I finally got to open my horizontal hive since putting a swarm in it and adding some frames, and it was to harvest the honey. The bees and the box are awesome! Thanks Good Time Charlie for the gift. God's peace to all.
Mr. Ed
Making me salivating
As good as it looks, it tastes even better. Thanks for watching. God's peace Kariire.
Mr. Ed
@JeffHorchoff isn't it already a morning there? I am waiting for your Friday video and not seeing it? It's already 1 pm here in Uganda, the pearl of Africa
@@kariiremiriam2266 The video will be playing in just a few minutes. God’s peace.
Mr. Ed
@@JeffHorchoff ❤️
Your beautiful demeanor and contagious smile are always a welcome sight, and much needed. Thanks Jeff 🙂
Your kind words are greatly appreciated, thank you for them and for watching. God's peace Roger.
Mr. Ed
That was fun to watch ! 😂
God bless Jeff
Nice video
Thank you so much for your blessings and for watching, they are greatly appreciated. Also, in case you did not know, I post a new video almost every Friday morning, and I look forward to hearing from you again soon. God's peace Julio.
Mr. Ed
That's a beautiful and versatile hive that he has built!
Plus, the long hives are so comfortable to work when you get as old as I am. No more lifting heavy boxes. 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.
Mr. Ed
I'm noticing that everytime I watch one of these vids I'm having a fantasy about being a hobby beekeeper. Now this small personal hive had me dreaming once again. But then I suddenly remember, darnit! I'm allergic to bee stings!!! haha! 🤦🏽♀️ Oh well, back to reality! 🤷🏽♀️ It's not a life-threatening allergy but it's bad enough that there's no way I would risk even a single sting. Thanks, Mr Ed, for making me dream... and smile... and laugh. 😄🙏🏼
I can not tell you how many folks tell me they are unable to keep bees due to allergic reactions, and yet they love watching my videos because there is no danger of getting stung and they still can fulfill that desire of keeping bees. Know this, I am delighted to bee able to supply the happiness of keeping bees even if it would be impossible otherwise. 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.
Mr. Ed
Loved this video, especially showing how you extract the honey on a level for the backyard bee keeper. Charlie did a great job on building this hive box.
It just goes to show, an extractor is not necessary, and keeping bees can be done on the cheap. I agree, Charlie did an out standing job on the build. 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, Its been cold we have more coming. We love ur videos! Got some running around to do today. Yall, have a wonderful weekend, yeah hear.
MR Ed that’s a beautiful hive that Charlie made for you and your wife god bless sir
Thank you so much! as a beginner you have shown me the way that I can begin with my backyard 1 hive system. thank you again for simple.
You are very welcome. One of the reasons I posted this video was to show just that point, it is not really necessary to have a lot of gear to harvest honey. Glad to hear you found the video helpful, thank you 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.
Mr. Ed
Jeff I would put the entrance on the end, it keeps the brood at the end and not on the bottom of honey comb.
A very good suggestion, come colder weather, I'm going to do that. thanks for the suggestion and for watching. God's peace.
Mr. Ed
Very interesting to watch the horizontal hive video. Looks like the way to go for us older bee keepers.
I have to say, I'm a big fan of horizontal hives. Stay tuned for next week's video, I install a cut out into my new Layens hive, another type of horizontal hive. Thanks for watching. God's peace Howard.
Mr. Ed
Hello sir! Thank you so much for sharing! We have a horizontal hive my husband built a year ago and we will have honey this year. Last year the bees had to build from scratch their foundation so zapped all their energy and also we had robber bees of great magnitude so we had nothing by September. The bees this year are German and doing very well. So far we estimate around 50 lbs honey! We think this group will make it through the winter this year!
That was a beautiful bee box Charlie made there. What a great wedding gift. It keeps on giving. You and Wanda should have a long "HONEY"moon with lots of honey and biscuits. God bless you.
Congrats on your first harvest! Invest in a two-frame manual spinner and you can save all that good comb. Your yield will double since the bees won't be wasting time building comb. Simply spin out the honey and put the frames back in there. Same day. You will be getting about 4 gallons of honey per hive!!!!
Thank you for your support Kenny, but this was not my first harvest of honey, it was the first from my long hive from my house. I volunteer keeping bees for a group of Benedictine monks in Covington, La where I take care of over 150 hives and harvest about 350 gallons of honey a year. I have over 580 videos showing what I do at the abbey with the bees and it would be an honor if you would check out a few of those videos for me. Again, thank you for you help and suggestions, and I hope to hear from you again. God's peace brother.
Mr. Ed
That's a fine looking bucket you have. Best keep it under cover, else you might come home to find the Rooster taking a bath on your front porch.
You could never unsee that . . . . .
I've got locks on the water faucets outside to prevent such an incident. God's peace brother.
Mr. Ed
I just found you and I am so happy I did! You are the bob ross of bees! I love ya! ❤❤
I am so delighted to hear you found my channel and enjoyed watching, thank you for that and your kind reference to Bob Ross, a real compliment. Also, 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
Good time Charlie did a wonderful job on the hive box he made you! It’s nice to see you extracting the honey by hand ( the old fashion way) but can you imagine doing all your hives that way!! It’s a good thing you have all that fancy stainless steel and all your helpers for collecting honey on the rest of the hives! Great video and thanks for sharing and letting me tag along :)
I'm thankful for ALL the graces I have been blessed with. Thanks for watching. God's peace Mary Jane.
Mr. Ed
Good Time Charlie is a Great Carpenter! I would love to have one of those gems!
That was cute at the outro for 628DirtRooster! What calm peaceful process done at home. Thank you for sharing
Mr Ed, it definitely sounds like you bottled that honey for you and your Honey (Mona)!
I was feeding humming birds and butterflies in my yard here in north FL but since the birds left the bees have taken over the feeders in droves. Your video has convinced me that maybe its time to go to the next step...
The world needs as many beekeepers as it can get, what are you waiting for?

Mr. Ed
Mug up from New Hampshire to Louisiana, 30 F and dark at 4:30 am. We lost over 3 minutes of daylight last night. Days are getting short. Bees are still finding small amounts of pollen here yesterday. Just stopped feeding some light hives and giving them time to dry up before I reduce the number of frames in my horizontal hives. Got one hive left to go through if it gets above 60 F today. I may pull some honey, but most frames will go back to the bees when the red maples are blooming in the spring. Wow, nice hive Charlie, really beautiful! Enjoy the honey! Thanks for sharing. Take care.
Hard to believe you are already experiencing 30 degree temps already. Heck down here. we won't get that till January...or later. You and the bees stay warm.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.

Great video. What a beautiful hive and a very thoughtful present. It was nice to see you at your home place.. 👋 Hi Mona. Hopefully we get to see your lovely bride next time.
She will bee in some upcoming videos, just keep on watching. God's peace Karen.

Can I lick the spatula? Boy you got a great life Mr. Ed! Good job and I loved the hive the Good Time Charlie made for you and your wife. God bless!
Charlie really did outdo himself on that hive, what a wonderful gift. Thanks for watching. God's peace Loren.
Mr. Ed
@@JeffHorchoff You can tell he put a lot of love and skill into building your bee home. It is very beautiful! Blessings to Charlie! And to all of course. I love everyone like Jesus.
What a great friend Charlie is!! Great looking hive and bees. Enjoy the honey.

Wow Jeff! That's some dark honey! Nice hive too. Thank you GT Charlie!
A bit on the dark side for sure, but that only matches my personality. Thanks for watching. God's peace Jeffrey.
Mr. Ed
I’m glad to see you using a horizontal frame. I’m my humble opinion they are far superior to the vertical ones. X
If I only had a few hives, the horizontal hives are all I'd have. They are so easy to work, and they are so friendly on my back.

It just brings out the kid in me to bee around them. Thanks for watching. God's peace Jennifer.
Mr. Ed
Praise the Lord! That's fine looking honey.
Indeed it is, thank you Jesus! Thanks for watching. God's peace Wendy.
Mr. Ed
Forgot bigup to Charlie for such a wonderful job on the hive body...will try one just like this in my apiary come next year after the rainy season....
The horizontal hive has so many positive features, but as an old guy, my favorites are how easy they are to work, and how it saves your back when pulling honey. 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 Edi.
Mr. Ed
Mr Ed you might have to get a two frame extractor for little jobs like this...love it bees are such a lovely insects to have around the house.
I already have one but for only 3 frames, it was not worth getting it all sticky. Until the next time, God's peace Edi.
Mr. Ed
That is wonderful. Your very own honey thanks to Good Time Charlie. Lots for you and Mona to get through this Winter. How lovely. Thanks for another excellent video.
I am glad you are acknowledging Good Time Charlie because he is so important to what you do. Keep up the good work. And I will keep watching. Matt in Texas. MERLA says hello.
I'd have to be a fool not to acknowledge such a good friend. Plus, he's loaded with talent. God's peace Matt and Merla.
Mr. Ed
Man I missed it when it first came out , but gotta say that's one awesome hive, he did a great job on that hive. The Dirt Rooster is going to send you a Stop order on using his opening line lol. God Bless Jeff Great Video.❤👍👍👍🙏🙏🙏

God bless you Mr Ed., occupying a happy little corner of the internet and spreading joy to the world. You and your bees (and the joshing with the Dirt Rooster) are a welcome relief from the doomsday scenarios that make up daily news these days.

WOW! Charlie nice job on that hive!
Mr. Ed, that's got a real nice ring to it - you should copyright that saying lol, "Hobby beekeeping is a way of life."
God Bless.
I really like this video because as you said in the end and showed in the video it doesn't take all that much or investment to start bee keeping sure, hope it encourages others to take up this hobby. If I didn't live where I do now .....
One of the great things about watching videos on keeping bees, if it not a possibility for your at the moment, it keeps the dream alive. Keep on watching, and I'll bee making more. God's peace Michael.

@@JeffHorchoff I started working on the shadow box! I'm not the best woodworker so I'm not very fast!
We have two verticals, one horizontal all on a hillside. Great vid!
I am the beekeeper for a group of Benedictine monks here in Southeast Louisiana at St. Joseph Abbey. They have about 150 hives but I only have 3, one horizontal and 2 vertical ones just like you.

I Love you and your videos!! Blessings to you from Canada :)
Jeff, love the cleaning crew start to this video. Here in Canastota NY (20 miles east of Syracuse NY) I do the same. However I git a lot of yellow jackets, bald-faced hornets, carpenter bees, and paper wasps helping with the cleaning.
Long Langstroth Hive (LLH) has become my go to. Built 4 this year. I too, moved the legs from the ends to the sides. Also single entrance versus triple. My first LLH had the triple but now 2 are sealed up by a scrap of wood. No need for a queen excluder as the queen stays in the brood area. I love my LLHs. 32° this morning and all I have to do for winterizing is walking away. I have 2" ridged foam insulation in the top. This works for both winter heat retention and summer cooling purposes. No heavy lifting for the mite treatment. I.e. no lifting heavy boxes to get to the brood section. I do reduce the entrance for winter prep but that's so minor I tend to forget about it. Here's my cleaning crew with a tour of my apiary at the end: ruclips.net/video/IUE74FoP0ao/видео.html
Edit: got to love deep honey frames! I harvested over 10 gallons of honey from the 20 frames I pulled from my LLHs 3 weeks ago.
Edit 2: definitely dark late season honey. Got my self a little fruit press to squeeze every last drop out of my cappings. Then discovered that it was toooooo little. 😉
Great video. I thought for a minute you we’re going to have to buy some honey from the Abbey store.
I'm so glad it did not come down to that, but it was looking like it. Thanks for watching. God's peace Randy.

Good sound to start the morning to Mr Ed. That was a lot of bees. Hope all is well with you and the crew

God Bless you
Love honey harvesting!!!
What a fun video to watch - thanks for sharing. I have 6 top bar hives (and a few Langs) and we harvest with the crush and strain method as well.
Glad to hear you enjoyed watching, I appreciate that tremendously, and I do love sharing my experiences of wrangling and keeping bees. I have to say, even though we have a nice honey house here at St. Joseph Abbey where I keep the bees for the monks, I really like employing the old school ways of extracting it, so satisfying. Also, in case you did not know, I post a new video every Friday, and I would hope you could check some of those out or a few of the 500 that I have already posted. Until the next one, God's peace..
Mr. Ed
I always wondered how a person who didn’t have all that fancy equipment would extract honey, you did such an amazing job explaining the process… I just told my husband that beekeepers must live a long and healthy lives….
I took 2 frames of honey from my 14 frame Layens horizontal hive that I started with a swarm I caught on May 23rd, 2022. I filled close to 20 8oz. Honey-bear bottles. Not bad for a 1st time beekeeper. Located in Charlotte, NC. 2 miles from the center city…
What a great story, and some great bees you have as well. Kudos to both you and your bees. Thanks for watching. God's peace.

Your videos, over the past several years, were certainly a positive influence on my motivation & on my understanding of the process involved, from trap to honeybear bottle…
Your attitude, your channel episode style & the connection to the Abby, all help tremendously in the dissemination of skills for we the viewer to benefit.
Blessings back….
Beautiful hive box. Loved this video of a one-man honey gathering job. I just love those little bees; true wonders of nature.
Another awesome vid!! That honey looks amazing!!
What an interesting pattern.
You got to love the horizontal hives. God's peace brother.
Mr. Ed
Its a Bee Barn!!! Love it
And they love it just as much as I do! 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 Raven.
Mr. Ed
The horizontal hive looks great. First time I ever saw one was the ones Cody (from Cody's lab) has. Looked really slick for sure.
It's a great way to keep bees, and a lot easier for old guys like me. Thanks for watching. God's peace brother.
