I can hardly believe that this video marks my 400th that I have posted on TH-cam, and when I stop to think about it, that's a lot of videos. I have to say though, it certainly does not seem like that's the number, but being faithful to my promise of "I'll be making more," I guess I would have reached that number one day. Thank you all so much for inspiring me to continue making videos by the simple fact of you watching them.
On this video Good Time Charlie and Wreck it Ralph will once again lend their expertise and guidance on removing a colony of bees from a raised house that is slated for renovation. As you will see, one of the main reasons this house was being worked on was the extensive amount of termite damage throughout it.
What might seem a bit "let downish" is how quickly the queen was captured on this one, almost immediately. However, since she was caught so quickly, that made our job so much more easy, and I do love easy.
Now don't think the video is over just because we say so, there's lots more after. I decided to go ahead and show the release of these bees once I returned to the abbey, so make sure you stick around to see that as well.
Once again, thank you so much for being such great viewers and watching all these crazy bee wrangling adventure videos that I love to make and share. God's peace to all.
Mr. Ed
Wow you really sold it! “Straight forward, easy, not that impressive” I couldn’t have said it better myself. You tossing me softballs here.
He can't help it and Ralph is getting plumb Roosterish with no zoot suit!
I think he flashed that silver button in her eyes and it blinded her long enough to grab her. Otherwise, he may never have seen her.
@@YappyBeeman He keeps the real one at home but made another to take with him. Especially on jobs like this.
Of course had you said it, it would have been accompanied by 4 minutes of B role which would have made the topic so much more interesting. God's peace brother.
Mr. Ed
@@JeffHorchoff I shot some B role at a yard sale for you this morning. It's primo grade A stuff. Got an old lady in sagging stockings and a mustard yellow muu muu digging through a rusty pile of garden tools. I'll take $15 for the three minute reel.
The roaches are going to miss their neighbor - Honey bees.
They stayed near the bees for their warm hive.
God bless you, Mr Ed.
I think the roaches are going to miss the free lunch's the bee provided most of all. The bees for their part are delighted to be moving to a new neighborhood without those nasty neighbors. Thank you for your blessing and for watching. God's peace.
Mr. Ed
Hi Jeff, wow queen caught real quickly and she’s a bigun you must have eyes like an eagle my friend, a shame no cone could be saved due to the hive beetles, good job done guys I hope the bees are going to be okay I know they will have the best chance with you Jeff up at the abbey. Thank you Jeff and friends and god bless the 3 amigos.
I had grave concern about the beetles in this hive, especially since the number of bees was so low and the number of beetles was so high. It was for that reason I did not place any of the comb into the nuc box, but rather gave them drawn comb to work with. Next week's video will be an update on these girls, stay tuned for that. Thank you for your blessings and for watching. God's peace Peter.
Mr. Ed
Another great bee wrangling video with Charlie and Ralph. All you needed was the Dirt Rooster and you would have had a party, lol. Congratulations on your 400th video!!! I'm a fairly new subscriber, but I think I've seen them all!!! Hope you all weathered the storms well. Take care, stay safe, God bless. 🐝 🐝 🐝
The Rooster and I are trying to do another video together, the timing is always the issue. We were untouched by Laura in my part of Louisiana. However, the entire western portion of Louisiana is in serious trouble. Please pray for these unfortunate folks as many will have their lives changed forever, but most will endure much suffering in the upcoming weeks and months during the recovery. Thank you for your blessing and for watching. God's peace Rose Mary.
Mr. Ed
All the Shawee lessons are paying off!!!!!! LOL!!!!!! Great Video. Keep us posted on their progress.
The man taught me how to locate the queen before the wall is opened, and I'm finally catching on. Glad you liked the video, and next weeks post will be the update on these girls. Thanks for watching. God's peace Rodney.
Mr. Ed
Hi Jeff. Glad to see you guys. Hope you are all well today after them storms that rolled through there.
Thank you very much for your concern, and I will say that we were untouched by Laura in my part of Louisiana. However, the entire western portion of Louisiana is in serious trouble. Please pray for these unfortunate folks as many will have their lives changed forever, but most will endure much suffering in the upcoming weeks and months during the recovery. Thank you for your blessing and for watching. God's peace Jeremy.
Mr. Ed
Hope you, your family, your precious Mama and all the monks in the abbey (and the bees!) got through the storm OK! God's peace to you!

Hello there Mr. Ed. It was good to see you and Ralph and Charlie working together. I hope Ralph's shoulder gets all better very soon. You'll cosset and cherish that hive right back to flourishing health. God bless and see you soon.
Wait till next weeks video when I show just how well these bees have done in the last few weeks. Thank you for your blessings and for watching. God's peace Elaine.
Mr. Ed
Your videos never fail to make me smile. 🙂 You said, "The three amigos!" and it made me chuckle. Sure is good to see Wreck it Ralph and Good Time Charlie! Hope the little hive thrives. Thank you for putting out great content. The world needs more positivity. God bless you for all the good you do.
When I got home yesterday afternoon, mom was standing there with a letter in her hand and a big smile, she had just gotten your card. Thanks so much for bringing her a bit of happiness, it's always great to see her smile. Thank you for your blessings and kindness. Till the next time, God's peace Stephonie.

My happy place Breakfast and honey. With a dash of Mr Ed and two Amigo's Bee Wrangling and a Smiggon ofDirt Rooster's comments😀😂❤️🙏🏻💯🐝
Now that's a breakfast of champions. Thanks for watching. God's peace Mary Kay.
Mr. Ed
Always a great time with you. Your joy is a blessing! Thanks for what you do.
Delighted to share my joy as well as my bee wrangling adventures. Thank you so much for following along Paul. God's peace brother.

Quick work getting that Queen !
Nice !
I sent a letter and a check for that famous abbey honey ! Can’t wait to receive it !
God bless
Alexander
Got your letter yesterday, and will be sending your honey out today. You should get it by Tuesday due to the holiday on Monday. Thanks for your support and for watching. God's peace Alexander.
Mr. Ed
Jeff Horchoff Bees awesome ! I will keep an eye out for the mail
You brought that queen with you!! I figured I’d say it before Randy does. 🐝
I’m just teasing, that was a great catch. Thank you for another great video. God’s peace be with you. 🕊
This is the only video of yours I had to fast forward through part. I was having breakfast and all those roaches weren’t making it easy 🤣🤣
My buddy Schawee has been giving me personal lessons on locating the queen before removing plywood. Looks like my schooling is beginning to pay off. I can't blame you for fast forwarding while you were eating breakfast, I'd have done the same thing. Roaches are just plain gross. Thank you for your blessing and for watching. God's peace Heather.
Mr. Ed
Awesome catch Jeff your eye for the Queen is so good Thank you for another fun video G.B Jeff
It was quick and easy, another blessing from God. Thank you for your blessing and for watching. God's peace Rich.
Mr. Ed
Congratulations on 400 videos!! And to think I’ve probably watched all 400👀 Nice to see Charlie and Ralph. Good cut out. Also liked seeing their new home.👍💕😊
It's hard for me to believe I have made and posted 400 videos, and I'll keep on making them as long as folks like yourself will watch. Stay tuned for next weeks post, it's an update on this hive. Thanks for all the watching you do. God's peace.
Mr. Ed
Great video, really enjoy watching you wrangle. One comment: I use a tool called a cat's paw to pull nails. It's a small bar with surfaces to hammer on to get under the nail heads.
I had a cat's paw at one time but lost it somewhere along the way, I guess it's time to get another one. Glad you enjoyed watching the video, thank you for that and leaving your comment. God's peace Michael.
Mr. Ed
The hive pieces look like waffles on steroids. Great video. I will be here for your 500th video. Thanks.
The good thing is I have lots of honey to put on those waffles. Thanks for watching. God's peace Samantha.
Mr. Ed
Man your aura brightens up my day every time. You really are a special guy Mr. Ed, hope all is well from the UK and enjoy your day ❤️
Delighted to spread a bit of joy from my bee wrangling adventures, thank you so much for your kind words and for watching. God's peace brother.
Mr. Ed
The best smile in the world!!!
To kind Chelsea, thank you. God's peace.
Mr. Ed
Happy Friday❣️ ♥️🐝♥️
I feel the same way. Of course being retired, everyday is a Friday. Thanks for watching. God's peace Lisa.
Mr. Ed
Jeff Horchoff Bees I’m one year away. I can imagine!
I always love 💕 it when Geoff says “Thank you Jesus!” When he finds the Queen 👑 Bee 🐝, He resonates the love 💕 of God through Jesus. It makes my day to have fellow believers to be proud and vocal about their faith. Again a another great rescue of a hive being saved. Bees 🐝 are under stress from so many factors and anything anyone can do to save a hive and help it flourish is beyond good!
Happy to hear of your support of my giving praise for the blessings I receive. Stay tuned for next weeks video, it's a follow up of these bees. Thanks for watching. God's peace Narelle.
Mr. Ed
Mr Ed, I see the Rooster taught you something, referring to the veil that you changed to during the cutout. Thanks for the videos from the three Amigos!
In fact, it was the Rooster who gave me that veil, and I'll be using it more frequently. It's really nice. The 3 amigos have lots of future videos, sty tuned for them. Thanks for watching. God's peace Don.
Mr. Ed
I let out a whoop and said "Oh boy!! Wreck it Ralph AND Good-Time Charlie!!" and now my family thinks I'm crazy!!
I would not let that worry you, a lot of people think I'm crazy for wrangling bees. Thanks for watching the crazy wrangler. God's peace.
Mr. Ed
Always Happy to see your videos... "How long does it take to capture the Queen?" "Well, It didn't take no time at all she was waiting on you..... I wonder how long it takes to capture the King?........
Bees are smart, they don't allow the males to run anything. Hence, no kings. Thanks for watching. God's peace.
Mr. Ed
A good one. Capture, nuc , feed set up. Next spring, I hope to have some bees .
And I hope so as well James. God's peace brother.
Mr. Ed
Hope we can see updates on them
You are in luck, next Friday's video will do exactly that, stay tuned. Thanks for watching. God's peace.
Mr. Ed
She said.."It's Mr. Ed!! Might as well give up now and avoid the hassle" lol.
That would bee great if they were all this easy, but then where would the drama be. Thanks for watching. God's peace.
Mr. Ed
I like that soft Bluegrass music you had playing in the background. It was pretty. Just like getting the queen right off.
As many of my videos that you have watched, by now you can tell I'm a big fan of acoustic music, I'm happy to hear you enjoy it as well. God's peace JJ.
Mr. Ed
@@JeffHorchoff I especially like Bluegrass. It has always been up there with jazz.
Nothing better then watching nature's little farmers
I certainly hope you are not referring to the cock roaches, lol. Thanks for watching. God's peace Simon.
Mr. Ed
@@JeffHorchoff definitely not
Jeff Horchoff Bees oh come on now-roaches are an incredibly important part of the ecosystem, just like bees. Even if y’all do grow them to the size of pets down there. 😉 (I actually had to design research protocols for ethical experimentation on roaches and bees for a Canadian university a few years ago, and they’re remarkably similar social insects. Of course, I have cats and I live pretty far north, so the only time I have to deal with them is when I’m visiting family in your neck of the woods. 😂)
Mr. Ed has got some mad queen finding skills.
It's all by the grace of God. How's the honey house coming? God's peace brother.
Mr. Ed
Jeff Horchoff Bees my land deal fell through. I’m sure a new place is being lined up. In the meantime I had time to build 50 more hives and extracted 18 more frames of honey. I am blessed and God is good. Take care my friend and God Bless.
This was another great video by the speedie Mr Ed. God bless you and dthe bees and your two great helpers. Winter is juat around the corner it is 42 here this morning.
So glad you enjoyed the video Richard, it's always a pleasure hearing from you. Thank you for your blessings and for watching. I'm sorry to hear your cold weather is fast approaching, stay warm. God's peace brother.
Mr. Ed
Love those green/white blinds! Your shirt matches. Packer fans in Louisiana? Lol j/k.
Strange seeing a small cutout. Seems like you've been getting a lot of big ones. Glad to see you got them out and hopefully they will build up and get strong.
Next to the Saints, there are a lot of Cheese Head fans down here. Next weeks video will be an update on these bees, stay tuned. Thanks for watching. God's peace Matt.
Mr. Ed
CONGRATS on your 400th video!! God bless you and the work you do.
Thank you for your blessings and support. God's peace JJ.
Mr. Ed
Great job 👍🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝
Thank you Terri, and thank you for watching as well. Till the next time, God's peace.
Mr. Ed
Can't wait for an opportunity to do my first cut out.
Make sure you let me know how it turns out. Best wishes for you and the bees. God's peace William.
Mr. Ed
@@JeffHorchoff I will for sure and I'll do a video too! Thanks!
Excellent work👍👍👍 . Thanks for sharing
Another bee wrangling adventure for the books, glad to hear you enjoyed watching. till the next one, God's peace.
Mr. Ed
Looks like they moved out the ghetto and into the suburbs. Great improvement for that struggling hive. They will need more than a jar of honey to get through winter but I'm sure you will give them more TLC. Thanks Jeff.
This is definitely a step up for these bees, and stay tuned for next weeks video, it's an update on these bees. Thanks for watching. God's peace Russell.
Mr. Ed
As long as it takes.
Congratulations! You'r number ONE!!!!! Way to go, and thanks for watching. God's peace.
Mr. Ed
That was FAST!! If that was a bee rodeo you wld win the buckle😆
Thanks for all of the videos!
I'm having one made up right now. I'm even considering having it embossed in gold. Thanks for watching. God's peace Jeff.
Mr. Ed
@@JeffHorchoff thats actually a great idea!! It shld have a bucking bee on it!!
You missed vacuuming up a bunch of small hive beetles! They're going to be lonely without their pals.
I certainly hope it breaks their hearts. Thanks for watching. God's peace.
Mr. Ed
Love you and your videos are awesome beekeeper obviously an awesome friend. Can't wait to watch more of your videos thank you for the shout out for my birthday. When that video came out it was actually my mom's birthday. So that was very nice. You're my favorite beekeeper keep up the good work
Tell your mom Happy Birthday from Mr. Ed for me, and thanks for watching. God's peace Nicole.
Mr. Ed
@@JeffHorchoff my mom says thank you
I was watching your video on my slow work day and a young boy saw what i was watching and asked me who you were i told him and he said i want to be like mr ed
Where can someone send something if they want send u something
I would really like to follow the progress of this colony for a while to see if they build up at all before winter.
Great to hear that because next weeks video is a follow up from these bees, stay tuned. Thanks for watching. God's peace Allen.
Mr. Ed
Great video 👍. We had bees in our wall of our house not honey bees so my husband talked to them the hole time he was opening them up. They never stung him so when it was time to spray them I had to. He is so kind hearted he could not kill them so I had too. They were getting bin the house so they had to go.
Your husband must be a wasp whisperer, what a team you guys make! Thanks for watching. God's peace.
Mr. Ed
@@JeffHorchoff he is. He is a disabled veteran we are together 24 7. We make a great team. We have a love for all animals. Thank you and God Bless and yes I will keep on watching
I shuddered when I saw those huge roaches, I could not work on a removal with them being around it would freak me out.
I have to admit, it's really gross, but it comes with the territory. Thanks for watching....even though it was a bit freaky. God's peace Bererly.
Mr. Ed
You will need all your bee skills keeping that swarm alive, good luck.
Next weeks video will be a follow up on this hive, stay tuned. God's peace Rowan.
Mr. Ed
Mr. Ed, that was FAST! I don't think Randy has ever found a queen that fast!
Well, I know for a fact it's happened several time for him, but regardless, it is a very seldom occurrence for any bee wrangler to find the queen right off the bat. Thanks for watching. God's peace.
Mr. Ed
@@JeffHorchoff 😮👍✔🧡
Wonderful to see Wreckit Ralph. Hope you are healing Ralph. Thank you Ed and your team showing us God's glory, in these little creatures. 16.21+ - why not quietly swap the frames?
Ralph is doing great and almost finished with therapy. The reason the frames were not swapped was because there was no wax on them, and the bees needed drawn comb to start storing honey because they can't make any at this time of the year. Thanks for watching. God's peace.
Mr. Ed
@@JeffHorchoff thanks for the education!
It was so interesting to see the bees herding the roaches and protecting their hive.
For the bees, roaches are just something else they need to defend themselves against, and they take the necessary actions to do just that. Thanks for watching. God's peace Superman.
Mr. Ed
Nice cut out. I was suprised to see a big queen but hardly any brood in the hive. Looking forward to your follow up on this hive next week mr. Ed.
My guess is she was a new queen and had not yet started laying. Wait till you see what she's doing now. Thanks for watching. God's peace.
Mr. Ed
Hello 😀👋
Have a great weekend Terri! God's peace.
Mr. Ed
The THREE Amigos 4 sure! And I had NO doubt that Ralph would get right square dab in the middle of it. Ralph is in it for the long haul, as is charlie! Yall make a great team and Ralph has the queen spotter eyeballs! Perfect bee wrangling music and have a wonderful weekend with Mom! GBWYall!
Just like the Avengers, we've put together one heck of a crew. Thanks for your blessings and love for my mom. God's peace Lewie.

Mr. Ed
Somehow missed this video last week in my feed. Jeff, I am not a beekeeper (yet), but I really enjoy your videos, mostly because of your positive outlook. God bless.
Even if you do not receive notification about my newest video, just remember I post one every Friday. I'm looking forward to the day you become a bee keeper, the world needs as many as possible. Thank you for your blessings, kind words, and for watching. Until the next one, God's peace.
Mr. Ed
Oh man, cockroaches, yuck. One of my most feared beetles. I'm scratching just watching them. did you end up vacuuming any up? If so, what do you do with the bees and the comb? Is it infected? Thank you for sharing ♥♥♥
I'm no fan of roaches, but very often they are found in hives, it's just the way it is. I did not vacuum any of those critters, I made sure of it. the comb is not infected simply because there are roaches, but I would not eat any of it. Thanks for watching. God's peace.
Mr. Ed
LOL, that's probably not a record, but it was pretty fast! Will be praying for this hive, they've got an uphill battle for sure with winter coming. Good to see Charlie and Wreck-it Ralph with you this morning, Jeff--and glad to see Ralph is out and about and recovering! Will pray for a rapid recovery for him. I you would, please pray for my Mom, she's in ICU this weekend and being 84, this is kind of rough on her. She would appreciate any prayers! Nice cutout, bless you all for helping this hive.
I will certainly pray for your mother, I am so sorry to hear of her sufferings. God's peace.
Mr. Ed
You guys do great work.
I love the music. I hope you gave away the gifts from the home owners. I would love to come there and rangle someday.
God Bless Mr. Ed and crew.
Glad to hear you liked the video and the music in it, I'm very partial to acoustic music as you can tell. If you are ever in the New Orleans area, it would bee great to have you tag along on one of our be wrangling adventures. Thanks for your blessings and for watching. God's peace Roy.
Mr. Ed
Hi Jeff not a bee keeper but always enjoy watching your videos. And R\Dirt Rooster too. Where is he anyway haven't seen him lately.
What an honor, having folks who are not bee keepers following along with my adventures, thank you so much for that! The Rooster is posting almost every week, and in fact he just posted another today. God's peace Art.
Mr. Ed
Those bees had a lot of gross bugs to deal with. The cockroachs were clearly stealing their honey. I'm glad you rescued them, because otherwise they would have died, being overrun by bugs. Do hives start to fail because there are too many bugs to deal with? Or do hives fail for other reasons and then have bugs move in on them because they are already failing? Good video 👍
Often, hives die because of other insects inside of them. Most often mites, small hive beetles, and wax moths are responsible for the demise. However, roaches are never responsible for the collapse of a bee hive. Still, they are very gross. God's peace MD.
Mr. Ed
Mr Ed, are these roaches when you opened up the wall? I would certainly panic and get out! Had a neighbour bringing them in our building and it's a PAIN! Good weekend to my favourite bee wrangler!
They most certainly were there when I opened the wall, absolutely gross, but a VERY common sight when working around bees in peoples houses. Granted, there were a lot more present than I normally see, but to see roaches around a bee hive is almost a normal sight. I hope your weekend is a good one as well, I see your cold weather is about to return, enjoy the warm. God's peace MFH.
Mr. Ed
@@JeffHorchoff Oh the cold has begun I can tell you!
Enjoyed your video!!

Someday can you do a video showing the difference between the different types of bees like which ones are drones and which ones are workers and always on every video when you'll find a queen you show her
You got it, thanks for watching. God's peace Nicole.
Mr. Ed
@@JeffHorchoff thank you

Thank you Sherry, it appears my area is going to be unaffected, but continue your prayers for the folks in Alabama, Mississippi, and Florida. Thank you for your blessing and for watching. God's peace.
Mr. Ed
Missed this one when it first came out. Finding that queen so fast was awfully suspicious. Are you bringing a queen along with you now to try and look better than The Rooster?
Regardless of how slow or fast I find the queen, I will ALWAYS be better looking than the Dirt Rooster. God's peace brother.
Mr. Ed
Jeff why do you always try to find the queen ?? I have had many many eye surgery's ,and i cant find the queen and with the veal i cant see eggs either . but have not had any problem with my hives taking care of them selves . I have never vacuumed any though , But have shaken into a box often . and with out any problem .
The main reason I spend so much effort locating and capturing the queen is I do not want her to be harmed, and KNOWING that I have her safe and sound gives me greater hope that the bees will survive the removal and recovery. It's not necessary to know where the queen is in a bee box, as long as you see larva and capped brood, you know there is a queen in the hive. Continue on with your method, it works for you, and that's the important thing. Thanks for watching. God's peace John.
Mr. Ed
@@JeffHorchoff I was wondering about that question.. Intelligent answer Mr. Ed..
Happy Holiday Bee Man 😀
And you too my brother. Not only was the 7th a holiday, but it was my birthday as well. I had a double reason for partying. God's peace.

Mr. Ed
@@JeffHorchoff got to be better than rooster smuggling ! lmao Gods Will
How do you set up a cut out at home when its loaded with hive beatles? Never mind I'm watching the end of the video now. 🙂
During the summer months, hive beetles are most present in hives. Then, when their numbers grow to large, the bees can no longer contain them to certain areas of the hive, and this is when the beetles have the opportunity to lay eggs and the emerging maggots will then kill a bee hive. Really nasty little critters, I hate them way more than I hate cock roaches. Roaches can NEVER kill a hive. God's peace Leann.
Mr. Ed
@@JeffHorchoff So... i was thinking about how to control these beatles. I know there are trays used in conjunction with diatomaceous earth, oil, etc. Chickens can be used once they're on the ground. What if one or two more steps are taken to assist the tray method. Do you think if a product were made like a double sided sticky tape with a substance that stays sticky, stuck on the bottom of the four sides of the hives would catch beatles before they got to the hive? Or even some of the fiber material that catches their feet? Also, I read that they fall to the ground then burrow in. What if there were a small tray positioned under from wherever they fall to stop them from reaching the dirt? Not sure if these two ideas have been tried before.
Three amigos, i like it lol
I like to think we make a great team! Thanks for watching. God's peace Joe.
Mr. Ed
I always love to watch your new video 👌👍by the way Wana ask you something I'm a new bee keeper and I want to know bee box is made of pine tree??
Yes, the bee boxes are made of pine. Thanks you so much for watching the video, it's so nice to know you enjoyed it. Till the next one, God's peace.
Mr. Ed
Thank you 👍..k waiting for your next one❤️
The Rooster can’t find the queen to save his life.
I like to make folks think that, but it is far from the truth. He just does not make such a big fuss about it as I do.....I'm into all the drama. Thanks for watching. God's peace.
Mr. Ed
Thanks....Guy's more bee business l see....!
There's always bee business a foot when Wreck it Ralph, Good time Charlie, and Mr. Ed get together. God's peace Steve.
Mr. Ed
Now why do bees allow roaches near the hive like that?? and does the diseases from the roaches effect the hive in any way? And are there roaches in all hives??
Roaches get a bad reputation. They are common in the south and don't necessarily indicate poor living conditions and disease like they do in the north. They are everywhere in the south.
It's not that bees "allow" the roaches or beetles or mites or moths or lizards or spiders or ant, or the dozen other creatures you can find in a bee hive to be in the same area as the hive, they just are and the bees either handle the situation or are killed by it. You do not have to worry about roaches transferring diseases to the hive or to the honey, I know of no such a thing nor heard of it. Roaches are not found in all hives, but most have some around or in them. Thanks for watching. God's peace.
Mr. Ed
Hey Mr Ed !! I love the videos. Have you ever used sound frequency when collecting bees? It’s been studied that bees collect pollen at 528hz and there have been found many beneficial effects of 528hz. I wonder if this frequency may calm the bees in any way?
Now you are going to make me read upon it, I have not heard that. Thanks for the info and for watching. Till the next one, God's peace Keiren.
Mr. Ed
SCREAM ALERT: ROACHES
BUT... Congrats on the 400th video... take care!
Roaches are just so gross, and I come across them very often when doing a cut out. Thank you for your well wishes and for watching. Until the next one, God's peace Cyrious.

[Description] What is a Raised House? ~ 0:46 Oh, WOW! You KNOW you have a good camera when you can see your FINGERPRINT! Awesome! ~ 4:58 WOW! How often does that occur? [You were JUST starting to vacuum the bees, and you spotted the queen.] Thank You, Lord! ~ 11:15 OH! What happened to your head? {Scab above your right eyebrow} ~ It has been a while since we saw the "Observation Box". Will you be bringing it out some time? ~ 14:54 What is humming? ~ 19:16 Worker Bees: "Your Majesty! We are so GLAD you're free! Are you hungry? Do you need cleaning? Tell us what you desire of us, Your Majesty!"
I did take a bump while vacuuming the bees, but nothing serious, just a scrape. You never can tell when the observation hive will make an appearance. It was the AC condenser. They know how to take care of mama. Thanks for watching. God's peace Steven.
Mr. Ed
@@JeffHorchoff Good. I am glad you're going to be all right.
Dang......I was so close to getting first comment......so close!
You are going to have to get up a bit earlier to bee the 1st. There's no way the Rooster will ever be first, his eyes don't open in the morning until after 9. Glad to know you are out there watching, thanks for that. God's peace Yappy.
Mr. Ed
WOWZA! Catch any queens lately? 😃
With Wreck it Ralph in the house, you know it's going to happen. Thanks for watching. God's peace Barbara.
Mr. Ed
OMG the roaches just made my skin crawl!
Grossimus Maximus. Still, they are very common in bee hives as you well know. Thanks for watching. God's peace.
Mr. Ed
Jeff Horchoff Bees no cockroaches in my hives in upstate NY
If wreck it ralph had rotator cuff surgery I feel your pain dude I had rotator cuff surgery that 1 hurts Except for the 1 the doctor messed up my spinal cord that was the worst 1
Wreck it Ralph and now share the same injury, both of our arms have had rotator cuff surgery, and yet, we are still wrangling bees. So sorry to hear of your other injury. God's peace.
Mr. Ed
If you put your hand on that plywood would you have been able to feel the warmth of the bees?
It is possible, but my thermal camera only gave it a reading of about 87 degrees, warm, but not by much. Thanks for watching. God's peace Angela.
Mr. Ed
400 done and looking forward to the next 400. That top box you stuck on top of the nuke looked a bit 'used'. Did you steal it from the rooster's yard?
I[ll keep making videos as long as folks will watch, I really do love doing this. By the way, Rooster wishes his equipment looked have as good as that nuc. God's peace Kevin.

Interesting situation this time. Good one to learn some things about how to rehive bees that weren't thriving, including avoiding using the old comb to prevent the beetle infestation from transferring right over to the new hive. I bet with a clean hive and the fresh jar of honey, those bees will have a real chance to rebound and thrive.
But I'm wondering about that queen. You said there was hardly any brood, honey or pollen, and few bees. Do you think it's a new queen, a dud queen or what? What about the lack of stores? What could cause a hive to do so poorly?
The queen was in question right away on this one, but I'm happy to report things have turned around for these bees. Next weeks video is a follow up on this hive as well as the last one Ralph, Charlie, and I did. You will see for yourself what's going on. Thanks for watching. God's peace Carole.
Mr. Ed
Hiya
Keep on watching, thanks so much. God's peace brother.
Mr. Ed
Hi Jeff.... Could you show us the details of your bee vacuum system?
It looks like it may have been crafted there at the Abbey.
I would like to build one or at least improve on the design of the one that I built.
Thanks!
I've done it already, and the link is below. There is always room for personal modifications, be open to your own adaptations of making the machine work for you. Thanks for watching. God's peace David. Mr. Ed

@@JeffHorchoff Thank you!
The one I built was modeled after the one I've seen JPthebeeman using in some of his videos.
@@dkeithcollins The Colorado Bee vac is another very good design. God's peace David.
Mr. Ed
Intersting video! How is that cut-out doing now? The queen for some reason hadn't been laying; must be the mites, it's this time of year when Varroa mites get an upper hand.
Interesting that you should ask how this hive is doing because on Friday you will be able to see for yourself. I am doin an update video on this hive and another one for my Friday morning post, stay tuned. Thanks for watching. God's peace.
Mr. Ed
@@JeffHorchoff 😀👍 Thank you, Mr. Ed! Follow-up videos make the story complete. Would be interesting to see if the queen has started laying.
@@sleepyowl910 You are going to be happily surprised as was I. Looking forward to hearing what you will have to say. God's peace.
Mr. Ed
Makes the rest of the removal so much easier once she is caged. Of course there could be two....
Sooooo much easier. In all the years I've been doing removals, I've never found more than one queen in a hive. However, during swarm season, that can be a different story. God's peace Daniel.
Mr. Ed
How well did that hive endure, after you housed it?
Check out the video I posted on Friday, and you can see for yourself. Thanks for watching. God's peace Anthony. Mr. Ed

Hello Mr. Ed........ Would there not have been beetles on the frames you bumped into the nuke? Thanks once again
Because I was looking, I did not see any beetles on the frames before I bounced them into the hive. Even if there were, the number would have been so few, the bees would be able to manage them. Thanks for watching. God's peace Charles.
Mr. Ed
Hey Brother Ed! Good to see you again! I have a couple of beekeeping related questions. I've seen other keepers using a "horizontal" hive and an indoor observation hive. What are your opinions on those? I'm looking forward to your next video! Take care, God Bless!
I like both types of hives, and I have a horizontal hive myself. I even think one day I will have and observation hive as well. Thank you for your blessing and for taking the time to watch my bee wrangling adventures. Until the next one, God's peace.
Mr. Ed
@@JeffHorchoff Would it be possible for you to do a video on your horizontal hive? I'm sure other people would be interested too. Also if you ever get an observation hive, that'd be a cool video too!
@@Wahots79 I already did several videos on the horizontal hive, here is the link to one of them. God's peace. Mr. Ed

Hey ed- I noticed just a little bit of larvea in a honey super I had on. It was full of honey from last year, and I was just waiting on getting another deep to put on top of the brood box. I put the deep on top of the brood box and moved the honey super on top of that new deep- will the queen leave that super alone now?
I really can't say, it's possible, but only time will tell. Keep an eye on it. Thanks for watching. God's peace Kamden.
Mr. Ed
@@JeffHorchoff thanks ed!
Hey Ed! Do you thin the honey you put on the hive?
Not at all. At this stage of recovery, they get full strength honey. I will continue the feeding of honey until our nectar flow begins at the end of September. Thanks for watching. God's peace Curt.
Mr. Ed
was wondering about all those hive beetles , do you use those strips that ian ( canadien beekeeper ) uses . also did you get my check
I am curious as well about the hive beetles. Even without taking the comb, I would assume you get some beetles. How do you deal with them once you get them to the Abbey?
Another great one!
I do not use anything to combat the beetles except strong hives, I let the bees take care of it. I am sorry, but I did not get your check, and I check every day. Thanks for watching. God's peace Greg.
Mr. Ed
@@Rivi_Styx I took extreme measures not to bring any of the beetles back with me, and it worked, none got into the hive when it was transferred. I show how I transfer the bees from the bee vac at the end of the video, and the drawn comb frames that replaced the original comb. My next weeks post gives a follow up on these bees, stay tuned. Thanks for watching. God's peace.
Mr. Ed
@@JeffHorchoff I did watch the end where you explained it, but thought maybe the beetles would hitch a ride in the bee vac. I don't keep bees so I had no idea. Thanks for responding! Your welcome for me watching, I'll keep on watching. Thanks for making more. 🐝
Mr Ed, where did you get the gloves you wear? I assume they are sting proof.
And yes, they are sting proof. God's peace.
Mr. Ed
Jeff Horchoff Bees but where did you buy them?
Is that 100% honey or a mixture you’re feeding them?
100%, pure honey. Best stuff to feed starving bees. Thanks for watching. God's peace.
