After about 6 weeks, I finally went back to look into the hive that the bees had made emergency cells on to see if I had a laying queen yet, and was I surprised yet again by what the bees showed me. I hope you enjoy the video. By the way, the video links below are for the 3 other videos I made on this hive showing the journey they took me on. God's peace always. Mr. Ed

Good morning Mr. Ed, My wife is up watching eirh me this morning. She saw what you did and said Oh Nooooooooo!!! When the comb fell , we started laughing when you replayed slow mo.. My wife sa, "Awesome video, what drama this morning 😅. We borh agree she is a beauty and she so big she could not get over the ledge! Good video. Have a wonderful day!!!!

@JeffHorchoff 11 месяцев назад

Well Dr. Bruce I figured it would be a good thing this morning to have a bit of drama with your cup of coffee....it's a really good comb. Glad to hear you guys watched it together, now you can have something to talk about all day long. Thanks, both of you, for watching. Until the next one, God's peace. Mr. Ed

I’ve never seen such a massive queen !!! I have to go remove a colony off bees from an old house that’s about to be torn down …the owners say those bees have been there 5 or 6 years …hopefully we will some great genetics there also….see you soon…..GOD bless you Mr Ed ..

Hello Jeff, Oh my heart fell when that comb fell out of the frame. And when you were trying to grab the queen, I was yelling at the screen saying: "Put that damn camera down and get her already." I was hoping that colony prospered.

@JeffHorchoff 11 месяцев назад

A real heart attack in the making for sure, but this particular experience with these bees is nothing new, it's only been one of the many so far. Anyway, I'm sure they will give me a few more next year, but for those you will have to stay tuned. Thanks for watching. God's peace Jeremy. Mr. Ed

@pinholerecords6429 11 месяцев назад

Thanks Mr. Ed for a great follow up to the previous 3 parts of this hive saga. Q: What did you mean when you commented on the "pattern" that the queen was laying? Is there an actual pattern to her laying or did you mean that she was just laying a lot of eggs. Your work with the bees is a blessing to nature!

@JeffHorchoff 11 месяцев назад

The "pattern" refers to the nearness of capped larva that you can see on the frame. When the brood is side by side, with few holes between the cells, it is a good pattern. And yes, it also refers to how many eggs she is laying as well. Thanks for watching. God's peace. Mr. Ed

I have a question: when the bees created a new queen, did she mate with drones that were in the box?

@JeffHorchoff 10 месяцев назад

No, she flies out of the hive to be mated. This is one reason she does not return, she leaves the safety of the hive and runs the risk of being killed outside of the hive.

@huldu 11 месяцев назад

When a new queen spawns in a hive like this can she start laying eggs right away or does she leave the hive to mate and then return?

@JeffHorchoff 11 месяцев назад

After emerging from her cell, the new queen hangs out in the hive for several days, between 3 to 5 days, then, she flies out the hive and is mated. Because she is mated up to 15 times, she may leave the hive one or two more times, but generally it's once. Then, when she returns, a day or two later she begins laying. After her return to the hive she never leaves again...unless in the following spring she leaves with the first swarm. Thanks for watching. God's peace. Mr. Ed

Jeff I was referring to the big block of beeswax in the beginning of the video being dark.

@JeffHorchoff 11 месяцев назад

@@davidlewis4179It was a VERY old block of wax when I started, full of dirt and debris.

I'd bet on the replacement queen being from an egg, because in general, the younger they start rearing it as a queen, the better the result - and you couldn't have done any better than that, at least in your climate.

@JeffHorchoff 11 месяцев назад

I would have to agree with that guess as well. My reason for thinking that is it is rare for uncapped brood to live after a removal, but an egg can last longer and given the length of time it took between the removal and the setting up of the hive, the egg was still viable.

@williamhesbach4072 11 месяцев назад

Excellent camera work combined with regular beekeeping incidents, which happens to us all. Totally appreciate that Mr. Ed keeps it real! One of the patrilines in the colony may have dominated the selection of the new queen by drawing cells from eggs or young larvae that they alone wanted and possibly even destroying rival attempts in the lower box - a super-sister conspiracy to get the queen they want to run the colony. Either way, the colony came up queen-right with a great queen- congratulations.

I love your videos. It makes me feel better that pros run into the same issue (comb falling out in the best of hands). Thank you for sharing.

@JeffHorchoff 11 месяцев назад

Delighted to hear you enjoy watching the videos, and I hope you will check out more of them. We all make mistakes working our bees, thankfully, the bees work hard enough to correct most of them. Thanks for watching, and remember, I post a new video every Friday morning, and I look forward to hearing from you again soon. God's peace Jean. Mr Ed

Glad you saw the queen. When you dropped that frame my heart dropped. Not as much as yours I’m sure.

@JeffHorchoff 11 месяцев назад

From the beginning, these bees have put me on a roller coaster ride, and the adventure continues still. I'm sure when spring comes and I split these girls there will be more heart attacks to come. Thanks for watching. God's peace. Mr. Ed

What is the stuff that you scrape off of the bottom of the tendered wax?

@JeffHorchoff 11 месяцев назад

Dirt and residue that was in the wax . When the wax hardens, the heavy debris that is in it winds up on the bottom of the block. Thanks for watching. God's peace Tammy. Mr. ed

@EsteeDarla 10 месяцев назад

Question when your knocking al the stuff off the bottom of the wax could you use one of those wires they use to cut threw huge blocks of cheese to cut all that gunk off the good part of the wax?

@JeffHorchoff 10 месяцев назад

I'm sure you could, but for me, it's more practical and easy simply to use a hive tool. Thanks for watching. God's peace Estee. Mr. Ed

@EsteeDarla 10 месяцев назад

I was wondering cause I dont know anything about this stuff and the thought crossed my mind, Yeah it looks easier doing it how your doing it for sure@@JeffHorchoff

@Mz.Stephanie 10 месяцев назад

I've had to clean wax like that several times but somehow it's much more satisfying watching someone else do it!

@sonofone1-263Bees 11 месяцев назад

That drop showes us all how easy it is to misjudge the viability of a wax frame. Not that all wax is bad. But that how connected it is.

@JeffHorchoff 11 месяцев назад

And I was aware of the condition, and I still messed up. Thanks for watching. God's peace. Mr. Ed

@sonofone1-263Bees 11 месяцев назад

I think we all need to leave our mistakes in videos so new beekeepers will see we are just men like they are. Bee good, Bee have, and Beehive. God bless you and your Bees.

@kat2641 11 месяцев назад

Well??🤷🏻‍♂️ I got to say when an expert has a small boo boo it makes this old fumbling man feel better at my self ❤❤ But it is Gods wonder at work with helping the girls to survive an make a new queen… Gentle you say?? I would call that hive house pets!!!! 😱 even after the comb fell out they were not aggressive. I would love to have 1000 hives like that. !!! lol my Michigan girls have “” Sas!!” They get down right sassy when I invade their home and they are sure to make it a point!!! To let me know by depositing a love bite ouch’s

@nedheadwyoming 11 месяцев назад

Good work Mr. Ed! This queen is a momma! Way to nab her back into the hive!

Oh NOOOOO WHEN THE FRAME CAME OUT AAA... ah, but it all ended up being okay... phew!

@JJDigitalartStudio 11 месяцев назад

God bless you and thanks for showing us that beautiful wax. When it is so dark I can see why the brothers use that for their soap. Soap can be honey colored. But for candles for the church they have to be lighter than tan. Ecru maybe. You really work so hard for God and the Abbey.

@sandrariley1049 11 месяцев назад

Why do the bees kill the queen please ??

@JeffHorchoff 11 месяцев назад

There are a lot of different reasons bees kill or replace their queens, but in the instance of this hive when a new queen was introduced and they killed her, I'm convinced the reason the replacement queen was killed was because the hive bees had already began making their own queen and that was the queen they wanted in the hive and not a different one. Thanks for watching. God's peace Sandra. Mr. Ed

Great video, calm bee's even after you dropped some, mine would have been chasing me away, kinda moody. Lol Love you seen the queen and she's beautiful,

@lesleywatkins1172 11 месяцев назад

Wow, what a huge queen! What is the life expectancy of a queen bee? 😊

@JeffHorchoff 11 месяцев назад

I have been told they can live for 5 years, but generally, their productivity, the number of eggs they lay each day, decreases significantly after the first year and continues to decline which is why either the bees or the beekeeper replaces her within one or two years. Some beekeepers retire her and allow her to continue on perpetuating the genetics though at a very reduce rate. Thanks for watching. God's peace Lesley. Mr. Ed

@julianporter6929 5 месяцев назад

Sometimes it is best to just let nature take its course and in this case your bees did do just that so Mr Ed maybe Jesus was looking over your shoulder to see what happened this time around 😊
