First, Merry Christmas and Happy New year to everyone! It's been a great year of bee wrangling adventures, and I am grateful to all for having been so dedicated to following along, thank you all so much!
As Christmas was approaching, and the idea of giving honey as stocking stuffers, or just because it's just so good, was a hot one, the demand for honey from St. Joseph Abbey was extremely high. In just 2 weeks, over 300 bottles were sold. Because of the constant need to have honey on the shelves at the gift shop, I had to get busy getting our crystallized honey into it's liquid state FAST!
On this weeks video I show show the exact process I go through changing crystallized honey into honey that can be dispensed into our bottles in a smooth, golden liquid state. I realize that the method I employ is not the standard, hobbyist procedure, but then again, having over 150 hives does tend to produce a bit more honey, and, creative ways of handling that much honey need to be developed. For my needs, a drum lift and a 30 gallon kitchen kettle were the solution to my dilemma.
Because the video is a long one, I'll shorten the description with just the very brief explanation of what the video's about. God's peace to all in the new year! Mr. Ed
Dear Mr. Ed, you are truly an inspiration, not only your love for your bees, but your warm heart, your passion for helping others, and how you present yourself. I've been watching your video's for over three years now. They have helped me deal with depression and settling my mind. By what you show, and how you show it, by making us all feel part of what you do, you are truly making this a better world. So thank you for yet another year of great video's. Merry Christmas and a happy, healthy and loving new year to you and those you love.
Thank you so much for your very kind words Jay, and I'm happy to hear that by watching my videos your sufferings are lessened. It gives me great pleasure to share the joy I have in my heart which I express in my videos and my love for bees. I wish you and your loved ones a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year as well. God's peace brother.
Mr. Ed
17:09 is where you will find a reference to the hydrogen peroxide
That's correct, I looked it up in medpub
thanks
Thank you
thank you so much
Philip Gibbs If you don’t see value in other parts of this video then you might as well go and better watch something else on the net.
I love that old building. I can’t wait to move my boxes in the corner you’re giving me. You won’t even notice them. They are just as airy as the building.
Nice video on decrystallizing honey. I’m about to finish off the monk bread you gave me with some crystallized honey.
I like it chrysialized and it was very nice of Mr. Ed to offer you a storage space in the new building. Maybe he IS mellowing out a litt..........................nah!
Don't get me wrong, I'd be more than happy to give you a corner of the building to store your boxes, my biggest concern is that I don't want to bring anymore termite in the building, there's plenty enough of them already. Once you get that little problem straightened out, we can talk about it. I guess it's true what you said in your last video, you've still got everything anyones ever given you. If you still have some of that monk bread I gave you at the beginning of December, it's got to have more green on it than your Christmas tree. God's peace brother.
Mr. Ed
@@JeffHorchoff What are a few thousand termites among friends!

Can't get enought vid's from you guys. The Best Honey coming from the south..
@@JeffHorchoff That bread was only green on the outside but Elizabeth made me throw it out. Poor thing. Her stomach can't digest the things mine can.
*I just went through the comments and gave every one a like - just for your support for Mr. Ed* 🙂
You the man Marty, thanks so much! God's peace brother.
Mr. Ed
Marty, i did the same to. Have a good one .👍👍
@@JeffHorchoff Thank you for all your effort and your happy spirit Brother.
@@HILLBILLYSFIREWOOD good job!
@@MartyInTheWoods thanks
"Sugared" honey is what we called it. My mamaw and papaw always had a big vegetable garden with several rows of sunflower for winter birds and a large fruit orchard. Fence rows were left for blackberries to propagate for harvest. Milkweed, thistle and goldenrod were left in the pasture fringes. One of their neighbors kept honeybees. Every year he'd "tithe" (that's what he said) 4-6 quarts of honey to them as a share of his honey harvest. There was always crystallized honey in the pantry at their house. Mamaw made wonderful big fluffy biscuit and I loved the "sugared" honey on her buttered biscuits. We churned the butter in 1/2 gallon mason jars while we visited in the front room where the potbelly stove was. 60+year memories. There may even be some in the cellar at my mother's today. I'm gonna see next time I go for a visit. Probably have to chisel it out by now. :-) Thanks for bringing this video.
As a kid growing up on a farm in the early 60's 30 miles below New Orleans, I as very familiar with the bounty of nature, and the wonders of what was in the pantry. Unfortunately, we never had the pleasure of raw honey, but there was never a shortage of seafood or fresh fruits and vegetables. The good thing about going back and finding that honey, it still will be good even if you have to use a chisel to get at it. God's peace Gerard.
Mr. Ed
@@JeffHorchoff Helloy! do you speak Russian? I am from Ukraine!
What a lovely memory you shared. Thankyou
Sounds like wonderful memories of beautiful times "PRECIOUS 🧡".
You won't have to chisel it out, putting the jar in warm water will liquify the honey to any desired degree, depending on how long you leave it in.
Jeff a break to watch. Hope your Christmas was grand. May 2020 be good to ya!

Phil, I'm glad you got to watch this one, I was thinking of you as I was demonstrating the lift and kettle.....maybe something for you to consider. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you and your loved ones as well. God's peace brother.
Mr. Ed
It looks like you had a friend flying around looking for a taste as well Jeff. I hope Santa was good to you my friend. I'll see you next year Jeff !
I have to keep the windows open when I use the kettle to get fresh air in the building, and even though there are screes on the windows, bees still manage to get inside. If you noticed, I closed the lid of the kettle as I was taking the honey out so no bees wound up in there. Till next year, God's peace JP.
Mr. Ed
Wow! I had no idea! Thank you for sharing this.
It was the first I had heard of it as well, that's one of the reasons I stated it. It just so disappointing that I found out about the hydrogen peroxide in honey from the Dirt Rooster. God's peace Doc.
Mr. Ed
Ed I genuinely love your channel. My mental health hasn’t been great throughout the covid lockdown here and you really do help take my mind off things. So thank you 🤍
So happy to hear my videos bring you shelter in the storm, thanks so much for watching, and I will be making more. Stay safe, God's peace Lizzie.
Mr. Ed
We're a family out here. Rarely any harsh criticisms, and always helping out and learning from one another.
So many times I get "lost" in the bees. It's mesmerizing. Theraputic in alot of ways. Like staring into a campfire.
Mr. Ed is the best!!! Great video and happy new year!!!!
I definitely would not go that far, but I do like to think I give the Rooster a run for his money. Glad you enjoyed the video, and Happy New Year to you and your loved ones as well. God's peace.
Mr. Ed
I sooo love honey when it gets older and granular. Crunchy honey! You got some you don't want to mess with this old disabled nurse would be proud to have your left overs! You already sent me a jar a few years ago out of the goodness of your heart. I haven't forgotten your kindness. It's rare in this world, so it's great to know people like you exist!
the Pooh Bear in me enjoyed this video very much!
Although I don't indulge in PAGANISM HOLIDAY'S, I still enjoy yr videos, I'm a nature person and I love Bees, always have sense I was a kid, I've been fascinated with them, and yr KNOWLEDGE of showing them love, keeps my heart warm, ty Mr. Ed
I love your kind words, thank you for them and for watching. Until the next time, God's peace Tammy.
Mr. Ed
@@JeffHorchoff Always, glad tidings 4 you and yr's Mr. Bee Man Ted", makes it happen" yr da man Mr. Ted
Thank you Mr Ed.
I love your love for 🐝's.
And 🍯
I was wondering if my love for bees could be seen by my actions, thanks for the confirmation and for watching. God's peace Willa.
Mr. Ed
As always happy to see a video I had broken my phone an my new phone I don't know if u hadn't put up vision or my phone wasn't getting notifications either way it been a while an I'm glad to see ya again this weekend I'm sure Trisha My daughter will be happy to see Mr Ed lol god bless you an happy holiday to you an your family
It's been a while since I have heard from you Jeff. to be safe, go ahead and resubscribe to my channel and make sure to hit the bell. By doing both of these things you will be notified weekly when I post a new video. I wish you and your loved ones a blessed new year as well. God's peace brother.
Mr. Ed
If anyone is interested, 17:05 is where he mentions the hydrogen peroxide forming as a result of the honey heating up. Videos like this make me really appreciate the ones that are succinct and to the point. I was originally interested in what hydrogen peroxide had to do with honey, but had to endure over 17 minutes of unrelated content (relative to me). I'm sure regular viewers liked the whole thing though.
My channel is primarily about honey bee rescues, however, I have many interests, and those interests do make me deviate from the primary. I appreciate you muddling through the video to learn what you were looking for, and at the same time, I hope you came away with something unexpected. God's peace Rick.
Mr. Ed
I sure learned a lot about how to process my honey . Was so happy to hear you say GOD BLESS at the end of it. GOD BLESS YOU SIR.
I'm very happy to share my knowledge on bees and bee keeping, I'm very happy to hear you have found it useful. Thank you for your blessings and for watching, it is greatly appreciated. Also, 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 Jeff.
Mr. Ed
Jeff - I just wanted to take a minute to thank you for taking the time to do all your videos throughout the year. I have been doing bees for over 10 years, but I always find your videos both informative and entertaining. I know the effort it takes to make a single you tube video so your effort is commendable. The love you have for beekeeping is infectious and comes across every video you do. Keep up the great work.
Have a very Merry Christmas and a Happy Healthy New Year!! God Bless!!
First, thank you for your blessing, one of the best perks I have for having a TH-cam channel is receiving so many blessings. Second, Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you and your loved ones as well! Finally, thank you so much for your support and kind words, they are greatly appreciated. I'm looking forward to next years posts and I hope you will be following along. God's peace Ken.
Mr. Ed
@@JeffHorchoff: I am new to this channel and wonder if you would be so kind as to tell me who Mr. Ed is and how he figures in the honey production. Thank you.
God bless you in the new year. Another new decade off bee keeping. God bless your mama and all those at the Abbey.
Thank you for your blessing and new year wishes, and a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you and your loved ones as well JJ. God's peace.
Mr. Ed
Thanks Mr Ed!!
You are very welcome Larry, and thank you very much for watching. God's peace brother.
Mr. Ed
That building need to be tore down, and rebuilt. Look at all the holes I couldn't even use it as a storage shed! I just feed it back to my BEES ; ) They love it, or cook with it. They claim honey NEVER SPOILS ! I never seen spoiled honey! Seen it water down to much, crystallized, and dirty with bug parts > but never spoiled ! Used honey on cuts too, make it heal FASTER! Happy New Years!
No way is this building being torn down, way to much potential. Besides, it did not cost a penny. Merry Christmas and Happy New year brother.
Mr. Ed
@@JeffHorchoff still would be better off rebuilding it and use the good stuff
Biochemist here! You did a fantastic job explaining the whole of glucose oxidase, Mr.Ed! The interesting thing is that the enzyme is inactive when the honey is very viscous. But when you warm it up or dilute it slightly with water to make it more flowing, that’s when the enzyme can really be freely flowing and is able to convert water to hydrogen peroxide (H2O2). Woo! :)
Thank you for that info, I will use it in the future. 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
Hi Jeff. I love hearing you say how cold it is at Christmas down there! Forty degrees! LOL Up here in North Dakota, 40F at Christmas is considered 'sun tanning' weather! We're blessed with piles of snow in the parking lots all the way into early May in some years... I feel your pain! LOL
I am known to be quite the complainer when the temps drop below 60, so glad to hear you can feel my pain. By the way, I was told that folks up North, anything north of Interstate 10, have ice water running in their veins and that's why cold weather does not bother them. Is that really true? God's peace Larry.
Mr. Ed
@@JeffHorchoff Actually Jeff, cold doesn't seem to bother anyone up here... We all start complaining about the heat when it gets over 80F. One other thing....they switch out the after dinner mints in restaurants for Prozac in the winter! Clinical depression and binge drinking are a curse with this northern society, constant monochrome landscape of the American tundra 5+ months wears on peoples psyche. Strange place when people wear wool long-johns to bed at night! LOL Blessings to you Jeff
@@fuzzball57 Truly, I'm grateful to live in Southeast Louisiana. No matter where one resides, there are always conditions that wear on the psyche of a person. The struggle is finding peace, without the use of medication or alcohol, regardless of conditions. This challenge is where life is really lived.....or not. It sounds as if you have found that peace Larry, and I am happy for you. God's peace brother.
Mr. Ed
Awesome 👍👍👍Thanks for sharing. It was the night before Christmas and all through the Abbey not even a mouse made a sound except the bees in the hives going buzz buzz buzz and Jeff in his bed dreaming of honey plums and all the bee wrangling he will be doing in 2020. LOL Happy New Year to you Jeff
I do dream of bees and honey, but it's al year long, not only at Christmas. And a very blessed New Year to you and yours as well. God's peace.
Mr. Ed
Hi Jeff, was thinking about you over the holidays. Hope you had a great one. Glad to see another video.
Thank you for the well wishes Jeremy, they are greatly appreciated. Merry Christmas and HappyNew year to you and your loved ones as well. God's peace brother.
Mr. Ed
That is what they use in honey patches for burns, rashes and other abrasions. It works like magic. Peroxide has been used for cleaning wounds since the Egyptians.
And now I eat it because it tastes so good. God's peace JJ.
Mr. Ed
@@JeffHorchoff It's not hydrogen peroxide you're eating Ed its just aerated honey. Try tasting H2O2 next time you get some from your pharmacy; it wont taste sweet.
@@Brigidz Honey naturally produces hydrogen peroxide when honey is mixed with water and then heated. Imagine you are a bee and somehow water leaks into your hive and gets on the honey. That honey would spoil into a toxic sludge and the bees wouldn't be able to do anything with it. They would have to relocate their entire colony. If you are a bee and produce and enzyme to add to your honey so if your honey gets wet and then hot from the heat produced by the bees themselves the honey wont spoil you'll have a much better chance at survival.
So to recap that is absolutely hydrogen peroxide being produced from the honey and you shouldn't talk about things you know nothing about.
@@Typhus-th6ud What you've written is incorrect. I'd like you to give Jeff more credit. He wouldn't allow his hives to get so wet the honey turned into toxic sludge. It seems your knowledge of honey production is as lacking as your knowledge of basic chemistry is
@@Brigidz smh what I've written is 100% correct
Always educational watching your videos. Interesting about the Hydrogen Peroxide. I have been fascinated with all things bees since I first started my studies. My brother maintains the hives. I'm still freaked about getting stung🙈😂but oh how I love these girls ( drones too, I guess;)
Bees simply are fascinating, and the longer I'm around them, the greater my fasciation with them grows. I'm no fan of getting stung, but I endure the pain to enjoy the satisfaction of being around them. Keep up your studies and love for the bees. God's peace.
Mr. Ed
Marry Christmas and Happy New Year to you aswell.
Thank you so much Lorena. Looking forward to hearing from you next year as well. God's peace.
Mr. Ed
Hi Jeff, Happy Friday. You got cleaned up real nice. My hubby shaved his head bald the other day as well. Looks like Ripley from the Aliens movies ! Glad to see such beautiful country. And you fould your queen. Thank you Jesus. We are still "in house" till May 25 now. Hope all is well down there and that you are doing good too.
Maybe being in lock down makes a man do strange things. Thanks for your concern and for watching the video. Stay safe yourself, God's peace.
Mr. Ed
Hello there Mr. Ed. Thank you very much for sharing this. I especially loved to see the bees working away at the end. Hope you had a wonderful Christmas. Wishing you a great New Year. God bless.
And a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you as well! I look forward to hearing from you next year as much as I did this year. God's peace.
Mr. Ed
Merry Christmas and happy new year! Always love the honey processing content
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you as well! So glad you like the processing videos, I'm a big fan of them myself. God's peace.
Mr. Ed
Mr Ed I can't believe u didn't believe the guru dirt rooster . ...he is my bee guru hero
I trust what the Rooster says just about as far as I can throw him, or even lift him up. God's peace brother.
Mr. Ed
Ok. It's 7:20 A.M. EST on May 29, 2020. I just sat here and read all 795 comments.
One person asked if you were a monk. I wasn't surprised that you wanted to be one in the future but you better hurry up and join. Your sainthood is waiting. In fact, the ceremony should have concluded. I have never seen so many repetitious statements, suggestions, and questions. Yet through it all, you kept your calm and displayed the perfect manners of a southern gentleman. BRAVO. But, seriously your Sainthood is waiting in the wings. Hurry up and claim it. LOL...
Thank you very much for your kind words, and a great comment. I feel that if someone watches my video and leaves a comment, the least I owe them is a reply. I spend many hours of my day responding, but I think it's the right thing to do. As far as becoming a saint, I am hoping and praying for that to happen one day. I'm very impressed you read all those comments. Thanks so much for watching my video and leaving your comment. God's peace.
Mr. Ed
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you Mr Ed!! As always I've learned something new and miraculous from watching your video! Thank you and God Bless you and yours!
Thank you for your blessings, and I wish you and yours a joyous Christmas and a Happy New year as well. God's peace Mary.
Mr. Ed
I have watched the rooster go into his memory bank and when he comes out with it I know he’s telling the truth without even researching it yet. He doesn’t blurt something out he pulls it out and delivers it to in great detail. I know you love the rooster just like I do and you two do wonderful things I appreciate both of you very much.
Thanks so much for your kind words concerning myself and the Rooster. We are great friends and both of us love sharing our experiences and knowledge concerning bees. God's peace David.
Mr. Ed
Merry Christmas and Happy New Years to you too Mr. Ed!
And a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you and yours as well! Keep posting! God's peace brother.
Mr. Ed
That's a really nice machine... and new shop space! Thanks for the info! I just caught my first swarm yesterday. Was surprisingly easy!
I do love our honey house, it suits our need very well. Congratulations on the swarm catch, now go get more! Thanks for watching. God's peace.
Mr. Ed
@@JeffHorchoff Cheers! They are making queen cells... I am waiting and ready! :) God bless my friend!
Merry Christmas & A Happy New Year! Great vid & always love the DirtRooster digs! And his on you! Oh, and that's one great beard. Don't lose it!
Jeff fm Woodbridge, Va.
And a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you and your loved ones as well Jeff! I have to admit, I do love trash talking the Rooster, it's just a lot of fun. The beard shows up right after our first cold front moves through, and leaves when the weather starts staying above 80 degrees. I do like wearing it in the winter, it really keeps my face warm. God's peace brother.
Mr. Ed
Thank you Jeff. Merry Christmas to you also. This was a good educational video. Interesting about the foam. Next time I have some I’ll try it.
And a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you and your loved ones as well Randy! When you taste the foam, you'll be wishing there was more of it. God's peace brother.
Mr. Ed
Thank for sharing your information. I tell you , you have beautiful smile on your face when you talk and I love that smile .
Thank you for your kind words, they are greatly appreciated. and thanks for watching as well. 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 brother.
Mr. Ed
You jus made everyone envious of your setup, that is very nice! Great video, I am also feeding my bees pollen, these warm days they are on it like crazy! Spring is not that far away can’t wait!
My intent is not to make others envious, rather simply show what someone considering stepping up their operation should be considering. I have always been fascinated by industrial equipment, and derive a lot of enjoyment implementing and using it to do a job. I started my obsession with wood working equipment, and it has now moved over to bee keeping. I looked at my pollen feeder about an hour ago and there were several hundred bees feeding. We are only weeks away from the first blooms of Swamp Maple and willow. Like you, I can/t wait. God's peace Joe.
Mr. Ed
God Bless Mr. Ed! Have a blessed 2020!! I can’t wait to see what new adventures you discover!
And a bless and happy new year to you and your loved ones as well Holli! I am so looking forward to see what new wrangling adventures I will experience and share them with everyone who choses to watch. thank you for your blessing and for following along. till the next one, God's peace.

Congratulations on the new workspace! Man, that honey looked good enough to eat, even crystalized! God bless you and your work in the new year.
Your blessing and kind words are greatly appreciated Mac, thank you.And thanks for taking all the time to follow along with my wrangling adventures. Looking forward to sharing a lot more next year, and I hope you will be watching. Happy New Year and God's peace brother.
Mr. Ed
I've just got the one hive, way up here in Maine, but they're happy bees, and my little ones are always excited to see what they're up to. I can't imagine having as many hives as you do! Magnificent work.
As a keeper of bees where there is more cold weather than hot, I have a deep respect for you. Now way I could keep bees where there's snow on the ground for more than 1 day every 10 years. Thanks so much for watching and being a bee keeper. God's peace brother.
Mr. Ed
@@JeffHorchoff that's awfully kind of you to say. They get hay bales windbreaks for the winter, and that seems to make all the difference, but I've certainly had winters when the bees don't survive, and I have to start over.
It's disappointing when that happens, but start over I do.
These made it through, but we had a comparatively mild winter, so I don't know that it means they're particularly hardy.
Jeff, I hope this new year brings you many blessings. Thank you for sharing your beekeeping with us and of course, sharing your love for Christ. God bless you and Happy New Year!
Thank you so much for your blessings, support of my efforts of rescuing bees, and your well wishes for the new year, and I wish the very same for you and your loved ones as well Mary Jane. God's peace.

Mr. Ed
See the 🐝 flying around . He must feel he just found the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow 🌈!
Did you notice I closed the lid as the bee was flying, I did not want it winding up in the honey. I'm sure the bee was thinking it hit the mother load. Thanks for watching. God's peace Heather.
Mr. Ed
Thank you for being positive ,it is always enjoyable to watch your videos.
It's so easy to be good spirited when I get to spend so much time with the bees. I'm delighted to hear my videos bring you a bit of joy, but It is me who is appreciative of you for taking the time to watch, thank you very much for that. till next year, God's peace Jane.
Mr. Ed
I miss the hive maintenance videos. OMG stop saying kettle!!! You are making me want kettle corn! :P You should get you a nice sealed hickory or oak oar to stir that stuff up with instead of using a bare 2x2. The other thing you can do with crystqalized honey is run it through a juicer and separate the crystals from the liquid to make your own honey sugar and then eat or feed the liquid honey to the bees.
There will be lots more hive maintenance videos next year, stay tuned, and who does not love kettle corn? I wish I had the time to make other honey products, who knows, maybe one day. Thanks for watching. God's peace brother.
Mr. Ed
Mary Christmas and Happy new year. Take care buddy. Buzz buzz
Thanks for the help with the thumbs up brother, very kind of you to do that for me. Also, Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you and your loved ones as well. Till the next video, buzz buzz, and God's peace.
Mr. Ed
One little fact is honey that is high in glucose crystallizes the fastest.
Another fact I will be repeating in the future. Thanks for the info and for watching Bubba. God's peace brother.
Mr. Ed
Super interesting. So what makes honey higher in glucose??
@@holliglendenning3149 the bees nectar choices determine the concentrations of which sugar type is formed. It's complicated.
Enjoyed the video Jeff. That was interesting about the hydrogen peroxide. Hope y'all had a blessed Christmas and I wish y'all a blessed New Year from North Carolina.
Thank you for your well wishes Ron, and I truly hope you and your's will have the same. God's peace brother.
Mr. Ed
You are such a joy to watch. Love the old building, it has true charm. Happy New Year and God bless.

Mr. Ed
Always looking forward to watching your videos. May Gods grace be on you an yours through out the coming year brother.
Wandering how you got Mr Ed from Jeff?
The name "Mr. Ed" was the name given to me when I first started working at the Post Office 38 years ago. When I retired after 27 years, I liked it so much, I continued to call myself that. Then, when I started my TH-cam channel, that's what I decided to call myself. Thank you for your blessing and I hope the same for you and your loved ones as well. God's peace Mark.
Mr. Ed
And a Merry Christmas to you along with a blessed start to the new year. This is another fascinating insight to the partnership you have with the bees, honey, processing, and into the gift shop for people to buy. Pretty neat!
And a Merry Christmas and a Happy New year to you and your loved ones as well Juliana! I really don't think when the monks started with the bees they had the notion of selling it in the gift shop, I think they wanted it primarily for their table. Well surprise, surprise, God has blessed the program, and it is flourishing. I can tell you this much, I'm happy to be doing my part, and grateful the bees are doing theirs. God's peace.
Mr. Ed

Merry Christmas (belated) and a very Happy New Year Jeff. Hope to see you in February.
And Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you as well! I'm looking forward to the visit. God's peace brother.
Mr. Ed
Love that you share the processes behind your amazing bee rehoming adventures.. Happy New Year to you Jeff and your loved ones :)
It is shear joy for me to share all my wrangling adventures, and I am ever grateful to all who chose to follow along. I wish you and yours a Happy New Year as well Kelly. Till next year, God's peace.
Mr. Ed
Hello MR.Ed, I enjoy your bee videos, But, I also like watching you do woodworking . My Daughter started being a bee keeper, and she loves it.But we have had winters that can get to -30 below and she looses most of the bees. I have been helping her build beehive's and it is a lot of fun. But I am allergic to bee's so I stay far away from the beehives. haha.
Thank you so much for taking the time to watch my wrangling adventures as well as the shop builds. Most folks prefer watching the bees, but I was a wood worker long before I was a bee keeper, and it has always been my first love. So happy to hear you enjoy the builds as well. My hat's off to your daughter raising bees in such cold temperatures, she is a real bee keeper in my estimation. I'm sure she greatly appreciates your help, and I'm sure you enjoy building the equipment. Keep up your good works and please continue watching. God's peace James.
Mr. Ed
@@JeffHorchoff I check in every day to see what is going on. My wood hobby is Scroll saw art.
@@jamescharles7614 Very cool James, using a scroll saw is one tool I have never mastered. God's peace brother.
Mr. Ed
I learned something new again from you, Mr. Ed. Never knew there's hydrogen peroxide in honey!
This must bee the first video you watched. What I have learned since making this video is hydrogen peroxide is in the chemical equation of honey, not the foam that appears on the surface, though it's in that as well since that is honey too. See, I learned something as well. Thanks for watching. God's peace Elle.
Mr. Ed
Wow that building has GREAT POTENTIAL and so many possibilities.
I'm happy to hear that you see what I see. Thanks for watching and leaving your thoughts. God's peace Jennifer.
Mr. Ed
I also wanted to say Happy New Year & Blessing's For You & Yours in Your New Year.
Thank you very much TerriBeth, and I wish you and your loved ones the very same. God's peace.
Mr. Ed
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year Mr Ed.
And a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you and your loved ones as well! God's peace DCM.
Mr. Ed
Been watching you for years Ed and I just want to say thank you for all you do brother, God bless you!
Thank you for your blessings and for the long time support of my channel. God's peace.
Mr. Ed
Learning the entire process is fascinating.
Fantastic content and a wonderful teacher/presenter.
Thank you Mr Ed.🐝
The pleasure is all mine Ian, it's a real joy for me to share my bee wrangling experiences, and I'm grateful to all who follow along. Thanks so much for being one of those. God's peace brother.
Mr. Ed
I was told the beekeeping are the oldest profession. I thought it was something else.
Keeping bees has been going on for a very long time, but there are older expressions of fun. God's peace Ola.
Mr. Ed
Whoring and killing are the oldest professions.
Prostitution is actually the oldest
@@NeilBooth if you have to say it like that, yeah
@@frostedlambs How did they pay? With the oldest known commodity. Honey.
Its a chicken and the egg. Both are better with honey.
Honey was here before cash.
Merry Christmas, wish I could have made it to the LA meeting. Enjoy the video's, keep up the good work.
And a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you and your loved ones as well Robert! Who knows, maybe one day you will find yourself in Louisiana. When that day comes, I sure hope you will make it a point to come visit me at the abbey. God's peace brother.
Mr. Ed
You are awesome! God bless you and your family!
Thank you for your blessing and very kind words Ely. Looking forward to hearing from you next year. God's peace.
Mr. Ed
I've gave a few people some of my raw organic honey for mrsa also known as staphylococcus infection and in 2 days it helped more than 2 weeks of man made chemicals.
Its really amazing what honey can do.
darknature79: Thank you for sharing that. I know of one person who is just getting over MRSA. It's a real killer diller and I will tell him about the honey.
*Merry Christmas Mr. Ed and Bee happy in the New Year*
Merry Christmas and Happy New year to you and your loved ones as well. God's peace brother.
Mr. Ed
Great video Mr. Ed, I hope you had a Merry Christmas, and continued success! As always, thank u for sharing, and God Bless
2020 🙏🏻 🇺🇸
And a very Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you and your loved ones as well Gavin! thank you so much for your blessing and support, and I look forward to hearing from you again all through the new year. God's peace.
Mr. Ed
Fun video. Honey looks amazing!
I'm new to the channel. I love it.the best part was the moment you said it's time for Mass.
Welcome aboard, I'm glad you are here! I'm very blessed, I get to attend mass every day, pray with the monks twice a day, and wrangle bees. I wish everyone had such a good life. Looking forward to hearing from you again soon. God's peace John.
Mr. Ed
Merry Christmas and Happy New Years to you too!
Nice vid!!!
Sounds like you are close to making creamed honey. I you are not making it a good something to consider. Always a pleasure to watch
It is sort of creamed honey, but I have no plans on mass producing the stuff, way to many other things still to do. I hope to hear from you on next years adventures, it's always a pleasure. God's peace Timothy.
Mr. Ed
I had Manuka honey gauze dressings on a large post operative scar, that had become infected. Repaired/treated my scar perfectly.
Thanks once again to the Bees.
Awesome video! I learn something new everyday about bees!. Thank you for posting such educational AND fun information.
Happy New Year to you too.
Thank you very much Michael, and I extend the same to you and your loved ones as well. Till next year, God's peace.
Mr. Ed
Well my friend I hope you had a very Merry Christmas and I hope the new year is a happy one and a prosperous one indeed. Excellent demonstration on un-crystallizing that crystallize honey. I've heard people all too often say they boiled their honey or put it in the microwave to un-crystallize it and I just shake my head. I un-crystallize mine in a similar fashion to the way you do yours as well. Thanks for sharing.
And a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you as well! I cringe when I hear folks say they put their honey in the micro wave, but, to each their own. I know my method is a bit over kill, but it works really well for our operation. God's peace brother.
Mr. Ed
Merry Christmas and happy new year from Huntington Beach California, enjoy your information
And a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you as well Dennis! So glad to hear you find the videos informative, thank you so much for taking the time to watch. God's peace brother.
Mr. Ed
I love when honey crystallizes!! I always keep at least one jar in my backroom so it can crystallize!
You are not alone in your thinking, I have no problem at all with crystallized honey. Thanks for watching. God's peace.
Mr. Ed
I have 2 - 25 food grade buckets of crystallized honey from my bee's 2 yrs ago
That honey looks divine. Pity I live across the Pond. Thanks for showing us the process.
Merry Christmas, Happy New Year and God Bless you bud...
Dude, I still see you have that abnormality in your arm, you may want to have that looked at by a professional. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you and your loved ones as well. God's peace brother.
Mr. Ed
Lol
Hopefully the education exhibitions in your new building will include many demonstrations of your ‘observation‘ hive. 😉
You better believe the "observation" hive will be present, and as a matter of fact, 'm thinking about adding another one just for good measure. Stay tuned for all the laughs and fun. God's peace Bunny.
Mr. Ed
Wishing you and everyone at the Abbey a Joyful and Peaceful Christmas and a Happy and Prosperous New Year 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
Thank you Jamie, and a very Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you and your loved ones as well. God's peace.
Mr. Ed
You we're on my feed and I'm glad I watched! I love to try honey from different places, my daughter brought me back honey from Germany, it was light in color and very fluid and delicious.
I was also gifted a jar of unusual tasting Leather Wood honey from Tasmania, Australia. It had a spicey taste, and the 17.5oz cost $20- but it was so good!!😋 🤗💗🍯🐝
Well, I do sell the honey, and if you'd like to buy some of our Abbey Honey, I'd be more than happy to send you some. The cost is $9.00 for a one pound, plastic bottle, and $8.00 for shipping. If you want more than one bottle, the shipping cost is still $8.00 for up to 4 bottles, but each bottle is still $9.00. As soon as I get your check, I will send it out. Make the check out to St. Joseph Abbey but send the letter to:
Mr. Ed
75376 River Rd.
St. Benedict, La. 70457
If you'd like, I'll even sign the bottle. Looking forward to hearing from you. Thanks for watching. God's peace Dora.
Mr. Ed
WOW I'm always amazed at those little but mighty creatures. My honey that I buy from a local farm always has the foam on top as well. To me it taste stronger in flavor. I like it very much. Since I don't use processed sugar in my food I use honey.. It sweetens everything you would normally use granulated sugar for. You have to remember to use hot tea to dissolve the honey before making sweet tea for ice tea, because honey doesn't like cold. It will take an eternity or longer to dissolve. Then all you do is add it to your iced tea.
Thank you for your Merry Christmas wish Jeff and New Year too. I wish you and Mom the same Happy New Year as well. I'll be watching to see what's new in the coming year. Hopefully more of you and Randy. Maybe J.P., Schawee, and Yappy? Surprise us.
For me, bees are just another definitive proof of God, they are simply amazing creatures. It's profound that such a small creature carries the responsible of sustaining our species by the work it does. I'm hoping for many collaborations next year, and all the folks you mentioned are all in favor of exactly that happening. We shall see. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you and your loved ones as well Cheryl. God's peace.
Mr. Ed
@@JeffHorchoff I'm not a believer, but I can see that spirituality is very important to you in ways I'm not sure I'd experience. I really love the videos, I find them interesting and therapeutic. Wishing you the best!
Really informative, thank you, and the best to you and yours in 2020.
So glad you enjoyed the video, thanks for watching! And a blessed and happy new year to you and yours as well! god's peace brother.
Mr. Ed
Mr Ed, can you inform us as to the proper name of you very technical stirring apparatus? lol Have a very Happy and Productive New Year! All my best to you and yours.
The technical name for my stirrer is "stick" Actually, it's a piece of wood that we use on the handles of our caskets. It's already rounded and fits nicely in my hand. Thank you for your well wishes, and Happy New Year to you and your loved ones as well Mike. God's peace brother.
Mr. Ed
Guess we learn something new everyday!! enjoyed this bit of info very much...Thank you for your video's....I love them.
Learning something new every day is a great habit to develop, glad you love the videos and watch so many of them, thank you Mary. God's peace.
Mr. Ed
Excellent as always......it must be Friday......Perfect Timing as we're doing the same thing 😁
Next time you need to de crystalize your honey, take a road trip with it and we can do it here at the abbey. God's peace Mick.
Mr. Ed
Very interesting. Didn't know about the production of hydrogen peroxide. Love the barrel lifter. Hope you had a blessed Christmas, and best wishes for a Happy, Healthy, New Year!
And very Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you and your loved ones as well! Bees, and what they do for us, are just to cool! God's peace brother.
Mr. Ed
Most commercial kitchens have flies buzzing around. You have honey bees. So cool!
There were thousands of bees on the back porch of the honey house feeding on pollen and honey, a few fond their way inside the house. If you noticed, I had to close the lid on the kettle so no bees wound up in the honey. God's peace Dave.
Mr. Ed
@@JeffHorchoff I love all bees...even yellow jackets, they can be as docile as honey bees. But they are regarded as aggressive. You just have to know how to treat them. Most bee keepers will disagree.
I hope you had a wonderful Christmas! We stayed fairly warm down here in central Florida. I think the coldest it’s been so far this winter is 1 day where the high was in the upper 50’s. But we had a warm holiday, much to my disappointment. It just doesn’t seem right to need AC on Christmas! Thank you for sharing how you decrystallize your honey. My hubby, who kept bees as a child, taught me how to decrystallize our bought honey years ago. I remember the first time I saw it hard as a rock. I thought it had “gone bad.” You can imagine the education I then received from my husband about honey, it’s properties, and how it doesn’t “go bad.” I also have learned the miracle of medical honey. I was diagnosed with Lupus at 16 (45 now), and since that age have been on a drug called prednisone. It has saved my life several times but the side effects can be harsh, and one includes thinning of skin. I now have skin that tears very easily. We use medi-honey all the time and it has become another lifesaver. It amazes me how these small creatures are now saving my life, my skin, every day. They are miraculous. I love watching videos that continue to educate me about them! Thank you! 🐝🐝🐝
I'm so glad to hear how the medi-honey is beneficial for you Diane. There seem to be no limits on the benefits humans receive from the simple honey bee, which is one of the reasons I expend such efforts to rescue them. I will add your name to my prayer list, and I am sorry to hear of your condition. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you and your loved ones as well. God's peace.
Mr. Ed
