What did I do with all the honey from the RV removal? Using the "crush and strain" method I processed it. From start to finish, from removing the comb all the way to having the bees clean ups the crushed comb and rendering the wax, this video shows it. I hope you will enjoy. Thanks for watching. God's peace.

Gosh that Honey is so dark, and it's mind blowing that so much is held by so little wax in comparison. It sure makes you appreciate the the skill of these girls, and all the work they do even more.
As soon as you said girls I imagined all the bees with the blushing eyes anime girl on each of them as they buzz around. I’m dying. And high. Very high.
The bees worked hard to make the wax and honey, and I worked just as hard to process it....and it was worth all the effort. Thanks for watching. God's peace Suzanne.
Mr. Ed
Enjoy the air up there and safe landings. 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
It always looks dark when you have that much
The hive was the most valuable part of that RV.
No doubt it was, if only I was worth as much. God's peace brother.
Mr. Ed
@@JeffHorchofflol 😂 be careful Mr. Ed. question, are they "Africanized" bees? aka "killer bees"? Have you guys ever encountered them?;
I was sitting under my verandah in rural australia this morning watching the honeybees, native blue banded bees and butterflies working their way around my garden beds. I thought of Jeff and the guys enjoying watching the bees doing the same thing on the other side of the world. Im grateful that some of that nectar might eventually find it’s way to my table when I buy my honey at the next local farmers market.
Jay my friend, you are living the good life. Thank you for your thoughts and for all the time you take following along with my bee wrangling adventures. We are both blessed guys. God's peace brother.
Mr. Ed
Thank you for sharing your beekeeping adventures, I’m always learning
You are very welcome, and I'm very appreciative that you take the time to follow along, thanks for watching. Until the next one. God's peace.
Mr. Ed
I wonder if the Monks would make a honey wheat bread now. Seems like a good idea. It could be sold at the gift shop or online with the honey you collect around the Abbey.
Great job, Mr. Ed! Way to repurpose that old steam colander!
God's Blessings to all at the Abbey🥰🥰🤗🤗🙏🙏
It is only on special occasions that the monks bake bread to sell, but I will say this, in the past they did use our honey to make the 9 grain bread that was sold. Unfortunately, it has been a few years since that has happened again. Always great hearing from you Susan, God's peace.
Mr. Ed
Lol that monk's a real beefcake. Looks like a great place to work and bee.
Great video!
Lol, I was scanning the comments to see if anyone mentioned him! You're a looong way down the comment list! Thanks for confirming I'm not the only observant one around. Hahaha. I'm guessing he's not the typical though.
I'll pass along your comment to Brother Joseph, it will make him laugh. Thanks for watching. God's peace.
Mr. Ed
@@JeffHorchoffI noticed 2 in another video, thought it was near Halloween 😂. Sorry!
They are pumping iron in that monastery!
I rendered some old comb done this year. Old brood comb mostly. Out of all that dirt and mess I got some beautiful wax. I love seeing the beauty that lies beneath the ugly. Great lesson for life. Thank you for another great video.
True that!
You appear to have yourself a large flock of happy healthy bees who in the end do enjoy the fruits of the prior work or ofther bees Mr. Ed! They have to be happy bees because you are not being chewed up as you sit among to coolers of comb remnants. Creativity appears to be one of your many tools, for as you mentioned, just looking around and you come up with a large colander and champaign tub! Even then the combination of colander and tub were heavily filled by comb and honey. Looks to be as though the weekend before Thanksgiving could be a very sweet one indeed! Thank you again for another fine story! -Bob...
I think the bees actually can recognize certain people and Mr. Ed is probably one person they look forward to seeing because he brings the goodies!
@@WarmFuzzyVibes That does make perfect sense when you also look at how he and Good Time Charlie are so careful with his bee removals! Why I suppose that Mr. Ed could be seen as Louisiana's Bee Whisperer!!
No wonder you were struggling to lift that out of the RV onto the table! And yes, even in death those girls can sting. Thanks to both of you for the video. God Bless! -Jeff and Diane
I'm enjoying the honey you sent me with my coffee every day, thanks so much. Oh yea, tell Diane Mona just got an embroidering machine this weekend and can hardly wait to start using it. Thank you for your blessings and for watching. God's peace brother.
Mr. Ed
@@JeffHorchoff Wow! An embroidery machine! I had to look that up to see what they look like. I suppose it depends on the model, but I saw lots of different threads and bobbins. Looks like a challenge to run. We will have to get Mona and Diane together at NAHBE. I'm sure they will be self entertaining... :-) Glad you are enjoying the honey. See you in 6+ weeks! (That's a warning!) -Jeff
@@windyridgeapiaries I should have said what type it was, sorry for that. It's a Bai, 15 head embroidery machine. The cool thing is I'm going to have her start making some things for me to give away on my channel. I'm looking forward to seeing you guys in a few weeks as well, till then, God's peace Jeff.
Mr. Ed
Hi Jeff, thanks for the video. I use my apple cider press to squeeze the honey out. You can buy a so called honey gate (kind of spicket) online that you can put into the side of the champagne tub to easily get the honey out.
I was considering getting a press, but I still enjoy extracting the honey using my hands. Also, I do plan on putting a gate in the bucket, I just have not gotten around to it yet. Thanks for watching. Until the next one, God's peace Bert.
Mr. Ed
RECYCLING to the MAX! Good job there, Palley! Your helper was sure enjoying the fruits of your labor! Have a Jesus weekend and God Bless ALL Yall!
i love the honey collection vids mr. ed!!!!!!!
And I love making them, thanks for watching. Until the next one, God's peace.
Mr. Ed
I think what is amazing to me is when you said you can get stung by a dead bee and so that is why you wear those super thick rubber gloves when you hand crush that comb!
"It was so cool; I knew It would have a purpose for me one day" I love it! 🤗 Thanks Jeff
Feeding back the scraps is always best! Thanks Jeff!!
Being an outa door's kinda guy I've always enjoyed finding the wild honey. One year my side kick and I made an incredible find in a huge valley of banana yucca, in a cave filled with comb. That was a huge haul we made. And we had hardly put a dent in this cavern full of bee's.
Nice find there, and I'm sure there's more out there for ya. Keep looking for it, God does provide
Great story, and I would have loved to taste the honey. Thanks for watching and I am going to keep looking. Also, I hope you will check out more of my bee wrangling/ bee rescues adventures and let me know what you think of them. By the way, I post a new video every Friday morning, and I look forward to hearing from you again soon. God's peace Douglas.
Mr. Ed
Gersh! just look at all them bees! Mmm, mmm, good! Have some hunny for me! Thank you for sharing with us Jeff! Blessings to all~
You need an old-fashioned laundry mangle to crush the comb. Good luck in finding one.
And there in lies the rub. I have been looking for one for years with no luck so far. 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
Did you know that bees are healing? The sound and vibrations they give off are very healing! So you sitting there in between them was a great way to get some healing work done! 🤗🙌😇🐝🐝🐝🐝
Yes I did, I have read a few studies on the benefits of listening to bees, but as a beekeeper for over 40 years, I already knew most of what I read. Thanks for watching, and I hope you will check out more of my bee wrangling/ bee rescues adventures and let me know what you think of them. By the way, I post a new video every Friday morning, and I look forward to hearing from you again soon. God's peace.
Mr. Ed
😋😋😋😋🍯🍯🍯🍯🐝🐝🐝🐝 I am such a bee lover. Your videos are very informative Mr. Ed. Thank you
You are very welcome, and I have to say how much I appreciate your love for bees as they are so important to our very survival. Also, thank you for discovering my channel and watching the content I produce each week. Until the next one, God's peace JK.
Mr. Ed
Always enjoy your videos and seeing you work with a big smile on! God bless you and the good people you work with!
Thank you very much for your blessings and gift, it is so generous of you to give them. Also, thanks so much for taking the time to follow along with my bee wrangling adventures. Until the next one, God's peace brother.
Mr. Ed
Watching you two pour the honey into the buckets, was my ASMR, for today👍💕🙏
Delighted to provide the entertainment, thanks so much for watching. Until the next one, God's peace.
Mr. Ed
Always enjoy seeing your different methods of extracting honey from the comb. You were able to get a lot of honey for the Abbey which is a blessing in itself. My favorite part is when you feed the bee's outside and just to sit amongst them and enjoy watching them feast. Thank you for another great video Mr Ed and Good Time Charlie. God Bless!!!!
I found one of those coffee pot strainers, much smaller of course, at the Salvation Army store, I use it in my solar wax melter.
What a great tool! Who would have known that it would have to take a beekeeper to show the correct way to use it. 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 Donald.
Mr. Ed
Hi mr Ed.. Nice lot if honey. Well done
Always a pleasure coming to the channel and seeing the progress. Thanks for another great video.
And it's always a pleasure for me as well every time you visit, so glad you enjoyed watching. Thank you for doing that, and until the next time, God's peace brother.
Mr. Ed
Jeff,mi seen one of the very large honey operation that used a old Hobart commercial, meat grinder with a medium plate to crush the honey comb to extract the honey from the old comb. It breaks up the old hard comb and extracts the honey with ease.
Yes, that sounds effective and fairly non-messy.
Remember he has repurposed several items that were on the scrap pile. The colander, the wax melter and I think were a couple of other items.
@@danrossell6375 yes I know, but you are off topic.
I you ever got the URL for that video of wax crushing, I'd love to see it! Thanks for watching. God's peace Raymond.
Mr. Ed
@@JeffHorchoff Jeff, I saw it in the processing room at a honey company in Oklahoma, that I toured and they was crushing honey from wild bees. Aka cutouts As I said before they was using an old commercial Hobart meat grinder and was using the coarse medium grinder plates 1/2 inch holes.
What was funny is the honey from the wild bees, they would package and sell in the health food store as wild honey taken from non domesticated bees. I asked them the difference and the comment was bees in a hive box are domesticated, and the wild honey is from bees that build where every they want, in trees, cars, houses.
The owners of Ross honey company from Minco laughs about how the health food stores all want wild raw honey. He said for some reason the health food stores think the honey in the hives is not wild honey and are feed sugar water and chemicals.
In one health food store they had a quart jar of honey that had beep parts and whole bees and crush honey comb, I had a heart attack when I saw the price tag of $45 dollars, and it was from a honey company in your home state from around Shreveport. The honey was dark and so was the comb.
Talk about ASMR lol. The sound of the honey draining from the comb 😊😊😊
Here's the link to a video I made that's ALL about the sound of honey. Let me know what you think. Thanks for watching. God's peace Paige.

Amazing Brother, I was looking forward to this video. Thx again and have a blessed day Mr. Ed.
Amazing work, that lovely dark honey yum yum , keep up the great content Mr Ed🤩
I enjoy watching you rescue bees as well, you keep up the good work as well. Until the next one, God's peace brother.

Sounds like a old type of coffee ☕️ pot for sure.
WWII issue. They got it from Army Surplus years ago. God's peace Ray.

THANK YOU ! I'm bedfast now so my beekeeping is vicariously done through you !
I'm happy to bee here for you John, God's peace brother.

Mr. Ed
Have you ever tried a wine press? I have to imagine you can find one around the Abby worth cleaning up.
Just the discovery and plan to refurbish such an item could make for a cool video.
I enjoy what you do! I even learned a friend of mine over in Russia very much enjoys what and how you do what you do.
Thank you
I have looked into a press for squeezing the honey, but to date, I have not found one large enough to handle the amount of wax I would put into it. I'm seriously considering building one just for the purpose, and that should make a really cool video. Thank you for spreading the news about my channel and for taking the time to follow along. Remember, I post a brand new video every Friday, and if that is not enough, there are over 600 more of them that have already been posted. God's peace.
Mr. Ed
What a wonderful way to start my day, your vid was at the top of my 'favorites' list. I love your vids and always look forward to your new adventures. A special thank you to Charlie, your camera talents are the best. Now that the weather's getting unpredictable, stay well and safe driving. Thank you both, I'll keep on watching and wait for more vids.
Brilliant... love the scale of doing it this way. I guess this is how it was done historically ?
Before we had uncapping machines and extractors, it was the only way. Personally, I'm very happy to have machines to do the work, but I still enjoy doing it old school way. 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 Robyn.

God bless you Mr Ed!!
Greetings from a German teacher with my students
Hello! Over the years I have had several teachers from Germany who share my videos with their students. Thank you so much for exposing the youth to such an important contributor to our survival. Tell them all Mr. Ed says hello and thank them for caring. 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
Great Video!! You are one hard working man my brother!! You and Charlie make a great bee team.
I may be wrong (of course!) but I think Wreck it Ralph was Mr. Ed's assistant in that other bee suit cause I saw a mustache. Probably Charlie was the camera man though.
Hey Irv, glad to see you dropping a comment AND a compliment, two rare occurrences. Thanks for doing both of those and for watching. Until the next one, God's peace brother.
Mr. Ed
Watching your videos just makes my day. I also get to learn too. Thank you Mr. Ed.

Mr. Ed
a bee feeding frenzy!! an idea for Br. Joseph. maybe use some of the honey you get from the bees to make a bread recipe that uses honey in it? or do they already do that?
They have done that very thing from time to time. They have some of our honey in the bakery and use it on special runs for the helpers and themselves. 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 Troy.
Mr. Ed
Jeff my thought on this wouldn't a old washing machine ringer.. you know the one that has the two rollers!. set at a certain angle feed in honey comb..... honey comb comes out toward top... liquid honey squeezes and falls to bottom. Comb comes out other side... like maybe molded plastic.... if not... and have a blade slicing and pulling comb off and putting in container. i believe an idea like this would save you more time and extract more honey from feral or other comb you have to squeeze by hand.. just saying... oh by the way my new supply of clover leaf honey has finally been processed as soon as i can get a good jar i will send you some take care see you later.
I have been looking for one of those rollers for years and have yet to find one. I'd love to experiment with that very idea. Looking forward to tasting the new batch with my coffee. Thanks for watching. God's peace Gary.
Mr. Ed

Mr. Ed
What a difference in calmness those bees were as opposed to if they were Africanised bees. I was slightly hoping to see the transfer of these bees into their new home hives. Ah well one can’t have everything in life I suppose!! Thanks Mr Ed for a delightful video and much enjoyed here in the UK.
Afternoon Mr. Jeff that round block of wax made me hungry when u pulled it out the bucket to me it looked like cornbread
If you liked the way that block of wax looked like, check out my next weeks post on how I get it to look like that.

Loved the original video! I was worried you hurt your back lifting that board with all the honey. Good to see that you use everything you can and then give back to the bees. God bless.
Thank you for your blessings, concern, and for taking the time to watch the videos, it is all greatly appreciated. Until the next one, God's peace Brenda.
Mr. ed
Dude, you are cool. Love watching, thanks.
You know you have so many Bees from that hive I'm wondering if you could get a couple Queen Bees 🐝 to start another couple of hives.
I realize that, and next Spring I will be doing exactly what you suggested. God's peace Ray.
Mr. Ed
Good evening Jeff, mug up from New Hampshire. Bees were out flying the last 2 days...no more, cold and well cold till spring, it should be. Let's see some bees!! Yup! That's some bees🐝🐝🐝🐝
Wow! Fantastic! What a huge blessing even though they were a nuisance for a while! It’s great that you were able to feed them so much of “leftover “ honey! I imagine there isn’t a lot of natural resources available at this time of year. Thanks for sharing! Great videos of the entire rescue!
Late summer and fall removals!! Wow they yield a lot of honey and that colony was huge!!
You would have loved to bee a part of this one.....well, maybe not. God's peace brother.
Mr. Ed
Hi Geoff. Like to suggest you get a fine mesh basket to put into the kettle to capture all that muck left over from the rendering. It would make your life so much easier when it comes to cleaning
Great idea! I'm going to see what I can do to make that happen. Thanks for the suggestion and for watching. Until the next one, God's peace brother.
Mr. Ed
Little bit of everything in this video. The cutout, wax refining, honey harvesting, and even bees swarming over your equipment. All we're missing is some splits and a Rooster cameo.
Just another day of be wrangling....and no Rooster in sight. Thanks for watching. God's peace.
Mr. Ed
Now that’s a lot of honey 🍯 my friend doing the lords work stay safe God bless cheers from Haiti 🇭🇹 👍🏾🤙🏾
Thanks for the blessings, kind words, and for taking the time to follow along. now go get turnt! God's peace brother.
Mr. Ed
Amen!
I love watching you work with the bees and associated byproducts. By the way Jeff, I am sure you can buy gates for use with your muck buckets ( thats what we call them ). The gates (spigots) come with rubber washers for both sides.
Great video thanks for sharing god bless everyone
Love ❤️ your bee videos!
Thank you Susie, and remember, I post a new one every Friday. Till the next time, God's peace.
Mr. Ed
I never thought I'd be fascinated to watch a man of God making macaroni and cheese noises.

By the way, I post a new video every Friday morning, and I look forward to hearing from you again soon. God's peace Dave.
Mr. Ed
I call those 'horse buckets' cause I always see them in videos and around horse barns and stuff. I have one about that size for most of my gardening supplies.
I have started, on outdoor cutouts, using a brush to sweep bees off of combs and onto the brood pile or into the box. Saves vacuum time by piling them up or skipping vacuuming them all together. My vac arm doesn't get so tired either. Much faster overall. Why didn't I think of this years ago.🤔
I can't believer the "swarm king" is now a bee wrangler, way to go Tadd! God's peace brother.
Mr. Ed
@@JeffHorchoff many hundreds and hundreds, some in places Mrs. Doesn't even want to know about they are so crazy.
@@taddrienstra7247 What happens when you are wrangling stays there....except for the bees and honey. Hey, are you going to Kaymon's Expo this year? If so, I'll see you there.God's peace brother
@@JeffHorchoff Yes, I will be there. Looking forward to seeing you again my friend. Much to catch up on.
That looks a lot of fun. I love that dark honey.
I was looking forward to this one. Is this the largest bee removal you have done Mr. Ed? I must say I envy the lifestyle you and Mona have. You visit some great locations and what is better than working for bees and the Abbey. You and are such a good team. Tku ad sending blessings.
No, it was not the largest removal I have done, but it certainly is right up there. Thank you so much for your blessings, kind words, and taking the time to follow along with my crazy adventures, it is all greatly appreciated. Until the next one, God's peace Mary.
Mr. Ed
I know it's pretty easy to add a water spigot to the side of those tubs, not sure if you'd need a heavier duty/larger bore spigot for honey; but it may be available. If you wanted to put it on the bottom , you'd get more drainage, but then will always need to set it on a stand of some sort (or attach it to high enough castors/legs/etc.
I now have a honey spigot to add to the basket. Next time you see the basket, you will see the newly added spigot. Thanks for watching. God's peace.
Mr. Ed
On the jars, You should call this honey Trailer trash honey, because the bees lived in a trailer 😀
That entire wrangle and harvest was huge. I wonder what the record is? Have a great weekend Jeff
This was not my largest wrangling or honey haul, but it is right up there. Happy Thanksgiving Joey and God's peace.
Mr. Ed
Wow whilst watching the honey I had beeswax longing with those huse rounds of wax in the background . I could almost smell it
Huge not huse lol
All that wax will be used come spring time, but for now, I am enjoying the smell it gives to our honey house. Thanks for watching. God's peace.
Mr. Ed
I bet a fruit press would make light work of the crush and strain method. I'm sure the casket shop has a drill press - maybe you can make it work for honey.
A possibility for another day. Still, I like the idea. Thanks for watching. God's peace.
Mr. ed
What kind of gloves are those that the bees can't sting through Jeff? They don't look like just regular dish washing gloves. Would like to get me a pair of those.
Great haul of honey on that one!
The gloves are made by Wells Lamont and I get them from Amazon for about 7 bucks. They are PVC coated and rubber lined which makes them great sting protectors. Thanks for watching. God's peace Carole.
Mr. Ed
Nice to have seen all of this. Is this honey good for consumption? As you said that the beetles will lay eggs in it, or isn't that harmful for people? Small request, please clean the lens of the camera 😉 Have a great weekend.
Yes, all the honey was consumable...and very tasty as well. As long as the honey is processed before the eggs are laid, there is no harm done to the honey. I saw the same thing and have cleaned the lens. Thank you for pointing that out and for taking the time to watch the video. Also, I hope you will check out more of my bee wrangling/ bee rescues adventures and let me know what you think of them.

Bee careful with those champagne bucket handles- the are only anchored by the mushrooming of the heat treated rope ends. I've had them fail on me. I put some nail/staples in the ends to keep them from them pulling through the holes.
Great idea, thanks for the heads up and for taking the time to watch the video. Until the next one, God's peace.
Mr. Ed
I'm wondering, would you be able to use an old style washer wringer to squeeze the honey out of the comb? If it squeezes water out of clothes, it SHOULD be able to squeeze honey out of comb, right? You can still buy new ones at stores that supply Amish communities and homesteaders who live off grid.
I have been looking for one for years but have never found it. Thanks for watching and for the lead in getting one. God's peace Julie.
Mr. Ed
@@JeffHorchoff Lehman's in Ohio sells them and ships all over the country.😉
I believe you can buy those gates at a beer and wine making supply store.
I actually have one now and plan on installing it before the next time I do this, it will really help. 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
It would be interesting to weigh the wax before and after the bees clean it up. I'd guess the bees cleaned up another 5 lbs of honey off the wax. My bees will actually take the wax as well! (waste not want not)
Our bees take some of the wax as well, but they will take ALL the honey. God's peace brother.
Mr. Ed
That is a breathtaking amount of honey from just one hive…
A Grape crusher across that coarse filter would speed your honey collection up, into your bucket!🤠
I agree, and I'm looking at a cider crusher right now. Thanks for your suggestion and for watching. God's peace Stanley.
Mr. Ed
Jeff, this sure beats carrying mail! LOL
Every day of the week. Thanks for watching. God's peace Bernard.
Mr. Ed
Sounds like a coffee pot Percolating.
Wow!
Oh yeah, the sweet rewards of the bees efforts. 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 brother.
Mr. Ed
That block of land looks good got a xterra pro yet.
Still using the hand held Sony, old faithful. God's peace brother.
