OK, I'm going to bee honest here, that was the largest swarm I have caught all year, but here's the rest of the story:
On Monday morning, May 14th, I went to the car port in Mandeville to remove a swarm that had just moved in two days prior. I had to remove the soffit on the car port to get to the bees, and there the swarm was.....it was HUGE. I started removing double handful of bees till I had taken about 3/4 of them out, and then the bees ran to the back, out of my reach. I then sprayed Honey robber into the space to chase them towards me, and it worked. The bees ran along the joist towards daylight. Then, out of the mass of bees, I spotted the queen, a big girl, and I made my move. Unfortunately, when I looked into the cage, she was not there, she had eluded me. The next thing I know, the air was full of bees and all the bees in the box were gone. The entire mass of bees had gone up into an oak tree 80 feet up.
I have all this on video which you will see NEXT week, but for now, we will just dwell on the positive aspect of catching a massive swarm, and transferring them into a larger box. I hope you will enjoy the adventure as much as I did. God's peace to all.
Mr. Ed
Mr. Ed always seems like someone just told him a really good joke before filming.
I will admit, I have a lot of joy inside of me, and it just has it's way of getting out. Thanks for watching. God's peace JB.
Mr.Ed
The videos are positive and teach a valuable lesson on preserving nature. I watch with my daughter and have respect for any channel that teaches instead of harming the world with negativity. Truly amazing that you take the time to respect the bees and save as many as possible. Thank you and keep up with the good work!
Thank you for your kind words and your support for the effort I make to save bees. 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. I am so impressed that you are teaching your daughter to appreciate value in the small, good for you! 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. I post a new video every Friday morning. God's peace to you and your family Celestia.
Mr. Ed
I really am loving bees bc of all y'all bee keepers.
That is really great to hear! Keep on watching and loving. God's peace.
Mr. Ed
3 years ago…I love watching this guy and his high energy work. Him and Dirt Rooster..best two on YT.
Delighted to know you enjoy watching my antics as well as the Rooster's, we both love sharing our joy! Thank you for you kind words and for watching. Until the next one, God's peace.
Mr. Ed
@@JeffHorchoff and his peace unto you too sir.
Nice catch Mr. Ed! You must have some kind of magic power to get a swarm of that magnitude to just swarm right into your box! Didn't even have to shake 'em out of a tree or any thing. If you hadn't filmed this catch no one would have believed it. Way to go there Superman of the BEES Mr. Ed. Very good job, thanks for sharing it with all of us. God bless you, Mr. Ed.
Thank you for the blessing Rick, they really help me. All the swarms I have been catching this year I attribute solely to the grace of God. I truly am a blessed bee wrangler. Thanks for watching. God's peace.
Mr. Ed
The best bee wrangler anywhere. Some folks in California who grow oranges need more bees. Those bees you catch are worth their weight in gold. Not just for the Abbey use but to loan out to groves and veggie farmers who need pollinators. Imagine orange blossom honey. God is always with you Jeff.
No doubt, God truly blesses me. What a great catch this one was, and it brings me great pleasure sharing the experience. Thank you for your blessing and kind words. God's peace JJ.
Mr. Ed
👍I agree. I saw this terrific video about this type of bees ruclips.net/video/oPbH1YhsdP8/видео.html that’s helping the orchards but they need more bees.
@@JeffHorchoff الغ
I used to live on a 150acre orange grove and there was a tree with a box mounted to the upper part of the tree and everybody including the crews that would harvest the oranges were scared of going to that tree they would skip it and the ones immediately around it, but my friend and I would get ladders after we got thick clothing and netting on and go get the oranges from the tree and we would have them all over us but we were only stung once or twice but the oranges and the juice we made from them was well worth the stings we suffered we would have tons of oranges and we would freeze the juice for drinking all year round and when the frost did damage to the other trees that give tree and the ones that were immediately around it still turned out amazing oranges I was never once sick when I lived there alls I drank was orange juice but it was an organic orange grove and all the other orange grove owners used pesticides in their groves which is why you dont see beehives in them.
What is in the spray bottle that you spray on the bee's? Why do you spray them?
LOL Yes I do agree. God's peace to you too Jeff.
Thank you for your blessing and for agreeing. This bee wrangling is some interesting stuff. God's peace.
Mr. Ed
This is the first time I've seen any of your videos, but you are obviously a talented and caring professional. Please keep up the great work!
So glad to have you checking out the channel.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.

By the way, I post a new video every Friday morning. God's peace.
Mr. Ed
Still one of the best bee keeper/ wranglers on the RUclips channel!
You are to kind Joe, but there are lots of great bee wranglers on RUclips. God's peace brother.
Mr. Ed
if i lived around your area i would so follow you along all day just to watch you and the bees! Stay blessed Mr Ed!
Thank you for your kind words and your blessing, and I'd bee more than happy for you to tag along with my bee wrangling adventures. If you are ever in the New Orleans area, get in touch and we can make it happen. Thanks for watching. God's peace.
Mr. Ed
From this video, I witnessed you bring order and balance into chaos. That is a gift! Grateful to witness too. Amen!
What appears as chaos to many, I just see a hive of bees looking to get things straightened out, and I'm just helping them along. Keep on watching, I really appreciate you doing that. God's peace Jackie.
Mr. Ed
It's so nice that you did not have to vacuum them up, an you were very gentle with them. Thank You Loader.
It is really cool to grab handfuls of bees. Thanks for watching. God's peace.
Mr. Ed
Those bees made a nice Top Hat. Reminds me of Tom & Jerry cartoons where Tom would pull a beehive off of his head only for the bees to make a bunch of fashion statements before Tom knew what he was in for. Ah, good times.
It does look like a top hat with all those bees. Hadn't thought of that one. Thanks for watching. God's peace.
Mr. Ed
It's so wild to see one of your videos on the same day that you publish it. 😃 Thank you for caring for them.
I tried to publish the video the same day I made it, but that did not work out. I'm very glad you were able to watch. Mr. Ed loves bees. God's peace.
Mr. Ed
Thank you for not killing the bees from hives you remove. God bless you.
Thank you very much for your blessing, I truly appreciate 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.

Mr. Ed
that was a really good and really big swarm catch. Great work again, dear Jeff. Double Thumps up for that! :)
So hopefully it´s not too warm there in Louisiana and you can enjoy those beautiful days of may.
Greetings, Peter.
This was the largest swarm I caught this year, and I am very happy to say they are doing great at the abbey. Yes, I am enjoying our weather, and I hope it has warmed up for you as well. God's peace brother.
Mr. Ed
Great to hear, that they are doing really well in the abbey.
And good to read about the good weather condition. Here in Germany has a little warmed up, but in this days, it´s too much rain and overcast, especially in the free days. :D
But it´s a few days till the summer break. Hope there are a few good summer days left for me. :)
I’m kind of binging on both of your channels and I’m getting a kick out of these the cross-over episodes.
I always like when this thumbnail pops up as this was the largest swarm I caught last year. The swarm had over 40,000 bees in it, really impressive. thanks for taking all the time to to binge, I do appreciate your effort. God's peace.
Mr. Ed
To Jeff and DirtRooster, a simple divise I created to carry in your bee removals when you use a vac, it consists of 2 pieces small dia. hose, a plastic mayo jar lid with 2 holes the hose fits snuggly into and a suiable glass or heavy plastic jar the lid will screw onto, one is attach to vac's pre-suction side the other is used as a liquid honey suction wand, the honey collects in jar, makes nice unmessy comb removal, as you vac the bees, just remember this devise needs more suction than your bee vac wand so hook in before you vac reducer valve on your bee collection box so it gets full suction. Hope try it and find what cheap great tool it is.
You are the one of the best things on RUclips, God's work! Good job Mr. Ed
I love when you get them by the handfuls!!! It would be amazing to feel what that felt like!!!!🐝🐝🐝🐝
The heat that the bees generate can be felt even through the gloves. God's peace Theresa.
Mr. Ed
@@JeffHorchoff really!! Wow that would be so awesome to feel that!! Maybe sometime I'll swing through Louisiana on one of my travels (my sister lives in Pearl Mississippi) and hit you up. Might get lucky enough for you to be doing a cutout or catching a swarm!!! I'd also love to check out the Abby!!
@@theresavandever1387 Before your visit, get in touch with me to make sure I will be at the abbey, but I'd bee happy to give you and your sister a tour of our honey operation. Looking forward to the day. God's peace Theresa.
Mr. Ed
@@JeffHorchoff I'll be sure to do that! I'd never drop by without talking to you first. It would be such a pleasure to meet you and all your bee friends. Until then God Bless Mr Ed!!
Well Jeff, I've gone from being just terrified of bees, (really wasps), to being amazed, thrilled, and even a tad eager, to be part of the honey bee world!
Ever since I had a dog get killed by yellow jackets, I just always keep a long distance from anything that flew and could sting! "no exceptions!"
But, watching you, Dirt Rooster, and a few others on the internet, my fear has gone to just real admiration, for you guys "and ladies too," in the honey bee world, and ofcourse, the honey bees themselves!
Too bad I live in Virginia, so far from your abby. I'd "bee," willing to dawn a bee suit and go wrangling with you!
No use to telling you to have fun, cause you already are!
God bless you and the bees and you folks have a great one!
If your are ever in the area, I always have an extra bee suit for those willing to give wrangling a try . Think about it. Thanks for watching. God's peace James.
Mr. Ed
i love Louisiana. Baton Rouge is my ground. but all these bees ... i just love them. just awesome. so glad i stumbled onto your channel
BR is not that far from Covington, about 70 miles. If you are ever in the area, stop in at the abbey, and I'll show you the honey operation and the bees. Thanks for watching. God's peace.
Mr. Ed
Honestly, Bee Keeping is what I would love to be doing in Retirement. I'd give the Honey away, just want to tend the bees.
I am living your dream, I'm retired, I'm a bee keeper, and I give away a ton of honey. The good news is that there are lots of vacancies for folks who want to do what I'm doing and what you want to do. Till the time is right, God's peace brother.
Mr. Ed
I'm biding my time at the moment because we live in South Korea. ( My wife is a Department of Defense Education Activity (DoDEA) administrator and I am retired military.) If I was in the states, I would be on my farm in Ohio keeping Bees. God has a plan for us, and right now his plan for my family and I is in South Korea. I'm only 46 and will have my chance to get started in the near future. Keep up the good work and the video's flowing. I enjoy watching them.
God speed, Brother.
God is in charge of the entire program, and I know he has the best intentions for me so I trust in his providence. Your time will come, and God willing, you will have many years ahead of you. I wish you and your family the blessings of the New Year. God's peace Ben.
Mr. Ed
Just an hour ago, I did a similar removal, same technique.. Your videos have taught me so much.
Happy to pass along the tricks of the trade, keep on wrangling brother. Stay safe, God's peace.
Mr. Ed
Mr. Jeff, What a great swarm! what a HUGE swarm. God Bless You.......Rick
Thank you for the blessing Rick. This may have been the largest swarm I have ever caught. I'm glad to have shared the experience with so many. Thanks for watching. God's peace.
Mr. Ed
I don’t know Jack, or Ed, about bees but I absolutely love this site and look forward to each new video. Our Lord has provided us with much. It’s up to us to be the proper custodian regardless of the amount. Keep up the great work.
Happy to hear you are liking the channel, and bee wrangling is about all you will see here. Thanks for watching. God's peace.
Mr. Ed
Lol you two enjoy your swarm capture competition too much to ever concede!
Since I'm so far ahead of the Rooster in the count, you will not see me throwing in the towel. I'm looking forward to my Taco Bell victory dinner come September. Thanks for watching. God's peace.
Mr. Ed
Jeff Horchoff looking forward to that Taco video!! Take care and bless you and your family!
WOW! You're so amazing! Thanks for so much wonderful footage of bee wrangling! I love how you're so gentle with them!
Love and hugs from Dawn Lynn and Larry in Ottawa Canada!
My swarm built a deep 10 frames supers worth Of comb in the boxbefore I could get them in hive boxes (11 days). I have enough bees to fill 3 deep 10 frame boxes crammed into two boxes. My local bee guy says it's maybe 100k or so. It looks like about half of what you have there. Great vid.
Great story, thanks for sharing it and for watching my bee wrangling adventures. God's peace.
Mr. Ed
Hi Mr. Ed. I had a swarm just like this one enter one of my traps. I was extremely content. It was about 5:30PM.
I left them in the trap and went early next morning to transfer them to my brood box, but sadly they all went away. Man, I was so bummed out. Maybe I should have transfered right away.
Anyways, keep teaching the old Rooster how the true wrangling is done. God bless both of you.
I love you guys, both of you. Enjoy your bee wrangling, and your friendship with 628DirtRooster.
If you can't have fun and laugh with all you do, your life is not complete. The Rooster and I really have fun with our swarm challenge competition. Thanks for watching. God's peace.
Mr. Ed
Thanks for sharing your transfer techniques-fascinating to watch-even though you forgot your brush...
What an amazing amount of bees there!
God bless, brother!
So glad the girls were cooperative. God Bless
Thank you so much for your blessing, they are best perks I receive for posting these videos. I was truly blessed to have captured this swarm and to capture it on video. thanks for watching. God's peace Shawna.
Mr. Ed
There are so many bees that they sound like a big giant roar
Nothing like the sound of bees ringing in your ear, that's when you can tell you are a bee wrangler for sure. God's peace Zoe.
Mr. Ed
I bet you were excited to get a picture of that one. That's a lot of bees!
It would have been great if I could have put the mic to my heart so everyone could hear how fast my heart was beating when I saw that swarm. Thanks for watching. God's peace.
Mr. Ed
People need to stop useing certain pesticides. If you want bees in the future. Bees are a force like no other.
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. God's peace.
Mr. Ed
dirt must have been stopping for bacon or a buffet. He is so far being he is wandering lost in the area in search of phantom swarms. There are plenty to be had and shared; also, glad you two have fun poking at each other. God is Great!
All the time! The Rooster is so overcome with envy he can't even see straight. While I'm posting all these swarm videos, he's just watching them instead of getting some for himself. Poor guy. Thanks for watching. God's peace.
Mr. Ed
I don't think bees are so endangered now
They really are in many parts of the world, just not here in Southeast Louisiana. Thanks for watching. God's peace.
Mr. Ed
Watching you gently put the bees in the box was so satisfying and cool, nice video Mister Ed!
I treat the bees the way I'd like to be treated, and pays off because they don't sting me as much. Thank you for your kind words and for watching. 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
The dirt rooster would have been there sooner but he had to stop and get his hair done. Great catch Mr. Ed.
And a manicure, remember, it's always about looking good. God's peace Z.
Mr. Ed
WOW Jeff. HUGE swarm of bees. HUGE. That had to be all of 5 or 6 pounds. Nicely executed capture. Once she starts laying again, you'll have to split that colony. Probably 2 or 3 splits. Dandy of a catch.... Trophy grade. 🏆🏆🏆✌️
This may have been the biggest swarm I have ever caught. My hope is to get honey from these girls by October, so, no splits. God's peace Tim.
Mr. Ed
By the grace of God, we'll continue to see more Mr Ed in the future! Thank you sir, you continue to do you and the rest of us will continue to sit back and enjoy. God Bless sir!
Thank you for your blessing and your many kind words. God's peace.
Mr. Ed
Hi Jeff nice to see you still working hard as usual . I've had a few weeks break from you tube but I will be doing a marathon catch up with everyone's channel I subscribe to so I thought I would start with my favourite man of the moment . X
Top comment of the night, a real compliment. Make sure you have lots of comfort food while you binge, you have to keep your strength up. Great to hear from you Dawn. God's peace.
Mr. Ed
Mr. Ed I pray God Blesses you abundantly it really brings me joy watching how much credit you give to God. I enjoy watching you and dirt roosters videos and looking forward to starting my first hive this year and attending classes in Alexandria LA I sure hope I get the opportunity to meet yall one day y'all's personality is refreshing and a inspiration to fellow Christian's i pray God continues to use y'all.
Thank you so much for your blessings and kind words Michael, they are greatly appreciated. I wish you all the best on your bee keeping journey, you are going to love it! To bad you missed the Rooster and I when we were in Pineville at the State Convention in December, it was a great time. Not to worry, I'msure our paths will cross one day. God's peace brother.
Mr. Ed
Clap clap clap...gave you a hand....lmbo
That hive will need an immediate super stack.
Looks more like an absconded hive.....thats like 15000-20000 bees
Jeffrey Tipton xDefinitely agree...be interesting to see if they stay in the have after transfer...absconding colonies won't stay put...the queens are terribly out of balance and are normally on a suicide mission...likely high mite loads and lots of workers carrying mites...course the original swarm trap was only a 5 frame nuc box which makes it seem bigger than normal...but fascinating to be sure!!!!
BeeFriendlyApiary exactly..had same problem...but put a caged queen from my stock and crushed their queen....that hive is still growing strong.
He lost them. Check out the description. I've suggested only Randy is tall enough to help now. LOL
I added a deep super to it this afternoon, and I am moving the hive next week. Thanks for watching. God's peace Jeffrey.
Mr. Ed
I love it. I’d like to see the mother hive. God bless the bees and you too.
Thank you for your blessing Mike. I wonder about the mother hive myself, that thing had to bee massive. God's peace brother.
Mr. Ed
Thank you Jeff.
That swarm looks a lot better in a box than 80 feet up a tree, would you agree? God's peace.
Mr. Ed
Caught one like that here the other day. A ten frame deep wasn't enough. Found it 50 feet away from my hives. Turned out to not be one of mine either. I couldn't believe it. Tried to get them in the ten frame, they drew comb for 2 days and the queen even started to lay eggs. Then went out this morning to the box being empty. A small small amount of bees that stayed with the very few eggs that were laid. Totally scratching my head at this one. I think the ten frame wasn't big enough for the queen I guess.
I've been watching several of these videos and it is very interesting.
But without sounding to stupid cause I know some people like to bash a person Reguardless. I have a simple question...what is the sugar water for, what does it do?
I'm 50 yrs old now, but back when I was 15 I worked weekends for a guy doing small jobs. But he was a bee keeper and he was teaching me many things about bees before he passed away.
I Helped him gather sworms plus even helped him extract honey using one of those pots ya slide the combs down in and using a handle, swirl it real fast so the honey flings out.
My gosh it was good stuff.
One time he put some honey on my hand and said hold still.
Within a few minutes, bees started landing on me. Before to long my entire hand and forearm was covered.
Freaked me out, but it was a neat experience.
Bees are remarkable creatures to say the least.
I use the sugar water to calm and distract the bees. They busy themselves cleaning the sugar off each other and that enables me to go about moving the bees and not having them angry. Good question. Thanks for asking and watching. God's peace.
Mr. Ed
@@JeffHorchoff
Ok. That makes sense.
Thank you for responding. I appreciate it.
God bless
Thank you for your blessing, and I'm happy to answer your questions. Till the next time, God's peace.
Mr. Ed
@@JeffHorchoff
U are very welcome and thank u as well
I’m enjoying many of your back videos. Binge watching.
Unbelievable!!!!! You are a hero Mr Ed!!!
No hero, just a guy who really loves wrangling bees. God's peace.
Mr. Ed
Nice catch and running into your buddy at the end was a good end to the day as well.
This was the largest swarm I caught last year, and it was a lot of fun transferring them into a larger box. It's always going to be a good time when the Rooster and I get together. Thanks for watching. God's peace.
Mr. Ed
Jeff Horchoff Bees No problem, thanks for sharing your wealth of knowledge.
When he hit me with that smile and “God bless” I subbed immediately
You are to kind Brian. Thank you very much for your gift, I'm humbled each time someones subs to my channel. I post a new video each Friday morning, and I look forward to hearing from you again. God's peace.
Mr. Ed
Wow that big swarm Mr. Ed that were plan for Dirtrooster to be there with you lol😄😇😇
No plan, the Rooster had to see for himself how I was catching all these swarms. God's peace Sallie.
Mr. Ed
I could totally see an Eddie Murphy SNL skit on this. It could be a reoccurring skit, lol.
Great Job !!!!!!! Tha Bees in Butte County are suffering, good to save ALL Bees !! Good for you !!
This was the biggest swarm I caught all year, what luck. Make sure you pass along to all the bees in Butte County they are ALL welcome in Mr. Ed's bee yard. God's peace Kerry.
Mr. Ed
His hands probably look like a baseball mit when he took them gloves off
Not one sting the entire time.....thank goodness. Thanks for watching. God's peace.
Mr. Ed
Oh wow! All thoes bees!! 😄 😃 you are gonna need a few boxes!!
This was the largest swarm I caught last year, it required another deep super 2 days later. Also, the great news is these bees are doing great, and I look forward to splitting them in the Spring. Thanks for watching, and in case you were not aware, I post a new video every Friday. I hope you will check them out. God's peace.
Mr. Ed
jeff got a full load of bees on this one. this can be a 4 way split easy.
I could be for sure, but I kept it as one, and then split them this year. These are some great bees. God's peace brother.
Mr. Ed
Holy Crow! Amazing! Good job, Jeff. God’s blessings.
Thank you for your blessing Herman, i appreciate it very much. What a great day for bee wrangling, glad you were there sharing it. God's peace.
Mr. Ed
I'll bet that was a multi-swarm. Have you ever gone through one and seen if there was more than one queen? There is a vid of 8 queens in one swarm and another with 4...
There was but one queen in this swarm, and I'm happy to report, these bees continue to thrive. Thanks for watching. God's peace.
Mr. Ed
Watched a few of your videos today and it’s so cool to see the bees up close
Thank you so much for checking out my bee wrangling adventures. 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.

Mr. Ed
Good grief, whichever scout took the measurements of your trap back to the hive needs to be schooled on how to use a ruler.
Especially since there were 2 10 frame traps within 8 feet of this trap. Just proves that bees will always be unpredictable. Thanks for watching. God's peace Marty.
Mr. Ed
My goodness! I've been binge-watching your channel, and I didnt st this one. That's a a beauty!
I'm happy you went back to catch it. That was the biggest swarm I caught this year. God's peace brother.
Mr. Ed
Another nice video Mr Ed have a great day God Bless.
Thank you for your blessing, they really help me. I'm happy you enjoyed the video, and I'm alway glad to see your comment. God's peace.
Mr. Ed
Wow! Imagine the size hive those came out of. Nice catch!!
This was the largest swarm I caught last year, I hope I catch a few more this large this year. God's peace Eddie.
Mr. Ed
A Lovely fine big swarm!!!! Congrats.....God has blessed again! Rick in Pa.
Ah yes I did find this one! Loved it! HUGE swarm!
Biggest one of the year for me, and now they are in one of our bee yards. God's peace Julie.
Mr. Ed
Thats crazy! Just lifting them off. Love it. Im not a fan of bees, they scare the crap outa me. But i love the respect you have for them.
Nothing beats the feeling of grabbing double handfuls of bees, you got to experience it. Thanks for tuning in even though you are not a big bee fan. I hope you will check out more of my videos on my channel and let me know what you think of them. God's peace.
Mr. Ed
I think you should feed the bee with syrup after taking the honey. Syrup is much similar to honey and it would keep the bee healthier 🤔. The bee work very hard to store those honey, and you've just stolen from them. That is not good enough.
just when you said "let me get my brush" I was thinking, I need to send Mr Ed a brush. I'm sending you a bee brush to keep in your car.
Thanks for the offer Glen, but I really do have 2 brushes, and one is usually in the truck. God's peace brother.
Mr. Ed
WOW!!! That was amazing. It was a dream swarm. 🐝🐝🐝😎
Great wrangling.
I wish all bee keepers could have that experience, a true joy to bee hold. Thanks for watching. God's peace.
Mr. Ed
I liked how you showed how to get that done....so cool
That was the largest swarm I caught last year, and it was a blast handling so many bees. I'm glad you liked the video, and left a comment letting me know. God's peace.
Mr. Ed
@@JeffHorchoff Well thank you as well. As a (now) city slicker I live my country life vicariously through your videos haha
@@YouMockMe I'm happy to have you on board! Till the next one, God's peace.
Mr. Ed
Next time use a soft bee brush to brush them off instead of your hands . If one gets crushed it will release a pheromone to go on the attack and the others will obey .
I was sorry I had forgotten it this time, it's usually in the truck with the rest of my equipment. Thanks for your suggestion and for watching. God's peace.
Mr. Ed
That is huge Mr Ed
It’s a toss up who is better bee man I watch
Your great And Randy is too
Randy and I are good friends and the guy is a great bee wrangler. God's peace.
Mr. Ed
Excellent catch Mr Ed
Thanks, another great day of bee wrangling. Thanks for watching. God's peace.
Mr. Ed
Why is this so satisfying?
Bees are truly fascinating creatures, and because they are so important to our survival, they need to be rescued instead of being killed. I have been saving bees from being destroyed for over 6 years now, and hope to continue to do so for many more. 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
I would give you a hand any day Mr. ED
Thanks for the offer, it's a difficult life this bee wrangling stuff. Thanks for watching. God's peace.
Mr. Ed
I love how they cluster together like that & move easily 💯
The bee whisperer strikes again
That's what I call a whooper of a swarm. Thanks for watching. God's peace.
Mr. Ed
Nice one jeff I'm still trying to catch one swarm here in nc no luck yet though. Poor dirt rooster lol.
Keep at it Jerry, there is still lots of time to catch a swarm by you. Not to bee cruel, but I don't feel sorry for the Rooster. As a matter of fact, I love the fact that I'm miles ahead of him in our little swarm contest. Thanks for watching. God's peace.
Mr. Ed
I think you're enticing non swarms from other bee keepers boxes with all those fancy boxes and lures :)
They just know Mr. Ed is going to treat them good, so they keep coming. God's peace brother.
Mr. Ed
Ha ha ha u have a stalker!! I love watching all of you!
It's not like he could sneak up on you without noticing him. Thanks for taking the time to watch and leave a comment. Till the next time, God's peace Karen.
Mr. Ed
10/4 on the hand clapping and the Rooster ain't EVEN giving up and you know it better than anyone! Good catch there, Roscoe! A-PLUS! Now you've got another category- weight. Just wait on the weight! Gods Peace 2 U TOO!
I have a feeling the wait won't bee that long. There were so many bees in this swarm, we should have honey by October. God's peace brother.
Mr. Ed
That ought to BEEEEE a record of some kind BEEEEcause that was a PILE of BeeeeeS!
I bet rooster is jealous. LOL Great job Jeff
In all honesty, we are both happy for each others successes, but we can't make that public, it would ruin the fun. God's peace brother.
Mr. Ed
that is a a huge swarm.
It may have been the biggest I ever caught. Thanks for watching. God's peace.
Mr. Ed
that was hell of a swarm man.good job .amazing video
The biggest one of the year, and it's all settled in now. God's peace.
Mr. Ed
Mr Ed! What's the reason for spraying them with sugar water and not just clean water? Thanks for great videos!
The sugar water distracts the bees. They start cleaning themselves off and pay very little attention to me, and I like that. Thanks for watching. God's peace. Mr. Ed
That is a beautiful swarm Jeff
One of the biggest ones I've ever caught. What a blessing. I hope all is well. God's peace.
Mr. Ed
Persistent previous preparation prevents piss poor performance. You need a standard wrangling equipment checklist and loadout.
I'm writing it up as I answer your comment. Thanks for watching. God's peace.
Mr. Ed
Well done atleast you didn't kill them just gave them a new home .
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. God's peace.
Mr. Ed
great video Jeff , looks like the dirt rooster is a day late and a huge swarm short !
I don't know which gave me greater pleasure, catching that big old swarm or gaining one more on the Rooster. Thanks for watching. God's peace.
Mr. Ed
All that I can say is, "Wow, bee mazing. Awesome. Take care. Good one. Gods peace be with you. Tim
Thank you for your blessing Tim! And what a blessing this swarm was, so glad to share the experience. God's peace brother.
Mr. Ed
Awesome Jeff 👏👏👏👏👏
How would you like to find a swarm like that hanging from your swarm trap Shaun? Me, I was stunned, but VERY happy. God's peace brother.
Mr. Ed
I need full beekeeper protective gear just to WATCH your videos.
Smart move. God's peace.
Mr. Ed
thats a lot Jeff!
maybe you do need a hand i have some manikin hands if it helps
I think we're gonna need a bigger box (or at east 20 frames for that size of bees). Looks like it's too large for 10 frames.
In addition, it's probably one of the largest swarms you ever caught of all time. Between when you started and today, it belongs on a top 10 largest swarms Mr. Ed has ever caught.
I added another 10 frame box on it this afternoon, the girls thanked me for the addition. I think it may have been the largest swarm I have ever caught, it's definitely in the top 3. Thanks for watching. God's peace.
Mr. Ed
I have to say that your a smart man for the suit
That is a hole mess of bees
This was the biggest swarm I caught that year. So cool! Thanks for watching. God's peace.

Rooster has bacon 🥓 hidden in your truck... that’s how he does it
😂😂🙏🏼
That guy can smell bacon 3 states away. God's peace.
