St. Joseph Abbey
What a super large colony this one was, and such beautiful comb as well. But as large as it was, after about 5 plus hours, it was out of the ceiling and all the bees in the bee vac. A great day spent saving bees and meeting a great family. Until the next one, God's peace everyone.
Mr.Ed
Thank you so much Jeff and Charlie for finally getting all these bees out of our house! We had a great time watching y'all work (and tasting the honey!) and learned a lot - by far the coolest experience that I hope we never have to do again. 😅 And I love that we get to relive the experience and have it immortalized on TH-cam! Thanks again. - Kelly and Glenda
We had a lot of fun as well, and I'm happy to report the bees are doing very well in their new home at the abbey. Thank you again for making this video happen. God's peace Glenda.
Mr. Ed
Impressive hive and alot of bees! I'm glad you could help them with removing them. I'd want to keep them!! Lol
@@Lanedl1 Thank you for the suggestion! We'll look into it.
Wow they been there for a little bit .
This has become my favorite channel! Subscribed for sure!
I love how y’all narrated the steps of this removal. That was such a beautiful hive! Also a beautiful lake property. Blessings! ❤
Fun fact the lake is 188.16 acres! Jeff I love your channel & Charlie's camera work. Your smile is infectious and I catch myself grinning even when I am down. Thank you for all that you guys share and for all that you teach. I've learned so much watching you. Always wanted to be an Apiast but health problems starting in my 30's till now at age 56 and have gotten in my way. I can vicariously enjoy it by watching you & all your friends! Gods Blessings 🧡🫶🐝🐝🐝
I'll always bee here for your viewing pleasure. Thank you so much for your blessings and for all the time you spend watching my bee wrangling adventures. Until the next time, God's peace Debbie.
Mr. Ed
I really enjoy watching you, Good time Charlie and your good friends helping all the honey bees. 🍯
I tell my Husband, please don't bother me about anything until after Mr. Ed and crew are done saving the Bee's....😂
Thank you for teaching and sharing.
Wishing you all positivity, good vibes and blessings from the Good Lord Above!
From Northern Indiana 🐝💛
Jeff, that queen, I saw her leave in a swarm last Autumn. So that’s where she went. Sorry she have you so much trouble! Please can you send her back!! 🫢😜🤣🤣🤣
Great video. You explained that so well and you’ve educated at the same time brother!! 😎👍🐝🐝🐝💪🏻🙌
You mean she flew across the Atlantic? WOW, that is one incredible queen! Sorry, she won't be sent back, possession is 9 tenths of the law and she now belongs to the monks. God's peace brother.
Mr. Ed
@@JeffHorchoff 🤣🤣🤣
Wow that was a lot of bees. Beautiful hive, you don’t take down a hive very often without your bee suit the whole time! I’m sure your arms were very tired afterwards :). Thanks for taking us along with you and Charlie, I always look forward to Fridays when you post :)
Great job you guys did That sound would have drove my cats wild. Thank you so much for helping there. God bless you both.
Thank you so much for your blessings, support, and for taking the time to follow along with our bee wrangling adventures. Until the next time, God's peace Dyana.
Mr. Ed
Thank you so much for showing the knife and your nice comments. Cant wait to send you the new knife we designed for this application. Have an amazingly blessed day.
I can hardly wait to get the prototype version, I'm going to use it right away. Thank you so much for your blessings and helping me along the way. God's peace brother.
Mr. Ed
You have it backwards Jeff. The 50,000 bees had a woman living in their hive. You should have removed the woman.
I bee lieve you are correct, love your comment. Thanks for watching. God's peace.
Mr. Ed
Wow I was fascinated watching this; sooo many bees recovered and finding the queen at the very end was simply amazing!!
Delighted to hear you enjoyed watching the video, bees are simply fascinating.I post these videos, to show just how important bees are to our very survival, and why we should not just kill them out of ignorance. I have been rescuing bees from being needlessly destroyed for over 8 years now, and hope to continue to do so for many more years to come. Thanks for watching, and I hope you will check out more of my bee wrangling/ bee rescues adventures and let me know what you think of them. By the way, I post a new video every Friday morning, and I look forward to hearing from you again soon. God's peace.
Mr. Ed
Love watching the videos. It’s so interesting. I LOVE bees but I’m severely allergic to stings. 😒thank you for saving the bees. 😊
I hope Charlie gets some rest. That removal was like work!
He got his rest on the way home, I let him nap the entire way. Thanks for watching. God's peace.
Mr. Ed
Y'all need to talk with the outfit that makes that hot knife.
Have them fabricate one for you where the handle comes off the hot plate at about a 75degree angle/bend.
The current "inline" design, I assume, is for stripping wax off of foundation where you have all the room in the world and want to be able to push the plate along.
You need something more surgical for the confined spaces (essentially open boxes) you work in.
Maybe even adjust the dimensions of the hot plate "foot"?
Putting a bend on the handle arm ought to be simple for the manufacturer. And as a spokesman for them, they ought to oblige?
They are currently working on a new design for me right now, and I should have the prototype knife in a few weeks. I'm very excited to be the one to field test the product. Stay tuned for that video. Thanks for watching. God's peace Barbe.
Mr. Ed
You sure got your moneys worth on that one but it was sure a long haul too. AND yao had a semi-captive audience! Jesus weekend to ALL yall and Thanks from the hilly swamp
Woo! Another awesome video from Mr. Ed .
Thankyou for another informative video.
Jeff QUESTION, his do u take all those stings and not get sick or swell up? I get a sting and it's hospital time , lol
I assure you, I have no special ability to withstand bee stings. As a matter of fact, I hate getting stung which is why I mostly wear a bee jacket. However, due to the restrictions a jacket has, poor visibility and over heating, I remove it whenever possible. Also, I would not recommend that others do as I do. Thanks for watching. God's peace Betty.
Mr. Ed
I like the play by play. Sure was a cliff hanger on this one. Thanks guys!
Very glad to hear you enjoyed the voice over, I will be doing more of them in the future. Thank you for watching. God's peace Skip.
Mr. Ed
Those are some nice girls those bees are beautiful mr ed so careful with those bees good time Charlie I agree fishing sounds better lol😂God bless and wrangling on brother
I always wondered if you could use Ralph's multi-tool to cut the comb.
I never considered using it, but I'm sure it would work. Still, if I'm going to use electricity to remove comb, I'll use the heated knife, the honey mess will not effect the electrical elements. Great suggestion, and thanks for watching. God's peace brother.
Mr. Ed
Thank you Mr. Ed for your compassionate care and Charlie bear for being the fearless cameraman. I believe God watches over those who watch over his. And you service both the human and the bee communities so you're likely to be doubly blessed, but I have so many questions.
How do you identify drones from the working brood if they're all crawling over the comb. I did do.some.research since our last exchange and learned how to gender bees.
Also what is an uncapped brood? Is that like when there's an egg lain in the cell but not covered with wax? That's the only kind of capping I could think of.
Thank you Christin, we do love sharing our bee wrangling experiences and are very grateful that you take the time to watch them. To answer your questions:
Drone brood is distinguished by the way they pultrude from the face of the comb, about 1/8 th of an inch.
Uncapped brood is the larva that is not old enough and still is being fed by the bees. Once the feeding stops, the cell is capped and remains so until the fully developed bee emerges.
Again, thanks for watching, and until the next time, God's peace.
Mr. Ed
Did Charlie negotiate to return for a fishing trip before leaving? Bee utiful lake.
He did procure an invite....and got me included as well. Thanks for watching. God's peace Mark.
Mr. Ed
Why is the comb soft? Is it cause of the pollen they get around that area or is it the moister from the humidity Jeff?
The reason it is soft is because it is very new and has not had time enough to harden up. It hardens up by having things stored inside of the cell. The more the cell is used, the harder the entire structure becomes. Thanks for watching. God's peace Hayden.
Mr. Ed
Your hue and glow are incredible ❤
Much love
How do you stop bees coming back? They only need a small hole to get in and build a hive.
The best way to prevent a re infestation of bees is to seal up any possible entrances, and fill the voids with insulation. This is the BEST way to stop the bees from returning. 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 Judy.
Mr. Ed
Oh wow, what a beautiful area. No wonder the bees are close to the water.😂 you have a great day lots of bees for you to harvest!👍
A very scenic and beautiful area for sure, and it's easy to understand why the bees liked the location as well...the view of the lake. 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 Beverly.
Mr. Ed
Thank you to all the bee keepers !!! xoxoxoxo
I'm glad to see you're still at it and I'm still around too :)
Man it's been a long time since I have heard from you! Thanks so much for checking back in, you have been missed. God's peace brother.
Mr. Ed
What a hive! How many times to you typically get stung while doing a removal.
There in really not a "typical"stings taken while doing a removal, but 4 or 5 is an average. On this removal it was about 7 or 8. Thanks for watching. God's peace Ralph.
Mr. Ed
at 7:24 like i mentioned before, you need a knife with a 90 degree angle at the end, if i would live anywhere within 300 miles of you, i would make one and hand deliver it, maybe one of the other subs knows how to forge a knife like that for you. but i live in europe, bit to far to just hop over
EDIT at 25:07 Might be even better to have a hotknife on an angle .....
Agreed, a bit to far, but thank you so much for intentions. I will tell you this, that very soon, I will be receiving a prototype knife with a new design. The manufacturer is making one especially for my needs. Stay tuned for the newer version. Thanks for watching. God's peace.
Mr. Ed
@@JeffHorchoff i love it that you get a prototype knife, lets see if it matches the design i have in my head. keep filming, i'll keep watching.
Jeff I just noticed that you have a twin lump to mine on your left wrist! You can catch some honey today Charlie. I can't have honey for now until? d/t liver disease...no sugars of any kind. I been out for a while, so that's good. I love me some honey! That's a ton of bees...wow! Great removal! What a lot of bees. That family was so awesome too. Good job hanging in there Charlie! I just want one thing, my best friend all my life is very ill with liver failure and cancer that has spread throughout her body. She may not have long left on this earthly plane, but she's saved and going to Heaven where I will see her again. Can you pray for Martha please Jeff and anyone else who has the inclination to. I really appreciate it. I know she is suffering a great deal. I too have recently been diagnosed with liver disease and living with long term chronic severe pain...neither she nor I are afraid. Just don't want excessive pain and suffering for her dear self. TY and God bless.
So very sorry to hear of you and your friends suffering. Know for sure, I will add both of your names to my prayer list. Thank you for your blessings and for all the time you spend watching my bee wrangling adventures. God's peace Loren.
Mr. Ed
@@JeffHorchoff I do watch a lot! It brings light and joy to my life. TY Mr. Ed!
Wow, what a haul :)
It certainly was, and what great bees these girls are. They are going to make a wonderful addition to our bees here at the abbey. 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.

you caught the bees but did you catch any fish???
Not yet, but we are going back to do that later. 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 Dana.
Mr. Ed
Love you guys. Keep doing your best. And God bless you all.
Great audience for a watch party!!!
wow that was a big bee wrangle, but you both did good, and persevered. Awesome as always! be safe. take care. have fun. it is what life is about.
This was another great video,You had a lot of good support doing this job God bless
That was a whole lot of fresh comb, those bees had been working their tails off.
Does the vacuum heard the bees are make it easier to transport them
Because the bee vac is specially designed not to harm bees due to it's low suction, it is one of the best tools I have when I rescue bees. There are many advantages in using a bee vac, one being like you suggest, ease of transport, but also it speeds up the process of removing the bees by confining them all in one spot. I post these videos, to show just how important bees are to our very survival, and why we should not just kill them out of ignorance. I have been rescuing bees from being needlessly destroyed for over 8 years now, and hope to continue to do so for many more years to come. Thanks for watching, and I hope you will check out more of my bee wrangling/ bee rescues adventures and let me know what you think of them.

Mr. Ed
How pretty, keep making the videos Ive watched nearly all of them, HELLO from Northeast PA
I certainly will keep making them as long as good folks like yourself take the time to watch them. Don't forget, I post a brand new video every Friday morning. Thanks for watching. God's peace brother.

Mr. Ed you need to get a cake decorating spatula
Great idea, thanks for sharing it and for watching. Until the next one, God's peace Lueann.
Mr. Ed
Another great vid guys. After 2 days I'm addicted and can't stop watching your vids. Keep up the great work and helping bees and people alike.
What a great compliment Paul, thank you for getting hooked and for watching, I truly appreciate the support. And remember, I post a new video every Friday. Until the next one, God's peace brother.
Mr. Ed
What happened to the lights? Did the power go out to where you were doing that removal in the dark??? Dang boys, that was a LOT of bees and a really tight space to work in! A blessing you found the queen. I was afraid she'd run down into all the cracks and crevices between the bricks. Well done!
As we wanted the bees to all go to the sliding glass doors near where we were working, all the other lights in the house were turned off. It kept the bees from flying everywhere in the house. A lot of bees for sure, and a real blessing the queen decided to stay on the comb. Thanks for watching. God's peace Carole.
Mr. Ed
Love seeing you wangl bee's and learn from you. Have you ever came across hostel hot hive bee/s or aficnized bees?
The first video link below is about a very hot hive we removed back in October. As you will see for yourself, not happy bees at all. However, if you also check out the second link, you will see a drastic difference in the same hive just a few weeks later. And finally, if you check out the third link, you will see all the honey we got from this hive. Let me know what you think. Thanks for watching. God's peace Estee.

I decided to subscribe and boy I’m glad I did. My husband and I are retired Nurse and Pharmacist. His Grandfather did bees and we decided we would like to also help raise bees. We only know what little we remember from his Grandfather so we probably could use help. We have 2 hives in our yard off Robinson Road and a hive in our son’s yard in Covington. We missed catching a swarm to keep
We weren’t prepared for them to swarm as soon as they did. You are a wealth of information.
Great to hear you guys decided to pick up the baton and become beekeepers like your husbands grandfather, congratulations. I always say the world needs as many beekeepers as it can get. If you'd like to visit me here at the abbey and see our operation, get in touch and we can try to arrange it. My email address is oscelata@gmail.com Thank you for subbing and for watching.

Hi Mr. Ed,
Looks like you will be adding some "Mississippi Magic" to the Abbey.😂
I have a few over here already, but there's always room for more. 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 Johnny.
Mr. Ed
You should have had Charlie vacuuming bees while you cut comb, put the camera on a stand...it would have saved you time. Thanks for the share!
No doubt it would have saved time, but Charlie loves videoing, not removing a hive. Our rule is, Charlie videos and I remove the hive, it's a system that has been working for at least 4 years now. When Reck it Ralph is with us that is how we work, Ralph frames, I cut out, and Charlie videos. Thanks for watching. God's peace Colleen.
Mr. Ed
UM. Where can we get a Mr. Ed bee shirt???
I am asked that question often, but unfortunately, I do not market any products. I simply don't have the time to devote to that project. I guess you will just have to continue watching my videos to show your support. Thanks for watching. God's peace Vic.
Mr. Ed
That hot knife saves your shoulders, Jeff! It also seals the top cut of the wax. Nice job. Huge hive!
I do love using the hot knife, that thing is a great tool. Thanks for watching. God's peace Mary.
Mr. Ed
From now on you have to bring a sandwich for Charlie so he can eat a snack while he supervises you while you Bee wrangle...Happy supervisor, happy life. 🙂
Great idea, you have to keep the troops happy when they are in the field. Thanks for watching. God's peace Brad.
Mr. Ed
These video's are really interesting to me. My Dad took care of bees for a couple of years many years ago, when I was 13 - 15. It was fun and interesting then too. My question is, what can people put in the newly emptied space to prevent another swarm of bees moving into there?
The best thing to put in the space is insulation, it matters not the exact type, but whichever one is used, the space needs to be filled ENTIRELY! Also, any crack or opening on the exterior of the structure needs to be closed off as well using calk or other hard drying material. This will deter bees from ever finding the space inside the structure. 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 Alan.

These videos are no fun to watch anymore... When I first started watching, we heard the sounds of nature, the sounds of the bees and the bee vac... You talked to us and shared while you worked, it all made us feel like we were with you. Today, I might as well be watching some movie with all the music and theatrical background stuff... Really sad...
Needless to say, your comment brings sorrow to me. I have always strived to be inclusive to the audience in sharing my bee wrangling experiences as so many who follow my channel don't or can not keep bees for themselves, and many others that follow my channel keep bees and share the ups and downs of doing that. I do my best in teaching, and entertaining, my followers as bee keeping should be above all fun for us all, and to that end, I do add drama to the videos. I too find it very sad that you and I do not share the same sentiments, but we are each, and rightly so, entitled to our own opinions God's peace Christy.

Good thing you got the call to remove that hive. The Dirt Rooster would have never got his plump little hands up in there 😂. That was a brutal removal. It even wore me out just watching it. Thanks for sharing Mr. Ed
Is this swarm going to restock the Layens hive where the queen absconded? I am so interested in that style of hive. I can't handle a heavy super at my age (sneaking up on 70 and I'm like 5 foot nothing) so a waist high hive with only one frame at a time to lift would be so nice.
This hive will not, though it is a very good candidate. I already have the hive picked out for the Layens hive and it is MUCH larger than this one. I hope to remove that one next week. Stay tuned for that adventure. Thanks for watching. God's peace Karla.
Mr. Ed
That was a good size cut out. At least they have a safer home now. Had some folks contact me yesterday about some bees that's been in their home since august. FLIR has a pretty good size pattern on it as well. It will be fun.
I wanna eat that honey comb
I can't fault you for that, I do it every time. I do love eating fresh honey from the comb. 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 Jeremy.
Mr. Ed
Hey Jeff. How do you keep the bee-vac from getting clogged with honey covered , sticky bees?
The best way not to get the vac clogged is not vacuum bees that have honey on them. However, when it does happen, I pull the end of the hose out of the bee vac and place the other end on the exhaust of the vacuum head. That blows any bees that are lodged in the hose right out. Thanks for watching. God's peace James.
Mr. Ed
Thanks Jeff. This is Steve the full time traveler that helped you one day last summer.
Hey Jeff if you can't get'em through the brick where do you go ? This for people that don't know better !
Through the interior of the building, that's the only other option. God's peace Jay.
Mr. Ed
Would it have been possible to get the hot knife up in and cut the wax towards you vs away or would the cord get in the way?
Having the chord on the knife presents problems, but well worth them because the knife works so well. Thanks for watching. God's peace Joseph.
Mr. Ed
I hate doing overhead cutouts. I have a bad rotator cuff and it gets painful after a while.
I've had rotator cuff surgery on both my right and left shoulder so I know exactly what you are saying, but still what's worse about overhead removals is taking a honey shower as you remove the comb. Thanks for watching. God's peace James.
Mr. Ed
Please tell me good time charlie ate something during those 5 hours !!!! LOL
He did, the homeowners sprung for pizza. Thanks for watching. God's peace.
Mr. Ed
Why does the hive have such a large drone population? It would seem that they would be a drain on resources that they aren't contributing to.
The reason for the large drone population is the hive is making preparations to swarm. Drone production is one of the first signs that the hive is gearing up to produce swarm cells. And yes, as drones do nothing for the contributions of hive growth, they are a drain on the resources. However, as they are necessary for mating with a queen, they are necessary, but once that need is fulfilled, they are no longer needed and kicked out. 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 Dan.
Mr. Ed
you need to have a Hot Knife made wwith a 90 degree angle and a long shaft. That would be good for the tight spots first starting out and comb closer and right above your head
The manufacturer of the knife is working on a new design for me right now and I should have the prototype in my hands soon. I can hardly wait to see the improvements. Thanks for watching. God's peace Drew.
Mr. Ed
@29:30-29:45 "Thank You, Jesus!" Man oh Man! You'd been talking about a lot of Drones! But also, a lot of Brood?
Mr. Ed, if a Queen dies, then a Worker starts laying (diploid/haploid?) Drones, Males, to continue the colony's genes.
If there's lots of Brood, it means the Queen is laying eggs, doing her Queening job, and All Is Right In The Hive.
Mr. Ed, do Queens produce Drones, Males? Aren't Drones an indicator of a failing Hive?
Thank you from rural South Jersey!
Yes, queen produce males and she makes them every year. Generally, it is in the early spring in preparation for mating when virgin queens are newly made. The presences of only drones and no worker brood is an indication of a failing hive as it means there is a laying worker in the hive and no queen. Thanks for watching. God's peace.
Mr. Ed
@@JeffHorchoff Dear Sir, @JeffHorchoff, Thank you for explaining!
It would be nice to have a Hot Knife made that's bent at a 90 degrees...
That it would be, but I was told the manufacturer was making one especially for me and using it for that application.

I've seen you give honeycomb you squeezed back to the bees. Do they eat it or harvest it for reuse?
When I give it back to the bees they generally will store it. However, the will eat it as well. Thanks for watching. God's peace.

that honeycomb looks good. did you leave some of the honeycomb for the homeowner to enjoy?

Mr. Ed
I've a question, do bees stay with their own hive, or do they sometimes 'hive hop'?
For the most part, where the female bees are born, that's where they will live their entire life....all 6 weeks of it. However, the drone bee, the males, they will go from hive to hive, and are alway welcomed except in the fall. Then, where ever they are, the females kick them out of the hive to starve. It's only the female bees that goes through the winter because they do all the work and the males do nothing but eat the stores of food.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.

Another amazing video y'all. Great work. I happened to have a thought. I love your videos and how you're gentle and professional with removals and don't seem to use any smoke.
My thoughts though? Have you ever tried using a large red spotlight? One that bright enough. But won't fog photo paper too much. That may seem odd, a light that doesn't fog photo paper too much? How woukd that correlate? Much like photo paper, bee don't have much sensitivity to the infrared or near infrared end of the light spectrum. So if it doesn't fog photo paper much, it shoukd be barely visible to the bees. It light help get that queen sooner, rather than her scampering off or possibly down in a crevice somewhere that isn't reachable.
Or perhaps one of those head lamps with the red light used for night time while out camping or whatnot.
It couldbbe a bust that doesn't work. But if you know anyone chat does analog photography and has some old black and white paper laying around, it might be worth it to get a couple spotlight or fog light bulbs that are red, try them out to test how much light that's outside the red spectrum is actually being emitted, and then give it a try to see if it works better than one of those blue-ish (ultraviolet heavy) LED lights.
I may have no effect. Or might prove to be a worth while experiment.
I have seen several video on bee wranglers wrangling bees at night using red lights, and it does not disturb the bees like a white light does. However, a red light would not give me enough light to see clearly what I'm looking at so for that reason I use a regular flash light. Thanks for watching and for your suggestion, it is greatly appreciated. God's peace Ivan.

@@JeffHorchoff thank you for your reply. Yes, I kinda of figured. My eyes are not as good as they were 5 years ago. So I understand. Again, thank you for your reply. God bless and keep you and Charlie.
Excellent video !!! I did a cut out Monday and the bees had just swarmed in to this ladies attic late Saturday ..I was able to cut the Sheetrock on the ceiling and remove all the bees ..only a small amount of comb had been built … I put them in a deep hive box and they left me early on Wednesday morning .. man I was bad upset ..lol..but maybe next spring they might swarm again and I will get a chance to catch them in my swarm trap !! Thanks again for such wonderful videos Mr Ed !!!!
That is awesome you'r rescuing bees, I love hearing stories of other wranglers doing the same thing. Though it is no guarantee, leaving the queen caged for 3 days in the new location with the rest of the bees, pretty much ensures the bees staying after the hard work of removing them. Thanks for watching. God's peace Lynn.
Mr. Ed
Are you ever worried about the bees will get to hot in the vaccum
I worry about that all the time which is why I open the box as soon as possible. As long as the outside temps don't get in the 80's there is never a problem.Still, I open the vac box as soon as possible to release any heat. Thanks for watching. God's peace Sheri.
Mr. Ed
Why are you killing them???? Wouldn't it be better to get a donor box and place them somewhere ???
The bees were NOT killed, they are removed and relocated to the abbey where I keep bees for the monks since 2010. Though I did not show it on this video, I often show the release of the bees and the queen back onto their own comb that I removed. 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 13 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
Thank you for telling me this, an yes it was the first time watching your video. Great job saving the bees
How do you come by the 50,000 figure?
Charlie counted every one of them, but I think he missed two or three. No, it's just a guess from the weight of the bee vac. Three pounds of bees is about 10 -12 thousand bees or so I'm told. God's peace brother.
Mr. Ed
The rain and all the bees being cooped up in the hive was probably the reason why they were being so hot right?
It certainly contributed to their behavior, but it all worked out for the bees and the homeowner. 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.

Mr. Ed
All that separates Louisiana and Mississippi is a 628 DIRT ROSTER
Hard work but you done it, will they go in your long hive box
No, I have another removal coming up for the Layens hive. Stay tuned for that adventure. Thanks for watching. God's peace Mark.
Mr. Ed
Mr. Ed. Can you show us when you collect the screens for honey collection. FYI. Your channel makes me so happy. Thank You Jesus !
Sorry Jolene, I do not understand your question. Very happy to hear you enjoy watching my be wrangling adventures, thank you so much for doing so. Until the next one, God's peace.
Mr. Ed
How many hives do you have now at the Abbey??
I do not know the exact number as we are growing all the time, but it is somewhere in the neighborhood of 170. Thanks for watching. God's peace Lindsay.
Mr. Ed
Let us see those 🐝 🐝 🐝 🐝 🐝 🐝 🐝.
I hope to make a follow up video on these girls, stay tuned. Thanks for watching. God's peace John.
Mr. Ed
Do they pay you to take the bee's out of there house ?????
They do not pay me, but I do ask for a donation for the Abbee Honey Program here at the abbey. Thanks for watching. God's peace.
Mr. Ed
Jeff you always have great music and great entertainment.❤❤❤❤
Eat the comb fella dont waste it 🇬🇧
It was not wasted, it was given to the homeowner and the bees got the rest when I framed up the comb.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 David.
Mr. Ed
where did you buy the bee vac I cant fine one like it
I made it myself, and the video link is below. The battery bee vac is called the Everything Bee Vac and you can find that one at allmybees.com 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.

That is a lot of bees right there. How far apart do you think the combs were spaced center to center?
Funny you should ask that question. By chance, I happened to have my micrometer with me and I measured. The average distance was 1.73689 to 1.91369 from center to center except on the end pieces. They were .47892 on one end and .39876 on the other end. Actually, I have no idea as Charlie forgot to bring the mic. God's peace brother.
Mr. Ed
What happened to the electric heated knife you used awhile back? Never mind you’re using it now!
That knife is AWESOME! God's peace Larry.
Mr. Ed
Hi there, great job! I was wondering though, when you put the comb on the table don't the bees on the other side get squished?
No they do not, because bees have an exoskeleton, the weight does not crush them. 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
@@JeffHorchoff Thanks for replying! I just subscribed, so I will be watching 👍🏼
Do you change to remove bees 🐝?
It depends on the situation. I will say this, for years I never charged, but I incur costs to remove bees and it is only fair to at least cover those, but even still there are removals that I do for free. 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 Consuella.
Mr. Ed
Charlies watch only runs for 2 hours and stops. LOL
Did this one make it into the Layens?
It did not, I have another one in mind for it. Thanks for watching. God's peace Kennith.
Mr. Ed
I liked this style of video.
Very happy to hear that, I will be doing more voice over videos in the future. Thank you so much for your opinion and for watching. God's peace Jay.
