    Anyone for a honey shower? Well, me either but sometimes it's mjust got to happen. I was so glad when this removal was over and I could get home to shower off. Surprisingly, my hair and skin were silky smooth after my shower. Thanks for watching. God's peace to all.

    Would've been cool to see an up close view of the drone bees. I mean, they look derpy as all heck but outside of the beekeeping hobby, you don't ever really see them, especially alive.
    Those cells were three c's worth of thicc. Gorgeous looking too. Looks like you've caught another wonderful addition to your honey farm.

    • @JeffHorchoff
      @JeffHorchoff  3 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      I regret not showing the density of drones in this hive, almost unbelievable. Still, the worker bees outnumbered them at least 5 to one. You are correct, these bees will be a very welcome addition in our yard. Thanks for watching. God's peace.

During the Viet Nam war, The B-52s went over our house so low, you thought the wheels would touch the roof!. My father was a Navy pilot in WW2 and Korea. He served in the Pacific flying PBY, PB4Y, and P2V aircraft. Thank you for your service, Charlie. God Bless.

    You need some scaffolding so you can get your equipment closer to you on these ceiling hives! Would save time and trips up and down the ladder. You could have good footing, have your table, coolers, vacuum and hive box closer to you too!!!

    • @JeffHorchoff
      @JeffHorchoff  3 หลายเดือนก่อน

      I have some excellent scaffolding that I use frequently, however, when there is limited space as there was on this removal, a ladder is a much better choice to do the removal on. Plus, a lot easier to clean up and set 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.

    Charlie thank you for your service my brother. I was a truck driver it used to be 64 Charlie but now it's 88 mike. Love watching y'all work the bees. My grandpa used to have a bee hive I loved that honey. He had a milk cow too and my grandma used to make butter. They went so good together with toast or a biscuit. I miss my grandparents so bad. I practically grew up with them. I didn't get to see all of what my grandpa did to take care of his bees but I wanted to learn I was just too young. That was back in the 70s. Thanks for your hard work in making these videos. God bless you both

    Y'all may be exhausted and think have some dis-spirited thoughts, but from my clean and cozy spot in the bleachers all I could think throughout that capture was "put a gold star on that hive!"
    The size/thickness of that comb. The look of that queen. The population. The temperament (that queen walked into the cage!). The amount of honey stores still there at winter's end. That is a hive you want to take splits off of and expand that bloodline.

      Well, there was not a lot of space for the bees, but after adding the second deep box, they had a bit of wiggle room after. Still, it did fill up 2 deeps with bees and comb. God's peace brother.

Charlie does great video work. Really impressive hive. To clean you suit take it to a car wash and clip it on the floor mat hooks. Power wash it there.
