After about 6 weeks, I finally went back to look into the hive that the bees had made emergency cells on to see if I had a laying queen yet, and was I surprised yet again by what the bees showed me. I hope you enjoy the video. By the way, the video links below are for the 3 other videos I made on this hive showing the journey they took me on. God's peace always. Mr. Ed

I was unsubscribed?? I've been watching you for years. Its because you mention the name of Jesus. TH-cam doesn't like that. Keep up the good work brother!
Glad to have you back, and I'll keep on thanking Jesus. Thanks for watching. God's peace.
Mr. Ed
I was unsubscribed and I’ve been watching for years too 😮
Aww naw! 😳
Y'all be honest... Who else's stomach dropped when things went a foul!?!?
One of the things we respect about... You're honest in showing what happens to us all at some point. You easily could've edited everything to look on point.
God bless Mr. Ed
Mistakes are a big part of keeping bees, and showing mine just proves I'm nothing special as a beekeeper, just someone who does the best they can. Mistakes and all. Thank you for your blessings, kind words, and for taking the time to watch. God's peace brother.
Mr. Ed
I thought you got stung real bad, hun. Praises be to God! Amen!
🇬🇧🕊👑✝️👑🕊🇬🇧
If you're happy, we're happy . Have a great weekend Jeff.
Darn tooting I'm happy, did you see the size of the butt on that girl? God's peace Joey.
Mr. Ed
Thank you Jesus 😊
A really big AMEN to that! Thanks for watching, and I hope you will check out more of my over 600 bee wrangling/ bee rescue adventure videos 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 Francisca.
Oh No, Mr Ed, that was ALMOST a disaster ❤😂❤
Thank goodness everything turned out fine! Thanks for watching. God's peace Amy.
Mr. Ed
I love videos that aren't all about treating for mites.
Since I have never treated for mites since I began keeping bees back in 1978, you can rest assured there will be no videos on that subject on this channel. Of course, I know it is a very touchy subject, but It's just my way of keeping bees...the lazy man's way of doing it. Thanks for watching. God's peace.
Mr. Ed
Me too.
Good morning Mr. Ed, My wife is up watching eirh me this morning. She saw what you did and said Oh Nooooooooo!!! When the comb fell , we started laughing when you replayed slow mo.. My wife sa, "Awesome video, what drama this morning 😅.
We borh agree she is a beauty and she so big she could not get over the ledge! Good video. Have a wonderful day!!!!
Well Dr. Bruce I figured it would be a good thing this morning to have a bit of drama with your cup of coffee....it's a really good comb. Glad to hear you guys watched it together, now you can have something to talk about all day long. Thanks, both of you, for watching. Until the next one, God's peace.
Mr. Ed
I'm 4 months late, but I propose you name this queen Queen Beeatrice. Also those girls taking care of their wounded sisters might be some of the purest content I've seen in awhile. I saw a wounded bee beeing tended to by others. Bees really are too precious for this world.
Which is why they are such a great source for us to look at in order to live a good life. Thanks for watching and your kind words. Until the next one, God's peace.
Mr. Ed
When that comb fell I thought oh I hope the Queen wasn't on that comb. Then you saw her and my next thought was what would World famous Mike Barry do. Great save and glad Jesus was looking out for you and those bees.
Ooooooo, the horror, THE HORROR! 😱😝🤪🤣👍👍🇺🇲
WhoOpsie Mr. ED! 😱😁👍👍🇺🇲
That Queen was HUGE!! Wow! No wonder there was so much brood!
I’ve never seen such a massive queen !!! I have to go remove a colony off bees from an old house that’s about to be torn down …the owners say those bees have been there 5 or 6 years …hopefully we will some great genetics there also….see you soon…..GOD bless you Mr Ed ..
Good luck on the removal, I hope all goes well and you get some great bees. Thank you for your blessings and for watching. God's peace Lynn.
Mr. Ed
Boy Ed you said it, the genetics are of that hive is phenomenal.
That will be a hive next spring that will be like 6 deeps high of honey.
Praise Jesus
You are one lucky sod. If that had been anyone else that queen would have got stood on LOL
All I can say is Thank you Jesus! Thanks for watching. God's peace Gareth.
Mr. Ed
Oooooooooohhh Nooooooooo! When that comb fell out of the frame I peed my pants a little.😮😮😮
That would have been my luck too drop the one with the queen on it lol thanks for sharing
It could have gone that way for me as well, I certainly caught a break with that one, thank you Jesus! God's peace brother.
Mr. Ed
So wonderful to see the new queen!! Its amazing how fast this group of bee's produced a new queen and she was a very busy girl!! God Bless, Thank You Jesus!!
Hello Jeff, Oh my heart fell when that comb fell out of the frame. And when you were trying to grab the queen, I was yelling at the screen saying:
"Put that damn camera down and get her already." I was hoping that colony prospered.
A real heart attack in the making for sure, but this particular experience with these bees is nothing new, it's only been one of the many so far. Anyway, I'm sure they will give me a few more next year, but for those you will have to stay tuned. Thanks for watching. God's peace Jeremy.
Mr. Ed
Jeff I have watched a lot of videos from the famous TH-cam beekeepers. This may be my favorite of all time because of the raw honesty of watching real life mistakes and bad events occurring before our very eyes. And as others have commented , all unedited for the world to see.
Man I really appreciate you for publishing a video that will help sustain me when things in my apiary go afoul, and often because of my own mistakes.
I'm delighted to bee here for you Randall and alway happy to share my experiences, good and bad. Hang tough! Thanks for watching. God's peace brother.
Mr. Ed
Hello hello JEFF. Beautiful year of honey harvest. I farm queens. I’m treating varroa with oaxalic acid from Randy Oliver’s California jobs. Here in France we are invaded by Asian hornets who do a lot of tricks on bee colonies. I still hope to make a lot of honey and take good care of my bees. Bye bye.
It's been a long time since I heard from you, what a pleasure seeing your name pop up in the comments Jack. I hope all is well with you, your family, and your bees as well. God's peace always brother.
Mr. Ed
Mr. Ed
God is good Mr Ed God dose everything for HIS good pleasure Some times even when we think we are not at our best God is doing his good pleasure This world needs to see humility in Gods children my brother God is good his children love his ways God bless you over flowing with his lasting good things Mr Ed
How dose a daddy see there child
Beautiful words to describe our merciful God. God's peace Amber.
Mr. Ed
With eyes of love. God's peace.
Mr. Ed
Hi Mr. Ed., busy busy as a Bee 🐝 11-13-2023❤
When you dropped that frame I thought if that was my hive I cam guarantee the queen would have been on it. 😂 This hive is the heart attack hive. 1st queen dies, 2nd one gets killed, 3rd once barely escapes death. Definitely can relate. Haha
I can hardly wait to see what surprises these bees have in store for me next year. Rest assured, there will be more follow up videos from these girls. Thanks for watching. God's peace.
Mr. Ed
High drama this week! Great job, Mr. Ed!
That queen is hugh! She had trouble getting over that ledge. How beautiful this video is and the sound of the Church bells so pleasingly happy 😊
Funny name for a queen bee 🤔
I've had to clean wax like that several times but somehow it's much more satisfying watching someone else do it!
thank god
Thank you ! I didn't think of using the rubber bands in that direction yet.
It's a very good way to do it, and I use a 7 inch rubber band that I buy from Amazon. God's peace.
Mr. Ed
I just love watching you work with your bees…
Nice experience. Always amazes me how you spot the queen…👍
If you drop a Frames "Contents" like that. DO SEE if you Dropped the Queen too !? Inspect the Ground Carefully, do not move or Walk or you could stand on her Maj right there ! 😖
Ensuring any oops moments are assessed quickly, especially at the end of Drone Season. Means you might 'keep' that Colony for another Autumn, Winter and Spring !!!
Just saying. . . 🙄
And then Mr. Ed showed "Her" outside on the Floor YIKES !
That was a close one for sure.
Glad it all worked out well in the end. 😎
🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝
Happy Beekeeping 2024
🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝
You and me both, it could have been VERY bad. Thanks for watching. God's peace.
Mr. Ed
Glad you saw the queen. When you dropped that frame my heart dropped. Not as much as yours I’m sure.
From the beginning, these bees have put me on a roller coaster ride, and the adventure continues still. I'm sure when spring comes and I split these girls there will be more heart attacks to come. Thanks for watching. God's peace.
Mr. Ed
That was a close call. This is why you and I both don't like going into our hives too much.
How beautiful are these ladies, like women they are lovely and gentle while confidently busy, a bored woman is a stingy woman😂😂
BizzyBuzzyzz🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝👸
We had been checking hives and got to the last one in a row of 3 and my husband was about to brush a couple bees off his arm at the top of his glove and looking down at it we realized it was a Queen! We put her at the entrance of that last hive and crossed our fingers. She walked right in. We waited and there was no big commotion so must have been the right hive.
You guys sure dodged the bullet on that one, great story. 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
I was so deep in your film to see the new larva… just found & 💣💥 Then OMG the panel drop… I thought if the queens was on that panel & fall on the grass.. but after you repeated the fall I started laughing.. Thanks God he made you an instrument to help our savior & to others… God’s creations….
Ps: If you ever get queens cells..🙏🏼 I want to be on that list.. even If I have to donate a week of work next spring time…. to get one.. Farewell to all & God blessed you
Yes, I agree, keep talking about Jesus.
I have fallen in love with the horizontal hive. In a recent video, I saw you using one. How do you like it? Can you make a video on it and tell us your opinion, the pros and cons.
Thanks, Don
A big AMEN Jesus for sure! I too am a big fan of the horizontal hive, and I also think it is a very good option for older beekeepers like myself who don't like bending down of lifting heavy supers. I will be making a video very soon on my horizontal hive, the Layen's hive, and the bees that are in it. Stay tuned. Thanks for watching, and I hope you will check out more of my over 600 bee wrangling/ bee rescue adventure videos 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 Don.
Mr. Ed
WOW dropping that comb was lucky for her but when it rains it pours. That block of wax weight is heavier than you . What a great looking colony. Thanks
I’ve made that mistake more than once! Thanks Don Bearden!! Lol!!!! Mr. Ed!
Mike's, that's World Famous Mike Barry, video was hilarious, and I heard you thought so as well. God's peace Don.
Mr. Ed
@@JeffHorchoff It was awesome!!!! God bless!
I would of killed for a block of wax like that.coukd of made beautiful honey smelling candles😊
It takes me a lot of work to render the beeswax, but each time a huge chunk of wax like that comes out of a tub, I know it was worth the effort. If you go to my channel and into the play list, I have probably a dozen videos on beeswax rendering, I hope you will check some of those out or one of the other 550 other videos I have posted. And remember, each Friday I post a new one. Thanks for watching. God's peace Sandra.
Mr. Ed
Good save, Mr. Ed.
Ooooo wish u had shown the rendering lol I love watching it clear up.
Great example of how they move away from the smoke!!
I'll have another rendering video very soon, Brother Austin has asked me for some more wax for the hand lotion bars. Thanks for watching. God's peace.
Mr. Ed
Mr. Ed ,imblown away at what you do ,I've had a hive since 2016 , man if I can donate time I would like too with what you do
God bless you and thanks for showing us that beautiful wax. When it is so dark I can see why the brothers use that for their soap. Soap can be honey colored. But for candles for the church they have to be lighter than tan. Ecru maybe. You really work so hard for God and the Abbey.
❤ wow! Hope this spring will be good one.That happen last year when I place brood box on the floor,the queen drop out. Lucky the next I was walking about and notice bees rears up fanning.and look closely around the ground like normal I do as I have plants around and notice the queen on the grass😮.
I'm hoping for a great spring as well, as it appears we are on track for a very good one. We both caught a break finding the queen. It always puts my mind to ease when I know the queen is OK. 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 Alex.
Mr. Ed
I love your videos. It makes me feel better that pros run into the same issue (comb falling out in the best of hands). Thank you for sharing.
Delighted to hear you enjoy watching the videos, and I hope you will check out more of them. We all make mistakes working our bees, thankfully, the bees work hard enough to correct most of them. Thanks for watching, and remember, I post a new video every Friday morning, and I look forward to hearing from you again soon. God's peace Jean.
Mr Ed
Good work Mr. Ed! This queen is a momma! Way to nab her back into the hive!
That was the bigger mess I’ve ever seen you get in to 😂😂😂
Thank You Jesus ! Enjoy the dedication. Is it being videoed? I would love to watch.
Sorry Cheryl, it was not videoed. God's peace.
Mr. Ed
My heart sunk when that frame dropped. But the bees are amazing. Thank you sharing the updates.
❤ 🐝
Delighted to hear you enjoyed the video, thank you so much for taking the time to watch it. 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 Sandra.
Mr. Ed
I was about to saw hopefully the queen wasn't on that frame that fell then you found her glad she's ok. Made it past the fall and the foot steps
It could have gone very bad, but fortunately it all worked out. Thanks for watching. God's peace Scott.
Mr. Ed
One tough queen doing a somersault with 1/2 twist and getting up dusting herself off and going back to work. Thanks for sharing and caring.
She scored a 9.5 on the difficulty of the maneuver. Thanks for watching. God's peace.
Mr. Ed
Thank you Jeff!!!! xoxoxox
That wax is beautiful 😍
I agree 100%, and if you'd like to see more wax rendering videos, and I have a bunch of them, go to my channel and look at the playlist about "rendering wax." 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 Lorie.
Mr. Ed
Thanks Mr. Ed for a great follow up to the previous 3 parts of this hive saga. Q: What did you mean when you commented on the "pattern" that the queen was laying? Is there an actual pattern to her laying or did you mean that she was just laying a lot of eggs. Your work with the bees is a blessing to nature!
The "pattern" refers to the nearness of capped larva that you can see on the frame. When the brood is side by side, with few holes between the cells, it is a good pattern. And yes, it also refers to how many eggs she is laying as well. Thanks for watching. God's peace.
Mr. Ed
Excellent camera work combined with regular beekeeping incidents, which happens to us all. Totally appreciate that Mr. Ed keeps it real!
One of the patrilines in the colony may have dominated the selection of the new queen by drawing cells from eggs or young larvae that they alone wanted and possibly even destroying rival attempts in the lower box - a super-sister conspiracy to get the queen they want to run the colony. Either way, the colony came up queen-right with a great queen- congratulations.
I have to agree with your queen picking theory, it makes a lot of sense. Thanks for watching. God's peace William.
Mr. Ed
Loved the bells at the end. Love what you do and thanks for sharing. God bless.♥️👍🏼🙏
That drop showes us all how easy it is to misjudge the viability of a wax frame. Not that all wax is bad. But that how connected it is.
And I was aware of the condition, and I still messed up. Thanks for watching. God's peace.
Mr. Ed
I think we all need to leave our mistakes in videos so new beekeepers will see we are just men like they are. Bee good, Bee have, and Beehive. God bless you and your Bees.
Jeff, why is that beeswax so dark?
I'm screaming at you to remove that leaf.. 😂
What a Thank You Jesus moment!🥰
Some of the comb was from their hive some was supplied by me. I can't say why their comb was so dark because the hive was only 5 or 6 months old when I removed it. Thanks for watching. God's peace David.
Mr. Ed
Jeff I was referring to the big block of beeswax in the beginning of the video being dark. I would have thought the monks would want nice bright yellow beeswax for lip balm etc. Our local bee club had a speaker this week talking about rendering show quality beeswax so bright yellow beeswax is still on my mind. I'm going to be converting my hot box to a wax melter by increasing the temp from 104° to 165°. 👍
@@davidlewis4179It was a VERY old block of wax when I started, full of dirt and debris. I got the block about 13 years ago and it was nasty to begin with, someone did a terrible jog of rendering the wax. Anyway, this was the 5 time or rendering it and it was cleaning up very nicely, but it still was darker than usual. I think the wax had been burned but I can't say for sure. God's peace David.
Mr. Ed
Well done . Informative 👍👍👍. Thank you for sharing. Be safe 🇨🇦
Man, that was tense!
Nothing like a bit of drama for your Friday morning. Thanks for watching. God's peace Barbara.
Mr. Ed
Hi Mr. Ed; It's nice to see how a rescued hive progresses. What size rubberband is that? Does that size work on medium and deepframes the same? Thank you for all you do. Blessings, Bernie.
I use a 7 inch rubber band for the deep frames. I suppose it would work for a medium as well, but it may not be as tightly stretched. Thank you for your blessings and for watching. God's peace Bernie.
Mr. Ed
Great video, calm bee's even after you dropped some, mine would have been chasing me away, kinda moody. Lol
Love you seen the queen and she's beautiful,
Wow! I’m glad she made it back in with your help. I kept saying grab her! Its a strong colony that one. Perfect ending with the church bells. God Bless. ❤
I can hardly wait for the spring to split these girls, a real winner this one. Thank you for your blessings and for watching. Until the next one, God's peace LoriAnne.
Mr. Ed
Oh Mr Ed what a wonderful man you are, you care for the bee's so much. You truly are heaven sent. God bless you.
I'd bet on the replacement queen being from an egg, because in general, the younger they start rearing it as a queen, the better the result - and you couldn't have done any better than that, at least in your climate.
I would have to agree with that guess as well. My reason for thinking that is it is rare for uncapped brood to live after a removal, but an egg can last longer and given the length of time it took between the removal and the setting up of the hive, the egg was still viable. Thanks for watching. God's peace.
Mr. Ed
Great video
Thank you so much Larry, God's peace brother.
Mr. Ed
She heard the scuttlebutt about the previous queens.
I'd bee afraid as well! God's peace brother.
Mr. Ed
I hadn't committed for awhile, just my luck to watch today....it was exciting...love u MR Ed😅😊
Glad to see you dropped a comment, thank you for that and for taking the time to watch my bee wrangling adventures. Until the next one, God's peace William.
Mr. Ed
She sure is a beauty, and I'm glad you found her to get her back in the box too.
With everything in the hive back on track, even after another crazy ride, it's time to watch these bees prosper. Thanks for watching. God's peace Suzanne.
Mr. ed
I would have put some smaller bands vertically around that comb/frame, just to make sure.
I still may do that the next time I go in. I just don't want the comb to be touching comb from another frame. Thanks for watching. God's peace.
Mr. Ed
Sometimes it is best to just let nature take its course and in this case your bees did do just that so Mr Ed maybe Jesus was looking over your shoulder to see what happened this time around 😊
ThNk you far another great video
It was nice talking to you Saturday for Omaha’s Bee Club’s convention. My removal was a smashing success, I found the queen because she was crawling on my veil.
As a former mailman, I do remember you. Glad to know your removal went well, and what a way to catch the queen, thank you Jesus! God's peace brother.
Mr. Ed
Wow! She was ginormous. That was a high drama at the end. Glad you got her back inside.
Congratulations!
God Bless Mr. Ed
Thank you Susie for your blessings and for watching, it is greatly appreciated. God's peace.
Mr. Ed
Amazing 👍🙏
Calm, but murderous!
Please explain. Thanks for watching. God's peace.
Mr. Ed
@@JeffHorchoff you keep talking about how calm they are, but they’ve killed two queens!
Oh man when that comb fell out .... amazing that you spotted her.
Very interesting video,Thanks for posting !!!
This was another great video, thanks for taking your time to show it to us, God bless everyone
Great video! God bless you!
Wow Jeff that was exciting! Glad that the bees are doing such a good job building their hive up. Blessings to you all~
Your welcome son
Sorry had to say it, I am Quaker anyways.
The Father says He'll bless his younguns. There you go! Happy Jesus weekend to you and Mona!
So happy to see it work out for you and the bees, that hive needed a little good luck going in its direction. I taught the rooster might have showed up and found that queen for you. lol GOD BLESS Mr. ED.
Good catch. Glad she got back in. That was a big queen. Very gentle bees for sure and she was laying it up. Thanks for the video. Gob bless brother. Take care.
Hey Ed from Southeast Ga. As always you never cease to amaze me. Our girls are doing great. And they are actually behaving themselves. Thank you for the great video. She sure is a pretty Queen. And so big!! GOD’s Blessings to you and your loved ones. Thanks for the church bells. They sound so welcoming.
Beautiful video especially the bells calling you to pray.
She’s a BEEst!!! 🤣
It's always something when working a hive. Running to get rubber bands 😂
Great video!
Great content !
Jeff! I’ve been in the hospital since August 11. It is only today that I’ve been able to watch TH-cam. I hope that this video marks the turn in my health and I get to go home soon. So happy for you and your bees!
Diane, so sorry to hear your sad news. Know that I have added your name to my prayer list and will pray for you daily. May God bless you with a full and speedily recovery. Please keep my posted on your progress. God's peace.
Mr. Ed
Another good vid I enjoyed, you consistently put out interesting content. Thank you for sharing. Hope you and Mona have a pleasant weekend.
That drop was tragic.
Tragic yes, but thankfully all was well. Thanks for watching. God's peace.
Mr. Ed
Hello Mr Ed, muito boa noite, que manejo top em,enchame. Muito forte em,parabéns pelo vídeo que DEUS abençoe seu trabalho. 🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝
Well??🤷🏻♂️ I got to say when an expert has a small boo boo it makes this old fumbling man feel better at my self ❤❤ But it is Gods wonder at work with helping the girls to survive an make a new queen… Gentle you say?? I would call that hive house pets!!!! 😱 even after the comb fell out they were not aggressive. I would love to have 1000 hives like that. !!! lol my Michigan girls have “” Sas!!” They get down right sassy when I invade their home and they are sure to make it a point!!! To let me know by depositing a love bite ouch’s
Another amazing video!!! Thank you!!! Just what I needed today.
I've been in the hospital this week. I wanted to tell you that this afternoon a hospital volunteer stopped by my room. She was perfectly lovely. During our visit your mom came to my mind. She sang a beautiful prayer for me. It was just perfect.
Thank you continuing to share your videos. Still love every one of them!
So sorry to hear you are in the hospital, but I'm happy my video, and my mom's song, were able to lift your spirits for a while. Get well soon, God's peace Stephine.
Mr. Ed
I’m in the hospital also…..been here since August 11th. I had someone speak to me about the beauty of the Lord, and now to hear the bells. God blessings on you!
