Oh yeah, it's another larger hive...and they are not happy! I hope you all enjoy how we removed this hive, it was pretty cool. And now, the bees with their new queen are doing great. Thanks for watching. God's peace to all.
Mr. Ed
“This is definitely not making them happy” is the greatest understatement I’ve ever heard!!!,
A beekeepers wit...while running away from stinging bees. 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 Mary-Ruth.
Mr. Ed
This is more how I remember bees in earlier videos from Mississippi and Louisiana being. Wet bees are dead bees, cold bees are pissed off.
Good morning at the office God bless you both
I bet there are a lot of folks out there who wish their office looked like mine and Charlie's. Thank you for your blessings and for watching. Until the next one, God's peace Patrick.
Mr. Ed.
The world needs more Charlie. What a friend indeed. Thanks for making our week with your video.
For real, none of my friends would stand in the middle of that.
@@InsaneFirebat off topic but fun to see a super metroid fan in my fave bee wrangling channel
The way you rubber band your frames is very smart and it makes a lot of sense. Thank you.
By using the larger rubber band it makes the job so much easier to do. Thanks for watching. God's peace brother.
Mr. Ed
.This was no different than most of your videos, it was great . Lots of bees. God bless all of you. It is a real warm 52f here today, most of the snow is gone.
I just got off the phone with a guy from Anchorage and he told me the same thing about the snow. Glad to hear winter is finally leaving you. Thank you for your blessings and for watching. God's peace Richard.
Mr. Ed
Thanks Jeff and Charlie. I get good ideas from you. I’ve just got 7 or 8 hives. But last year I got over 700 lbs of honey-wow that was a lot of work. I can’t imagine 6000 pounds. God bless you both. 😅
Delighted to be of assistance to you, it warms my heart hearing our efforts do make a difference. Wow, what a haul of honey from your bees, congratulations! Thank you for your blessings and for watching. God's peace brother.
Mr. Ed
Great video! Interesting idea putting the Honey Bandit in the smoker.
If it had swarmed, it would have been a monster!
I'm glad you were able to collect all of those resources. Have a blessed week!
Putting the Honey Bandit in the smoker is an old trick many bee wranglers use, it allows the smell of the Honey Bandit to do it's job while not harming bees as it surrounds them. Yes indeed, I bet that swarm was HUGH! Thank you for your blessings and for watching. Until the next one, God's peace Steven.
Mr. Ed
6:29 -- My goodness, those bees were angry.
Wow! Jeff and Charlie, that's an incredible, massive hive! Truly unbelievable!!
Charlie and I are so blessed to come across such wonderful works of creation, and even though it is a lot of hard work, sweat, and stings, we would not want to be doing anything else. We were born to be bee wranglers. Thanks for watching. God's peace Dan.
Mr. Ed
I’ve been in such a bad mood today and watching you and good time Charlie has turned my mood around! Thank you for your infectious wonderful positivity you always exude!!! Peace be with you Mr Ed!!
Happy to have been there when you needed it. God's peace always Leo.
Mr. Ed
We love Mr Ed and Good Time Charlie !!!! Can’t wait to see y’all when we come for the visit !!! See you soon ..Lynn
If there is one thing Charlie and I love doing more than wrangling bees, it's meeting the good folks that follow along with our adventures, looking forward to meeting you guys as well. Thanks for watching. God's peace Lynn.
Mr. Ed
That hive was massive. Goes to show you what hard workers bees are. They just keep on working no matter what’s going on in the world. I love it!
It would seem to be a good time to replace the queen with one from a gentle hive...
I did that a week ago and the bees have calmed down drastically. 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
Great idea with the Honey Bandit in the smoker! First time I’ve ever seen that Mr. Ed! Always learning! 😊
It is a great trick at getting to bees that are otherwise unreachable. Happy to pass along the idea. Thanks for watching. God's peace Beverly.
Mr. Ed
you guys should be on television.
We are waiting for the invitation. Thanks for watching. God's peace Rick.
Mr. Ed
HOLY BLEEP!! THAT'S HUGE! I can't wait to watch this after seeing the thermal thingy.
A monster hive for sure, and after a bit, the bees calmed down drastically. So much so that we were able to frame up the comb in short sleeves. 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
Good morning, Mr. Ed. Looks like another massive hive. Great to see another wonderful video.
It seems Charlie and I are having a lot of large removals right now, mI certainly hope it is not a future trend. After all, me and Charlie are old. Glad to hear you enjoyed the video, thank you for watching. God's peace brother.
Mr. Ed
Hi Mr Ed and good time Charlie that’s huge good luck you can do it god bless you
The bees really got after Charlie 🤣 and that comb really framed up nice. ❤
Actually, the bees got the camera, luckily, Charlie escaped the onslaught. Yes, the comb did frame up very nicely, and that has a lot to do with the yellow measuring board I use. It does a great job on getting a very accurate measurement. 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
Love you guys, your films are the best to wait for. God Jesus bless you guys
So I've just finished watching and given thumbs up to every TH-cam video you've posted. Now I'll have to wait for weekly updates lol.
WOW! That's over 600 videos, you have been spending a lot of time watching, thank you for that! Don't forget, each Friday is another adventure. Until then. God's peace brother.
Mr. Ed
That was a massive hive and you failed see the "Don't Disturb Bee's" sign the bee's hung outside the hive.😆 Never seen Good Time Charlie vacate the area so quickly. Did a great job getting those girls under control and clearing out the hive. Great video and thanks for sharing. God Bless you both!!
I saw the sign, I just don't know how to read "bee writings." Next time I see a sign like that I will remember what it means. In all the years I have been knowing Charlie, I never saw him move so quickly. I'm telling you, there was a cloud of bees all over the camera. Thank you for your blessings and support. God's peace Phil.
Mr. Ed
You boys make the best bee content! What a pair 😊
I just saw a video from Africa where they are using beehives to keep elephants at bay (and safe from human settlements) which is a win for nature. They hang the hives on cables between miles of poles, so other animals can cross but elephants would disturb the hives. And elephants fear bees even more than mice. Brilliant right? Greetings from the Netherlands ✌🏼🇳🇱✌🏼
I saw the same video, it really is cool how a small bee can put the fear into such a large animal. Delighted to have you following along with our adventures, thank you for doing that for us. Until the next one, God's peace Nielsi.
Mr. Ed
They ARE DEFINITELY MY FAV FAV'S to watch and learn from!!! ❤
You’ve done it again Charlie! Jeff looks like a pro thanks in part to your cinematography style.
No matter how much you flatter Charlie, he ain't going to work for you. God's peace brother.
Mr. Ed
Thank you all for making Fridays so special !!!! xoxoxoxox
What a big hive🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝 WOW = WhooooHooooo thanks Jeff and good times Charlie and God Bless 👍
Old F-4 II Shoe🇺🇸
I haven’t watched your videos in a long time, but I was feeling bees today. This video was incredibly interesting… I’ll have to go watch the rest of the videos that I missed.
Great hearing back from you, you have been missed. Thanks for returning and leaving your comment. Until the next one, God's peace.
Mr. Ed
I'm so glad you clarified the Africanized Bee questions the were in mind Mr. Ed........🙏🏾🤝🏾🇺🇸💪🏾🫡
I knew if I did not say something in the video, I would have been flooded with comments about them. 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 Reggie.
Mr. Ed
@JeffHorchoff I greatly appreciate all you do, Mr. Ed, it's all very educational and helpful for me. Thanks a TON Brother, and may GOD continue to bless you and yours.......🙏🏾🤝🏾🇺🇸💪🏾🫡
@JeffHorchoff I always watch your videos, and I can't wait for the new ones, and always refer back to the older ones, too. 🙏🏾🤝🏾🇺🇸💪🏾🫡
i was about to type a comment about Africanized bees i love the fact you always answer my questions before i can i finish my comments haha i love the videos! keep up the good work
I'll keep making videos as long as you keep watching. Thank you for doing that for me, it is greatly appreciated. God's peace brother.
Mr. Ed
DIY bee repellent: a mix of 1 oz. tea tree oil, 1 oz. almond extract and about 6 oz. rubbing alcohol. I sprayed it on a home made fume board and it worked like a charm clearing the bees out in just 3-4 minutes.
Thank so much for the mixture, you can bet I will be mixing up and testing it real soon. Who knows, there may even be a video in it. Thanks again for that and for watching. Also, I hope you will check out more of my over 600 bee wrangling/ bee rescue adventure videos 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 Brian.
Mr. Ed
@@JeffHorchoff You bet .... check out my other comment re gloves and wiring comb to lang frames ... from up a ladder .... bee well...
I felt a little bit bad about accepting that wax from you the other day, but after this massive nest, I feel a bit better. That was huge!
Each colony has its own temperament.
I have one super-nice one and one that is extremely defensive, to the point they will actually come find you, 50 feet away, and sting you.
Most of my other hives are somewhere between the two, with most of them being fairly gentle.
That said, I will be replacing the queen in the mean hive with a queen from the super-nice one. Beekeeping is supposed to be a fun activity, not a battle...
Like you, these bees were given a new queen, and the temperament has already changed. Thanks for watching. God's peace Gordon.
Mr. Ed
Can’t wait for the update on the Queen situation for this hive. God’s blessings. My girls are going to get an OA vape today or tomorrow.
I re queened the hive with one of Mike Barry's grown queens. In fact, he posted a short on it on Saturday, maybe you can find it. Get them mites in control, good man taking care of his bees. Thank you for your blessings and for watching. God's peace Brian.
Mr. Ed
Thats an awesome video, first time watcher, can't wait to get a call like that someday. Getting ready to head to the homestead in two days. Getting ready to retire from the military and looking very forward to it. Come check out the house build!!!!
Delighted to have you watching my bee wrangling adventures, and thank you very much for your service to our country. I wish you all the best on the next stage of your live, and I will be following along with the build as I subbed to your channel. 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
Aaand Good Time Charlie! You guys are the best
A great guy and better friend. Thanks for watching. God's peace Gary.
Mr. Ed
You two work so well together! When did you guys meet? Great friends are hard to find!
Charlie and I meet at our bee club about 8 years ago and have been wrangling bees ever since. What a great friend he is! Thanks for watching. God's peace Bernard.
Mr. Ed
And we thought they were flying thick before you did the smoke with the bandit!!! 😮
It always impresses me just how many bees I can't see until I spray the Honey Bandit into a space. 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 Nana.
Mr. Ed
Angry Bees!!!! Good job, lads. Hope the ladies love living at the Abbey
They are right at home here at the abbey, and since I re queened the colony, their disposition has done a 180. 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
Good morning Brothers!
You are up early this morning Brian, got an early flight? God's peace brother.
Mr. Ed
@@JeffHorchoff No I’m off for a couple of days. Need to OA vape and I will be helping a friend to get their Apiary ready for 2 Nuc’s they pick up this weekend. Thx for the blessing. Another great video. You and Charlie should make a post video of a removal where you get lunch, call is “Diner Time”. 🤣👍👍👍
That framed up beautifully 😊
Yes it did, and the bees quickly secured it to the frames. Thanks for watching, and I hope you will check out more of my over 600 bee wrangling/ bee rescue adventure videos 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 Rachael.
Mr. Ed
What a massive hive, collecting hives like that you’re going to fill up the abbey quickly. HaHa Thanks for what you do
I am already running out of equipment to house the bees, I hope things slow down soon. Thanks for watching. God's peace brother.
Mr. Ed
@@JeffHorchoff that’s a good problem to have
Awesome Hive , so far think its the biggest one I have seen you harvest so far ,
Thank you
I have already come across some large hives this year and the year is still young, stay tuned for possibly larger ones. Thanks so much for watching. God's peace.
Mr. Ed
Charlie running away,,," I'm retiring from this bee stuff"😂😂😂😂
The things that come out of that man's mouth never fail to make me laugh. I'm a blessed man to have him as my friend. Thanks for watching. God's peace Ed.
Mr. Ed
@JeffHorchoff yes you are blessed to have him as a friend, your video's are awesome. Beats all the garbage on tv., I cut the cable 7 years ago. Bee video's 🐝 🐝 🐝 hobby beekeeping ever since
Was this your biggest hive removal? If not I would love a link to it. I hope poor Charlie got a free lunch after that. 😅
I imagine most people would be in way over there heads with a hive like that. Meanwhile, Mr. Ed is jumping right in with a huge grin. Hope those girls can learn to chill out at the Abbey. They're fiesty!
They have chilled big time now that they have their new queen. Thanks for watching. God's peace.
Mr. Ed
holy smokes that's a lot of bees ..I love it great video .
Glad to hear you enjoyed the video and if you liked this one, I also think you will like the one below. Let me know what you think of 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.

Enjoyed the video! A suggestion: A microphone would really enhance the audio quality and make your awesome humor even more enjoyable. Keep up the great work! 👍🎤
Thanks for sharing ❤❤❤
You are very welcome. 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 14 years now, and hope to continue to do so for many more years to come. 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 Josefa.
Mr. Ed
Awesome… here in the UK they are still hunkered down but the removals have started.
I love removing bees in the latter part of winter just as the bees are starting to build up. Fewest number of bees and least amount of honey in the hive. Plus, they build up super fast and have proven to be the best survivors of a hive removal. Thanks for watching. God's peace brother.
Mr. Ed
Looks like another great removal!
It took a second to figure out why the Charlie was showing us dance moves in the middle of a removal.
I have used honey bandit in the smoker, I just place a bit of news paper to the top so it holds the liquid and gets steamed off. I'll use the news paper to spray down and place in the attic just in case I need to remove the pressure for whatever reason. Once it's sprayed directly it's hard to remove that pressure later.
I do keep the orientation of the combs as well, but it's to make sure the comb goes sideways or upside down so they won't reuse it after it emerges. That way they work brood and foundations or comb I have for them. A month later I can remove their old comb without having anything left in them.
A real bee wrangler for sure! I'll call soon Jeremy and catch up. God's peace brother.
Mr. Ed
Its gonna be alot of fun watching during the harvest!!
It's shaping up to be a really nice harvest this year and I can hardly wait to see just how much our girls have brought in. 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 Sissy.
Mr. Ed
@@JeffHorchoff I do have a question, maybe you can address it in a video.. I'm in North Texas, we've been getting crazy storms, flooding and missing tornados by the skin of our teeth.. Does things like that mess up your bees or how do you Handel things like that?
Good afternoon, Mr. ED We just sat down with your video and our brunch. We had errands to do this morning. It was a good idea to watch you for brunch. That was an angry hive! Wow ! Did Charlie get stung ? Wow, it's very entertaining. How many bees? We will watch it again on Saturday morning. Yall, have a good weekend, ya hear!!
WOW what a hive. It looks as if it is as large at the last one. Love it.
I think it was every bit as large, and just as many bees as well. Thanks for watching. God's peace.
Mr. Ed
Well done guys , great job again ..
Thank you, and thanks so much 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. By the way, I post a new video every Friday morning, and I look forward to hearing from you again soon. God's peace Alice.
Mr. Ed
I am a huge fan of yours Mr. Ed . I watched most / all of your videos . I'm always waiting for another videos that you will post again . I like the way you do to rescue those precious bees and you are very good in explaining it .
From northern NM I freaking love you guys….i only have 3 hives!
Only 3? I bet within 3 years you will be over 15. Thanks for the love and for watching. And remember, I post a new video every Friday morning, and I look forward to hearing from you again soon. God's peace.
Mr. Ed
Wow!! Huge hive! Have a blessed weekend, my friend 🙏😊👍🤗
Wow! Thats a HUGE wild hive!
That it was, and the bees were not very happy having us remove them.We got there at 7:30 in the morning and we were leaving the site at 1:00. Then I went to the abbey and set the bees up. By the time I finished it was right around 3:00 in the afternoon. 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 love the way you fit the rubber bands I've not seen it before but I will be doing it in the future !
👍🙂👍
A great method for sure, fast and easy. I use a 7 X1/8 inch rubber band I buy from Amazon. Thanks for watching, and I hope you will check out more of my over 600 bee wrangling/ bee rescue adventure videos 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 Howard.
Mr. Ed
@JeffHorchoff I'm working my way through them, bud! And my amazon rubber bands are 8 stops away!😉👍
Can you imagine how many bees there would of been if that hive didn't swam. WOW😳
Personally, I was glad they had swarmed, we did not have enough vac's to hold any more bees than the ones we vacuumed. 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 Etta.
Mr. Ed
This hive was amazing! Mr Ed and Good Time Charlie you two did one amazing job. I love your videos, you’ve peaked my interest in bees and the importance of saving them. Love from Canada! Keep on making more. ❤
Glad to hear your interest in bees has been realized and I sincerely hope you will be following along with more of me and Good Time Charlie's bee wrangling adventures. Happy to have you join us. 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 Lori Anne.
Mr. Ed
Interesting that the smaller, second area of the hive had a different architecture - curved around instead of straight lines like the older section of the hive. With three(!) vac bodies worth of bees still remaining, I can't imagine how many bees there were BEFORE it swarmed!
I am always amazed at how bee build their hives, and many, like this one, change direction as the hive gets larger. Why? I have no idea, but it is an interesting sight to see. I would have loved to catch that swarm, I bet it was a 10 pounder. Thanks for watching. God's peace Karla.
Mr. Ed
What an impressive hive and a great cut out. I did notice the date and time being off on the thermal camera. Keep making more guys, love your videos.
You are very observant, I never even noticed that. I did however notice there were a LOT of angry bees in this hive. Thank you for your kind words and for taking the time to watch the video. Until the next one, God's peace brother.
Mr. Ed
Its huge! Wow! Good job guys
Another great day as a bee wrangler! Glad to hear you enjoyed the video, thanks so much for taking the time to watch it. 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
Your videos are so wonderfully soothing, have a wonderful day!
Wonderful to hear that you enjoy the videos, I'll keep making more if you keep watching. Thank you for doing that. God's peace Lauryn.
Mr. Ed
Big up yourself Mr Jeff and your good friend Charlie Watching you from Jamaica 👍
So cool to have you following along, thank you very much for doing that for us. God's peace brother.
Mr. Ed
Wow! The bees were flying fast! They swarmed the camera quickly ! I pray Charlie had his suit on!
He had his suit on, but the camera did not and it took a bunch of hits. 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 Stephanie.
Mr. Ed
Hi mr Ed. Hi Charlie
When you’re glad you wore that suit ❤❤
Yes indeed! Thanks for watching, and until the next one, God's peace Michelle.
Mr. Ed
One of these days when you’re back at the Abbey if you could show the inside of your bee vac to show how you have a different layers of screen in there for the bees to be sitting on.
I think some people are led to believe that they’re all just crammed in there on top of each other.
I have shown what the bee vac looks like with bees in it, but I will show what it looks like before it happens as well. Great idea. Thanks for that and for watching. God's peace David.
Mr. Ed
That was exactly my thought.
If they didn't have a laying queen, would that explain why they were so aggressive when you opened the wall?
That is what I think was going on, it explains their initial behavior. Thanks for watching. God's peace.
Mr. Ed
Dang, if those bees aren't Africanized, I'd hate to see ones that were!!! That hive was ginormous! You should get quite a bit of honey and wax from that hive. If there isn't a queen in there I hope they start making queen cells to create one right away.
Even though it'll be a LOT of work, given the precarious state of our bees it's such a blessing to have so many thriving hives. If you decide to cut back on your hive numbers after the harvest, you can spread that wealth and love out to other private bee keepers in the area so that the expansion continues. You boys have a special thing going and a wonderful partnership. Your friendship is perhaps the biggest blessing of all. It creates joy for you both, and on top of that you use your friendship to collaborate to make a difference in the world. I really appreciate what you're doing for the bees and for all us who want to learn and expand the work of fostering our pollinators. Many thanks.
Despite the disclaimers made, there's actually no way to determine whether or not they are Africanized with any certainty outside of lab analysis. This is emphasized in many manuals and by various beekeeping associations, etc. Genetic testing or morphometric analysis of the wings are the standards, but access to that testing is another matter.
Well, there's no doubt in my mind that without their bee suits those men would have been stung to death had they stayed anywhere near that hive for any length of time. Personally, I wouldn't be interested in having those particular bees' genetics in my apiary. Too agressive.
Carole, thank you very much for your kind words about the work and friendship between Charlie and myself, we both feed off each other in the relationship. I knew there would be much discussion on the attitude of these bees, and regardless of what other viewers may say or think, and I do respect their opinions, these bees were NOT Africanized. The issue these bees had was they were queen less and as such, they were in stress. Now that the colony is queen right, I gave them a new queen, their attitude has reversed 180 degrees. Like the saying goes, you can't judge a book by it's cover. Again, thank you for your kind words and for all the time you spend following along with Charlie's and my bee wrangling adventures. Until the next one, God's peace.
Mr. Ed
@@JeffHorchoff So biologists who work with bee populations are wrong on that topic? I don’t doubt that they were stressed by their circumstances and that was the primary driver of their behavior, but that doesn’t mean that their genetics and degree of behavioral response are identical to a hundred years ago. Maybe this topic gets a lot more discussion and lectures in Arizona.
@@carolewarner101 But it is their genetics that may save the Bee community from SHB and mites. Feral hives should not be able to get that size if they had problems with those pests. It was sad to see so many drones that would never get the opportunity to spread those particular genetics.
I thought this one would be a long haul. Well done both. Just a joy to watch something sane in a world that is just crazy at the moment. Will keep on watching! God bless.
oh lord, after all the vids with polite bees you usually have... what a difference this made!
Thankfully we don't run across very many with this disposition. However, once we got them up to the abbey and gave them a new queen, their attitude has done a 180, they really are nice. Thanks for watching. God's peace brother.
Mr. Ed
You 2 make it look so easy.
And we have great fun doing it...even when we are getting stung 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 Randy.
Mr. Ed
Looks like that hive has been there a while by looking at the comb inside it and the dark color of it . Wonder how much honey is actually in the hive or if it is all brood Mr. Ed
I removed about 8 or 9 pounds of bees and got almost 5 gallons of honey from these girls. What an awesome hive! Thanks for watching. God's peace James.
Mr. Ed
That is HUGE!!! Amazing job guys!!! Thanks for sharing!!!
Very interesting that you explain the different comb size and how they are used it something I hadn’t noticed before, but was always curious about. Keep up the good work.
Charlie, they were all over your camera lens! I hope you got the heck away!
The bees had Good Time Charlie running for the hills, but he maned up and got back into the fight. Thanks for watching. God's peace.
Mr. Ed
I have never seen them attack good time Charlie and you so bad that's a big big hive. Good luck to yall and God bless glad to see yall back on.❤
Bee can not stand a camera for some reason, and they had Charlie on the run while the hive was being opened. Thank you for your blessings and for watching. God's peace Sherry.
Mr. Ed
@@JeffHorchoff yes I've noticed they sometimes don't like the camera. My suspicion is that they are up to no good on such occasions. Sometimes I can film right by the entrance for ages, other times they chase me off every time I turn it on. I can stand and watch no worries, but turned the camera on and the guards are out within 20 seconds to harass me. Turn it off and walk away till I see them return home, and I can walk straight back and watch no worries until I turn it back on.
Didn't know good time Charley was so fast😅😅😅😅
Neither did he. Thanks for watching. Until the next one, God's peace Lynn.
Mr. Ed
Tomorrow is my birthday and whatva great way to kick it off with you and charlie and a cut out. Thank you for such an awesome video i hope you both have a great week
Happy Birthday Natalie! May your special day be filled with the blessings for God and may your day be filled with joy! I hope you have a great week as well, God's peace.
Mr. Ed
Great job guys. Loved watching. Keep us updated, please
Like I said; by the ton 0R by the yard/mile. That was a DANDY and Ralph would've been VERY handy but you 2 guys did well for yourselves! Jesus weekend and God Bless Yall!
Another awesome video! Is there any chance you can precisely measure cells of that colony drone and worker bee ?At few spots ? I think larger cells make bees live less of being fatter( larger ) plus less bees per capita in the colonies for mite control and take up more room in hives if you have it in the hive of course I see how more smaller bees will fit in the frame creating more dense colonies and was wandering that this genetics that you removed are the one of the smaller size better genetics !!

I have never gotten into the "science" of bees though I can see it's intrigue. For me, I simply appreciate the diversity of the genetics in bees, and stand in awe at how incredible these little insects are. Thanks for watching. God's peace.
Mr. Ed
Just settling down with a cuppa to watch you and those angry bees. Looking forward to it. 😊
This video was so long you probably needed a refill to watch the entire video, I hope you enjoyed it. Thanks for watching. God's peace Mary.
Mr. Ed
Thanks!
Oh Krissa Ann thank you VERY much, that is so generous and kind of you. God's peace.
Mr. Ed
I know it's longer videos but we really enjoyed the whole process of your work.
The longer versions were better viewings.
But we realize why you shortened them.
Thank you for your understanding and for watching, it is greatly appreciated. Until the next one, God's peace Betsy.
Mr. Ed
Gee there mad alright Charlie they love you
Where is Wreckin' Ralph when you need him? I can tell those bees are PO'd!😊
We certainly could have used Ralph's help on this one, but that could be said of every removal Charlie and I do by ourselves. Thanks for watching. God's peace Byran.
Mr. Ed
I found your channel because my Mom has a colony of bees that moved in and we're doing a trap out because there's no way to get to where the actual hive is. Seems to be going well. The funnel has been in place for 5 days now. No more bees are coming out of the funnel and they are going in and out of the trap box 2 feet away like it was always their home. Hope we can get the queen in the box too. 🙏
Congratulations on the successful trap out, it is not the easiest way to do a removal but very effective when the hive is inaccessible. Let me know if the queen came out. 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
Dang, those were some po'd bees. Those were some tough girls. That was absolutely nuts. Hey, Charlie, you're quick for an old dude. 😅 (I can say that at 60+ because I'm not) We love you Charlie ❤. The size of that hive was amazing.
I can't fault those bees at all for being so angry at first, I would hate to be awaken early on a chilly morning with my roof being torn off while I was all toasty under a blanket. I wish the viewers could have seen what I saw as Charlie was making a rapid departure as I opened the hive, a cloud of bees all over the camera he was holding. I never saw Charlie move that quick before. Thanks for watching. God's peace Karen.
Mr. Ed
The aggregation of nature is mindblowing 🤯Just gets faster and faster the closer you look.
And yet even in the aggressiveness of nature, there is still beauty to behold if we do not allow fear to restrain us from seeing it. 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 14 years now, and hope to continue to do so for many more years to come. 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
@@JeffHorchoff Of course, bees are the real farmers, but they are insects and are very different from us. It's clear you are a devoted and courageous steward. I was just trying to emphasize on the _exponential_ (aggregation/growth) of the bees; and much of what nature does. It aggregates.
I have watched lots of your videos I have never seen you use so much smoke. They look like angry bees.
These girls needed some serious smoke intervention, and I happily gave it to them. Thanks for watching. God's peace James.
Mr. Ed
Thank you JESUS you both survived :) Betsy and Pete
Amen! 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
Thank you for a great video, love it. I am cutting out a housewith 3 hives in it .2 of the hives were calm,but that 3rd hive wanted to eat us up.we are in Tylertown .Next time you'll are in the area call I will go help.
Russel, get in touch with me at oscelata@gmail.com
We have got to get together and do a removal. God's peace brother.
Mr. Ed
I think of all the past videos. I don't believe I've seen aggressive hives like this one. Had to laugh. You both took it stride with no worries and reassured everyone that they were not Africanized. Later, you and Charlie are assembling the frames with no gear on . 😂 Great video. Let us know how you make out with the queen.
I did have to re queen these bees and they are much more calmer. Thanks for watching. God's peace Jim.
Mr. Ed
I thought the general consensus is at this point all bees that are far 12:03 south are part Africanized. The genetics are part of the 'backround radiation' if you will. Sometimes the over aggressiveness presents itself more than others depending on the genetic lottery.
I love bee Friyay
And I'm delighted to bee a part of it. Thanks for watching. God's peace.
Mr. Ed
What a hive! It would have been hilarious if that would have been a hot water heater 😂
It certainly would have been funny if that were the case, but no way as interesting as seeing all those bees run amuck around me and Charlie. As always, thank you so much Larry. God's peace brother.
Mr. Ed
Cold grumpy bees😮😊
Thanks Jeff!
