Folks, this may have been the biggest removal I have ever done. This hive was MASSIVE! It took over 7 hours to remove this hive, and over 30,000 bees were vacuumed up. I was grateful for all the help I had on this one, Rocket Scientist Steve, and the homeowner, Bubba. So, check out this crime scene removal and let me know what you think. Thanks for watching. God's peace to all. Mr. Ed
What a hive!!! First one must be a couple of years old. Then the second hive moves in, and the geometric precision of the comb moves forward... Thanks Jeff!!
Could you tell my drop of enthusiasm when I discovered just how large this hive was and how much work it would take to dismantle it? I knew after seeing how big it was we were going to be there for a while.That hive was a real work of art, beautiful. It all worked out well, and the bees are doing great in their new digs at the abbey. Thanks for watching. God's peace. Mr. Ed
I love your videos Mr Ed. I have big a fear of bees but watching your videos reminds me of how important it is to preserve them. I'm on the edge of my seat watching this and look forward to the next video! Edit: Also... can't believe you found the queen. You are a master. 😂
What a compliment, to have a fear of bees, yet you go beyond that fear and watch bee videos. I hope my videos assist you in overcoming your fear to the point that you become a bee keeper yourself. Thank you for watching. God's peace. Mr. Ed
Jeff Horchoff Ha, ha. I'll keep watching, so I suppose it could happen! Take care Mr Ed.
I have a huge fear of bee's because I am HIGHLY allergic, if I get stung I swell up like a balloon
Crazy thing here, I have a massively irrational fear of wasp! I don't know why but if one is flying around me my fight or flight response kicks in and flight usually wins! 😂 I've seriously spent hours in my bedroom being held hostage by one little wasp flying around my living room while waiting for someone to come kill it. They've also held me hostage in my car! But I don't have that fear with bees or any other insect for that matter. My bff and neighbor have an agreement that I'll come take care of her spiders and water bugs and she will come take care of my wasp problem!
Man that was a big one. I can't believe you didn't just pack up and leave when you saw how much work it was going to be. You know I'll come finish those for you. Also you must not watch those CSI shows. They use flashlights even in broad daylight. I didn't see a flashlight when you were on the roof.
The only reason the homeowners did not call you on this one is because the bees were in the master bedroom closet. They knew you don't like to start removing bees till 9 at night and they did not want to hear you screaming all night long while they were trying to get some sleep. God's peace brother. Mr. Ed
LMAO BeeKeeper beef
@@JeffHorchoff oh my gosh you two are the best! Love this! hahahahaha
@@lcplantnerd It's always a party when the Rooster and I get together. Check out the last video we made together. Thanks for watching. God's peace Lisa. Mr. Ed

I love u Mr.Ed your videos are amazing. The light of our saviour shines through you in every video. I think thats why i keep watching 👏👍😆😉😇
Thank you for seeing and saying that, it touches my heart. God's peace. Mr. Ed
Been watching your videos for nearly 2 hours now. Fascinating and Quite baffling.
Bees are amazing architects.
This was the largest hive I have ever done, and the removal took almost 8 hours to do. Till next time, God's peace Lizz.
Mr. Ed
The wife and I sat at our breakfast bar in Florida and thoroughly enjoyed the video- not to mention our eggs and potatoes. :-) Teamwork is always the answer. Excellent video as always. Have a blessed Sunday.............
Did you guys have biscuits with honey along with the eggs and potatoes? Glad I was part of your breakfast. God's peace. Mr. Ed
Jeff Horchoff - we had the Rye bread from McGuires- and of course mustard w/ the eggs. Forget to brk out the honey. Hallelujah for the cross. Hey- we were stationed in Bossier City- some time ago. As always- great video. Keep em coming - Bro.
Will do, and don't forget the honey next time. I will be processing the Abbee Honey at the end of the month. I am hoping for about 100 gallons of the liquid gold. The video will follow. God's peace brother. Mr. Ed
I can't believe the dirt rooster would actually come to your cut-out and continually cut the power off. That's dirty play for sure!
I think that's the largest hive that I have seen in any of your videos. It's like the whole bee neighborhood was over hanging out for poker night! Stay cool down there Jeff! Gods peace to you this week.
Come to think of it, I did see a truck that looks like Randy's speeding off after the third time the power went out. I think this was the biggest hive I have ever removed. I was cutting comb and vacuuming bees for over 7 hours. I was SO grateful for all the assistance that I had on this one. God's peace to you brother. Mr. Ed
Another great video. It is 18 here today and it snowed yesterday. God bless you and all of the bees
Thank you for your blessing Richard and for the weather update, I got a chill just reading your comment. God's peace brother.
Mr. Ed
That was an amazing feat of endurance for both you and the bees 🐝 well done Mr Ed , I need a lie down after that .
Yes it was, we were there for almost 8 hours. That was the biggest removal I did all last year, and the bees are doing fantastic at the abbey. Keep up you marathon, you are doing great, jut remember to eat and sleep between long viewings. Thanks for the time you are spending watching my be adventures. God's peace.
Mr. Ed
Good job on that cut out. That was a huge hive! I have those same feeders. I drill a third hole in the top and stick a rubber stopper in them. That way when I feed the bees, I don't have to worry about drowning bees that are on the mesh ladder. Look forward to seeing the abbey in a couple of weeks.
This may have ben the biggest cut out I ever did, it was HUGE!!! I do like the internal feeders, and you have a good idea with the extra hole. Make sure you contact me before you come to the abbey to make sure I will be there. I don't want to be off wrangling bees and you guys show up. Looking forward to meeting all of you. God's peace brother. Mr. ED
I will shoot you an email with my contact info. I will also email you when I get a better grasp on a date, but from what I recall, it will be around the 22ndish sometime.
Great, I will be looking for it.
wow! what a job! Well done Jeff! Blessings and peace to you!
This was a tuff one, but in the end, everything went good. Thank for watching and following along with my bee adventures Robert. God's peace. Mr. Ed
Don't think I've seen a hive that huge. That was amazing!!
Holy smokes! Every time you almost got the hive looking like it was clear, they would explode and cover everything again. That is A LOT of bbes.
There were over 40,000 bees in this hive. It may have been the biggest I ever relocated. Thanks for watching. God's peace. Mr. Ed
heart stopping revile thought the whole hive was going to land on his head
How was that for drama, you won't find that kind of action on the Dirt Rooster's channel. God's peace Leighton. Mr. Ed
Hello jeff great job very well equipped to take the swarms. Infrared system. I am that amateur with 10 hives. Our house often stone sound and bees likes holes in walls thus difficult Long live the vac bee the colonies(summer camps) of bees are very big Bye bye of France
C'était la plus grande ruche que j'ai encore enlevée. Il a fallu plus de 7 heures pour l'enlever, et je suis heureux de dire que les abeilles vont toujours bien. Merci de prendre votre temps pour regarder mes vidéos et laisser un commentaire. La paix de Dieu. M. Ed
Your vids always make me happy!
Thank you for your kind words and for watching my channel. God's peace. Mr. Ed
Love your videos, love seeing those bees! Keep it up!
And I appreciate all the time you spend watching my channel, thank you so much for the honor. I woll keep making the videos if you keep watching and commenting. God's peace. Mr. Ed

Wow this was a doozy!! Job well done, and beautiful video. I think the flashlight issue Rooster mentioned is indeed correct. Still 30k bees has to count in the swarm contest!! Thank you Mr. Ed. :)
This video was the largest removal I have done, it really was a monster and took over 7 hours to do. I was very glad when it was finished. The Rooster can't count past 100 so don't believe him when he says a number. God's peace Julie.
Mr. Ed
You two are so funny and I absolutely love you both. So - I may not believe him when he counts but I wont play favorites. My parents were masters of giving love to all their kids without playing favorites. I am therefore attempting something similar here and it is NOT easy! But it's fun to watch and love you both. But I think this swarm should count as two! It was the work of three anyway, but not the work of getting two swarms, chasing them down, etc... only had to travel to one. But it was the work of three! LOL So how you going to handle it? One swarm or two? Don't ask the Rooster, I am sure he would not agree!
Hi Mr. Ed.
Question: What do you do with all the bees after they complete their nest in the frames? Do they live there forever on your property, or do you put them back in the wild somewhere or what?
Since this was 30,000 bees alone, and I've seen you get many more in other videos.
Do you just house them temporarily or do they stay with you forever?
All the hives belong to the monks at the abbey, I just tend them. After removing a hive from a structure, the comb and bees are relocated to the abbey where they will live....until some disaster befalls them. Hives are always dying, but generally they live for many years. I hope this answered your question. Thanks for watching. God's peace. Mr. Ed
Holy crap!! That is way too many bees! You need a vacuum with a fire hose on it!! Wow!!
This was the biggest removal I have ever done. There were more than 50,000 bees in this hive and the removal took almost 8 hours to complete. The good news is that these girls are still doing great at the abbey, and I will be splitting the hive come Spring time. Thanks for watching. God's peace.
Mr. Ed
@@JeffHorchoff I would have thought double that!! Glad they are doing good!! God bless!
@@stageforgejon905 Thank you for your blessing, and I hope you will continue watching and commenting. Until the next time, God's peace.
Mr. Ed
Wow...the amount of bees in that hive is staggering...
This hive was HUGE. It may have been the biggest one I have ever removed. On top of that, there were at least 30,000 bees to contend with......and one queen. Thanks for watching. God's peace. Mr. Ed
I think you may bee the nicest man I have ever seen. I would say met but obviously I have not met you! haha
That is very kind of you to say, thank you. By the way, this removal was the largest one I have ever done. It took 3 people almost 8 hours to complete. Thank you for taking the time to watch and leave a comment. Till, the next time. God's peace J D.
Mr. Ed
That was awesome. The size was amazing too :)
You should have seen that one in person David, it was the biggest one I have ever removed. Thank goodness I had all that good help along with me. I still have your brother in my prayers. God's peace brother. Mr. Ed
Jeff Horchoff Thank you very much. Ye I bet that would have been very hard on your own thank heavens for friends :)
Thank you for uploading about your bee-catching adventures. I am learning plenty. Can your explain about your bee- vacuum
please. I don't understand how it works.
The vac has a special design that will not kill bees, it is only a low pressure vac. I copied a design I found on RUclips and have been using this vac for 3 years now. It is my most favorite go to tools. Thanks for watching. God's peace. Mr. Ed
I dunno why you're so much more animated and energetic now than when this video was made, but I can only assume it has to do with some sort of fermented honey. Keep up the good work, brother.
I think this was the biggest removal I have ever done, it took 3 of us over 8 hours to do it, not including travel and setting the bees back up. I think I may have been a bit over whelmed. Anyway, I'm over it and a bit more animated than back then. Let's keep the fermented honey between the two of us. Thanks for watching. God's peace Dave,
Mr. Ed
Mr Ed I counted each and every one of those bees you were off by 21678 bees for a total of 51678 bees you are now the Bee Vac Master!
This hive was HUGE. We were at it for over 7 hours vacuuming bees and cutting comb. In the end, it worked out fantastic, and the bees are doing great at the abbey. Any swarm activity yet? God's peace brother. Mr. Ed
No Fort Worth Bees are on strike I guess.
Give them more nectar in the next contract. God's peace brother. Mr. Ed
Funny you say that but I have feeder's out by the swarm traps and all they want to do is take lunch breaks all day! LOL
Good catch in the beginning Steve!
Rocket Scientist Steve also played catcher in his college days as he demonstrated his agility and ability to follow a moving object. Thanks for watching. God's peace. Mr. Ed
Awesome!! The comb is so beautiful! Question: Does the home/land owners get to keep some of the honey that you harvest from their land?
The sight of natural comb in a bee hive was the first thing that captivated my interest in keeping bees. The beauty of it is truly breath taking at times.....as this hive demonstrates. The home owners can have as much of the honey comb as they want, but most take only a little bit. Thanks for watching. God's peace. Mr. Ed
Wow what a hive Mr Ed. I just found your channel last week and I have watched several of your videos. I really enjoy watching you work with the need. My favorite part of the video is when you say Thank you Jesus!! I say that all the time. God Bless you
I find it very refreshing to hear comments reflecting my love for God. He is the source of my hope and joy, and it is in those parameters that I try to live my life. The bees are simply an expression and reflection of the peace I have inside of me. It is my intention to become a monk at the monastery where I keep the bees. Looking forward to seeing your name in the comment section again soon. God's peace. Mr. Ed
thank you Mr. Ed you sure intrigue me. I might even consider starting a hive but do you have any suggestions to start the process? are there good books out there you would suggest? thanks again love the vids
I would strongly suggest that you find a bee club in your area and join it. This will begin your journey on becoming a bee keeper. And keep on watching RUclips videos on bee keeping. These are the 2 things I did when I first began. I hope it works for you also. Thanks for watching. God's peace. Mr. Ed
That is a big one for sure.
That feeder is like the kind I use in my nucs but the tubes funnel the other way.
When are you coming to do a cut out with me? You got to show the Dirt Rooster what you are made of. God' peace brother. Mr. Ed
How much would you charge for that job. Trying to transition into something like this. Just want to get a ballpark on what to charge.
You need to find out what folks in your area are charging, rates vary from place to place. Best wishes on your successes. God's peace brother.
Mr. Ed
Is that the peak to the top left? That goes from the opening all the way up there. Way cool, but i don't wanna do it.. Im nice & close enough thanks to Steve
This was one of the biggest hives I ever removed. It took over 7 hours to do it, with 2 other guys helping. Thanks for watching. God's peace.
Mr. Ed
Mr. Ed, I think I saw something I'd not noticed before. Was there something connecting the end of the vacuum hose to your wrist? Not the attachment but the end of the hose? I like the idea. Your hand doesn't tire so quickly is what I'm guessing. Great video!
No, there was nothing attached to help support the hose. I think that was the string from my bee suit hanging down. I'm glad you liked the video. Thank you for watching. God's peace. Mr. Ed
Bubba got my respect taping and covering things to make it more comfortable for you to work. Good looking out.
What causes the difference in color on that hive, i see redish and white?
Tell me about the sugar water, how much sugar to water?
Bubba did a great job prepping the site, it made the clean up so much faster. The different colors indicate different ages of the comb. New comb is light, old comb is dark. 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 6 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
I use two parts sugar to one part water, it's a good mixture. God's peace.
Mr. Ed
Hey Mr. Ed, Thank you for making these videos, very helpful. Question, for handling an hot and mean hive, Which full body vented bee suit would you recommend? My bees ate me up, stung me though my leather gloves and canvas jacket. Going to need to invest in something better, but I need to invest wisely. Thank you in advance for taking the time to answer my question.
How many new hives have you replaced since the 2016 flood tragedy? Just curious. God be with you always. JJ
Thank you for my blessing, I've come to look for one every time you comment. I don't know how many hives have come and gone since the flood 2 years ago, but I can tell you we are at about 50 hives presently. God's peace JJ.
Mr. Ed
Your name is Jeff. How did come to be known as Mr. Ed? I know everyone is LA has some kind of nickname. Just trying to figure out yours. Ha ha You deserve all the blessings you get my friend.
I've been watching your videos as a way of sort of "desensitizing" myself to bees and wasps. I'm REALLY phobic of stinging insects, and allergic to hornet venom. But I've noticed I'm nowhere near as skittish around these creatures as I once was, before I watched your videos.
I am going to let you in on a a little secret of mine, I can not stand anything crawling on my skin. As soon as I feel something on my skin, I fling that part of my body. As you can imagine, this is not a good idea to do with bees. That is why you see me wearing a suit and rubber gloves. If I don't feel them, I am ok. Just letting you know there are ways of dealing with our oddities. Thanks for watching, and I hope you move forward with your phobia. God's peace. Mr. Ed
What a great idea. I love watching the bees feed. God's peace. Mr. Ed
Mr Ed,
I have noticed that almost all of the natural hives you capture are between 10' and 16' (my best guess). All bee keeper hives are placed near ground level to make it easier to work the hives. My question is, "Wouldn't it make sense to build a platform and get the bees up at what seems more like a natural height for the bees?". You then could set empty hives in areas hoping to catch swarms. What are your thoughts here?
Mr. Ed does NOT like heights. I think it has something to do with living in Louisiana my whole life where all the land is flat. I don't even like crossing high bridges. That being said, I will pass on the idea of elevated be hives. Besides, it does work very well keeping the hives a foot or so off the ground. Thanks for watching. God's peace. Mr. Ed
That was one heck of a hive! I take it you save the new comb you can't frame and render out the wax to use?
Yes it was, and there was lot of comb for me to melt down. I will be melting wax next week since it is suppose to rain all week long, and I won't be doing much wrangling. Thanks for watching. God's peace. Mr. Ed
They call you the moonlight Wrangler.
No way, I'm in bed every night by 8:15, 3:30 comes around real quick. God's peace.
Mr. Ed
You just make me smile. you awesome
And your comment makes me smile, thank you. God's peace. Mr. Ed
nice hive wow. I need your advice. I did a removal a few days ago in a wall of a shop. a swarm had moved in about 3 weeks previous to me getting there. all new comb and plumbing full of nectar. Question is what is the best way to vacuum up the bees without sucking up the nectar.
idahodeerhunter Look up making a bee vacuum. Mr Ed made his own bee vacuum and there are tutorials on RUclips for how to make them.
MsCherade9 I already have a bee vacuum just curious about the best method of vacuuming bees in the spring without sucking up a bunch of nectar
The trick is NOT to suck the honey or nectar, only bees. It becomes almost impossible not to do it when all the honey is dripping down on the comb. To keep that at a minimum, I try and remove as much brood comb as possible before I start to remove the honey comb. That way, at least the brood comb is not covered in honey and wet bees. I hope that helps. Thanks for watching. God's peace. Mr. Ed
Can you split the hive into two? By adding another queen to the second hive? I'd also like to know what you think of the Flow system.
Yes you can, and I have done that in the past. I kept this one all together and it worked fine. These bees are doing fantastic in their new home at the abbey. Thanks for watching. God's peace. Mr. Ed
That is crazy! 😮😮😮 why does it look like there is several queens?
This was the largest removal I did this year. It took almost 8 hours to do the job, and there were 3 of us doing it. However, there was ONLY one queen, and we did catch her. By the way, these bees are doing fantastic at the abbey. God's peace.
Mr. Ed
Ed bees knowing his stuff!
It pays....in honey, to bee proficient in bee culture, to get the rewards. God's peace brother.
Mr. Ed
Please give us an update on your condition after Laura storm.
Thank you so much for your concern. Everything at the abbey and the area around us is fine, Hurricane Laura was over 100 miles west of us. It was the strongest hurricane to hit Louisiana's coast in over a hundred years, about 150 mph winds. It will be weeks before many have power restored. Please keep all these folks in your prayers. God's peace Tammy.
Mr. Ed
Been watching your videos for a week and I have one question: what the heck do you do with all those bees? You must have like 150 hives at this point no? Or do you pass some over to other keepers? I guess there is limited amount of hive certain amout of people can keep up with right?
We have about 120 hives between the abbey's property and the 7 out yard where our bees are housed, and I maintain them generally by myself. As I rarely disturb the bees, it is not a daunting task....except when I harvest honey which I plan on doing in a few more weeks. Many of the hives that I remove are given to the guys that help remove them, Wreck it Ralph, Bubba, who you will bee meeting soon, Richie, and other folks as well. By the way, this removal done with Rocket Scientist Steve, is one of the largest ones I've done to date. Thanks for watching. God's peace.
Mr. Ed
May those who appreciate & respect nature be blessed. A parked car I had revealed a wasp comb, many 'yellow jacks'I started the car anyway & lots of these wasps came out of their hive in the car's door well. Not one was a threat to me, they accepted me in the car. I love bees & have learned yellow jacket wasps docile, I just don't know if there's more than one yellow jacket, only if a bee stings they die an awful death, so please be like MR.ED & help them.''
That's what we do, save bees from being destroyed, and helping folks who have bee problems find the right solution for them. Thanks for watching. God's peace. Mr. Ed
I find it weird but I feel bad for the two bees stuck in that clip. I'm sure many die in the process, but just seeing them while you gloat about the queen... little bee voices "DUDE LET ME OUT OR IN!"
Put your mind to rest, those bees on the clip did not perish. The clip is designed so that worker bees can pass through it unharmed, but the queen, because her rear end is so large can't squeeze through. Thanks for watching. God's peace.
Mr. Ed
Hey dear how are you.. I heard that you are feeding the bees sugar water..is that right ??. If yes then it affects the quality of honey, so it is not an original honey.. would you explain please ?
Juma from Dubai - UAE
I am somewhat familiar with the area where the Abbey located. Kinda swampy / forested area? I guess I am curious where your ever growing bee population is getting their nectar. Have the bees spoken to you yet to suggest you plant some fruit trees and honeysuckles around the Abbey? A local bee farm here in Kentucky feeds his bees with Orange trees!! (believe it or not) and the honey from those hives has the most amazing citrus flavor I have ever tasted. I just hope all those girls have plenty to eat ya know......cuz like......I love those little things. ;)
The abbey has 1200 acres for the bees to forage on, and there is LOTS for them to forage on. I' m a blessed fella to bee able to keep the bees for the monks. Thanks for watching. God's peace. Mr. Ed
Because of your vids I have suddenly wanted to learn alot more about them. Like how there are "italian" and "russian" and "Carniolan" etc and they are regularly imported by bee keepers across the country. Are all the bees you have wrangled the same sub species? And being so close to Texas have you ever stumbled upon Africanized bees?
I think we have all three species of bees at the abbey and then hybrids of them also. I love them all, each one has traits that allow them to be survival bees which are the kind that i want to develop. Keep on watching and learning. I'll have lots more videos in the future. God's peace. Mr. Ed
Rooster needs to start using that super unleaded on his bees
He already feeds them Red Bull, that should bee enough. Thanks for watching. God's peace brother.
Mr. Ed
Re: all the hives, Iwould guess the bees found a safe place, lol
I will say this, those bee were dug in really well. They certainly did find a safe spot. Now, they are even in a safer spot, set up in a bee hive on the abbey property......safe and sound. Thanks for watching, and I hope you check out more of my bee videos and let me know what you think. God's peace. Mr. Ed
WOW! Great job guys!
Thanks Karen, the job could not have been done without all that help. Hey, why weren't you there helping? God's peace.
Mr. Ed
LOL - Oh Jeff if only you knew - I would want to help so much that I'd probably be under foot like a 3 year old and you would send me back home! Besides as you said you have excellent help already!
Aliens, omg that is big, and creepy.
What about the two bees trapped in the queen excluder?
Edit: I can see they're not in there now
The queen cage will only hold the queen, not the workers, they can crawl through. Because the queens abdomen is so large, she won't fit through. God's peace Sally.
Mr. Ed
I am interested in the bee vac you used. is there any way to order one? is there a link or a website? Thanks.
I do not sell the bee vac, but I did make it. Here is the link to the video I made showing the process. I hope this helps. Thanks for watching. God's peace Brian. Mr. Ed
ruclips.net/video/tV3mR39v6RA/видео.html
Do you charge the home owners? Or do you take the bees and honey as payment?
I do not charge to remove the bees, and neither is the honey or the bees a payment for the removal. To house the bees in a bee box is a $ 100.00 expense to me, I spent over 7 1/2 hours in removing this hive because it was so large, and an hour and a half in travel time, another expense to me. Trust me, I would come out way cheaper to buy bees from a bee keeper than to do it this way. So, the bees and the honey would not cover my expenses. Then why do it? Because I want to save bees from being needlessly destroyed, and there are not to many folks in the world who are willing to do all the work necessary to accomplish that task. Thanks for watching, and I hope you continue to watch my bee wrangling adventures. God's peace.
Mr. Ed
SO AMZING!!
I would have noped out to the bar and had you call when you're done.
Not everyone is meant to be a bee keeper, but still you can appreciate the importance of bees and the role they play in our very survival as pollinators. Plus, they make honey. 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. God's peace.
Mr. Ed
Presumably the storm damage that Rocket Scientist Steve's house suffered, has been repaired.
If it turned out Rocket scientist Steve is an actual rocket scientist I'd be so gutted. I really want him to be some ex-NASA super-genius who one day just went "Nope, gonna go wrangle me some bees".
Hold on to your britches, Steve really was an engineer at NASA. He calibrated all kinds of things for the fuel tanks, and had something to do with the orbit path. Now, just a lowly bee wrangler. Thanks for watching. God's peace.
Mr. Ed
Were you able to harvest any of the honey or beeswax?
I got about 2 gallons of honey, 40,000 bees, and about 5 pounds of wax. This hive was HUGE!!!! Thanks for watching. God's peace. Mr. Ed
Mr Ed, have you seen "Trevs Bees" Channel? he is from New Zealand
I sub to his channel. Thanks for watching. God's peace. Mr. Ed
Holy Crow! Huge!
Got another big one coming up, stay tuned. God's peace. Mr. Ed
How do get your vacuum equipment off that box?
It is a component system, and it breaks apart. A strap is all that holds it together. God's peace Joe.
Mr. Ed
great video
Thanks Kayley, God's peace.
Mr. Ed
great job!
Thanks, the job could not have been complete without all the help I was given. I have some really good friends. Thanks for watching. God's peace. Mr. Ed
Praise Jesus!
Amen brother. Thanks for watching. God's peace. Mr. Ed
Could you put honey in that feeder instead of sugar water?
I guess you could, but I have never done it. I think that bees are able to escape the lighter mixture of sugar water as opposed to honey if you had it in an open feeder. God's peace Carole.
Mr. Ed
My background is in Natural medicine and nutrition and I've never seen it be the case that any species (plant, insect, bird, fish or animal) does better on a highly refined/processed diet of any sort compared to their raw, native food. The detrimental impact on the immune system in particular is well documented and quite marked (in humans at least) when they consume refined sugar on a routine basis. Also, in my experience and in all the studies I've read as well, there's just no comparison in the impact that optimal diet and nutrition has on a species' health and resilience. That said, I've only kept bees for a couple of years (pretty hands off approach) and they didn't make it through the winter a few years back after a neighbor's house was sprayed for carpenter ants. So we've been waiting until we bought a little property out in the country before "wrangling" a swarm or two to repopulate our hive out there and hopefully add a few more.
Anyway, while I know it's standard practice to feed bees sugar water and has been for a very long time, I often wonder whether this could possibly be contributing to all the colony collapse issues we're having now. Obviously this is a multifactorial issue, but as I gear up to start keeping a few hives out on our little farm, I am looking for ways to provide the healthiest environment I can to support their success. One way I'll be trying is to use horizontal Langstroth top bar hives to minimize disruption to the colonies when I'm working with them (and to make it easier on my back!). Another idea we have is to harvest our honey in spring time once the nectar flow has started instead of in the fall, to allow the bees to consume their own food throughout the winters. Since we're only harvesting for our own use, this will work fine for us. However, we want to be ready to feed if there's ever a need and I was hoping to find a way to do so with the bee's own honey by keeping back a bit in storage for them. I suppose I could just keep some whole frames of honey in the freezer and rotate through them as I harvest new honey, but it would make it easier if I could just keep a few half gallon jars of honey aside as a back up. I suppose I could water honey back down to the consistency of sugar water as well and then just feed them with that like you did in that feeder. Hmmm, so much to consider...
Anyway, sorry for such a long post. But with all your experience, I would truly appreciate your thoughts and input if you have a minute to respond. My "ideas" are based on my experience in natural health care, reading and idealism not years of bee keeping, so I would greatly appreciate your knowledge and first hand experience to give us your thoughts about it all.

Este fue uno de los recortes más grandes que he hecho. Nos llevó a 3 de nosotros más de 8 horas completar el trabajo. Gracias por ver. El hermano de la paz de Dios.

Wow I think this the largest hive I've seen. Had to have over 20 thousand bees.
I think this was the biggest removal / reloation I have ever done. There were well over 40,000 bees on this one, but not much honey., and I gave it all back to the bees. The bees are doing great here at the abbey, and I am expecting good things from this colony. Thanks for watching. God's peace. Mr. Ed
Mr. Ed, I don't know how you do it 40 thousand bees. Would have me running away. Stay safe..
Only by the grace of God. Plus, I really like to wrangle bees. God's peace. Mr. Ed
That was a beast wasn't it!!!
The biggest I have ever encountered. I was happy when it was over. The bees are doing great in their new digs at the abbey. Thanks for watching. God's peace. Mr. Ed
How many bees were in this hive ,you think?
Over 40,000. This removal took over 7 hours to do, and it was the larges one I did last year. Just to let you know, these bees are doing fantastic in our bee yard. In just a few more months, I will be splitting the hive to make a new one from it. God's peace Terry.
Mr. Ed
da yall ever get stung by a/the bees?
I get stung pretty regularly. I don't like it a bit, but I love wrangling bees so much, it's worth it. God's peace.
Mr. Ed
i can see why, Have you price roofing? UNREAL PRICES. cheap going threw dry wall. WOW i thought i hit ur head. OMG WHAT A HIVE ! just caught 1. I bet there MORE QUEENS! Just make a another bee club he heee got another slow moving in swarm that 2 slow pokes. IDK ABOUT YOUR LOCATION, BUT ITS HOT HERE! cheer buddy
Cut outs are just about over as well as swarms. I don't work well in the heat, and I don't have one of those a/c suits like yours. God's peace brother.
Mr. Ed
why i invented it. Oh man no way, i couldn't stand the heat, Shoot i got a late start on pulling honey , got 2 more hives. I mean there honey bounded up have to go all the way threw em very hive 18 frames of honey give or take. They want be swarming that for sure. All these swarms are not from my bees that for sure. had a freak one just made comb he heee i mean pretty comb all drawn out on the frames , he heee So i gave them some more empty frames he heee my comb machine hive. out of 33 hive only seen 1 frame with 3 queen cell on it, not bad hu, shows i've been working em. i got to make some queen cell frames. and start making queens! i want queens from these 2 awesome hives i got and give each hive 2 more new queens This is what make a hive BOOOM in population and honey! yes you have to comb bind them just like comb binding a hive. get em to know each other so that mean making more pocket queen cages too, i like making them too its so easy. plug em with bee candy or marshmallows, time she eat her way out they will comb bind! Yes bees like marshmallows is great to feed em marshmallow in the winter the small one
nice big one
It may have been the biggest I ever did. Over 7 hours of work, but the bees are doing great at the abbey. Always good to hear for you. God's peace brother. Mr. Ed
Gotta gas up the bees!
Dexter..
With the plastic all laid out, it did look like a crime scene. 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.
Mr. Ed
Yo
The largest removal I've done to date. God's peace brother.
Mr. Ed
what's the big deal about finding the queen why can't you just vacuum her up
Because the queen is the ONLY laying bee in the hive, her importance is paramount. I could vacuum her along with the rest of the bees, but I do not want to take the chance of injuring her. Great question. Thank you so much for watching, and I hope you continue to watch and comment. God's peace.
Mr. Ed
+Jeff Horchoff great videos Jeff thanks a lot I'm learning a lot I'm a brand new beekeeper I grabbed my first hive in the pallet box out of a steel yard about a month ago I put a hive on top of the box I'm hoping they'll migrate into it and I'm about to remove my first big Hive from my next door neighbor pretty scary. I understand I'll be looking for that Queen real hard taking my time
If you have been following my bee removals, you should have a very good idea as to how to proceed. Depending on where you live, it may not be the best time to do a removal. I wish you all the best in your endeavors, keep me posted . God's peace.
Mr. Ed
I live in Las Vegas it's in the upper sixties around here hardly any wind the bees are actually active coming over to my dog's water bowl for water I'm making a vacuum and I plan on hooking the part of the wall to my engine hoist and pick in the whole wall out of there probably be Kona probably be comb plywood inside I'll open it slow and easy with smoke I'm very very excited like before I go in a hardcore dirt bike ride
Make a video of it, I want to see how you do. You will do fine. I know how you feel. God's peace brother.
Mr. Ed
hey Mr.ed I will be checking out your gmail like 20 mins ok Mr.ed
I'll bee looking for it. God's peace brother. Mr. Ed
