drastically downsize.
So sorry to hear of your difficulties, this Covid thing has got the entire world messed up. I hope all turns out well for you Bob. God's peace brother.
Mr. Ed
Where about are you located? I have always found the whole thing very interesting and would be willing to help you as long as you tell me what to do and location wise is right...

Looks like peaceful and deeply satisfying work. Thank you for your video.
I do love to render the wax, plus it smells so good doing it. Thank you for taking the time to watch the video, and I certainly hope you will check out a few more of mine as well, love to know what you thought. By the way, I post a new video every Friday. Until the next time, God's peace Rebecca.
Mr. Ed
I have no real interest in bees or beekeeping, but watching someone talk about their passion is nearly impossible to not listen to and find the topic interesting.
Thank you for your kind words and taking a chance watching a guy talk about bees and carrying on about beeswax. Sure hope you take a few more chances and watch a couple more videos. Looking forward to hearing from you again. Till the next one, God's peace Scott.
Mr. Ed

Mr. Ed
If you ever asked me if I thought i would enjoy spending almost 30 minutes watching Ron Pearlman's little brother render beeswax....
So, did you enjoy it? I will say this about me and Ron, other than the height difference, we do share a remarkable resemblance. 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.
Mr. Ed

Mr. Ed

Mr. Ed
@@JeffHorchoff It is unfortunately rare to see someone so naturally overjoyed and fulfilled in life, but that's why your videos are so wonderful :)
Oh my goodness I would cherish that wax! Lol There are so many art projects I’d love to do with natural wax lovingly cultivated by bees and people working together symbiotically! I really enjoyed this video! Thanks for sharing your skill! ~Sheeara, Alaska
I feel the same way about the wax as you do. Because I can appreciate how much work it took the bees to make the wax to begin with and then manipulate it to crate a hive, to treat it callously would be a sacrilege.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 Sheeara.
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.
@@mimoubadisi8316 this is what the world has come to? Lol Scamming people from the comment section of TH-cam? Shame on you. I wonder what would happen if I stood in my garage and told people I’m a car. Could I maybe get new tires for free? It’s ridiculous people are claiming to be kids to take advantage of honest, good hearted people. This channel has no content. It’s not attached to anything that makes them look like less of a scammer. And using bad grammar is often a foreign (to the us) screening tactic scammers use. The logic behind it is if you’re overlooking the bad grammar and buying into the lie, you might be lonely or lack the trouble shooting skills to decide between people and the scammers. I hope all you good hearted people out there leave this situation alone. You’d be surprised at what scammers can steal from you involuntarily with even the smallest detail about you (like name and age, or location, IP addresses).
Hi Mr. Ed!!!!! It's been a long time. I use a collendar to strain my wax. In my pot with melted wax I'll put in the collander and leave it there. Only the wax goes in and keeps out the slop. Then I'll take a laddal and scoop out the clean wax and put it in pot with an inch of hot water. No more slop to worry about until I'm done all my wax. I just keep adding wax and let it melt. In the end after I've ladled the clean wax I'll have a thin layer of wax on top of the slum gum. I let that cool and throw the little bit left in the solar wax melter.
One time and that's it. No more straining and re-straining.
Loved your waxing frames section
Good luck to you for the rest of your year.
This video was uploaded one week ago and just got blasted off for few days now. TH-cam algorithm is so weird😂
I'm always surprised when it happens, and with over 27 million views on my channel, it's happened a few times. Thanks for taking the time to watch the video, and if you'r interested, I post a new video every Friday. God's peace Alexa.
Mr. Ed
Good morning Jeff!
And hello to you as well Darleen, I hope you have a great week end. Thanks for watching. God's peace.
Mr. Ed
Mr Ed, cool video! That’s a lot of wax on each foundation! 80 pounds equals 1,280 ounces divided by 500 that’s 2.56 ounces of wax on each foundation and I thought I put a lot of wax on foundations? I know those bees are going to jump on that and go to drawing. Please let us know how the bees take to it! As you know God is in CONTROL!
It's super heavy, and the bees are going to love it. I have all these boxes marked to keep tabs on them, you can bet I'll be doing an update real soon. I for one am delighted that God is in control. Thanks for watching. God's peace Don.
Mr. Ed
Wow that is really cool. That will give them a leg up on honey production for sure. Thank you for sharing :-)
Glad you enjoyed the video, thanks for watching. You are correct, this will really give the bees a jump not having to produce their own wax. God's peace.
Mr. Ed
As a blacksmith natural bees wax makes the best coating for sealing up the warm steel to help stop oxidation and rust. Do you sale any of your wax?
I did not know that, but I'm not surprised to hear it reduces and hinders the development of rust. I have always had a fascination for blacksmiths, the medium of the craft/trade is just plain bad. As a wood worker for almost 50 years, I know the satisfaction of creating a useful product from scratch. I'm sorry to say, I do not have any to sell as we simply do not produce enough even for all the things we need it for here at the abbey. Thanks so much for watching and leaving your comment. God's peace Ivey.
Mr. Ed
Jeff - what you need is a "Spider" like they use in commonly oriental cooking to strain the "trash" out of your wax. Also my neighbor who keeps bees wraps his dirty wax in double layer of cheese cloth when he renders his wax down after everything is melted down he has an old turkey frying pot that he has put a couple drains into so he can press all the excess wax out. Have a nice day and pray you have a successful Bee season
What I did not show was the debris that is placed in the tray is on a drain pan. The wax that is still on the cocoons runs through the holes in the pan and dries at the bottom of the pan. I collect all that and render it as well. It works very well for me. Thanks for your suggestion and for watching. God's peace.
Mr. Ed
The mystery amerimutt meat assistant caught my attention, for sure! Great video Jeff, as always; even got the wild life in there!
The presence of a monk can get anyone's attention. Glad to have you following along, thanks for watching. God's peace.
Mr. Ed
Interesting work! I love beeswax!
The smell of freshly rendered wax is wonderful! Thanks for watching. God's peace Anna Marie.
Mr. Ed
Hi Mr Ed another great video so tell me mate with the bees wax that you rendered the off white wax is the cappings and the yellow wax is the combs so what was the darker wax off cheers
The colour of wax isn’t based of what it is from it is based on the age so the caps are the youngest wax then the comb so the darker wax would be just older
The color depends on the age of the wax as well as how many times the wax has been rendered. The more the wax is cleaned, the yellower and brighter it gets. AT least that's what I've noticed. Thanks for watching. God's peace Michael.
Mr. Ed
@@JeffHorchoff Thanks mate and God's peace to you also
@@bevandarke2300 Thanks mate i am just learning about the wonderful world of the bees as you can probably tell cheers
Just found your channel and watched a lot of your videos already! Really captivating as you truly show your passion for it! Love from Greece!
What a joy for me to hear when new viewers to my channel like what they see and then go on to watch more, thank you so much for doing that. Just wanted to add, I have over 400 video you could watch, and if that was not enough for you, I post a brand new one every Friday. I'm looking forward to hearing from you on a few of those. Until the next time, God's peace.
Mr. Ed
