The title of this video says it all, so, be prepared for the worst, and mildly surprised if it does not turn out that way for you. I will say this though, there are some good things in the video to make up for the not so good things.
One of the good things in the video is that Good Time Charlie was there shooting the video and commenting throughout, and the 628 Dirt Rooster is talked about as well. In fact, he even sent me some video that I inserted at the end of the video.
I'm warning you right now, it may not be advisable to eat as you are watching the video, you may find that you lose your appetite. OK, enough talk, I hope you enjoy the video in spite of the gross things in it. God's peace. Mr. Ed

Hey Jeff, your video was cut 4 times by commercials. It's very unusual and not pleasant at all. This apart, thank you for sharing this honey rescue and for your smile.
Try installing the Ublock Origin extension. Its an ad-blocker. I don't get any ads when watching TH-cam.
Get TH-cam premium, $11.99 a month. That comes to about 40 cents per day. I haven't see a commercial in years.
Guys gotta get something for his effort.
@@Matt-dc8lp yep, however I am a long time subscriber and I can remember a time not so long ago where there were no commercials. I think that 4 commercials in 1 video is not a good thing and definitely not a good trend.
I do allow ads to run on my videos, but I ask TH-cam to run them ONLY before the video plays. Your report is the first I have heard of having them in places other than that. I will say this about the ads however, I am grateful for them, the revenues generated by them are the ONLY compensation, other than fan appreciation, I get for the hundreds of hours I spend videoing, editing, and responding to comments. Also, it is from the revenues generated by my TH-cam channel that principally support our Abbee Honey Program here at St. Joseph Abbey. So, by watching the channels advertisements, you are in truth helping to support our operation. Thanks for watching. God's peace.
Mr. Ed
"Look, a hive beetle! *squish*
Not anymore...."
🤣🤣🤣
They just got to die, that's all there is to it. Thanks for watching. God's peace.
Mr. Ed
Good work. That was like the remains of a once great civilization that had suffered a cataclysmic tragedy.
The rise and fall of bees mimics closely that of humans and their history. Glad you liked the video, thanks for watching. God's peace Adam.
Mr. Ed
Jeff Horchoff Bees Hello Jeff I just started watching your videos. I love them keep it up. Was wonder if I wanted to buy some honey from you how should I go about doing that?
Is no one gonna talk about the copy of Forest Gump in the middle of all those dead bees 😂
I did not even see it, all I saw was dead bees. You have quite the eye. Thanks for watching.......real close. God's peace Chris.
Mr. Ed
Jeff with the beetle larvae and other contaminants you cannot use the honey. But can the wax be used? You are so good to do this. That room should be all thrown in the dump. God bless you and Charlie.
Sure, the wax could be salvaged, but the amount of effort necessary to render that wax would be far greater then the actual amount of wax saved after the processing. And because I have so many other irons in the fire, for me, I would not do it. Charlie and I both thank you for your blessings. God's peace J.
Mr. Ed
I would have liked to see this hive in it's full glory. Imagine how long the cut out then would have taken and how many bees there would have been. Thanks for showing us even the sad stuff mr. Ed. At least you keep it real. My best wishes for your health and all of those who you hold dear.
I had the very same thought as I was removing the comb, at it's prime, this was one magnificent colony. Thank you so much for your kind words and well wishes as well as taking the time to watch so many of my videos. God's peace.
Mr. Ed
NOTE TO ALL COMMENTERS: You only have to listen to 30 seconds of each ad for the owner of the channel to get credit from YT. The remuneration is small but does help to offset the cost of making the video. And the amount generated depends on how many people watch the video so remember to "like" or give the "thumbs up". Also, subscribe. That helps too.
Good morning Brother Jeff. I seen a hive like that and it was from someone spraying poison on them. Great video. We are Praying for You,Dirt Rooster,JP and All hit by the hurricane. God Bless
Hives that are poisoned do look like this one, however, I know for certain this hive was not poisoned. I knew the homeowners, and I asked whether they had used something to kill the bees and they said NEVER. The reason there were so many dead bees was that area had not been cleaned for over 2 months, and in that time period, that many bees had "gotten lost," could not return to the hive, went to the window, and there died. Thank you for your concern and your blessing, we are all fine. Until the next one, God's peace Eli.
Mr. Ed
They were poisoned, the homeowners didn't want to fess up that they tried poisoning them first unbeknownst to them that robber bees would come in....
How is he so calm omg... What a saint. Also his smile is gold. :D
I have been a bee keeper for over 35 years which explains my attitude towards the bees. I find it very relaxing to be in their presence and observing them. Of course, that does not make me a saint, but rather someone who has a deep appreciation for the wonder of bees, and that's what brings out the smile you see on my face.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 Emily.
Mr. Ed
Can always count on your cheer. Thanks for that. We need it these days!🙂🐝
It makes my day to provide a bit of joy for those who watch my adventures, and I'm very happy to do it. Thank you so much for watching and your kind words. Until the next one, God's peace.
Mr. Ed
The Dirt Rooster must be singing! Good weekend to you Mr Ed!
He does not sing, he only crows. I'm wearing a sweat shirt today, our temps were in the upper 60's, but if that's the case, you guys must be in the 40's. Enjoy your weekend also, and stay warm. God's peace MFH.
Mr. Ed
Wow what a shame. That many dead bees in a pile under where the hole in the ceiling was seems strange to me. Looked like something killed them all at once. But what do I know. I know nothing about bees other than I like their honey.
Good job Mr. Ed. Great videos.
Love Abita Springs. Such a nice little town.
The camera only showed the big pile of bees, the truth is the pile had built up over a period of 2 months. Bees would enter the room and die by the window. Because I know the homeowners, and they told me the bees were never poisoned, I did ask, I'm certain the bees had not been poisoned. I've been living in Abita since '84, and you are right, great little town. Thanks for watching. God's peace.
Mr. Ed
Mr Ed, I had noticed you shirt as soon as I saw your back during the cutout. I was going to ask if you were wearing your dress up clothes for such a nasty job or was you dressing up early for Halloween? We know that it’s all in fun! Thanks for the video and if you keep making them we’ll keep watching them!
Actually, I wore his shirt this time because knew this was a nasty removal and I did not want to ruin one of my own. So glad to have you following along Don, thank you for that. God's peace brother.
Mr. Ed
#LOVE your Channel and Videos so much, coming from a multi generational bee keeping family I really love seeing bees being rescued!!! I have to say i have never seen comb/honey in such poor shape. Even though it breaks my heart to see the colony collapse like this I am with you in letting nature take its course. Looking forward to seeing your next #ADVENTURE!!!
It is very hard for many people to understand the principals of nature as the concept of finality is so disturbing to so many. Once the understanding of temporariness is accepted, difficult matters such as death, whether it be with bees, pets, or humans, become easier to accept as well. It is for this reason I am a strong supporter of non treatment for our bees, let nature run her course and let the chips fall where they may, I'm OK with it. Thanks for taking the time to leave your comment and for watching the video. God's peace Wayne.
Mr. Ed
if the hive was dead, does it mean those flying bees around the hive are robber bee??
That is exactly what those bees were, robber bees. Thanks for watching. God's peace.
Mr. Ed
you missed the chance to title it "This is going to *bee* really gross"
You are absolutely correct, I can't bee lieve I missed the opportunity. Thanks for watching. God's peace.
Mr. Ed
Hi Jeff, wow what a great big mess of cone and honey man I’m glad we don’t have those hive beetles over here in the UK , they can sure kill a viable colony of, I have removed something very similar when I was doing a cutout one time, the hive had been sprayed with bleach and insect repellent all the bees were dead and the cone was just a pile of sloppy glupe , it broke my heart to see a nice big colony destroyed like this and have always told folks never ever spray a honey bee nest your just asking for a whole lot of mess and more trouble when the ants and moths and other critters get in there, glad it’s only happened to me once. Thanks Jeff for sharing your vlog with us and god bless my friend.
All bee wranglers know the absolute frustration of discovering the hive they are removing has been sprayed with chemicals to kill them. Once, when I was called out to remove bees, after arriving and being told they had sprayed the bees a few days prior, I did not say a word to them but got back in my truck and left. I'm sorry to learn even you are familiar with that experience. Thanks so much for your blessings and for watching. Until the next time, God's peace Peter.
Mr. Ed
Watching your videos is educational, entertaining and relaxing to me, thanks so much for making these!
It is a real joy and pleasure to share all my bee wrangling adventures, and I thank you very much for taking your time to watch them. Until the next time, God's peace.
Mr. Ed
Nicely done 👍👍👍Thanks for sharing
A very nasty job, so happy to hear you managed to watch the entire video. Thanks for your kind words and for watching. God's peace.
Mr. Ed
Look! A hive beetle... not anymore! LOL!
Hive beetles have just got to die, that's all there is to it. God's peace Jeff.
Mr. Ed
Smart teeshirt you were modelling Mr. Ed. Good to see you and Charlie working together, with DirtRooster as guest star. Enjoy your taco dinners. I'm glad you saved some honey and those bees didn't work entirely in vain. God bless, thank you for uploading and see you soon.
I will admit, the T shirt did make me look like I knew what I was doing, and I thought it was pretty funny throwing in a bit of the Dirt Rooster at the end of the video. Thank you so much for your blessing and for watching. Until the next one, God's peace Elaine.
Mr. Ed
I start smiling from the start of your video! You're SO positive.
Love watching your videos Mr. Ed! Always educational! I always learn something new about bees in every video!
That is so cool to hear, thank you for your kind words and for taking all that time to watch. Until the next one, God's peace Thomas.
Mr. Ed
I love that you’re wearing a 620 dirt roosters shirt!
He does have a really cool design to them. Thanks for watching. God's peace Desiree.
Mr. Ed
First second of the video and you give so much happiness to the people. Thank you.
That is really kind of you to say that, thank you very much, and thank you for taking the time to watch. God's peace.
Mr. Ed
I love your personality and the work you do is wonderful. Bless you Brother.
WOW! Thank you for your blessings and your very kind words, they are greatly appreciated. As is your watching my bee wrangling adventures as well. God's peace Ira.
Mr. Ed
Jeff, owners always think that 4 cans of bee killer will take care of their problems. It's sad because as a bee keeper you KNOW that there is a heck of a lot more problem than just bees flying around. Comb without cleaning up will rot and drip every time. Dead bees in the wall will rot and stink.
*SIGH*
Watching Mr. Ed pull out tons of nasty comb out of the ceiling has the exact same niche appeal as watching zit popping videos. Gross, but you cant stop watching.
I thought the exact same thing, it's so gross you can't help but watch to see the nasty stuff that comes out. Thanks for watching with intrigue. God's peace.
Mr. Ed
Great video Mr Ed congratulations on your 100 thousand subscribers and your mum is so beautiful and thank you for Sharing that moment with all of youtube god bless you and your mum. All the way from Dublin IRELAND.
Thank you so much for your kind words and support of my efforts to rescue bees Patrick, it is all greatly appreciated. I will say this about mom, every time she is on one of my videos, she steals the show. What a great woman she is. Thank you for your blessings and for taking the time to watch my videos. God's peace brother.
Mr. Ed
It's really to bad the home owner didn't find the hive before it reached that stage. Mr. Ed you do provide a valuable service for the community. Although this is not the normal removals that l like watching there's a good and bad for most things in this 🙌 life! Thanks 👍 I'll keep watching.
I would have loved to have removed the bees along with the comb, it just was not meant to bee. Thank you so much for your kind words and the support you give by following along with my bee wrangling adventures. Until the next one, God's peace Gman.
Mr. Ed
Rooster is getting free advertising...love the shirt.
I also love the friendship you guys have.
The video was awesome, sure wish we could had seen that hive when it was strong.
Ah, I also live in southern Louisiana, around Lafayette parish area! So nice to see someone like you doing good things in our state. God bless you!
I'm always open when folks want to visit the abbey and check out our bee yards and honey house, as well as just visiting the abbey and all there is to see there also. Since you are so close, less than 2 hours away, if that should be on your "to do" list, get in touch before hand and it can happen. Thank you for your blessings, kind words, and for taking the time to watch my bee wrangling adventures. God's peace Lauren.
Mr. Ed
"Something happened to the hive, robbing started..." And I can finish, "Hive beetles and moths and Palmetto bugs moved in for the bounty." The not-so-glamorous side of removals and beekeeping. Our bee club had a poorly designed horizontal hive go from gangbusters to honey soup in about a week because of beetles. Our manager did not want photos. It's shocking when this happens to one of your hives, but I feel nothing eductionational comes from denying this process happens to some bees that try to live in a ceiling or cannot cope with badly designed hives. A lot of factors went into the club's long hive collapse, including restrictions due to COVID, which left too much honey in the box. But my enthusiasm for long hives took a dive seeing that one fail. Bees seem to like joist space but it is good you show not every hive removal is a thriving hive in a ceiling. 💞 Thank you.
btw. I remember you built a long box hive. Did it work out? Can you do an update? Every year the SC state clubs call back Dr. Leo and your box was thickly insulated like his design.
There is a dark side to keeping bees that is very often omitted when talking about just how cool bees are.....especially to new beekeepers, hives die at an alarming rate. Presently, the national average is between 30 and 40 percent dead outs in a bee yard. Because new beekeepers spend so much money on buying equipment and bees only to find their bees die, they become quickly disenchanted and lose heart when their hive dies. I believe if this fact were publicized more often and the awareness of this issue became better known, new beekeepers would be better able to handle the loss without so much of feeling responsible that their lack of knowledge was the reason for the failure. As far as my long hive goes, after 3 years of continual success, it finally succumbed this summer. Not to worry, it will be back in operation come Spring time. Thanks for watching and leaving your comment. God's peace Cynthia.
Mr. Ed
Boy, that sure was a messy sticky mess up in there! Sad to see that such a big colony failed. Great job as always cleaning it up!
This is about as messy a removal as you can get, and the biggest disappointment was I did not go home with any bees. At least I did get some honey for my efforts, over 2 gallons after it was crushed. No doubt about it, this is the dark side of bee wrangling. Thanks for watching.God's peace.
Mr. Ed
I can't stand to be dirty or sticky or be near maggots of any sort so that was a nightmare!
Trust me, this was no joy ride for me doing this removal. I'm exactly like you, I hate being dirty or sticky, I'm no fan of the maggots, but I can get over that. God's peace.
Mr. Ed
That was really awesome to watch, although I'm glad it wasn't me cleaning up all that mess. Love the way you work, so methodical and careful. Good job!!
I would not have wished this job on anyone, it was really nasty. I was glad to have gotten all that honey that was at the rear of the hive, but I would have preferred to have gotten the bees that once occupied this hive. Thank you for your kind words and for watching. Until the next time, God's peace.
Mr. Ed
Great video. So sad to see that huge hive had failed. Those bees worked so hard to make the hive and FILL it with an abundance of honey. Glad there was some comb that was salvageable.
Love your T-shirt, lol. Take care, stay safe, God bless.
At one time this was a magnificent bee hive. What a shame to see it reduced to a pile of trash. At least I was able to recover some honey form it, but I would have much preferred having the bees themselves. Thank you for your blessing and for watching. God's peace Rose Mary.
Mr. Ed
Frist, I am really glad that you're in a good health. In the news of yesterday and before there was the information about that storm! Now I can watch in a calm way and feeling.
Yes, all is well here in Louisiana, the storm completely missed us. Enjoy the video and have a great weekend. God's peace Beate.
Mr. Ed
Just love watching your videos sir. Lord bless Mr.Ed!!!!
Thank you so much for your blessings and for watching. Until the next time. God's peace brother.
Mr. Ed
That was a big dead pile of 🐝 bees, you did a good job removing the hive, 😊👍💕💕💕
It was a very large pile of bees, but what I did not mention was that the number of bees that died happened over the period of 2 months, and in that time period, that many bees had "gotten lost," could not return to the hive, went to the window, and there died. Thank you so much for your kind words and for taking the time to watch the video. Until the next time, God's peace Vivian,
Mr. Ed
That was probably the most disturbing first 14 minutes of any video I've ever watched from Mr. Ed. So glad the ending was great ... keep up the great videos
If you think this was the most disturbing video I've made, you must not have watched any of the 628 Dirt Rooster and Mr. Ed team up videos that we have made over the years, THOSE are disturbing......but a lot of fun! Happy to hear you managed to get through the nasty stuff to see the good stuff at the end. After all, every story should have a happy ending. Until the next time, God's peace Shari.
Mr. Ed
You’re amazing, Mr. Ed! The lengths to which you’ll go to save bees...and though it didn’t work out this time...you didn’t get back in your van and go home. You stayed and made the best of a bad lot.
Just hearing your happy voice cheers me up! Are there any things you encounter on these jobs that really annoy you?
Thank you very much for your kind words Barbara, I attribute my attitude towards work and life all to my mom and dad's upbringing, and by the grace of God. The one thing that really annoys me on removals is when the Dirt Rooster calls wanting to know what I'm doing. He has a sixth sense about catching me while doing removals. Thanks for watching. God's peace.
Mr. Ed
How does such a hive smell? If it has had some infestation i would guess that it would have smelled gross.
The smell is of fermenting honey, not pleasant, but not awful either. Thanks for watching. God's peace.
Mr. Ed
Wow, that was some mess-it's kind of amazing how much work bees must put in to keeping comb happy/healthy, all given. It's too bad the hive couldn't have been saved earlier, though; that would have been amazing to see when it was at full strength!
I have to agree, the really bad part about this removal is that no bees were taken back to the abbey. What a shame to see only the remains of a once magnificent bee hive. Thanks for watching. God's peace Kelly.
Mr. Ed
Mr Ed !!
I received the honey and all.. the taste is incredible ! Also thank you for the note you enclosed as well.
God bless you and here’s to some more wrangling
BEE safe out there
Alexander
Great to hear you got and like the honey, it is a great batch this year. Thank you for your blessing and concern. Till the next one, God's peace Alexander.
Mr. Ed
Jeff Horchoff Bees
I plan on getting another 2 in the near future 😎😎
This job makes me think of cleaning up after the elephants at the circus. I hope you were able to salvage those mardi gras beads. They'll go nicely with your gloves. I hope you sprayed some Zout on that shirt when you were done.
I doubt the zout would get the Dirtrooster logo off...unless he scrubbed it..🤭🤭😄
😂😂😂😂
😆😆😆
@@leannkennedy6568 LOL
Toooo funny
I am so happy you were able to salvage at least PART of the hive! Good gracious that was gorgeous capped comb ♥️
Even though the bees were gone, I did manage to get a good deal of honey as well as a lot of wax. It still was a great day. God's peace.
Mr. Ed
That was really interesting!! It was pretty cringey there at the beginning. When you have such a terrible hive does it stink? Having the comb at the end full of gorgeous honey was an unexpected and pleasant surprise. Nice to see Good Time Charley. Thank you for making awesome videos.
The first part of this removal was very nasty, and a job I would not wish on anyone. The smell is not to bad, it just smells like fermenting honey. Still, it's nothing like the smell of a healthy hive. I really was surprised to find all that good honey at the rear of this hive, that was totally unexpected but greatly welcomed. Mom looks forward to receiving your notes, I do hope it is not burdensome for you to continue with that practice. It does not have to be a hand made card, she just looks forward to hearing from you. Thank you for doing that for her, and for taking the time to watch my videos. God's peace to you and your loved ones Stephonie.
Mr. Ed
Sorry 😐 that was a hive that was dead, however some honey 🍯 was saved, Gd blessing to you Geoff and your team.
I was very sorry that the bees had perished on this hive, I would have loved to have them. Thank you for your blessing and for watching. Until the next one, God's peace Narelle.
Mr. Ed
Wow. Gross was a good word for the beginning. At least you got some good comb anyway. Great vid, as usual, Mr. Ed. :)
Gross it was, but I did manage to get over 2 gallons of honey at the end, thank you Jesus! Glad you enjoyed the video, thanks for watching. Until the next time, God's peace Vicki.
Mr. Ed
If you’re not wearing that hive by the time you’ve finished, I’ll be amazed Jeff!!!
I had lots of it on me, but I was able to dodge the majority of it. Thanks for watching. God's peace Lea.
Mr. Ed
Enjoy those Taco's! Hope the honey tasted good and that the comb yields some good wax. Sad for the hive that was robbed, looks like they put up a big fight. Thanks for making the video.
Taco's should bee in a food group all of their own, I love those things. I was VERY surprised to find all that honey untouched by the maggots. I wound up getting over two gallons and it is some kind of sweet. I'll be processing the wax from these bees very soon, and yes, I will be making a video on it. The battle must have been epic. Thanks for watching God's peace Veron.
Mr. Ed
That was once a huge hive.
Yes indeed, to bad I did not get the bees as well. Thanks for watching. God's peace Raj.
Mr. Ed
You're a courageous man, Mr. Ed. Good to see you happy and healthy. Glad Hurricane Sally didn't pay you a visit. Stay safe, Dovie
I don't think courageous is not the correct word for what I do, insane may be a better word. Thank you for your kind words and concern. Until the next time, God's peace Dovie.
Mr. Ed
@@JeffHorchoff Awww...it looks like a lot of fun!
It didn’t gross me out...I was a nursing home nurse for 30 years 🤣
An ad for Locktite spray foam😆 Dirt Rooster could’ve caught all the falling comb in one hand😂 awesome video 👍💕😊
With the job you had, you saw and endured what the majority of people don't and can't even think of, God bless you fo that! Those watermelon hands of the Dirt Rooster are like a 1 yard bucket on the front of a tractor. God's peace.
Mr. Ed
I can't tear away from your videos. I have questions: 1) why couldn't you have save all that nasty stuff just for its wax? 2. Are most of the bees you encounter africanized? 3. Have you ever encountered honey that was either hallucogenic or poison as I've read about in ancient times where armies treated themselves to wild honey and paid a medical price for it.
1. I kept the good wax for rendering.
2. The Africanized bee in not in Louisiana....yet.
3. The only honey I have eaten is just plain good, and that's special enough.
Thanks for watching. God's peace.
Mr. Ed
It’s sad such a big hive died. It reminded me of an abscess afterwards.
A truly sad event, but one that is often repeated in the cycle of bees. It is tragic to see such a once magnificent hive reduced to a pile of trash. Until the next one, God's peace.
Mr. Ed
Thanks for sharing Mr.ED👍🏽👍🏽💕💕👏🏽👏🏽💕💕
Mr. Ed!! I've missed a few of your videos and plan to catch up this week. God bless and keep you My Friend! *Have a good, safe, and protected week!!*
I was wondering where you have been, happy to see you are checking back in.Now, go get caught up with my adventures and keep safe. Thank you for your blessings, and I hope you have a great week as well. God's peace LD.
Mr. Ed
My man I started smiling when I saw your face. That's the biggest smile I've ever seen, I'm so happy, thank you.
Wrangling bees puts a big smile on my face, and I'm so happy to hear that my smile made you smile as well. Thanks so much for your kind words and for taking the time to watch the video. God's peace Paca.
Mr. Ed
Thanks for yet another great upload
You are very welcome Melanie, and thank you for taking the time to watch. Until the next one, God's peace.
Mr. Ed
That is an interesting looking hive, the shape is unique
I would have loved seeing this hive while it was still in it's glory. It was over 5 feet long and at one time probably had over 50,000 bees in it. To bad it was reduced to a pile of trash. Thanks for watching. God's peace Sal.
Mr. Ed
Did not go as expected, but all cannot. God bless, and keep up the great work.
The life of a bee wrangler, the good, the bad, and the really ugly. Thank you for your blessing, support, and for taking the time to watch. God's peace Ricky.
Mr. Ed
Love the Smiling still shots 😻😻😻
Wow for how much yuck there was that much glory! Blessings! 💞😻🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝
Lots of nasty stuff on this video, but lots of great tasting honey as well, the yin and the yang of removals. Thank you for your blessings and for watching. God's peace.
Mr. Ed
I heard bees can get sick eating honey from different hives? Idk. I enjoyed this video. I'm gonna watch more. :)
That rumor is not true, bees will not get sick from eating honey from other hives. Bees steal honey from other hives all the time, that is what a robber bee is, and are never harmed by it. Glad to hear you will be watching more. Until the next one, God's peace Stella.
Mr. Ed
Wow! That is very disgusting, so glad we don't get beetles that survive our California climate
They are some nasty critters. I have probably lost 10 hives to them this year. I hope the fires stop soon for you guys. God's peace brother.
Mr. Ed
We get taco dinners for wearing his shirt? I'm going to have to have a chat with Mr. Dirtrooster.
I guess he figures you live so far away, you would not want to drive all the way to Gulfport to collect your pay. For me, it's worth the ride. God's peace Okie.
Mr. Ed
@@JeffHorchoff if he's buying, he has to drive up here.
@@OkieRob Good luck with that. That guy is so tight he'll squeeze a buffalo nickel till it screams, and with those hands he's got that buffalo does not stand a chance. Hey make sure you read my reply to the Rooster's comment, you are mentioned. God's peace brother.
Mr. Ed
Man I love your videos 💗💗💗
Thank you so much Bill, and thank you for taking the time to watch them. God's peace.
Mr. Ed
That was a monstrous hive. WOW. So did the hive beetles end up killing that have off and why it got robbed out? I mean that's severe. I'd hate to be the homeowner to clean that mess up. Obviously they have to strip the sheet rock off the walls and ceiling, but the cleaning of the wood...UGH
My guess as to the demise of this hive was mites. Yes, the beetles played a significant role, but it was more a one, two punch. Because the homeowners were renovating the property, all the work necessary to clean up this mess will be part of that job. Still, Im glad I don't have to deal with it. Thanks for watching. God's peace.
Mr. Ed
LMAO - enjoy that taco dinner!!!
That was a very interesting hive. Thanks for sharing.
I fully intend on enjoying the dinner. Personally, I think I sell myself way to cheaply, I should hold out for fajitas. Glad you enjoyed the video, thanks for watching. God's peace Ron.
Mr. Ed
I was glad you got a blessing in the midst of all that mess! 👍 Oh, and make sure the Rooster pays up on those taco dinners! 😂😂 God bless and stay safe.
A real surprise for sure, no way was I expecting to find such pretty honey comb in this mess. I have it written down so I won't forget. Trust me, he's going to bee buying. Thank you for your blessing and concern Diane, always great to hear from you. God's peace.
Mr. Ed
Wow! Really impressive. And incredible that after the slime is that huge hive. So much honey. So much work of the bees.
At one time this was a magnificent bee hive. What a shame to see it reduced to a pile of trash. At least I was able to recover some honey form it, but I would have much preferred having the bees themselves. Thanks for watching. God's peace Beate.
Mr. Ed
I don’t know whether you read your older video comments, but my goodness I was shocked to see such a strong hive just die
Tyvm for this one, makes me realise again how fragile life is
I do read and try to answer all my comments, even the old ones. I figure if someone takes the time to watch the video and leave a comment, the least I can do to show my appreciation is to answer them. I see it very often, a strong colony that fades away. I always say there are just a few possibilities for this to happen, a failing queen or mites. In either case, it is sad to see, and as you said, life is very fragile. 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 Miko.

Mr. Ed
@@JeffHorchoff that would be great god speed
Wow ! It looked like you were delivering an alien baby with those first slimy chunks came down . Clips from this could be used in a Halloween movie attack honey slime. Great job
Grossssss wow. The things you do Mr Ed. You are my hero
That's the exact same thing my mom tells me still. First responders and all those in the military are heros, I'm just a bee wrangler. Thanks for watching. God's peace CS.
Mr. ed
Great video. Very interesting. I appreciate the work and time you put into these videos. I was wondering mite counts you generally find in these cutouts. Thanks. God bless.
My guess is the mite count was out of the world, I think that is what killed the hive and the beetles and moths took advantage of an unprotected and vulnerable situation. Thank you for your blessing and for watching. God's peace Garry.
Mr. Ed
Una lastima lo de la colmena.Como siempre un placer ver sus vídeos ,un abrazo grande y suerte.
Fue realmente un espectáculo muy triste ver una colmena tan magnífica reducida a un montón de basura. Sin duda, este es el lado oscuro de la apicultura que a nadie le gusta ver, pero es una parte muy importante de la cría de abejas. Muy feliz de escuchar que disfrutas viendo mis aventuras de lucha de abejas, gracias por eso, así como por tus abrazos y amables palabras. Hasta la próxima, la paz de Dios Ema.
Sr. Ed
Good work. I've never seen anything like it. God bless you
Thank you so much for your blessing, receiving them is my favorite perks of having a TH-cam channel. 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 9 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 Kath.
Mr. Ed
I know you said no, but it was definitely poisoned either by hole in the ceiling or the entrance. If the queen died out, It’s way to weird that a hive that size couldn’t/didn’t have back up cups or supersedure cells ready. I’m only speaking on suspicion/research as I’m waiting on my first honey bee hive to arrive. Thanks Mr Ed and Good Time Charlie 👍👌👍
The camera only showed the big pile of bees, the truth is the pile had built up over a period of 2 months. Bees would enter the room and die by the window. Because I know the homeowners, and they told me the bees were never poisoned, I did ask, I'm certain the bees had not been poisoned. My guess is these bees were done in by mites. I know you have to bee pumped waiting for them, best wishes for all your successes. Thanks for watching. God's peace.
Mr. Ed
Thanks cobber, no worries the poor little buggers. That was a great size hive to. It would have been an amazing asset to the apiary if it was healthy
Your awesome God bless you for all that you do!
Thank you for your blessing and kind words Tammy, they are greatly appreciated. God's peace.
Mr. Ed
always a treat "Mr Ed here!" thanks for the vid!😎
You are very welcome Larry. Not every bee rescue turns out good, but showing this side of bee wrangling is still part of the whole story. Until the next one, God's peace brother.
Mr. Ed
16:13 Looks like that hive was finger-lickin' good! Glad you could save some of the comb and honey.
It most certainly was, after I got past all the nasty stuff. I wound up getting over 2 gallons of honey from the comb I was able to salvage. Thanks for watching. God's peace.
Mr. Ed
Done one of those a few years back...the second my razor knife cut into the plaster, a stream of fermented honey goop oozed out all over the kitchen...luckily I had put a tote under that spot...the amount of beetles and larva was incredible but the smell was nasty as hell.
I do not like taking a honey shower, but when it's nasty, fermented honey, that's when gaging takes place. I lost your email, but would love to do the Zoom, get back in touch. God's peace Bill.
Mr. Ed
Very interesting! I had no idea that the wax beetles could make such a mess!
They are some nasty little critters, and there is no love in my heart for them. Thanks for watching. God's peace Stephanie.
Mr. Ed
Love your videos always!!! What killed the bees? Where did the Queen Bee go ? Was there a deal breaker and she had to leave? LOL That's so sad.....What a mess.....
Always a joy for me when I hear how much folks like watching my bee wrangling adventures, thank you for that kindness. My guess as to what killed the bees would be mites. Typically at this time of year a hive is in full production of brood. There are lots of capped brood cells which is where the mites mature, propagate, and infect developing larva with all types of viruses. The fully developed bee emerges from the cell deformed or infected and soon dies. This would not be a serious thing if it only happened to a few bees, but when more than half of the developing cells are infected, this has a devastating effect on the colony. No new bees to replace the ones that are dying naturally with age only means the certain demise of the colony within a very short period of time. Eventually, the healthy bees that are still in the hive can no longer protect it from other natural enemies, the wax moth and small hive beetle primarily, or other bees that want to steal the hive's stores of honey, these are robber bees. The hive becomes over run with adversaries and the remaining bees, and often the queen is she has not been killed, abandon, or in bee culture abscond, the hive. So, the question about whether or not mites are deal breakers, the answer is certainly yes, they are. God's peace Mona.
Mr. Ed
@@JeffHorchoff That was very impressive Mr.Ed!
Thank you.........you taught me alot, today!
So happy to hear you find instruction from watching my bee wrangling adventures, thank you very much for taking the time to watch and learn. Until the next time, God's peace Jeanne.
Mr. Ed
I don't think I could do all this extra stuff that You do, you're definitely a Hero & a motivated bee lover & thank you for caring about all of the Bees & willing to go the extra distance to do everything you do! Btw, I can sure can taste that honey& comb/ pure heaven! Enjoy! My father used his bees for his arthritis as well, he would place one secure on tweezers & have my mother put it on his back where he hurt, I watched what I could, lol
That's such a shame the waste of that hive and the Bee's hard work , it's just so amazing to me how they build their hives 🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝😊
It is a shame to see such a loss, but it is nature. Thanks for watching. God's peace Terri.
Mr. Ed
nice job...love your shirt :o))
Wrangling bees is not always a fun job, but it's always interesting. The Dirt Rooster appreciates that. Thanks for watching. God's peace Rusty.
Mr. Ed
Wow. That was a great video! I watch on my desktop and never see any ads, btw. I probably would have thrown down a tarp of two to facilitate cleanup. Thanks!
Hey Dave, great to hear from you,I hope all is well. Like you, I watch on my laptop and never see an ad, but no so if I watch on my phone. Had I known how large this hive was going to be I would have put down a tarp. It took twice as long to clean up because I had not done that. Live and learn. God's peace brother.
Mr. Ed
Jeff Horchoff Bees I think TH-cam are putting more ads on so people pay to get premium. X
@@lozz1846 So do I. God's peace Lozz.
Mr. Ed
How in the world do the hive beetles even get up into a hive like that... So sad so see such a huge beautiful hive be taken over like that :(
Just like any other type of beetle, they fly. It really was a sad sight to see this once great hive reduced to a pile of trash. Thanks for watching. God's peace Sarah.
Mr. Ed
Hey Mr Ed, how are you keeping? All good I hope. That hive was definitely an unfortunate mess. But at least you salvaged a bit of comb. Nature certainly is weird at times... how things play out, bees robbing/killing bees. Sad to see, but I guess that's life eh.. can't wait for the next video. Hope Charlie is keeping well too. Best wishes as always, from Co. Dublin, Ireland xx
As much as I care and love bees, the natural cycle of a bee hive is finite, as is man's. Realizing this puts the proper perspective on both life and lose of it with bees and man as well. Thank you so much for your well wishes and for all the time you take following along with my bee wrangling adventures. God's peace Adwina.
Mr. Ed
Love all your videos Mr. Ed. Will you/did you salvage the wax comb?
I meant all the nasty comb.
So glad to hear you enjoy watching my videos, thank you very much for that. I did salvage a lot of the wax. However, the amount of effort necessary to render the nasty looking wax would be far greater then the actual amount of wax saved after the processing. And because I have so many other irons in the fire, for me, I would not do it. Thanks for watching. God's peace.
Mr. Ed
Your so cute 😍😍 so happy. Your the kind of therapy everyone needs. Another great video 😁☺️🐝❤️
I'm just a bee wrangler who is happy to share all my bee wrangling experiences, the bad ones as well as the good ones. Thanks so much for your kind words and for taking the time to watch my adventures. Till the next one, God's peace Lozz.
Mr. Ed
Watch out for the wire! LOL
I had my eye on it the entire time. Thanks for watching. God's peace.
Mr. Ed
This is a testament to why you should never poison a hive!
Who said the hive was poisoned?
Any bee keeper would have the same suspicions, I know those were my first thoughts. However, as I know the homeowners, they are naturalists, and I believe they spoke the truth when I asked if they had used something to kill the bees and they vehemently said no. The reason there were so many dead bees was that area had not been cleaned for over 2 months, and in that time period, that many bees had "gotten lost," could not return to the hive, went to the window, and there died. I truly regret not mentioning that fact in the video as now I have to clear it up in the comment section. However, I certainly will address that issue the next time I encounter a mass of dead bees by a window, and I'm sure that won't bee to long from now since it is such a common sight. Thanks for watching. God's peace Dwight.
Mr. Ed
@@Billy2011C Way to go Billy! God's peace brother.
Mr. Ed
@@Billy2011C I'm not saying these were poisoned.... I'm just saying the results would me the same...
