There are always surprises when it comes to wrangling bees, but this surprise really caught me off guard. I knew this hive was going to be a large one, but I had no idea it was going to bee as large as it turned out. Not only was the hive massive, the queen played hide and seek with me for over 3 hours. In the end, we removed 2 ice chests of comb, which I have already rendered and plan on announcing a surprise concerning it, more than 60 pounds of capped honey, 15,000 plus bees, and an extremely large butted queen, thank you Jesus!
Also, I spend time explaining the particulars of my bee vac. I am always asked questions concerning the bee vac that I use, and I used this cut out to explain and demonstrate the vac in action. For those who are interested in learning a bit more about the bee vac, I will include a link to the video I made showing how to build one for yourself.
Because this video ran so long, I did not include any swarm catches this time, and since our swarm season is about wrapping up, I will be concluding the catches within the next 2 videos. More than 20 folks have send in their catches, so I will probable break it up over the next 2 weeks. Thanks to all who have sent in their pictures, it was really great to see all the action. God's peace to all. Mr. Ed
Link to Robo Vac video: • Got bees? Get a Robo vac.
Great video. I have ZERO interest in keeping bees and I don't even eat honey but your videos are very entertaining. And I don't think I'm nearly as frightened of bees as I used to be. God's peace, brother!
I love comments like yours because it's folks like yourself that continue to inspire me to continue on making and sharing my videos. Thank you so much for your kind words and support. Till the next time, God's peace.
Mr. Ed
Jeff, if I had to rate your videos, this is one of the BEST. Your explanation of the vac is so helpful and answered so many questions. I'm going to build another vac and wil incorporate some of your ideas.
Of course, the removal was fantastic. I look forward to your excitement when the queen is found and caught. Can't wait for the other two removals go in the shed.
Keep them coming. 😎🐝🐝🐝
Thank you for the compliment as well as for watching a very long video, it is greatly appreciated. God's peace Gary.
Mr. Ed
Why, well you know some get their brains on special at Walmart, if they even have them...
I’m so thankful for you and other super bee keepers put these videos up! When I first started watching I thought I could just put a hive in my backyard and sit back to enjoy watching them. The bees would do all the work of staying alive and happy. You have probably saved a hive of abused bees!
Glad to give another perspective, and happy that you realize there is more to it than sticking bees in a box. Still, it's worth all the effort. God's peace Wanda.
Mr. Ed
Jeff, you have one of the very best bee channels anywhere in the world, thanks from here in eastern sea board Australia where the flow is on... Big thumbs up, thanks mate...
Thank you so very much for your kind words Adam, they are greatly appreciated as is the fact of you watching so many of my wrangling adventures. Keep watching, I'll bee making more. God's peace brother.
Mr. Ed
I made a similar bee vac, but my vac gate at the bottom is screened for ventilation. I also use a bee hive box as well. I use a screened top for the first few days and feed as needed
Great modifications David, I bet you love your bee vac like I love mine. Thanks for watching. God's peace brother.
Mr. Ed
Why would anyone ask about whether the vac was hurting the bees. Anyone who watched any of your videos know you are a master bee keeper. Why would you do something that would kill the bees when you want to get them to keep? Anyway excellent video. God bless you.
Woodwork, honeybees, vacuum expert, ur a jack of all trades. Thanks for a great explanation.
The more hats a bee keeper wears, the better the wrangling. God's peace.
Mr. Ed
I'm more knowledgeable than I was before I watched this. Thanks Jeff.
The pleasure is all mine Joey. God's peace.
Mr. Ed
The fundamental principle is managing velocity through managing area. The box and screen have a large area and hence slow airflow while the hose has a much smaller area and hence a much faster airflow.
Great explanation, thanks for that and for watching. God's peace Peter.
Mr. Ed
I just came across this video and I just wanna let you know that what you are doing for the bees is the best thing I’ve ever seen like u aren’t killing them or tearing apart their hive and this is what bees deserve only the best of care while removing their hives, keep up the good work God Bless🙏🏼
Hi Mr. Ed, 👍outstanding video, thank you for sharing and taking good 😄care of the bees.
GOD🙏🙏 bless you.
EDUARDO MIAMI FL 🇺🇸
Thank you so much for your blessing, it is greatly appreciated, and I am so glad you like watching my bee wrangling adventures. God's peace Eduardo.
Mr. Ed
@@JeffHorchoff 🙏🙏👍👍👍😀😀
Great explanation of how the bee vac works. Thank you Mr Ed.
Thank you for walking the viewers through the Bee Vac. I always had wondered how it worked and did not kill the bees. Now I know.
I'm happy to share the knowledge. Thanks for watching. God's peace Pamela.
Mr. Ed
very helpful. this is our first year with Bees and we are learning all we can.
The world needs as many beekeepers as it can get, thank you for taking up the challenge...and thank you so much for following along. Looking forward to hearing from you again soon, and remember, I post a new video every Friday. God's peace.
Mr. Ed
Subscriber-Notifier-Liker here. I love your videos. I am going to build a vacuum to have around for our beekeeping adventures. Man - that was a HUGE hive.. I am surprised that there weren't 2-3 queens in there. Definitely good genetics. Thank You for sharing!
So glad you have discovered my channel Joe and enjoy the content. I'm looking forward to hearing from you again and answering your questions. Just wanted to let you know, besides being a bee keeper, I am also a woodworker and volunteer in a casket building operation at St. Joseph Abbey in Covington, La. One of the great things about working there is we have 2 CNC's that do all our material cutting. The shop is a very modern one, and we just added another 4,000 feet to it to accommodate the addition of another species of wood, mahogany, to our line of caskets. The link below is for a video I made showing the 6 largest removals I did last year, I think you may enjoy watching. Until the next time. God's peace brother.

Good to see you back, Jeff! (Was worried about you when last Friday came & went without a video from you.) Thank you for another great video. This will help many build their own bee vacs and save countless bees. Big hug to you from California. (Thank you, Jesus, for your bee guardian & wrangler Jeff!)
I just took 2 weeks off, but I'm recharged and ready to go, thank you Jesus! Thank you for your kind words and hugs Gilda. Till next week, God's peace.
Mr. Ed
Very good explanation of the bee vacuum and how to operate it. Simple and clear.
Thank you for taking the time and trouble to prepare and post this video.
Thank you Jesus!
Amen to that. Thanks for watching. God's peace.
Mr. Ed
Amen 🙌🙌
Well presented Jeff.....
Thank you very much for saying that Mark, your comment is greatly appreciated. I hope you will check out more of my wrangling adventures and share your thoughts on them as well. Thanks for watching. God's peace brother.
Mr. Ed
Hey now, swarm season hasn't even started up here yet! 😉Good to see a video; you were missed last week!
If you catch a swarm, send me the shot.....as long as you get your face in the picture. Great to know I was missed. God's peace Kelly. Mr. Ed
Absolutely; one of my cats loves watching your videos more than I do, I think, and she comes running every morning to see if I'm going to have you'n'bees for her to purr to. 😊 (And you absolutely won't see me catching a swarm! I'm afraid I'm in the small population of OH NO BEES *dies from allergies*. I just know that the beekeepers I follow up here in the Northeast haven't even had a spring flow yet! VinoFarm and Emmymade have both been posting videos about it.)
I'm happy to supply your cat with all the bee wrangling it can handle, I wish more cats were like yours. By the way, one of my other jobs here at the abbey is feeding the cats. There were 4, but we lost 2 in the last 4 weeks to old age. God's peace Kelly.
Mr. Ed
My condolences to you and the brothers at the Abbey, Jeff; losing a furry one is always hard, even if you know you've given them a beautiful life. ❤️
Hello Jeff! Great information on the Bee Vac. Thanks for the video!
I really appreciated learning how the bee vac works. And, I'm forever amazed at your hive removals. Lot's of greatness packed into this video! Thanks for all you do Mr. Ed! God Bless always!
You're amazing. I just started cutouts and enjoy every minute. You're my inspiration. I'm on bee rescue #2 and no queen, more to come.
Good for you Mandy, go save those bees and grow your bee yard. Congratulations, and may your successes continue. God's peace.
Mr. Ed
Thanks for the detailed explanation of your bee vac. I built one some time ago and have used it a few times. I need to add the rubber sealing material to mine. I have been using blue painters tape.
One thing I struggle with I how much vacuum to bleed off so I don’t harm the bees traveling through the corrugated hose. Sometime when you are setting up your unit, please show us how much suction you use by putting your hand over the end of the hose and slowly pulling it away. That is the only way I can think of to get an idea of the amount of suction being created by the unit I have.
Thanks for another great video.
To test my vacuum, I put the hose tip to my cheek. If it's strong enough to gently lift my cheek, it's OK for the bees. God's peace Larry.
Mr. Ed
I'm very happy to see you back Mr. Ed. Broke out in a huge smile when I saw the notification that you'd uploaded. Another grand job you did and now I know how a bee vac works. God bless.
I love making folks smile with the videos and I really appreciate the blessings. Always look forward to your comments. God's peace EG.
Mr. Ed
Thanks for the explaining Jeff Excellent video
So glad you enjoyed the video Murray, and I hope you will check out more of my wrangling adventures and let me know what you think of them as well. By the way, I post new videos every Friday. Thanks for watching. God's peace brother.
Mr. Ed
@@JeffHorchoff I'm fascinated by your work with the bees, you have skills and knowledge, Love the way you work with the other bee keepers too ! Take care stay well.
The best vac out there! I built one last year and it is awesome!
Yes indeed! God's peace Terry.
Mr. Ed
An easy way to attach the box parts together would be to use old style window sash locks to fasten them securely .
Very good idea, thanks for the suggestion and for watching. Till the next time, God's peace.
Mr. Ed
There's a lot of thought put into your vac and its process, while taking care to take proper care of the bees. Good for you! : )
Thanks for your kind words and for watching. God's peace J Jo.
Mr. Ed
Awesome job jeff
Thanks Daniel, and thanks for watching. God's peace.
Mr. Ed
Wow! That's a sizable hive. Great job Mr. Ed!!
It was a real surprise to find the entire hive. Thanks for watching. God's peace Danielle.
Mr. Ed
I love your bee vac. Hudge hive for sure. Stay awesome n God bless you and your family
Good bees, great bee vac, and awesome God....the correct combination for a super day of be wrangling. Your blessing is greatly appreciated. God's peace.
Mr. Ed
your work is amazing sir! A real education.
Hello! Good to have you back, and what an excellent video. Your explanation of the bee vac is very illuminating. Very clear. Thank you for that. And what an interesting hive! Long thin comb. Bees are so clever. Have a blessed week Jeff. God even gave you another queen! I am a believer. 🐝🐝🐝
Oh my word!!!! What a wall of bees and honeycomb and what an excellent way to build your beevac.....You can tell the dirt rooster I said you were now a "genius"......lol
The bee vac is a necessary tool to remove bees safely, and this is the best one out there for my purposes. God's peace Mary.
Mr. Ed
This was very informational and entertaining at the same time. I love The positivity on this channel. Keep it up and also I’m like a huge honeycomb and bee fan so this channel is ❤️
Thank you so much for your kind and supportive words. I post new videos every Friday, and they are always on bees. Looking forward to hearing from you again on the next one. God's peace. Mr. Ed
👌
Great video. Thanks for the tips and clear instructions.
You are very welcome, I'm happy you found it helpful. The video link below is on how I built the bee vac in case you are interested. Thanks for watching, and I hope you will check out more of my over 500 bee wrangling/ bee rescue adventure videos and let me know what you think of them. By the way, I post a new video almost every Friday morning, and I look forward to hearing from you again soon. God's peace Andrew.

Havent been back to this channel for a while due to college, glad to see its still as enjoyable as i remember. God bless ya and your bees
Welcome back, you have been missed, but I have to admit, college is more important. Thanks for the visit, and I hope it happens more frequently. God's peace.
Mr. Ed
i love hearing you say thank you jesus
You are the best Mr Ed!
Thanks for the link Mr Ed. That was very useful & I'll make one up this winter. I'm not sure how or if I should show you my original workshop vac with the bee veil used to catch the remaining swarm as I don't seem to be able to share images with your site here. Your videos are great work & so informative. Thank you and cheers. Gervase.
I'm happy to share my adventures and what little knowledge I have on bees and equipment. Thanks for watching. God's peace.
Mr. Ed
Thank you for interesting video. Best greetings from beekeepers in Ukraine!
Dr. Victor, what an honor that you follow my channel, thank you for watching and commenting. I hope all is well with you and your bees. God's peace brother.
Mr. Ed
Great video Jeff. Big hive. I use my vacuum base on top and let the bees move down into the box. Great explanation for the bee vac. Lots of help.
As the saying goes, there's more than one way to skin a cat, and when it comes to wrangling bees, it still applies. Thanks for watching. God's peace.
Mr. Ed
Hey Jeff... Love your channel!! I'd never really had any interest in bee keeping but your video came up on my feed randomly and I've been hooked ever since!! Fantastic stuff interesting, fun, educational!! My 4 year old daughter asks for the bee man videos every time I use my phone... Keep up the good work 👍 peace and love from England ❤️
Wow, thanks so much for your kind words and for sharing my bee wrangling adventures with your daughter, that's really cool. I'll keep making the videos as long as you keep watching. Till the next time, God's peace Martin and daughter.
Mr. Ed
Thanks for the updated vac video. You said very little about your vac hose. I used a cheap hose on my vac (a copy of your vac) and it whistles badly unless the hose is near straight. Had to toss it and buy another.
I found that the "whistling" noise emanates from the hose tip. By using a larger tip, the whistle disappears, at least that's what I found. God's peaceMax.
Mr. Ed
Nicely presented Jeff....
Glad you liked it Mark, there's alway a good time when it comes to wrangling bees. Thanks for watching. God's peace brother.
Mr. Ed
What an incredible hive! Section 1 was impressive enough and then... wow.
It was large with lots of bees, honey and comb. I have to admit, when I saw the size of the second section, I was surprised myself. God's peace Nathan.
Mr. Ed
Lucky again in the capture of the queen, as most always you are succesfull, really liked the information on the bee vac. God bless you and all of your bees, we still have no bees here in Alaska, I have lots of flowers in the greenhouse but no bees, but they will come soon.
You cold weather folks sure have it rough. Thanks for your blessing and for always following along Richard. God's peace brother.
Mr. Ed
Love your channel Jeff! And love your positive and beautiful spirit even more!! Have a good long Memorial Day weekend.
I'm so happy you are always checking in on me LD. I'll be wrangling bees Memorial Day so you know I'm going to have fun. God's peace sister.
Mr. Ed
great explanation on the bee vac- ive wanted to know how they work from the get go-- and man what a Queen you took on that one-- i hope she makes lots of babies and the hive thrives-- much love... Glo
As always, great to hear from you Glo. Good bees and a great queen, these bees are destined for production.....at least I hope so. God's peace.
Mr. Ed
Wow what a huge hive. Thank you for the detailed description of the vacuum. Awesome
It was large, and the queen went right along with it being large herself. Thanks for watching Tom. God's peace.
Mr. Ed
Great explanation of the bee vac - I've watched you use it a lot but now I understand it much better. I'm guessing you will have two more videos to get the rest of those bees out of that shed! This one was huge, very narrow but a lot of comb, and you know that queen was happy to get back to her babies, even happier when you let her bees join her! Job well done, thank you!
I will do another removal from this shed tomorrow, and of course there will bee a video on it. Stay tuned. God's peace Julie.
Mr. Ed
I think that’s a great idea to have handles on the boxes all boxes I no your chatting about the bee vacc
Another bless video Mr.Ed! Learn so much! Have a bless day!
This was an outstanding video Jeff!!! Thanks so much! You answered many questions Ive had while watching your previous videos but never asked and soooo many more things I never (but should have) thought of. Thanks Jeff!
It’s a good video, and a good explanation of the vacuum. I’m not knowledgeable enough to know about the actual act of vacuuming, and you didn’t do that on camera, so I’ll have to guess about how that works. Thank you. I like learning about beekeeping. Seeing the vacuum in action might be a good sequel.
I have lots of videos showing the actual vacuuming of bees, and there was some on this video as well. I will say this, there is a bit of talent in doing so, but like most things, one gets better with practice. God's peace Paul.
Mr. Ed
Jeff Horchoff Bees thank you
Now that was just biutiful. From equipment to the job to final product. Well done. Long awaiting video I was looking for. God bless Mr Ed.
Thank you for your blessing and kind words, they are greatly appreciated. God's peace.
Mr. Ed
Hello from Indiana. Great video!
Good morning to you as well. So glad you liked the video, and thanks so much for watching. God's peace.
Mr. Ed
Thanks a lot - great video ... you have answered my questions about your vacuum system.
That flir camera is awesome
I never go on a wrangling adventure without it. It locates the bees very well. Thanks for watching. God's peace Kyle.
Mr. Ed
Excellent job on the video. Appropriate the break down of the vac. Blessings!
I'm happy to pass on the little knowledge I have, thanks for taking the time to watch and leave a comment. God's peace Eric.
Mr. Ed
7:37 There's no pressure inside here.
9:48 pressure holds box together.
Does not compute!
Thanks for the fascinating video, I've been curious about the vac for a while.
I noticed that the gate at the bottom of the bee vac was closed when he turned the vacuum on. The strap across the top of the box is a real good idea when that gate is open.
@@martyking6942 good point. I think even with the gate open is actually a constant pressure (otherwise there would be no suction from the tube), but because the area in the box is much wider than the tube, the air inside is much calmer. Similar to a lake with a river flowing into and out of it.
@@adam.millerchip you are correct. Once the bees reach the inside of the box the air expands out rapidly and the vacuum is decreased slowing the rush of the air toward the motor.
The pressure is all in the hose, once the bees are "dumped" into the box, it is as if it were dead air inside of the box. God's peace. Mr. Ed
Good morning Ed from Michigan, I Love it when you say by the Grace of God. Only because we all are under HIS GRACE even if so many don't realize what HE did for us. Also when you give the Glory to JESUS. You had your hands full with this hive. Glad to see you had help. GOD BLESS You today and each and every day. Bee well Ed LOL 🕆
Good morning to you as well Sandy! Everything is grace, I just try to live in that thought all day long, and even that desire is grace as well. God's peace.
Mr. Ed
Congratulations Mr Ed sir
Wow! That was a job! I saw you with the Dirt Rooster on Instagram. Thank you for all your time. 💝💝💝
We had a blast yesterday, and we will be doing it again soon. He'll be posting a video on the visit, but not me. I will have something from the visit as a add on to one of mine. God's peace Chelsea.
Mr. Ed
OH! Vacation...whew! Welcome back! :)
And it was a VERY good one, I think I did 3 or 4 cut outs and caught 2 or 3 swarms. I do love wrangling bees. God's peace.
Mr. Ed
Hey Jeff. Good to see you back. You had us worried when you didn't post last week. Another great informative video as usual. Keep it up. I look forward to your Friday posts. God Bless you and I pray your bees will provide you a bountiful harvest to subsidize the Abby ………..
Thank you for your blessing and concern Ken, they are greatly appreciated. Till next week, God's peace brother.
Mr. Ed
Great video probably one of the best videos I have watched of yours I sure do like your bee vac setup
Thanks for posting the explanation of your BeeVac. I just watched one of your latest videos using it and I'm so happy to find this!
Do you think that if you didn't manage to find the Queen and just vacuumed her up with the rest of the Bees, that she and the hive would still survive?
I usually do vacuum the queen if I do not find her as was the case in this video. As long as the queen goes with the bees, it's a pretty good bet the hive can survive the ordeal. The link below is on how I built my bee vac. Thanks for watching. God's peace. Mr. Ed
th-cam.com/video/tV3mR39v6RA/w-d-xo.html
Thank you Jeff. So happy I found your videos. I'm still watching your older videos, but trying to keep up on the new. God bless you for making these. I've learned a lot from them. I'm sure with all this information I can catch swarms also. And thank you Jeff. God bless.
Thank you for your blessing, your kind words, and for taking the time to watch and leave a comment. Looking forward to hearing from you again Melvin. God's peace.
Mr. Ed
Jeff I love to use my Bee Vac to recuse Bee’s!!!!
You and me both sister. Thanks for checking in, it's always good to hear from you Sally. God's peace. Mr. Ed
"Fat Butted Queen" Is going to be my new persona 👌 Such wonderful and pure videos as always, Mr. Ed!! Thanks for explaining the vac to us, that was really fascinating.
I get caught up in the moment and then words come out of my mouth. Still, it was pretty funny. Thanks for watching. God's peace.
Mr. Ed
Great video,missed you last week.
Ingenious! Love the explanation for all the details
So glad you enjoyed the details, I certainly enjoy explaining things. Till the next time, keep watching and enjoying. God's peace Dawn.
Mr. Ed
This is the vid I was waiting for - its nice to know how it works
Enjoyed the video and the tutorial on the Bee vacuum. That is interesting how it works.Thank you for taking the time to produce the video. Y'all take care and God bless.
Thank you for your blessing and kind words Ron. Till the next time, God's peace.
Mr. Ed
Great information on your bee vac. That hive was HUGE! I was waiting for the swarm capture pics at the end. You must’ve been busy 😊
It's been VERY busy down here, but things are getting back to normal. Swarm pictures to resume next week. God's peace.
Mr. Ed
Jeff, você é o cara não perdo nenhum dos seus vídeos aqui no Brasil ,parabéns. 👏👏👏👏👍👍👍👍👍👍👍🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝👍👍👍👍👍
Não posso agradecer o suficiente por suas amáveis palavras e por tomar um tempo para assistir minhas aventuras disputando abelhas, muito obrigado. A paz de Deus.
Mr. Ed
That one really looked like you could've immediately put a second super on it with all those bees. I'd be afraid confining that many bees to one box they'd just instantly swarm away from lack of space.
The good news is that they were given a second super the following day. God's peace.
Mr. Ed
Great video jeff. I know a few modifications I'm going to make to my bee vac now.
I wasn't sure you'd get the queen on this one. With that tin siding she could have gone anywhere. Good job!
I hope the explanations were good enough for you to understand. The principle is very straight forward, but I tend to get wobbly walking in a straight line. God's peace.
Mr. Ed
Aha you got the same jacket modell as me. I let some bees in and them helps me keeping my back cool and ventilated. Feels good sweaty days. Regards frome Sweden
As cool as it is in Sweden, you probably only need one bee in there to do the trick. As hot as it is here in Louisiana, I need 100 in there just to feel a tiny breeze. Thanks for watching. God' peace Bub.
Mr. Ed
An excellent descriptive video Jeff. Thankyou!
Glad you liked the video and I hope you will find the material useful. Thanks for watching. God's peace.
Mr. Ed
Fantastic work Mr. Ed! Im always looking forward to your Friday videos. I was a bit worried about you last week lol
No worries, I'm back on track. Till next week, God's peace Chris.
Mr. Ed
WOW! Amazing video as usual. Thanks for explaining how the bee vac works.
Glad to share a bit of knowledge and tips on the bee vac. Thanks for watching. God's peace Mary Lou.
Mr. Ed
Good job.. Mr Ed God bless you. 🕇
The largest queen I have ever seen, wow!
A keeper for sure! Thanks for watching. God's peace Steven.
Mr. Ed
This helps explain how exterminators remove wasps, hornets and yellowjackets with a vacuum (but with greater vacuum pressure, which you want in those cases).
They do use them, but like you said, they don't bleed off any suction as it does not matter if it kills the insect. 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 Ann.
Mr. Ed
As usual a great video and explanation of the Robo vac . I hope you had a great week off and I know a lot of people ( me included) missed last weeks video. Keep up the good work and God Bless
Thank you for your blessing and understanding Michael. Till next time, God's peace brother.
Mr. Ed
That hive is huge!
I guess there were over 20,000 bees in this hive. Yes, it is VERY large. God's peace.
Mr. Ed
Mr Ed I love watching these video's. I love when you say Thank you Jesus it blesses my heart. Great job. May God continue to bless the work of your hands🙏🙏💗
I'm more than happy to share the joy of the risen Christ, Thank you so much for taking the time to follow along and leave a comment. Till next time, God's peace Denischa.
Mr. Ed
Thanks for sharing Mr.ED 10-5-2021👏🏽👏🏽❤️❤️👍🏽👍🏽💕💕
I really enjoy your videos, Christ Character, and Love for Beekeeping.... A pleasure to watch and learn.🥇
Could you do a follow-up video showing how the bees join up the different sections of comb where you put four in each frame. I'm interested to see how the hex pattern matches up comb to comb.
I will try and show that, it takes several weeks for them to complete the work, but they do join everything together. Thanks for the idea and for watching. God's peace.
Mr. Ed
Very informative Mr.Ed.
You tried to explain it toward the end of video, but I’m still a bit confused. What if the main box of the bee-vac was just a regular one of your super boxes. This way, you wouldn’t have to transfer the bees out of the bee-vac, just swap out the main box for another empty.
There is only one screen, and it's to keep the bees separated from the vacuum head. It is the same screen that is removed to allow the bees to crawl onto the comb when the bees are released. Thanks for watching. God's peace David.
Mr. Ed
My bees are doing well. I wish I could add hives like this to my very small (one hive) collection
I'm happy to hear your bees are well. Keep watching my wrangling adventures, and you will learn enough to go get bees for yourself as I have done. I wish you well. God's peace Heather.
Mr. Ed
crazy how you always find the queen
It's a grace for sure. God's peace.
Mr. Ed
It must be Friday -excellent as always
You know it's Friday! God's peace brother.
Mr. Ed
Whoa! Beautiful circles of brood!!! WOW
It is always a treat to see how bees build comb and then fill it out. Thanks for watching. God's peace Barb.
Mr. Ed
I was thinking that the screen piece could be perfected more, instead of sliding the mesh sheet, keep it fixed in place, make an little aperture on it and close it with a sliding piece of aluminium/steel sheet. I think that way it would be easier to handle
A very thin, solid, perforated sheet of aluminum or steel would be the ideal refinement as the hardware cloth does prove difficult to reinsert. God's peace Matteo.
Mr. Ed
Gosh Mr Ed that Combe is long god bless
