Here's a new one, removing a swarm and catching a brand new one right after. I hope you enjoy the experience as much as we did seeing it happen.Thanks for watching. God's peace to all.
Mr. Ed
• Huge swarms make huge ...

Did a soffit removal 2 weeks ago. It was clean removal so I was surprised when they call the next evening and said we left a lot of Bees. I had told them to call if there were strays. When I got there it was a new swarm (maybe 5 lbs).
Lol poor folks, talk about confused...."but honey, they TOOK the bees..."
@@RICDirector We have a home whose front tree (12' tall) gets one or two clusters every year. I get a Txt like - Back or Again and just head over. We have a trap in the area but they are so easy to get I just go over at dusk. (Unmanaged managed boxes nearby)
Now that was a large swarm! It's just so cool how bees are. God's peace Daniel.
Mr. Ed
I am officially a bee keeper. Hive brought to my apiary last Saturday. Looking good so far. Thanks for teaching about bees and making it look so fun!
it gets me on how perfect they build comb freestyle without a preformed foundation. Its flawless and so uniform
I agree 100%, and it is simply another example of the greatness of God's creation. Thanks for watching. God's peace Melanie.
Mr. Ed
It is totally amazing that this hive is less than 2wks old! That seems like soooo much work to build that much hive that quickly! Puts REAL meaning to “Busy as a Bee”! Thanks for you educating vids.
When the swarm is large enough, they can get a lot of comb built in a very short period of time, and with an old queen, like this queen was, she can begin laying right away and the colony grows exceptionally fast. Thanks for watching. God's peace Kathleen.
Mr. Ed
Many wings make light work?
Hey Ed, I watch you all the time you are the best of all the beekeepers I'm saying, you are very gentle and concerned about the beach I wonder why couldn't you make a little sock to go on the end of your suction to catch your queen bee, when you're ready to get her
There's always a chance of hurting the queen by vacuuming her which is why I prefer to catch her with my hands. Thank you for your kind words and for taking the time to follow along with my bee wrangling adventures, it is greatly appreciated. Until the next one, God's peace Harry.
Mr. Ed
I loved the T shirt joke, clint eastwood did the same to his men in heart break ridge, he told his squad to improvise, overcome and adapt, Charlie has to do the same ha ha ha ha
Heart break ridge, what a great movie! Poor Charlie, I've always got him guessing. God's peace Graham.
Mr. Ed
Mr Ed, those bees just love you! 🐝 🐝 🐝♥️🙏🏻♥️🙏🏻
God gives us abundantly. He is happy with the way you take care of His bees. He gives you miracles. Praise His name. I am recouping at home. So glad to see you bee wrangling.
WhoooooHoooooo i am only 1 day late and it's very good to see you both👀....Thanks Mr.Ed & Good times Charley 👍
Shoe🇺🇸
Only one day, that's awesome! Keep up the excellent work. Until the next one, God's peace Steve.
Mr. Ed
lol, at 4:25 the bees are that calm , because they never saw you coming with that camouflage hat ....
March 11 is MY BIRTHDAY. Great video. Amazing how the bees 🐝 can find a way in.
Happy belated birthday, I hope you had a great one! Thanks for watching. God's peace.
Mr. Ed
That's the prettiest comb.
That's The most Beautiful comb i have seen this year! So Gorgeous!
It’s so sad that that larvae won’t make it. I’m glad another swarm is coming in!
I agree it is sad, but the good part is the entire hive survived and they will make more. Thanks for watching. God's peace Nashia.
Mr. Ed
They would if he'd put them in a frame and then into the box. I've seen this donemany times. Just a waste to do it this way.
We’ve done it both ways. Framing comb can be messy and time consuming. For us it depends on each particular removal if we frame comb on location or not. I’m not sure if Mr. Ed treats his bees for mites or not, so not framing the comb may also give the bees a short brood break that would be beneficial, especially if he treats with OAV after he rehives them. There’s pluses and minus to each way. As with all things beekeeping, there’s a million ways to accomplish the same goal, which in the end is a healthy colony!

Charlie U R the best camera man 👁 have ever seen. The🐝 combs R as clean 👁 have ever 👀. Jeff do U have any fear of 🐝. 👁Love ⌚ing your 📼 they make me less afraid of 🐝s all the ⏲. thanks💕
You’ve got to be the patron Saint of Bees the way you check swarms.
Far from it, I'm just a regular bee wrangler. God's peace Bill.
Mr. Ed
Such beautiful, brand new comb! Just WOW!
Thank you for collecting this lovely colony.
I'll bet by sunset the bees that were out hunting for nectar and pollen will populate the traps since you cleaned out their home.
Thank you for this outstanding video. God be with both of you.
I see you’re rocking the mini mullet!😂
The mullet is gone, I'm back to my summer cut now. Thanks for watching. God's peace Tim.
Mr. Ed
Bom trabalho 🤝👍🇧🇷
That one comb looked like the state of Michigan. LOL😂
It really did! Thanks for watching. God's peace Beverly.
Mr. Ed
Just amazing! Y’all always bring us something cool to watch and teach us something at the same time :) thanks for sharing and taking us along :)
Hi Jeff, there is a bee remover here in Melbourne, Australia that fills the crevice with old clothing after removing the bees so that other swarms cannot use the same area, Regards Anton
I always suggest fiberglass insulation as it will not break down. Thanks for watching. God's peace Anton.
Mr. Ed
That was a big swarm! And a lot more comb than i was expecting - i thought one of two little 3-4 inch pieces at best, what a surprise to see so many larger pieces! And all so beautiful and new. Amazing they could build all that in such a short time! Always enjoy watching you and Charlie wrangle some bees!
Boy I've really gotten behind...it's already June 12th! But I so enjoy each and every video you take the time and efforts for us to watch and learn from. Blessings to you all!
In my book, both you and the 'girls' are absolute Rock Stars! I love your channel, so interesting!
Thank you for your kind words and for taking the time to follow along with my bee wrangling adventures, it is greatly appreciated. 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. By the way, I post a new video every Friday morning, and I look forward to hearing from you again soon. God's peace Janet.
Mr. Ed
I put my swarm trap just on some cinder blocks in my backyard a few weeks ago and within 3 days I had a swarm moved in.
Congratulations!!! there's nothing better than free bees. Thanks for watching. God's peace Dawn.
Mr. Ed
Thanks!
No, thank you good sir! God's peace Larry.
Mr. Ed
What a team!
And Jesus is leading the way! Thanks for watching. God's peace Christopher.
Mr. Ed
And to you Mr Ed.
wow must be a excellent place to attract bees , thanks again
I use squished queen cups and swarm cells as an attractant. Just get about 6 of them, and put them in the swarm trap.
Now that's a great lure! God's peace Uncle Reggie.
Mr. Ed
I'm a new viewer to your channel and the more I see, the more I like your upbeat channel. Lord Bless you guys and see you soon !!
Thank you so much for your blessings and for discovering my channel and tuning in, it is all greatly appreciated. By the way, I post a new video every Friday morning, and I look forward to hearing from you again soon. God's peace John.
Mr. Ed
I think you just found the fountain of never ending swarms... Free bees all summer HAHA! 🤣
Don’t tell him he’s old he’s lovely
Both Charlie and I are old, but we keep on wrangling bees. Thanks for watching. God's peace Nola.
Mr. Ed
That was a very interesting video.👍😄✌️
the wife says attitudes are contagious its a big reason i watch
Cool that you are getting a new swarm & right after putting up the traps a new swarm is moving in before you leave. LOL I bet you get both filed.
I have to admit, it was a very cool day to have seen that happen which is why I wanted to post this video. Thanks for watching. God's peace.
Mr. Ed
Hava a🐝utiful Day!
I really like the way you show accessing the hive and not just start with it open. I’ve got another video I’m working on now. 👍🏻🐝
Nice. Multiple swarms in one place is always nice. Crazy. The rooster better get busy. Enjoyed the video as always. God bless.
Started watching you today and you make a very good video…
Thank you very much, I'm delighted to hear you enjoy my videos. 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 Robert.

Mr. Ed
@@JeffHorchoff Been binge watching! I grew up in Alabama but my favorite southern accent is Louisiana and southern culture is like no where else I’ve ever been! Happy hunting!
Mr. Ed and Good Time Charlie.
Question :
Do you think that was two Swarm entrants ?
One started Comb one direction. Another came in and went at right angles to the first lot.
Seems strange they didnt (copy) continue in the usual linear fashion.
🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝
Happy Beekeeping 2023
🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝
Here in Scotland 🏴 is BEE SEASON big style.
Wow its Sunny 🌞 OK only 18c (65f) but its been like this for nearly three weeks. So Swarm was lured into a Bait Hive. My Warre Hive had x11 fabulous Capped Queen Cells. So cut out carefully with Scissors and added to Roller Cages, to Bank these Virgin Queens ! 🎉 So many Frames of Bees, so have plenty for x2 Frame Nucs pp Mating.
No Bees Swarm on my watch.
Only others Bees finding me and my Girls in my well planted Garden !
That incoming Swarm of last Monday its amazing.
They buzz from dawn until dusk. Hope another one finds us soon. Plenty of Scouts checking us and the Baited Lemon Grass Oil Box today. Watch this space. . . 😎
No, it was a single swarm, they just decided to build their comb in that fashion. Thanks for watching. God's peace.
Mr. Ed
I was reading news and they had a amusement park that must have had 2 to 3 swarms in a few days. One was on a car in the parking lot. It didn't say what happen to the bees.
Like the saying goes, "swarms happen!" I hope the ones at the park fared as well as these bees. Thanks for watching. God's peace Jake.
Mr. Ed
Thanks for sharing! Glad you got that Queen. We have been having a lot of swarms something must be going to happen in the world because bee's are very smart. Blessings 🙌 ❤
Here in the NE of the UK, we went from a cold, longer period where it was needed for some keepers to emergency feed their colonies to warm weather and speedy swarming. In fact my Association have been overcome by swarms to retrieve, and I witnessed my mentor have to do an emergency unplanned split when 2 weeks earlier, there was no signs of any pre-swarming activity. I hope the 'something' isn't majorly catastrophic to us humans!
Unreal make sure ya get as many as ya can lad. Life is short just found OT I have lost my sister. She loved ya work you have done over the years with bees cheers again for a ripper video .
My condolences on the loss of your sister, she is in my prayers. God's peace Brett.
Mr. Ed
@@JeffHorchoff cheers Jeff we all take things for granted she was only 54.
Good morning Jeff! Just getting ready to fly a full plane to SNA California from NY JFK. Perfect way to prep for flying, watching the Bee Amigo’s wrangling Bees. God bless.
At this point I wonder if the homeowner is doing it so they can see you again lol
I don't know about that, but they were grateful I was there when the swarm showed up. 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
Wow that is amazing, hoping it is also a primary swarm so you get a laying queen. Love these videos, keep them coming.
Can’t stop the Bee Master!!!! Thanks y’all!!
I have good luck with Lemon Grass also, A few drops on a cotton swab in an open sandwich bag works great. God Bless Mr. ED and Charlie
Jackpot again! LOTS of bees and more to come. Yall have a Jesus weekend and God Bless Yall!
Pretty amazing....Same thing has happened in the structure that I did my last cutout....Hope you're ready to make another trip out Roseland...😁😁
Let's wrangle buddy! God's peace Mike.
Mr. Ed
Always nice to get a two for one.
Another great video Idt is windy, raning and 47Fhere at Anchorage. There is a few bees here now, they like my water containers in the garden. God bless you and Charlie.
just so cool :)
what is it with that house. There are swarm traps around it, but still I can not get over just how many bees you have picked up there.
The swarm had moved in from the direction of the woods. They were scouting the area when we first showed up, and then the entire swarm showed up as we were finishing up.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 Brett.
Mr. Ed
G'day from Sydney Australia, it's always great to watch !!
i really enjjoy your channel me and my daughter want so bad to start bee keeping I live in pueblo colorado
I have always said the world needs as many beekeepers as it can get so I certainly hope you guys start soon. Keep watching and learning, you are going to have a blast. Thanks for watching. God's peace Eva.
Mr. Ed
@@JeffHorchoff🎉
The be numbers in that area must be huge to to have so many deaths so far all at once.
Awesome video as always Jeff, thanks for sharing. Thanks to Charlie as well!
Thank you Jeff xoxo
Beautiful comb! Y'all make my day with your enthusiasm and happy smiles.
Keep on doing what your doing, because it's so very important.
Sending positive vibes and blessings to you and yours from Northern Indiana

Greetings from SW Oklahoma! Uploads are always awesome
I'm wondering if there might really be more Bees 🐝 in the forest and also what would be involved to get a hold of them.
I can't say with certainty about other areas of the world, but here in Southeast Louisiana, there are LOTS of feral bees in the forest. God's peace Ray.
Mr. Ed
That’s pretty cool! I never knew that two colonies could live in the same spot. Will they fight?
Bees are VERY communal and can live inch from a separate hive. As long as one hive does not rob from the other, everything is fine. Thanks for watching. God's peace.
Mr. Ed
You just got to love honey 😊
I most certainly do, and I eat it every single day. 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 Boyka.
Mr. Ed
So is it just me or are those some BIG honeybees?
Not any bigger than other bees, it must have been the camera that gave the illusion. Thanks for watching. God's peace.
Mr. Ed
Mr Ed, you’re looking more and more like the Dirt Rooster while doing the cutouts. Just shed the gloves and gain about 20 pounds! lol Nothing like a Friday morning drinking coffee while watching Mr Ed and GTC.
LOL start charging the bees rent
I do charge rent, and I collect it once a year at harvest time. 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 J.
Mr. ed
the other thing is to find the Home hive that is throwing swarms
Now that would bee super cool! Thanks for watching. God's peace James.
Mr. Ed
❤
Those larvae are 6 to 8 days old based on the pics.
I had a removal last week, removed them and sealed it up. The next morning a whole new swarm was trying to get in. New queen and all. 2 colonies, one spot, within 2 days. The first removal was a hot hive, second was gentle.
Wow. Tis the season!
Us bee wranglers are living the life. Two more weeks and this will be us. Looking forward to it brother. God's peace.
Mr. Ed
@@JeffHorchoff Looking forward to it!
Old comb never beat it and yer Trudy used piping rock lemongrass 100 % pure came in 59ml bottle 3 bucks. Winner that stuff by a mile.
Mr. Ed, why won't the larvae survive?
Thank you for your wonderful content ❤
They need a good even temperature and tending. Cant get that when you do a cutout.
@@RICDirector oh, ok thank you for answering my question! I appreciate that. ☺️
They need the warmth that the hive bees provide. Once the hive bees are removed, the larva get cold and die. The good news is the queen quickly makes up for the loss and the hive continues to survive. Thanks for watching and for asking. God's peace Jane.
Mr. Ed
@@JeffHorchoff Thank you Mr. Ed ❤️❤️
So when you left those swarm boxes you were expecting to get new swarms, correct? Bringing their queens with them? And the queen you captured went with the vacuumed bees with you, not left behind? Still learning!
Correct, each swarm has their own queen, and the queen that was caged went to the hive that she came from, not to a different one. Keep learning and thanks so much for watching. 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.
Mr. Ed
I just started watching your channel. I love it. Are you a monk? Do you charge for removing swarms?
Delighted to have you watching, thank you very much. No, I am not a monk, but I do volunteer at St. Joseph Abbey in several capacities, bee keeping being the one that occupies most of my time. I do not charge for removing swarms or hives, but a donation to the abbey is greatly appreciated. God's peace Dan.
Mr. Ed
When applicable, i pack with insulation after the removal.
Since I do not do any of the repairs, that is exactly what I recommend to the homeowners as well....and to seal ALL entrances. Thanks for watching. God's peace brother.
Mr. Ed
I have a question, do bumblebees and Honeybees get along.. I did a research on bumblebees, which said bumblebees don’t store honey like honeybees do, and the bumblebees all die off each year except for the Queens, who borrow in the winter.
You are more of an expert on bumble bees than I am, but I do know they do not store honey...but they will eat it. Heck, I did not know they die off each year save for the queen. Thanks for watching and informing. God's peace Susie.
Mr. Ed
I will need to get rid of a hornets nest in a few months when I replace a roof deck.
I strongly recommend a good wasp spray that shoots a stream from abut 20 feet away.....especially on a roof. 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 Steven.
Mr. Ed
Because I just set up a beehive with honey I squatted in there so will it attract honey bees.
If the owners had bee be gone or another repellent sprayed in there as part of the repair, would the repellent last any amount of time?
No it would not, maybe a day or two, but after that, it would be like it was never used. There is no product on the market to mask the smell of where a hive has been. God's peace Larry.
Mr. Ed
Very nice with a bonus swarm, I did two in the last two days and the comb was just like yours very white and not capped over I think it might be to humid for them to cap it yet. Doing another one today at 9 am that will be much older and much larger.
Do you mind if I ask what date the cutout was, thanks again for making my morning coffee even better.
March 11
Keep on wrangling those bees brother! The removal was on March 11 of this year. God's peace Dennis.
Mr. Ed
wait is that the 4th time for that home.
Yes it is which is why I put the traps up, I don't want to open the ceiling again. God's peace Brett.
Mr. Ed
Just finished watching another great video of yours with Good Time Charlie (the GTC).
One question that I have is do you quarantine your new bees before putting them near your older hives or do you have enough room that this is not a problem?
I do not quarantine the bees. They go from where ever they come from right into out bee yard and I have never had issues doing that. Thanks for watching. God's peace Garry.
Mr. Ed
Hi Mr Ed, many thanks for the reply. Christian love. Garry.
hello
Hi. Always love your videos. Just wondering what becomes of the bees left behind like field bees. Do they search for another colony or die off? I realize there may be no answer to this question but thanks for your time. PS just ignore the “annoyed” one not worth your energy !!
Generally, the field bees left behind will find another hive to call home. As long as they come to stay and not rob, they are welcomed. Thanks for your kind words and for watching. Until the next one, God's peace Joyce.
Mr. Ed
So I don't know if the information on Google is correct or what....
But, do bees fill up their bellies with honey before they swarm?
Yes, bees gorge themselves before leaving as that is the only resources they bring with them to start again. It's been a while since I have heard from you, thanks so much for leaving a comment and for watching. God's peace Barbara.
Mr. Ed
What is your method when using lemon grass oil for swarm traps
A few drops of lemongrass oil on each end of a Q tip and drop it into the trap. Then, a few more on the top of the frames and close it up. That's it. Thanks for watching. God's peace.
Mr. Ed
What were the very dark areas in the comb, pollen?
That is what it was. Thanks for asking and for watching. Until the next time, God's peace.
Mr. Ed
You are crazy. Just curious, how many times have you been stung?
Actually, all beekeepers are a bit crazy because getting stung is just a part of it. There is no telling how many times I have been stung, but the good news is I did not get stung today. Thanks for watching. God's peace Jeanne.
Mr. Ed
Hi! Mr. Jeff I have a question for you . I have some honey I got about 11 years ago. I open it one time then I closed it up and didn’t touch since. My question is would it be still good to eat .
Honey can stay good forever if stored properly. So smell it, if it doesn’t smell off and there’s no mold on it then it’s fine.
@@mbgal7758 thank you
I'll say this Tony, when one of the tombs in Egypt were opened and honey that had been buried there was discovered, it was still good. Because honey will not grow bacteria, it is the ONLY natural substance that will do that, it will never go bad. Thanks for watching. God's peace brother.
Mr. Ed
@@JeffHorchoff I check it out it look watery and it at some black cloudy something in it I don’t think it’s raw honey so I thrown it away I heard about the one in Egypt that why I ask you thank you

I've got lots of vacancies, come on in girls! Thanks for watching. God's peace Joseph.

What is this spray, plz tell me
It is called "Honey Bandit" and I buy it from Mann Lake Bee Supply 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 Shabir.
Mr. Ed
@@JeffHorchoff yes of course
What are the specific uses of "honey bandit"
Hate the pausing of each frame. I keep thinking you have spotted the queen. We can see hte comb you collect. Pausing is annoying.
Why don’t you just watch someone else. You’re what’s annoying.
I appreciate your opinion, thank you for letting me know and for watching the video. God's peace Ian.
