Wow! What a gorgeous hive! I was drooling over that beautiful, (messy) dripping honey! You and Charlie make a great team! Excellent job spotting the queen, always impressed that you find her so easily! Yes, by the Grace of God! Thanks!
Not an easy one for sure, but well worth the effort to bring the bees back with me to the abbey. Very happy to have share the experience, thank you so much for taking the time to watch and leave your comment. Also, 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 Jeniene. Mr. Ed
Looks like you found a new tool to use for your removals. That machete worked great because those were some of the largest cells I’ve ever seen you remove. Great job guys!
At first I thought they were going into the Apimaye hive and then saw them moving into the trap-, real nice! Tell your mom Happy Birthday from Mr. Ed! 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
Now that was ALOT of not just bee's but also comb! Those girls are going to be a great addition to the Abbey. The comb seemed to be thicker with this hive storing alot of honey. Hope you and Charlie had a great lunch together. God Bless you both!!
A massive hive for sure along with some great bees. And yes, I'm happy to have them here at the abbey, another fine addition. After 5 hours of wrangling bees, both of us were hungry. Thank you for your blessings and for watching Phil. God's peace. Mr. Ed
I always enjoy your videos… Today there was no mention of lunch for Charlie, and when he said goodbye as “Good-Time Charlie” I imagined him saying “Lunch-Time Charlie”. LOL!
Often times "Lunch Time Charlie" would be a much more appropriate name for sure! Thanks so much for watching. Until the next time, God's peace Sarah. Mr. Ed
Would've been cool to see an up close view of the drone bees. I mean, they look derpy as all heck but outside of the beekeeping hobby, you don't ever really see them, especially alive. Those cells were three c's worth of thicc. Gorgeous looking too. Looks like you've caught another wonderful addition to your honey farm.
I regret not showing the density of drones in this hive, almost unbelievable. Still, the worker bees outnumbered them at least 5 to one. You are correct, these bees will be a very welcome addition in our yard. Thanks for watching. God's peace. Mr. Ed
Y'all may be exhausted and think have some dis-spirited thoughts, but from my clean and cozy spot in the bleachers all I could think throughout that capture was "put a gold star on that hive!" The size/thickness of that comb. The look of that queen. The population. The temperament (that queen walked into the cage!). The amount of honey stores still there at winter's end. That is a hive you want to take splits off of and expand that bloodline.
You need some scaffolding so you can get your equipment closer to you on these ceiling hives! Would save time and trips up and down the ladder. You could have good footing, have your table, coolers, vacuum and hive box closer to you too!!!
I have some excellent scaffolding that I use frequently, however, when there is limited space as there was on this removal, a ladder is a much better choice to do the removal on. Plus, a lot easier to clean up and set 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 Pamela. Mr. Ed
Charlie, I didn't know you served in Viet Nam. A pilot no less. I grew up 3 miles from Wright- Patterson Air Force Base. During the Viet Nam war, The B-52s went over our house so low, you thought the wheels would touch the roof!. My father was a Navy pilot in WW2 and Korea. He served in the Pacific flying PBY, PB4Y, and P2V aircraft. Thank you for your service, Charlie. God Bless.
That really was some thick comb, full of honey....at least the part that did not drip on me as I was cutting it out. Thanks for watching. God's peace Cheryl. Mr. Ed
Awesome work Mr. Ed and Good Time Charlie. Hoping y'all survived the wrath of those storms and tornadoes. Was hoping and praying you were spared of all that destruction. God Bless!
It's been a while since you left a comment, thanks for doing that and for your blessings and for watching as well. Fortunately, we were spared any real damage, but not were as lucky. God's peace brother. Mr. Ed
Wait till you see tomorrow's post, another massive hive...and bees with an attitude! Thank you for your blessings and for watching. Until the next time, God's peace Shane. Mr. Ed
Good Morning Mr.Ed, I'm impressed with every job you do. This one must have been a long and exhausting one! Well done!! You are are always informative and entertaining to watch. I've seen a lot of comb but the cells were deep ! That is a winner hive ! Keep that one Mr.Ed.. ya'll have a good weekend ya hear!!!
Amen on both accounts! 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 Terry. Mr. Ed
Thank you for your blessings, kind words, and for taking the time to follow along with our wrangling adventures, it is all greatly appreciated. Until the next one, God's peace Matt. Mr. Ed
When I set these girls up they were given two deeps, and just yesterday I added another one. Some awes0me bees for sure! Tell the kids hello for me, God's peace Karen. Mr. Ed
@@JeffHorchoff that is wonderful to hear they are doing so well. God’s peace to you too. You exude His peace everyday. I’m so glad we got a chance to meet you- you are a light in this world.
What an awesome hive this one was, and now, it's in my bee yard where the genetics will get spread around with all our other bees. Glad you enjoyed the video and I'll bee sure to tell Charlie you said hello. 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.

Thank you so much for your prayers, blessings, and for taking the time to watch the video, it is all greatly appreciated. Until the next one, God's peace Lisa. Mr. Ed
It got into the 90's we had yesterday. First time I did not need a sweater. You are going to have enough honey from that one hive to make a hundred bottles for the Abbey. God bless you and Charlie and the bees.
Every time I watch one of your videos like this I have to laugh at beekeepers who say horizontal hives don't work. According to them bees only work in vertical spaces. Great video, sw always. Charlie does great video work. Really impressive hive. To clean you suit take it to a car wash and clip it on the floor mat hooks. Power wash it there. This keeps the mess out of your washing machine. Happy Wife, Happy Life. God Bless you Jeff. Look forward to seeing you again in Louisville.
You guys taught me a new way to use the rubber bands! That is a great way, I've been having to thread the comb through the gap made by the frames when the rubber band is on both sides. Also, like the use of the portable folding table and cooler idea. Thank you.
Happy to pass along different ways of making a hard job a bit easier, delighted to hear you found the info useful. 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 Dan. Mr. Ed
Wow, what a great hive. I've never seen such deep cells and so many drones. Mr. Ed, you and Charlie worked very hard, and i hope your lunch was amazing after such hard work. Working overhead like that, i imagine you were in some pain too. Thanks for sharing these amazing bee rescues/wrangling. Sending positive vibes and blessings from northern Indiana & happy spring! 🐝
Charlie thank you for your service my brother. I was a truck driver it used to be 64 Charlie but now it's 88 mike. Love watching y'all work the bees. My grandpa used to have a bee hive I loved that honey. He had a milk cow too and my grandma used to make butter. They went so good together with toast or a biscuit. I miss my grandparents so bad. I practically grew up with them. I didn't get to see all of what my grandpa did to take care of his bees but I wanted to learn I was just too young. That was back in the 70s. Thanks for your hard work in making these videos. God bless you both
I'm certainly glad they did not, I was so glad when the honey shower was over. Awesome bees for sure! 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
Desperation is a very good incentive and this time it worked fantastic. Still, I'll be using my 16 inch knife next time. I broke it on the last removal and the new one had not gotten in yet. Thanks for watching. God's peace. Mr. Ed
WOW What a Giant Hive. Out of all the hives that I have seen you or any one that has removed. This is NUMBER 1 Of them all. I love this video the most. & to see that Queen just walk in to that trap like that, WOW. It don't get any easier then that. GOD BLESSED THIS ONE.
Not your physically largest hive, but it was definitely packed. Convenient frame size comb, you didn't have to piece it together for a full frame. I laughed at the bee pom pom on your hood near the end. Thanks to you and Charlie for another enjoyable video!
A whopper of a hive and yes Charlie, deep cells indeed. Great viewing again. Such a big beautiful Queen too. Many thanks for sharing today’s exploits. Blessings.😊
I know that was a lot of work. You guys make it look fun and always interesting. Charlie, it's never enough to say this but Thank you so much for your service . You make a great team. 😊
Hello Mr Ed how are you my friend this is a huge coloney of bees good job Mr Ed I like your work today I catch two sarm in my garden I use your technic God bless you Mr Ed
Delighted to hear my videos assisted in your success, keep up the good works. Thank you for your blessings and for watching. Until the next one, God's peace. Mr. Ed
He knew right from the start this one was going to be more than 2 hours, we both shuttered with fear when we saw just how big this one was. Safe travels brother. God's peace Sean. Mr. Ed

Another Wow, Wow, Wow! My wife walked into the room just as you said ''There she is Charlie'' and she automatically said ''Thank you Jesus!'' I laughed so hard. Thanks again boys. Also, I love to see the ''Wreck it Ralph'' rubber band method.
I can hardly wait to render this wax, I know I'm going to get some beautiful wax from it. Thank you for your blessings and for watching. God's peace Garry. Mr. Ed
The suit is toast after this removal. With so many holes and now all the honey, it went into the garbage. Thank you for your blessings and for watching. Until the next one, God's peace brother. Mr. Ed

It did the job, but I will make sure I have my long knife with me from now on. The machete was just to heavy and awkward to use.

Well, there was not a lot of space for the bees, but after adding the second deep box, they had a bit of wiggle room after. Still, it did fill up 2 deeps with bees and comb. God's peace brother. Mr. Ed

Hi, sorry, it was one of those late night comments with fat fingers and tired, old eyes. 😊 I’m a pilot here in the U.K. and I was instantly intrigued when I caught the comment about the flight suit and Vietnam. Please thank him for his service for me. The helicopter pilots in Vietnam did an incredibly dangerous and difficult job. I’ve edited the original comment to what I thought I’d written. 😁 That’ll teach me to comment when I’m half asleep. Myself and my Wife watch and love all of your videos.

Wow! You're now officially a Bee-Wrangling Ninja! Guessing that machete is the newest addition to your arsenal of tools! Can't wait to see what y'all get into next! Much love as always! ❤️
The machete was just a stand in tool while I was waiting form my new 16 inch knife to arrive, I had broken it on the last removal. Still, it did a great job for us. Always great hearing from you Amanda, God's peace. Mr. Ed
When's the last time you wrangled a hive this large? Charlie and I have one next week that's even larger, stay tuned. Have a great day, and God's peace Robert. Mr. Ed
Good morning Charlie, Mr. Ed. Mug up from central NH, where we are under flood watch through tonight. I think it's the remainder of the system that dump that 10" on you. That was some deep drawn comb! Thanks for sharing! Always a pleasure, take care, Brice

So cool! Like I keep saying watching your videos I wanna do a removable like this some day (even better would to do 3, one with you, one with Dirt Rooster, and one with Mike Barry). I know it’s a lot of work but as I’ve always felt doing anything hard when it involves animal husbandry it’s a REWARDING feeling to a job well done. 🥰
@@JeffHorchoff that would be a bit of a haul to bring them back to TN lol. Some day I’ll figure how to get down there. I’ve enjoyed and learned so much from binge watching all three of y’all’s channels.
I got over 3 gallons for myself, the homeowner got their cut, and the bees got another 2 gallons. Awesome tasting honey and beautiful to look at as well!

that was awesome! the machete was so effective. Can you show us how you will rebuild the hive when you go back to the abbey? How do you clean up? do you collect all the excess wax combs? please show us!
I did show how the comb was framed and place into the hive in the video. However, the clean up of the comb was omitted. I promise I will be showing that process in future videos so stay tuned for that.

@@JeffHorchoff yes, I have seen it just before those calm dudes. ... Thank you for your videos. During 'da rona' I watched many and decided on a course for beekeeper noobs which I did last year. 🐝
What a great cutout Lots of bees. Well now I might have to buy a serrated Machete LOL. How many deeps did you end up putting them in. I am going tomorrow to smoke some out of a tree the hive just moved in about 2 weeks ago. The home owner was lucky enough to see them moving in. Thanks again for another great vid.
It wound up filling 2 entire deeps, and next week I will be adding the honey super to them, awesome bees for sure. Make sure you add a bit of Honey Bandit or another brand to the smoker, it chases the bees a lot better. Thanks for watching. God's peace Dennis. Mr. Ed

Buy a Rain Jacket and Panting. Add a thin , thin Fleace inner lining to the jacket , just wear your pants under the panting , modify sleeves to keep out Bees with velcro at the neck to accept the netted Head covering . Boom , now you can be hosed down after bathing in Honey . Too you can add an opening at the back to accept and hold a hose which is connected to a fan to keep air flowing and you cooler on hotter , humd days . Hoping that can be a thing .
If coat has a Hood that too could be modified to take a face covering with frame to keep it off your face as the rubberized suit might in and of itself be , Bee proof against their stingers >
I have considered using a poncho whenever I come across situations like this, but if I wear anything that is not breathable material the heat becomes unbearable. In the end, I'd rather take a honey shower than bake under clothing. Still, I appreciate your wanting to share your thought in tying to help me.
