My gratitude for the blessing that are bestowed upon me can't be contained, I just have to express my thankfulness. Thanks for watching. God's peace. Mr. Ed
I am so glad you have learned a thing or two from watching my be wrangling adventures, it is my pleasure to share my joy and knowledge of keeping bees. And you are correct, Ralph is a very good man. Thanks for watching. God's peace. Mr. Ed
Thank you for your blessings and support. It's my pleasure to share my knowledge and joy of keeping bees. Thanks for following along. God's peace. Mr. Ed
I just love watching your videos, and keeping up with your beekeeping. For example, the happiness I can see on your face in the first few seconds of this video. It's contagious, and it makes my day every time I see it! God bless you Mr. Ed.
At least he did not have to make a lot of room for them, may bee he brought a few extra as well. Thanks for watching so many of my videos. God's peace Robert. Mr. Ed
Thanks for the great compliment, and I'm delighted to hear you enjoyed the video. I've done over 300 videos, and I'm hoping to continue making them for a long time to come. I'm looking forward to hearing from you again soon on more of my bee wrangling adventures. Thanks for watching. God's peace. Mr. Ed
It was very nice talking to you this morning. Keep up the great work. Love these videos. Please be kind and safe. We all deserve the most respect and kindness we can show each other here on this channel.
I enjoyed talking with you also. Thank you so much for making the effort to reach out and for following along with my bee wrangling adventures. God's peace brother. Mr. Ed
Now that was a different wrangling adventure for you wasn't it. Ralph, Randy, and I have been processing the Abbee honey together for the last 4 years now, we really do make a good team. God's peace Lewie. Mr. Ed
And Ralph was in his natural element---- INSTRUCTION!!! Randy was hanging right in there too and it WAS a good video. Thanks, Jeff! I always like to see a plan come together! GBWYou TOO, Brother! And BRETHREN!
@@JeffHorchoff I was curious..How many hives do you have now. I like your new honey extractor. You must be pushing out some honey now. Keep up the swarm traps..Always getting some mixed genetics helps your apiary.
Processing the honey is amazing. You would think retrieving the honey from bee's comb would be difficult, but it is very simple. The truth is, you do not even need any of the machines used in the video, you can simply squeeze the comb by hand and then filter the honey. I really prefer using the machines though, it makes it go a lot faster. Thanks for watching. God's peace. Mr. Ed
15:38 if those buckets had a valve on the bottom you could drain the honey then just dump the wax. Love the videos, fun to watch you work with the bee's.
So glad you enjoyed the video Larry. I was just wondering, if the bees and I make a great team, why do they sting me so often? Thanks for watching. God's peace. Mr. Ed
Thank you Jeff! This is such an excellent video showing what goes into Abbey Honey. So interesting! Such cool helpers! Your upbeat, informative video made my day. Blessings .
And Happy Birthday to your brother! It would also be interesting to see what happens with the wax. Isn't there a brother there that makes candles? That would bee a neat video.
Could you tell we were having fun. It was a great day and we got a lot accomplished. Ralph, Randy, and I have been processing the Abbee honey together for the last 4 years now, we really do make a good team. I will pass your Birthday wish on to my brother, he will like that, and I plan on making a video about rendering the cappings from the comb, stay tuned. Thank you for your blessing and for following along with all my bee wrangling adventures. God's peace Juliana. Mr. Ed
Incredible to think all that honey came from tiny little bees and not just that, local bees that you tend. I bet the end of that day felt great to see all that honey in storage.
It is incredible to think that all that honey was made from the effort of bees. A typical honey bee will produce only about 1/10 of a teaspoon full of honey in it's life time, and it takes 768 teaspoon fulls to produce one gallon. Our bees were able to produce 140 gallons of honey this spring, and if you do the math, it took over 1 million bees to produce that much honey. Now that amazing. Thanks for watching. God's peace. Mr. Ed
I just posted the teaser video on our processing honey for this year, the link is below. Also, on Friday the full length version will be posted, get ready. God's peace Gibby. Mr. Ed th-cam.com/video/FD87NU15A0U/w-d-xo.html
First, thank you for your blessing, that is so kind of you. I wish everyone could smell what the honey house smells like as we process all those frames of honey......absolutely fabulous. The smell of newly cut wax and sweet honey combined is like the smell of a clear, Spring morning. To bad I could not capture that on the video. Thanks for watching. God's peace. Mr. Ed
Delighted you enjoyed the video, and I hope you will check out more of my wrangling adventures on my channel and let me know what you think of them, there are over 350 of them. By the way, I post a new video every Friday. God's peace Dave. Mr. Ed
As you well know, you got to have the right tools to make the job fun and easy. I'm happy the monks don't mind me trying to improve the honey hut. Your channel just keeps on growing, congratulations. God's peace brother. Mr. Ed
Another great Video by the crew of Mr Ed also known as Jeff, I noticed that everyone worked excep Mr Ed, thanks for posting and god bless all of the guys that helped you
Thank you for your blessing Joe! All the honey we process is then sold in the St. Joseph Gift Shop. We bottled over 1, 700 1 pound bottles, and sold all of in in less than 3 months. There is a great demand for the honey. God's peace brother. Mr. Ed
Because of this channel, ive decided that when i get my own place ill keep bees (: youve inspired me! My family thinks im crazy and said that its not a good idea but i dont care what they think, im gonna do it! Have a great day Mr Edd! God bless!
Thank you for your blessing Brianna, I truly appreciate it. May I suggest an idea to you, while you are waiting to start your own bee keeping journey, begin by joining a bee club in your area. You will meet many knowledgeable bee keepers that live around you, and they can mentor you. You will learn to keep bees specifically in your area which will become a tremendous asset for you. Please keep me posted on your journey. Thank you so much for watching my bee wrangling adventures. God's peace. Mr. Ed
Thank you for sharing your knowledge with all. As I’m allergic to bees I’m unable to keep them... I appreciate what you do and can only dream. Blessings to you.
Thank you for your blessing Lynette. It is a real pleasure for me to share my knowledge about bees. The way I see it, the more folks are aware of the value of bees, the more they will be willing to save them rather kill them. Thanks for watching. God's peace. Mr. Ed
I have been truly blessed to be able to pursue what brings me great joy. I wish the same for everyone. Thank you for your kind words and for following along with my wrangling adventures. God's peace. Mr. Ed
Whoa! I'm at 5:06 and the uncapping station is dripping honey off the station - into what? tell me you have a bucket down there! Wow. That was an awesome video! Lovely to see the fruit of your stewardship of the bees. Job well done!
Of course there is a tub below the uncapper. There is no way I'm wasting any honey or wax. Thanks for your kind words Julie. God's peace always. Mr. Ed
You honor me with your words, thank you. The bee vac really works great, I could not tell you how may times I have used it with not one failure. Merry Christmas, and God's peace. Mr. Ed
i have just started watching your videos and you tickle me so much, your laugh is contagious and calming all at once. i cant sleep lately till i watch one of your videos... God bless!
Thank you so much for your blessing and very kind words Heather, they are greatly appreciated. I look forward to hearing from you again soon on more of my bee wrangling adventures. Don't forget, I post a new video every Friday. till the next time, God's peace. Mr. Ed
Morning Jeff, what a sweet reward to wake up to. Just what I needed to jumpstart my long journey. I pray that this will not be my last trip to visit my mother. GB Kate
Jeff Horchoff this time I've got to go nearly to the Canadian border. My older sister has her in a assisted living facility close to her and other family.its only 2 or 3 hundred miles from the ranch we grew up on. So moms brothers and sister come visit as often as they can. One way for me will be 1537 miles. Thank you for the prayers as I know they help. GB. Kate
Actually, clean up is VERY easy. Because we have a troff/drain that runs down the center of our building, and exits under the slab in the back of the honey house, we simply wash all our machines down with hot water, we also have a tankless hot water heater just for that purpose. To clean the honey house and all the machines took 2 guys less than one hour to finish. You are correct about the price of our honey, $ 9.00 a pound is a very reasonable price considering all the work that is involved. By the way, I just posted this years edition of processing our honey, the link is below. So glad you enjoyed the video. Thanks for watching. God's peace Delmar. Mr. Ed th-cam.com/video/jpwmbmBbcKs/w-d-xo.html
It's my pleasure to share my bee wrangling experiences, I'm just delighted that you are following along. The fact that you are watching from Argentina is really cool. God's peace Jaume. Mr. Ed
Good Friday morning Mr. Ed. As much as I love my bees, this is the part I like the most. I don't have near the facility you have. But I still love cranking on that extractor and watching the honey fill up in the bottom. Thank you kind sir for all your knowledge and humor. God bless you Jeff.
First, thank you for your blessing, and second, I do love the processing of honey also. For me, there is always trepidation because I am using some equipment for the first time and I'm not sure if it will work properly, and second, I ALWAYS worry about not having enough honey to supply the abbey's gift with. Regardless of the amount I send over there, it always runs out in a very short time. This time I will send 1,200 bottles over there, and I hope that will last till October when I make the next harvest. We shall see, but I have the assurance, God will provide. Thank you for your kind words and for watching. God's peace. Mr. Ed
Yes God will provide. Do remember He understands supply and demand very well - so if you have trouble keeping honey in the gift shop, do understand there is a reason! 1200 bottles! That is an awesome accomplishment for all involved!
What a day of laughs, sticky hands, feet, cloths, and hair. I can hardly wait to do it again at the end of October. Thanks for watching. God's peace. Mr. Ed
Jeff, I am always humbled and grateful when I watch you care for these little marvels of God’s ingenuity. The very fact that you are constantly praying over them and thanking our Lord for the safe capture of the queen, and the joy you express with each video is such a force for good! Your various crews that help wrangle, help harvest and help prepare for the Abby gift shoppe is simply inspirational. How can we not love you all? Thank you for your expertise and for sharing it with us! God’s greatest blessings on you and your endeavors. Cindy Cox, Sun Valley Nv
OK Cindy, the checks in the mail. Thank you for your blessing and your so many kind words. The truth is, my joy comes from the aspect of giving, and in those actions, it attracts others of the same frame of mind. That is why you see so many happy folks in the videos I make and in the work we do. Then, it ripples out and folks like yourself step forward and I get to met them through the medium of video.Thank you so much for being a part of something so large, I'm happy to bee part of it also. God's peace. Mr. Ed
The good news is there are very few bees in the honey house when we process the honey. Now, getting the honey from the bee boxes themselves is a different story. God's peace Sandra. Mr. Ed
You saw that, I think he must have hit something on the floor to make the dolly tip like that. Fortunately, he had great presence and made a good save. It was a really good day, we got a lot accomplished, and we had a bunch of fun doing it. Thanks for watching. God's peace. Mr. Ed
Awesome set up Mr. Ed !!!!! Who's the lucky one that gets to clean all the machinery ? Love your videos , and always look forward to all your new posts. God Bless Mr. Ed. ...... Adrian
Thank you for your blessing Adrian, I deeply appreciate all of them. Clean up is very easy in the honey house. We simply wash everything down with hot water, and it drains into a troff running down the center of the building. God's peace. Mr. Ed
Robert Kenney can never have enough of those..just as the amount of honey varies, so does the amount of wax. It is all part of the processes and I happen to find it all fascinating. Have a great day!
Yeah, I know what you're talking about. You never know what Mr Ed comes up with each year, plus it's calming watching him. He's at peace, and so are the bees. I might add, at the end of that "Rendering" video he promised us a second video showing how they use the wax(candles, etc?), which he hasn't done yet. So he owes us. (Like he owes us anything at all. :-D )
I plan on making a video on the rendering of the capping wax next week, and I will post it soon after that. Stay tuned. Thanks for watching. God's peace. Mr. Ed
Awesome Jeff, can't wait to see you at the abbey when I make it out that way. And if I help like in the video here, I'll have sticky fingers from tasting.
Those frames look incredible Mr. Ed, totally packed! Hoping to get a few like that myself this season. I'm going to have to extract the old fashion way though.
Nothing finer than new comb on new frames filled with spring honey.....and it's pretty tasty too. I wish your harvest is as blessed as ours was. Thanks for watching. God's peace. Mr. Ed
It is a beautiful sight to behold, that's why I showed it so often. Not only was it clean looking, it smelled wonderful. Thanks for watching. God's peace. Mr. Ed
God has blessed us abundantly. Are you going to make our meeting this month, it this Thursday, I hope you can make it. Hope to see you then. God's peace Shelly. Mr. Ed
The Lord has blessed you all. When I started watching your channel Jeff, you all had just gotten the spinner and if memory serves me right, you were bottling your own. Your goal was to have 100 hives...Have you met your goal yet? ~karen
I agree, God has blessed the Abbee Honey program. When i began keeping the bees for the monks back in 2012, I did not even have somewhere to store equipment or process honey, I can't say that anymore. The program really has taken off despite the flood in 2016 that wiped everything out. We are over 100 hives now, but I'd feel better if the number were closer to 200, we will just have to see what God has in mind for us. Thank you so much for your years of following along, I really appreciate it. God's peace Karen. Mr. Ed
been to hot to mess with bees, 102 for 4 days then hits 106 like a month > we just now getting BLESSING RAIN, now i can pull honey again cheers bro thanks for another great video cheers bud
Thank you very much for your blessing and for watching, they are greatly appreciated.. 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 Juan. Mr. Ed
I can see you becoming a bee keeper in Arizona, but you are going to have to deal with the Africanized bees that are there. Here in Louisiana, we do not have them. Let me know how your journey goes. Thanks for watching. God's peace Dwayne. Mr. Ed
@@JeffHorchoff God has placed special people like you to be bee keepers! I'm a gospel musician and I'll stick to music! And leave the bees to y'all professionals. LOL I just want to taste the raw honey, straight from the hive! Looks delicious!
I'm delighted to hear you enjoyed the video. Processing honey is part of keeping bees, but most of my videos, as you will find out for yourself, are about bee rescues. I post these videos, to show just how important bees are to our very survival, and why we should not just kill them out of ignorance. I have been rescuing bees from being needlessly destroyed for over 6 years now, and hope to continue to do so for many more years to come. Thanks for watching, and I hope you will check out more of my bee wrangling/ bee rescues adventures and let me know what you think of them. By the way, I post a new video every Friday morning, and I look forward to hearing from you again soon. God's peace. Mr. Ed
Very nice! Who wouldn’t like working in that environment of positive and up-beat attitudes?! I hope my countenance reflects that same degree of joy. Thank you Jeff for producing these wonderful, uplifting videos. You would have us all believe that these are just wonderful, instructional videos on the joys of beekeeping. However, I see that these are each a piece of a larger work. The love of Jesus is present in each, and is evident in your warm smile and pleasant greeting at the introduction of each presentation. If each observer could be infused with even a small fraction of that, then your efforts are reaping a much larger and important harvest. Selfishly, I would ask you to please continue, and for the sake of all who watch and all who have yet to see these but someday will, I would also ask that you please continue. You’re planting very good seeds indeed. Warmest regards from the plains of Western Oklahoma,
Ones behavior is but a manifestation of ones heart, and if that heart is centered on Christ, what a joy it is to behold. Yes, we all have bad days where our selfishness crowds out the goodness we seek, but we ask for forgiveness, and get back on the right path. I hope to continue making videos and sharing the passion I have for life and all of God's creation. God's peace always Mark. Mr. Ed
We are just a couple of guys who love bees and like working with each other. We really had a fun day processing the honey. Thanks for watching. God's peace. Mr. Ed
Thanks, but I could not do it without the help of some really great folks. I will agree with you, the grounds here at the abbey are beeeeeeautiful. God's peace Matt. Mr. Ed
Some of the churches always had bees because of the wax for the candles. I believe it was in England where each farmer back then was required to have at least 3 hives for the wax.
A bee can produce 1/10 of a teaspoon of honey in it's lifetime. That means 140 gallons of honey represents the work of over 1 million bees to produce that quantity. Now that's an impressive number. God's peace Kevin. Mr. Ed
Thank you for your kind words and support of our program here at the abbey. The real proof of the quality of our honey here is by tasting it, simply delicious. 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. God's peace. Mr. Ed
If you use frames for honey supers only, they do not get dark or brown. Only brood frames will get dark, the more brood is reared in them the darker the cell gets.
Wow... very cool to see this scale of operation. As a kid, I helped my mom with her hive... but we only had a 2 frame extractor and hot knife... a lot of work. I hope to keep bees again soon myself! edit: Wow! that honey moves pretty fast through that tube with that pump!
Me and my sister LOVE watching your video's!! We love honey, and we love watching the way the bees work! 🐝Your videos are so FUN!! We always always look forward to them!! 👴🐝
Thank you so much for your many kind words, and you devotion to watching my bee wrangling adventures. Please pass along my thanks to your sister as well. God's peace. Mr. Ed
@Alex G I was living up in Maine at the time. It was local bee keepers that sold to a farm that operated their own business. So, pretty sure it was sold to the farm, then the farm increased the price to make a profit.
If you are ever in the New Orleans area at the end of June or October, get in touch with me and I'd bee more than happy to let you share in the joy of harvesting honey. No skills necessary, I'll teach you. Thanks for watching. God's peace. Mr. Ed
What are the lower walls covered with? Finishing up my honey house and tossing ideas around. Pressure washing walls and floors is a nice option for cleanup
They are 4x8 sheets of food grade "plastic" like material. Water proof and easy clean up as well. They are attached to the sheetrock using an epoxy glue. Still, use care when hosing the building, even though it's green sheet rock, try not to get it wet. Best wishes with your project, let me know when it's finished. God's peace. Mr. Ed
I am very glad you enjoyed the video, and I hope you will check out more of my bee wrangling adventures on my channel. Thank you so much for watching in Barcelona. God's peace. Mr. Ed
Glad you liked the video. I just posted the latest honey harvest we made, over 500 gallons. Here's the link to that one.Thanks for watching. God's peace Robert. Mr. Ed th-cam.com/video/PluHRF-oMog/w-d-xo.html
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. Mr. Ed
That's fantastic to hear, so I'm hoping that means you will bee watching lots more of my bee wrangling adventures for therapeutic reasons as well as shear enjoyment. By the way, there is no charge for the therapy, I'm just happy to help. Thanks for watching, and I hope to hear from you again. God's peace. Mr. Ed
Another great video I love watching your Videos as I want to have my own hands but I am allergic to bees But I would love to have fresh honey of my own
So glad you enjoyed the video, and I'm sorry to hear of your allergic reaction to bees. Not everyone is meant to be a bee keeper, but still you can appreciate the importance of bees and the role they play in our very survival as pollinators. Plus, they make honey. 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. God's peace. Mr. Ed
Jeff Horchoff I have watched many of your videos and I absolutely love every single one of them. Please keep them coming as you do such a wonderful job. God bless you.
Thank you for your blessing, I appreciate it very much. Getting new equipment is really cool, it makes the job so much easier. I hope it works well for you. Thanks for watching. God's peace. Mr. Ed
I feel your pain. I know very well the frustration/disappointment you feel because your bees are not where you'd like them to be as far as their development. May I offer a suggestion, don't lose hope. Even if these bees don't amount to much, you will soon enough come across ones that will meet all your expectations. Keeping bees is a real roller coaster ride when it comes to successes and disappointments. Hang tough and keep at it. Thanks for watching. God's peace. Mr. Ed
It works very well when you have a bunch of friends helping. Ralph, Randy, and I have been harvesting honey together for at least 4 years now, we really work well together. Thanks for watching. God's peace. Mr. Ed
They say you taped this was my husbands funeral :( he passed away June 25 of a massive heart attack and we have a 14 month old together:/ but thank you for posting great videos! It really helps me to keep my mind off of things!!! You’ll never understand how much your videos have truly helped me! Thank you ☺️
You have my deepest sympathy Kamber, and rest assured, I will keep you, your husband, and your child in my prayers. I am happy to know that the videos I produce offer you a place of retreat. God's peace always. Mr. Ed
Stay strong for your Baby Kamber, it gets much, much easier after the 2 year mark - You can do it - And it will be so worth it. Stay focused on the future and keep focusing on the positive, not the past. Lots of people are praying for you.
We have the same Dakota gunness uncapper with a table at the end and it doesn't stop till we fill three 96 frame extractors and then do it again ... we run about 550 hives though ...
I'll never get to 550, nor do I want to, way to much work for me, but I sure so love those girls. I know the uncapper can keep up with the load you put on it, the machine is incredible. Where are you guys located? Thanks for watching. God's peace Richard. Mr. Ed
To be able to see how your honey is made from catching the bees to actually extracting the honey. When does this batch of honey go on sale at the Abbey. I cannot make it to Louisiana to buy the honey but there must be some way to buy it online and I am very much looking forward to buying and paying for shipping. I really want to have YOUR honey. St. Joseph has some special meanings to me. I was born at St. Joseph hospital. My first child was born at St. Joseph Hospital. Our last name is Joseph. So you see why YOUR honey is special. I am awaiting the day when I can taste this lovely God made honey from the Abbey bees. Thank you Mr. Ed. God bless you for doing this work.
Thank you for your blessing JJ. The honey goes on sale at the abbey gift shop this Saturday, July 14th. Contact me through my abbey email at jhorchoff@sjasc.edu and I will see what we can arrange. God's peace. Mr. Ed
It's so wonderful to see you always give credit and thanks to God in every video. He loves us and gives freely to us each and every day.
My gratitude for the blessing that are bestowed upon me can't be contained, I just have to express my thankfulness. Thanks for watching. God's peace.
Mr. Ed
MR. ED this is your brother Keith. good luck and may GODS grace be with you.i AM DISABLED And always watching your videos.Love you brother!!!
Thank you for your blessing, kind words, and faithfulness to following along with my bee wrangling adventures Keith. God's peace brother.
Mr. Ed
I swear, you are a combination of Mr Rogers, and Bob Ross of bee keeping. You just bring a certain level of calm, and kindness.
What a GREAT compliment, thank you very much for that. Thanks for watching. God's peace.
Mr. Ed
you forgot ninja turtle.
I am a thankful man for all you have taught me. I love the way you thank the FATHER. Wrecking Ralph is a good right hand man.
I am so glad you have learned a thing or two from watching my be wrangling adventures, it is my pleasure to share my joy and knowledge of keeping bees. And you are correct, Ralph is a very good man. Thanks for watching. God's peace.
Mr. Ed
Brother Ed. This is so educational. Thank you for your time and service. Blessing be upon you!
Thank you for your blessings and support. It's my pleasure to share my knowledge and joy of keeping bees. Thanks for following along. God's peace.
Mr. Ed
I just love watching your videos, and keeping up with your beekeeping. For example, the happiness I can see on your face in the first few seconds of this video. It's contagious, and it makes my day every time I see it! God bless you Mr. Ed.
Mr. Ed. Love your videos. I'm so grateful Noah got those two bees on the ark.
At least he did not have to make a lot of room for them, may bee he brought a few extra as well. Thanks for watching so many of my videos. God's peace Robert.
Mr. Ed
You are the Bob Ross of bees. Glad there are people like you guys that still do this. Thanks so much for the video... Keep up the great work.
Thanks for the great compliment, and I'm delighted to hear you enjoyed the video. I've done over 300 videos, and I'm hoping to continue making them for a long time to come. I'm looking forward to hearing from you again soon on more of my bee wrangling adventures. Thanks for watching. God's peace.
Mr. Ed
11:45 that was the calmest reaction to a bee sting i think i've seen in my life. Amen.
May bee so, but it still hurt. Thanks for watching. God's peace Tyrone.
Mr. Ed
Love going back in time to play catch up. Really enjoying your uploads.
Keep on looking, there's only 400 of them to watch. Thanks so much for taking the time to watch and leave your comment. God's peace Melanie.
Mr. Ed
It was very nice talking to you this morning. Keep up the great work. Love these videos. Please be kind and safe. We all deserve the most respect and kindness we can show each other here on this channel.
I enjoyed talking with you also. Thank you so much for making the effort to reach out and for following along with my bee wrangling adventures. God's peace brother.
Mr. Ed
Loved this video ,Jeff. You all ways bring a smile to my heart.
Thank you for your kind words. In truth, I'm just a guy who loves saving bees and sharing the experience. Thanks for watching. God's peace.
Mr. Ed
Hi Jeff that was wonderful to watch. I love chef Randy smiling as he works. Awesome harvest ❤️👍🏼
So glad you enjoyed the video. Trust me, we all had a great time processing all the honey. Thanks for watching. God's peace Megs.
Mr. Ed
70 gallons in 2015 and 140 gallons 3 years later! May God increase you constantly!!!
That was GOOD and Ralph is still his handsome photogenic self! Thanks for this, Pal! A-PLUS and GBWYou!
Now that was a different wrangling adventure for you wasn't it. Ralph, Randy, and I have been processing the Abbee honey together for the last 4 years now, we really do make a good team. God's peace Lewie.
Mr. Ed
And Ralph was in his natural element---- INSTRUCTION!!! Randy was hanging right in there too and it WAS a good video. Thanks, Jeff! I always like to see a plan come together! GBWYou TOO, Brother! And BRETHREN!
Gotta love that Ed..Always smiling. Your videos make me laugh.
I'm happy to spread a bit of joy as well as a few wrangling adventures. Thanks for your kind words and for watching. God's peace Michael.
Mr. Ed
@@JeffHorchoff I was curious..How many hives do you have now. I like your new honey extractor. You must be pushing out some honey now. Keep up the swarm traps..Always getting some mixed genetics helps your apiary.
Wow, what an amazing process. That honey looks so good and so full of good, healthy goodness. Love to everyone..
Processing the honey is amazing. You would think retrieving the honey from bee's comb would be difficult, but it is very simple. The truth is, you do not even need any of the machines used in the video, you can simply squeeze the comb by hand and then filter the honey. I really prefer using the machines though, it makes it go a lot faster. Thanks for watching. God's peace.
Mr. Ed
15:38 if those buckets had a valve on the bottom you could drain the honey then just dump the wax. Love the videos, fun to watch you work with the bee's.
Thank you Mr. Ed, this was a great video. You and the bees make a great team.
So glad you enjoyed the video Larry. I was just wondering, if the bees and I make a great team, why do they sting me so often? Thanks for watching. God's peace.
Mr. Ed
Thank you Jeff! This is such an excellent video showing what goes into Abbey Honey. So interesting! Such cool helpers! Your upbeat, informative video made my day. Blessings .
And Happy Birthday to your brother! It would also be interesting to see what happens with the wax. Isn't there a brother there that makes candles? That would bee a neat video.
Could you tell we were having fun. It was a great day and we got a lot accomplished. Ralph, Randy, and I have been processing the Abbee honey together for the last 4 years now, we really do make a good team. I will pass your Birthday wish on to my brother, he will like that, and I plan on making a video about rendering the cappings from the comb, stay tuned. Thank you for your blessing and for following along with all my bee wrangling adventures. God's peace Juliana.
Mr. Ed
Hello Mr. Ed! I just wanted to tell you your smile is contagious! It’s amazing! Much love and positive thoughts to you!
Incredible to think all that honey came from tiny little bees and not just that, local bees that you tend. I bet the end of that day felt great to see all that honey in storage.
It is incredible to think that all that honey was made from the effort of bees. A typical honey bee will produce only about 1/10 of a teaspoon full of honey in it's life time, and it takes 768 teaspoon fulls to produce one gallon. Our bees were able to produce 140 gallons of honey this spring, and if you do the math, it took over 1 million bees to produce that much honey. Now that amazing. Thanks for watching. God's peace.
Mr. Ed
Great Show again. Quite an assembly you have going.
I just posted the teaser video on our processing honey for this year, the link is below. Also, on Friday the full length version will be posted, get ready. God's peace Gibby.

Mr. Ed
happy friday Mr Ed another great video bet it smells so nice in the Honey Hut then you are doing this away have a great day and God Bless you all.
First, thank you for your blessing, that is so kind of you. I wish everyone could smell what the honey house smells like as we process all those frames of honey......absolutely fabulous. The smell of newly cut wax and sweet honey combined is like the smell of a clear, Spring morning. To bad I could not capture that on the video. Thanks for watching. God's peace.
Mr. Ed
great video thanks for the the tour really enjoyed it
Delighted you enjoyed the video, and I hope you will check out more of my wrangling adventures on my channel and let me know what you think of them, there are over 350 of them. By the way, I post a new video every Friday. God's peace Dave.

Wow! You got some new equipment. That decapper is sweet! Excellent job by all. Thanks for the video.
As you well know, you got to have the right tools to make the job fun and easy. I'm happy the monks don't mind me trying to improve the honey hut. Your channel just keeps on growing, congratulations. God's peace brother.
Mr. Ed
Jeff Horchoff thanks Jeff. Thanks to you for the inspiration to get started! Keep the Monks happy.
Another great Video by the crew of Mr Ed also known as Jeff, I noticed that everyone worked excep Mr Ed, thanks for posting and god bless all of the guys that helped you
I will pass on your blessing Richard, thank you. And as far as everyone working but me, someone has to supervise. God's peace brother.
Mr. Ed
MR. J. YOU ARE A TRUE PRO, BRILLIANT, MICK FROM UK.
Thank you very much for your kind words and for watching. God's peace Mick.
Mr. Ed
Wow that's a lot honey,God bless you all
Thank you for your blessing Joe! All the honey we process is then sold in the St. Joseph Gift Shop. We bottled over 1, 700 1 pound bottles, and sold all of in in less than 3 months. There is a great demand for the honey. God's peace brother.
Mr. Ed
Because of this channel, ive decided that when i get my own place ill keep bees (: youve inspired me! My family thinks im crazy and said that its not a good idea but i dont care what they think, im gonna do it! Have a great day Mr Edd! God bless!
Thank you for your blessing Brianna, I truly appreciate it. May I suggest an idea to you, while you are waiting to start your own bee keeping journey, begin by joining a bee club in your area. You will meet many knowledgeable bee keepers that live around you, and they can mentor you. You will learn to keep bees specifically in your area which will become a tremendous asset for you. Please keep me posted on your journey. Thank you so much for watching my bee wrangling adventures. God's peace.
Mr. Ed
Thank you so much for the advice!!! I cannot wait!
I just love watching your videos. I love how calm you are around the bees even when they sting you. Thank you and God bless you.
Thank you for blessing, your kind words, and for following along with my bee wrangling adventures. I hope to hear from you again. God's peace.
Mr. Ed
Thank you for sharing your knowledge with all. As I’m allergic to bees I’m unable to keep them... I appreciate what you do and can only dream. Blessings to you.
Thank you for your blessing Lynette. It is a real pleasure for me to share my knowledge about bees. The way I see it, the more folks are aware of the value of bees, the more they will be willing to save them rather kill them. Thanks for watching. God's peace.
Mr. Ed
I love how enthusiastic you are about everything makes the video just that much better keep up the good work
I have been truly blessed to be able to pursue what brings me great joy. I wish the same for everyone. Thank you for your kind words and for following along with my wrangling adventures. God's peace.
Mr. Ed
Whoa! I'm at 5:06 and the uncapping station is dripping honey off the station - into what? tell me you have a bucket down there!
Wow. That was an awesome video! Lovely to see the fruit of your stewardship of the bees. Job well done!
Of course there is a tub below the uncapper. There is no way I'm wasting any honey or wax. Thanks for your kind words Julie. God's peace always.
Mr. Ed
You guys are a hoot. What a bunch of characters.
I love the Honey Hut videos. Thanks for sharing!
The pleasure is all mine, thank you so much for following along. God's peace.
Mr. Ed
Love your videos ! I just made the same bee vacuum out of old supers I love it
You honor me with your words, thank you. The bee vac really works great, I could not tell you how may times I have used it with not one failure. Merry Christmas, and God's peace.
Mr. Ed
@@JeffHorchoff The feeling is mutual! Keep up the good work !!
i have just started watching your videos and you tickle me so much, your laugh is contagious and calming all at once. i cant sleep lately till i watch one of your videos... God bless!
Thank you so much for your blessing and very kind words Heather, they are greatly appreciated. I look forward to hearing from you again soon on more of my bee wrangling adventures. Don't forget, I post a new video every Friday. till the next time, God's peace.
Mr. Ed
Morning Jeff, what a sweet reward to wake up to. Just what I needed to jumpstart my long journey. I pray that this will not be my last trip to visit my mother. GB Kate
Hello Kate! How far a trip is this one, and know I will be praying for you and your mom. God's peace always.
Mr. Ed
Jeff Horchoff this time I've got to go nearly to the Canadian border. My older sister has her in a assisted living facility close to her and other family.its only 2 or 3 hundred miles from the ranch we grew up on. So moms brothers and sister come visit as often as they can. One way for me will be 1537 miles. Thank you for the prayers as I know they help. GB. Kate
Looks like a lot of clean up after the extraction. explains the price of honey a lot of work in honey. Thanks for the video
Actually, clean up is VERY easy. Because we have a troff/drain that runs down the center of our building, and exits under the slab in the back of the honey house, we simply wash all our machines down with hot water, we also have a tankless hot water heater just for that purpose. To clean the honey house and all the machines took 2 guys less than one hour to finish. You are correct about the price of our honey, $ 9.00 a pound is a very reasonable price considering all the work that is involved. By the way, I just posted this years edition of processing our honey, the link is below. So glad you enjoyed the video. Thanks for watching. God's peace Delmar. Mr. Ed
th-cam.com/video/jpwmbmBbcKs/w-d-xo.html
Love how the pink shirt works. Drinking coffee and pointing.
Thanks for share your wisdom. Greetings from the south America. South, south in Tucuman, Argentina.
It's my pleasure to share my bee wrangling experiences, I'm just delighted that you are following along. The fact that you are watching from Argentina is really cool. God's peace Jaume.
Mr. Ed
Thanks for the video.
I sure like the ending with all the bees around you.
Keep up the good work Mr. Edd
Thank you, that is my plan to keep making and posting bee topic video. Thanks for watching. God's peace.
Mr. Ed
Good Friday morning Mr. Ed. As much as I love my bees, this is the part I like the most. I don't have near the facility you have. But I still love cranking on that extractor and watching the honey fill up in the bottom. Thank you kind sir for all your knowledge and humor. God bless you Jeff.
First, thank you for your blessing, and second, I do love the processing of honey also. For me, there is always trepidation because I am using some equipment for the first time and I'm not sure if it will work properly, and second, I ALWAYS worry about not having enough honey to supply the abbey's gift with. Regardless of the amount I send over there, it always runs out in a very short time. This time I will send 1,200 bottles over there, and I hope that will last till October when I make the next harvest. We shall see, but I have the assurance, God will provide. Thank you for your kind words and for watching. God's peace.
Mr. Ed
Yes God will provide. Do remember He understands supply and demand very well - so if you have trouble keeping honey in the gift shop, do understand there is a reason! 1200 bottles! That is an awesome accomplishment for all involved!
Love this. The “Bee Brothers” work their magic once again with the girls!
What a day of laughs, sticky hands, feet, cloths, and hair. I can hardly wait to do it again at the end of October. Thanks for watching. God's peace.
Mr. Ed
Jeff, I am always humbled and grateful when I watch you care for these little marvels of God’s ingenuity. The very fact that you are constantly praying over them and thanking our Lord for the safe capture of the queen, and the joy you express with each video is such a force for good! Your various crews that help wrangle, help harvest and help prepare for the Abby gift shoppe is simply inspirational. How can we not love you all? Thank you for your expertise and for sharing it with us! God’s greatest blessings on you and your endeavors. Cindy Cox, Sun Valley Nv
OK Cindy, the checks in the mail. Thank you for your blessing and your so many kind words. The truth is, my joy comes from the aspect of giving, and in those actions, it attracts others of the same frame of mind. That is why you see so many happy folks in the videos I make and in the work we do. Then, it ripples out and folks like yourself step forward and I get to met them through the medium of video.Thank you so much for being a part of something so large, I'm happy to bee part of it also. God's peace.
Mr. Ed
Ooh - I'd be afraid to talk with so many bees in the air! It's neat that they are responsible for cleaning up, too!
The good news is there are very few bees in the honey house when we process the honey. Now, getting the honey from the bee boxes themselves is a different story. God's peace Sandra.
Mr. Ed
10:55 Wreck it Ralph almost wrecked it hahah. Great job Abbey Team!
You saw that, I think he must have hit something on the floor to make the dolly tip like that. Fortunately, he had great presence and made a good save. It was a really good day, we got a lot accomplished, and we had a bunch of fun doing it. Thanks for watching. God's peace.
Mr. Ed
Nice work to you and the crew! Thanks for sharing. HBM
The machines really make the job easier, and you will soon find out for yourself about that. God's peace brother.
Mr. Ed
Excellent as per usual. God is good! Thanks for the awesome video.
Sharing my passion is all joy for me, thank you so much for following along. God's peace brother.
Mr. Ed
Awesome set up Mr. Ed !!!!! Who's the lucky one that gets to clean all the machinery ? Love your videos , and always look forward to all your new posts. God Bless Mr. Ed. ...... Adrian
Thank you for your blessing Adrian, I deeply appreciate all of them. Clean up is very easy in the honey house. We simply wash everything down with hot water, and it drains into a troff running down the center of the building. God's peace.
Mr. Ed
These honey and wax processing are my favorite videos. I look forward to them every year. Please can we have a wax processing video soon 🙂
xiao-echo yes I'm with you :)
He's done one of those. Check his video history. "Rendering bees wax", Feb 4, 2017.
Robert Kenney can never have enough of those..just as the amount of honey varies, so does the amount of wax. It is all part of the processes and I happen to find it all fascinating. Have a great day!
Yeah, I know what you're talking about. You never know what Mr Ed comes up with each year, plus it's calming watching him. He's at peace, and so are the bees.
I might add, at the end of that "Rendering" video he promised us a second video showing how they use the wax(candles, etc?), which he hasn't done yet. So he owes us. (Like he owes us anything at all. :-D )
I plan on making a video on the rendering of the capping wax next week, and I will post it soon after that. Stay tuned. Thanks for watching. God's peace. Mr. Ed
Awesome Jeff, can't wait to see you at the abbey when I make it out that way. And if I help like in the video here, I'll have sticky fingers from tasting.
I hope to see you soon. There's always some bee business to attend to here, and I can always use help. God's peace brother.
Mr. Ed
Those frames look incredible Mr. Ed, totally packed! Hoping to get a few like that myself this season. I'm going to have to extract the old fashion way though.
Nothing finer than new comb on new frames filled with spring honey.....and it's pretty tasty too. I wish your harvest is as blessed as ours was. Thanks for watching. God's peace.
Mr. Ed
Im amazed at how even the bees were at filling with the honey. Those trays look so clean.
It is a beautiful sight to behold, that's why I showed it so often. Not only was it clean looking, it smelled wonderful. Thanks for watching. God's peace.
Mr. Ed
It's been wonderful watching your honey business grow :)
God has blessed us abundantly. Are you going to make our meeting this month, it this Thursday, I hope you can make it. Hope to see you then. God's peace Shelly.
Mr. Ed
The Lord has blessed you all. When I started watching your channel Jeff, you all had just gotten the spinner and if memory serves me right, you were bottling your own. Your goal was to have 100 hives...Have you met your goal yet? ~karen
I agree, God has blessed the Abbee Honey program. When i began keeping the bees for the monks back in 2012, I did not even have somewhere to store equipment or process honey, I can't say that anymore. The program really has taken off despite the flood in 2016 that wiped everything out. We are over 100 hives now, but I'd feel better if the number were closer to 200, we will just have to see what God has in mind for us. Thank you so much for your years of following along, I really appreciate it. God's peace Karen.
Mr. Ed
been to hot to mess with bees, 102 for 4 days then hits 106 like a month > we just now getting BLESSING RAIN, now i can pull honey again cheers bro thanks for another great video cheers bud
Hot here too, thank goodness the honey house has AC. God's peace brother.
Mr. Ed
Any place got AC stay there What i'am doing
I want to try some of your honey! I bet it tastes a million times better than the kind I'd buy at a grocery store.
Check back with me in June, we should have plenty by then. God's peace Alyssa.
Mr. Ed
Very nice Jeff!
Thank you Mike, I'm glad you enjoyed the video, and for taking the time to watch. God's peace.
Mr. Ed
God-bless you Mr.
Thank you very much for your blessing and for watching, they are greatly appreciated.. 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 Juan.
Mr. Ed
I love your videos. I just moved to Arizona, and I will be looking for bee keepers here just to see this stuff in person! AGAPÉ
I can see you becoming a bee keeper in Arizona, but you are going to have to deal with the Africanized bees that are there. Here in Louisiana, we do not have them. Let me know how your journey goes. Thanks for watching. God's peace Dwayne.
Mr. Ed
@@JeffHorchoff God has placed special people like you to be bee keepers! I'm a gospel musician and I'll stick to music! And leave the bees to y'all professionals. LOL I just want to taste the raw honey, straight from the hive! Looks delicious!
Enjoyed watching, very entertaining, thanks for sharing❤️
I'm delighted to hear you enjoyed the video. Processing honey is part of keeping bees, but most of my videos, as you will find out for yourself, are about bee rescues. I post these videos, to show just how important bees are to our very survival, and why we should not just kill them out of ignorance. I have been rescuing bees from being needlessly destroyed for over 6 years now, and hope to continue to do so for many more years to come. Thanks for watching, and I hope you will check out more of my bee wrangling/ bee rescues adventures and let me know what you think of them. By the way, I post a new video every Friday morning, and I look forward to hearing from you again soon. God's peace.
Mr. Ed
Very nice! Who wouldn’t like working in that environment of positive and up-beat attitudes?! I hope my countenance reflects that same degree of joy.
Thank you Jeff for producing these wonderful, uplifting videos. You would have us all believe that these are just wonderful, instructional videos on the joys of beekeeping. However, I see that these are each a piece of a larger work. The love of Jesus is present in each, and is evident in your warm smile and pleasant greeting at the introduction of each presentation. If each observer could be infused with even a small fraction of that, then your efforts are reaping a much larger and important harvest. Selfishly, I would ask you to please continue, and for the sake of all who watch and all who have yet to see these but someday will, I would also ask that you please continue.
You’re planting very good seeds indeed.
Warmest regards from the plains of Western Oklahoma,
Amen!
Ones behavior is but a manifestation of ones heart, and if that heart is centered on Christ, what a joy it is to behold. Yes, we all have bad days where our selfishness crowds out the goodness we seek, but we ask for forgiveness, and get back on the right path. I hope to continue making videos and sharing the passion I have for life and all of God's creation. God's peace always Mark.
Mr. Ed
Thank you GildaLee, and thanks for watching. God's peace.
Mr. Ed
Nice work. Great team. 😎🐝🐝🐝
We are just a couple of guys who love bees and like working with each other. We really had a fun day processing the honey. Thanks for watching. God's peace.
Mr. Ed
Awesome job, Mr Ed! I sure do miss that beeeeeeeautiful area.
(No pun intended)
((Ok, maybe a little intended))
Thanks, but I could not do it without the help of some really great folks. I will agree with you, the grounds here at the abbey are beeeeeeautiful. God's peace Matt.
Mr. Ed
Ahh. The Church has gone from fishing to bee keeping, Good transition.. At least you known when you are getting stung on the spot.
The Church continues to fish, and will right up to the end, but saving bees is a good thing as well. God's peace Spaaggetii Man.
Mr. Ed
Some of the churches always had bees because of the wax for the candles.
I believe it was in England where each farmer back then was required to have at least 3 hives for the wax.
140 gallons of honey ?! When I consider how hard the bees must work to produce just 1 drop of honey, the mind boggles.
BTW, Beautiful facility !
A bee can produce 1/10 of a teaspoon of honey in it's lifetime. That means 140 gallons of honey represents the work of over 1 million bees to produce that quantity. Now that's an impressive number. God's peace Kevin.
Mr. Ed
Very nice Operation Jeff!
Thumbs up for quality frames (no dark ones), extraction and clean extraction environment!
Thank you for your kind words and support of our program here at the abbey. The real proof of the quality of our honey here is by tasting it, simply delicious. 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. God's peace.
Mr. Ed
If you use frames for honey supers only, they do not get dark or brown.
Only brood frames will get dark, the more brood is reared in them the darker the cell gets.
Its aaaaalll hunneh. Yessir! Ralf for President!
I second the nomination. All in favor say yes! Thanks for watching. God's peace.
Mr. Ed
Wow... very cool to see this scale of operation. As a kid, I helped my mom with her hive... but we only had a 2 frame extractor and hot knife... a lot of work. I hope to keep bees again soon myself! edit: Wow! that honey moves pretty fast through that tube with that pump!
Me and my sister LOVE watching your video's!! We love honey, and we love watching the way the bees work! 🐝Your videos are so FUN!! We always always look forward to them!! 👴🐝
Thank you so much for your many kind words, and you devotion to watching my bee wrangling adventures. Please pass along my thanks to your sister as well. God's peace.
Mr. Ed
Praise the Lord, really enjoyed your video.
I'm standing right next to you giving praise! Thanks for watching. God's peace Steve.
Mr. Ed
I wish I could buy honey straight out of the spinning machine!
Chewy honey like I had as a kid, 50 years ago. I miss eating the wax with the honey.
Kevin Tucker wow so you can eat the wax? So basically you can eat the honey right off the comb wherever you get it huh?
@@TechyRodsWire Yes its safe for human consumption. I used to do it as a child as well.
I do it when I can afford it, but honeycomb is expensive. Lol. It’s like $15 for a two bite chunk.
@Alex G I was living up in Maine at the time. It was local bee keepers that sold to a farm that operated their own business. So, pretty sure it was sold to the farm, then the farm increased the price to make a profit.
Why is Ralph so silly? I like him
Everybody loves Wreck it Ralph. God's peace.
Mr. Ed
Happy Birthday Pat and Happy New Year 2019🎂🍰🌹
Happy New Year to you as well, and I will pass along the belated BD wishes. God's peace.
Mr. Ed
Great work. A little job envy on that...but, then I remember the skills needed for handling bees, and it is like ok I'll just be a consumer. :)
If you are ever in the New Orleans area at the end of June or October, get in touch with me and I'd bee more than happy to let you share in the joy of harvesting honey. No skills necessary, I'll teach you. Thanks for watching. God's peace.

You are an awesome man sir! Blessed in many ways and a blessing to all around you!
Ralph's a barrel of laughs isn't he.
Don't let his demeanor fool you, the guy's a regular Rodney Dangerfield. God's peace.
Mr. Ed
What are the lower walls covered with? Finishing up my honey house and tossing ideas around. Pressure washing walls and floors is a nice option for cleanup
They are 4x8 sheets of food grade "plastic" like material. Water proof and easy clean up as well. They are attached to the sheetrock using an epoxy glue. Still, use care when hosing the building, even though it's green sheet rock, try not to get it wet. Best wishes with your project, let me know when it's finished. God's peace.

His place is super clean, just want to get some honey there.
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:

Jeff Horchoff absolutely
Another great video I love watching your Videos as I want to have my own hands but I am allergic to bees But I would love to have fresh honey of my own
So glad you enjoyed the video, and I'm sorry to hear of your allergic reaction to bees. Not everyone is meant to be a bee keeper, but still you can appreciate the importance of bees and the role they play in our very survival as pollinators. Plus, they make honey. 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. God's peace.

God bless you guys. Just ordered my first extractor the other day. Not as cool of system as yours☹️ maybe someday.
Thank you for your blessing, I appreciate it very much. Getting new equipment is really cool, it makes the job so much easier. I hope it works well for you. Thanks for watching. God's peace.
Mr. Ed
Love Ralph’s Thibodeaux accent!
Wow that’s awesome! I’m new this year and my hives still aren’t even ready for their second brood box yet
I feel your pain. I know very well the frustration/disappointment you feel because your bees are not where you'd like them to be as far as their development. May I offer a suggestion, don't lose hope. Even if these bees don't amount to much, you will soon enough come across ones that will meet all your expectations. Keeping bees is a real roller coaster ride when it comes to successes and disappointments. Hang tough and keep at it. Thanks for watching. God's peace.
Mr. Ed
What a great process!
It works very well when you have a bunch of friends helping. Ralph, Randy, and I have been harvesting honey together for at least 4 years now, we really work well together. Thanks for watching. God's peace.

Wreck it Ralph is the McGyver of the honey harvest
We have the same Dakota gunness uncapper with a table at the end and it doesn't stop till we fill three 96 frame extractors and then do it again ... we run about 550 hives though ...
I'll never get to 550, nor do I want to, way to much work for me, but I sure so love those girls. I know the uncapper can keep up with the load you put on it, the machine is incredible. Where are you guys located? Thanks for watching. God's peace Richard.
Mr. Ed
@@JeffHorchoff its definitely a workout lol . We are in ft pierce Florida
To be able to see how your honey is made from catching the bees to actually extracting the honey. When does this batch of honey go on sale at the Abbey. I cannot make it to Louisiana to buy the honey but there must be some way to buy it online and I am very much looking forward to buying and paying for shipping. I really want to have YOUR honey. St. Joseph has some special meanings to me. I was born at St. Joseph hospital. My first child was born at St. Joseph Hospital. Our last name is Joseph. So you see why YOUR honey is special. I am awaiting the day when I can taste this lovely God made honey from the Abbey bees. Thank you Mr. Ed. God bless you for doing this work.
Thank you for your blessing JJ. The honey goes on sale at the abbey gift shop this Saturday, July 14th. Contact me through my abbey email at jhorchoff@sjasc.edu and I will see what we can arrange. God's peace.
Mr. Ed
Thank you so much Jeff. You are the best. Now I do not want any other honey than yours. Ha Ha. I will contact you.
I bet that love filled bayou honey is some of the best in this world!!!
