It's a perfect fit every time. 

Thank you Ronald for your very kind words and for the time you spend watching my bee wrangling adventures, it is greatly appreciated. I love sharing the fun and joy of keeping bees, and if there is knowledge to be gleaned from watching, that's just lagniappe. Now don't forget, I post a brand new video every Friday, and I hope for your continued support. God's peace brother. Mr. Ed

I know you will always bee watching. Thank you so much for your blessings and your continued support Richard. God's peace brother. Mr. Ed

Thank you so much, I'm glad you enjoyed watching, and thank you for that as well. Also, 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

Thank you so much Debbie, we were married on the 13th of September. What a blessed man I am. Thanks for noticing and for watching. God's peace. Mr. Ed

SoCal Bee Removal and Relocation

I agree Leo! He’s so gentle 😊

Are you talking about the bee's that queen is going to take with her? LOL. I know what I know about cutouts from watching your channel and I'm glad I your channel first. Not a bust-on Mr. Ed, I think I'm just more mechanically inclined like you are.

I knew you would think of adding this location to your swarm traps next year as you are always in the need to try and beat the number of swarms I catch, but, with the Life Alert / GPS monitoring device sitting at the bottom of the pond here at the abbey. that won't bee happening. God's peace brother. Mr. Ed

So very sorry to hear you are in the hospital, but I'm glad I was able to visit you with one of our bee wrangling adventures. I hope you recover soon, and I will add you to my prayer list. God's peace Amanda. Mr. Ed

That she did! God's peace Renee. Mr. Ed

A great tool to have while doing removals. It makes the framing of the comb so much easier. Thanks for watching. God's peace Chris. Mr. Ed

Thank you Amanda, we were married on the 13th of September....life is great! God's peace. Mr. Ed

Jeff, I’m am so thrilled for you. God bless you both!

You the man! Thank you so much for your gift and for watching, it is greatly appreciated. God's peace Merlin. Mr. Ed

That is so kind of you Carole remembering my mom, and you are correct, that smile did come from her. Thank you again for your kindness and for watching. God's peace. Mr. Ed

I'm going to step up my joy on discovering the queen, and you will see that on next weeks post. Thanks for the reminder, the blessings, and of course for watching all my bee wrangling adventures. God's peace Lewie. Mr. Ed

@@JeffHorchoff Best place to bee as far as I know. No cussing and I don't push Jesus on nobody but don't dodge Him either. You know how it is. So have a FINE week and if I'm still here I'll bee waiting!

They were 3/4 inch, ship lapped cypress boards. Beautiful boards that would make some wonderful furniture. God's peace brother. Mr. Ed

I'm happy to supply the diversion from your studies, and I'm glad it gives you a break. Thank you for the love and for watching. God's peace Yasmin. Mr. Ed

I wish you and your bees all the best, Good LucK Enrico. Thanks for watching, and 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 brother. Mr. Ed

I love the Craftsmen style homes, and this house is a great example of it, plus, the homeowner is a great guy to have such concern for bees. God's peace Gigi. Mr. Ed

Getting older is rough, but it has it's advantages as well. God's peace brother. Mr. Ed

Well I certainly hope you will contact me to arrange a visit, I'd love to meet you guys. Contact me at oscelata@gmail.com and we can set something up. Thanks for watching. God's peace Matt. Mr. Ed

I'm happy to report the queen made her way into the box. I really think she flew down right away, but in any case, she is in the box now. Thank you for your blessings and for watching. God's peace Mark. Mr. Ed

I can't really say if she was in the window or not, but regardless, she was in the bee vac, and I did find her a few days later in the hive. You have made Charlie's day by saying you love naps too. God's peace Cheryl. Mr. Ed

Wow, Mandeville, you just down the road from the Abbey. Get in touch with me and we can make the meet happen. Looking forward to meeting you. God’s peace. Mr. Ed

@@JeffHorchoff Think the Mandeville comment was meant for someone else. I'm close to the Trappist Abbey in Oregon if you ever want to wrangle bees out West! LOL

New comb is always beautiful. Wait till you see next weeks video, it's all about 3 weeks old. Stay tuned, and thanks for watching. God's peace Isabelle. Mr. Ed

So sorry about the eardrum damage, Charlie said he'd happily take care of those medical bills for you though. Even though there was no queen capture on the video, I did find the queen in the hive a few days later. I have to say, my back hand frame tossing skill has improved over the last year. God's peace brother. Mr. Ed

Congrats on the jacket! Whereabouts in PA are you? Since Mr Ed here forgot 😂 I'm in Western PA myself

@@jenniferk9242 Western PA as well, about 45 minutes north of Pittsburgh!

@@WPAOutdoors we must be close, I'm about an hour North/Northwest in New Castle! Are you a beekeeper, or just a fan, like myself?

@@jenniferk9242 We are very close! I currently have about 5 hives, hoping to grow to about 12 or so next spring! You should give it a shot, you would love it!

@@WPAOutdoors that's great! Beekeeping is definitely not in my future. I had a very bad allergic reaction to a sting when I was a child, but so much time has passed (almost 50 years!) that I can't remember if it was a bee or yellowjacket. It's been my only ever sting. So now I'm just terrified of them all- complete with embarrassing running, screaming and flailing about 😂. You may have even seen me in area supermarket parking lots, where the local yellowjacket population stalks and terrorizes me lol. Best of luck to you in growing your hives, and thanks for keeping our local bee population healthy and thriving!

Boy you have a sharp eye, I thought he was getting married this Sunday.. Anyways congrats Jeff and Mona.

@@KDVoller so where did you see that he's getting married tomorrow?

I was binge watching late one night. I think it was on the house tour video at the very end, he said it was going to be just the two of them and a priest. Hey my husband and I did the courthouse thing and then a priest mass and blessing later. 34 years ago.

@@KDVoller I guess haven't seen that video

Thank you Sherry, we were married on the 13th of September. a few weeks early. We just could not wait any longer. Thank you for your blessings and for watching. God's peace. Mr. Ed

I love the old house construction as well, you just don't get to see that good wood very often anymore. Thanks for watching. God's peace. Mr. Ed

Charlie shoots the video and I do the editing. I have to admit we make a great team. Thanks for watching. God’s peace. Mr. Ed

Thank you for the hospitality and friendship we were offered, we had a wonderful time with the entire NETBA club. God's peace Ernie. Mr. Ed

It has already happened, we were married on the 13th of September instead of the 30th. We just could not wait to tie the knot. Thank you for your blessings and for watching. God's peace JJ. Mr. Ed

@@JeffHorchoff It is good you did not make it a public to YT thing. I am sure all your friends were there with bells on. God bless this marriage and let it prosper. God bless you and Mrs.Bee Give her our love too!

I have no idea if it would help, but whenever a hive is a tough one, this one was not, any tricks that help are a big benefit. Thank you for your blessings and for watching. God's peace Mike. Mr. Ed

WOW! You have great eyes to bee able to see her. Thanks for looking and for watching. 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

Sorry to make you suffer so much. Thanks for enduring the pain. God's peace William. Mr. Ed

@@JeffHorchoff No worries Jeff, struggling with temptation of part of life. Plus, I'm less than 10lbs from my goal (will be down 80lbs), so I'll be able to eat those honey combs I've been saving soon enough (along with two boxes of Samoas cookies I've been saving for the better part of a year). Separately, I'd also like to ask if you might be able to talk about the different tastes you've found in honey depending on the source of the pollen & nectar. I know you've talked about it a little, but I was wondering if there was more you could share. I'm from Texas, and I'm wondering how the different types of honey common to Louisiana compare to honey produced from Mesquite (which is SUPER abundant in South Texas where I'm originally from). Thank you sir! Best!

We got married a few weeks early, on the 13th instead of the 30th. God's peace Jean. Mr. Ed

I'd have to agree with your assumption as well. God's peace brother. Mr. Ed

Sorry about that, I forgot to include it. Thanks to your reminder I just put it in the description, but I also included it in this reply. Thanks for watching. God's peace. Mr. Ed ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-BvzFioxbNVo.html

I got the extra point for the field goal on that one. Thanks for watching. Until the next one, God's peace. Mr. Ed

So many of my viewers who have bee phobias tell me that by watching my bee wrangling videos it helps them confront their fear of bees. I hope it will do the same for you as well. 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 12 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 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

@@JeffHorchoff you and I have discussed in the past that if I ever got to Louisiana to get with you and you would help me overcome my fear of them. Well I am letting you know I am in Louisiana. I am not that far from you, so I was wondering if we could get together so you could help me overcome my fear.

Bee recognize their own brood and will readily accept any other brood that is placed in their hive.....and that goes for honey as well. Thanks for watching. God's peace Richard. Mr. Ed

We certainly do have some similar videos. God's peace Harvey. Mr. Ed

It's a 7 inch rubber band, and I get them from Amazon Prime for about 10 bucks a box. 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 Morris. Mr. Ed

Personally, I'm not for it. I understand about the threats of the Africanized bees, but there are many beekeepers out west that those are the only type bees available so they keep them....very good for those beekeepers. I'm happy to hear you fall into that category as well. 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

None of the honey that comes from a removal is ever sold, but rather given back to the bees in order for them to survive on. However, whenever there is surplus honey and it is not given back to the bees, it is placed in a different ice chest so as not to mix it. Thanks for watching. God's peace Nancy. Mr. Ed

For now, the Africanized bees are not in Louisiana, but that does not mean they won't show up in the future. As far as I'm concerned, I hope that future is a very long way off. 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 Darcy. Mr. Ed

I had found that often times after the comb was framed and placed over the bees in the vacuum box, the honey from the comb would drip on the bees below it killing a lot of them. The way I do it now, releasing the bees and allowing them to fly on the comb, has been a better method all around. No loss of bees due to honey drippage, and they get on the brood comb much faster. Thanks for watching. God's peace. Mr. Ed

As long as the brood stays in the ice chest, it remains viable. I have had it in there for over 4 hours and the brood, as long as it was capped, will hatch out. God's peace brother. Mr. Ed

Smoking bees stresses them. Since the removal causes enough stress for them already, there is no sense adding to that level. Thanks for watching. God's peace. Mr. Ed

@@JeffHorchoff oh wow I didn’t know that, I thought it just masked the attack pheromones, it’s so strange that you open up their hive and they remain calm, yet we had a hive in a wall and you couldn’t walk near them or they would race out and attack people, I still love them 😂

Honey will crystallize all on it's own as long as it is pure honey. Heating it in water will return the honey to it's normal state. Thanks for watching. God's peace. Mr. Ed

Also, honey is still good to consume even if it's started to crystalize.

The bee vac has been modified so as to have low suction. The video link below is to the video I made showing how I built it. Make sure you check out next Friday's post, I show just how few bees die in the vac right after we release them. Thank you for your blessings and for watching. God's peace Gary. Mr. Ed ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-tV3mR39v6RA.html

That is me, but on RU-vid I call myself Mr. Ed. The name "Mr. Ed" was given to me the day I began working at the Post Office back in '82. Then, for the next 27 years while working at the PO, that is what everyone called me. When I started my RU-vid channel, because I loved the name so much, I decided to call myself that. 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 Jennie. Mr. Ed

I use the Guardian Bee Apparel bee jacket. In my opinion it's the best one out there. Thanks for watching. God's peace. Mr. Ed

I should have, but I did not have it with me that day. 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 Leon. Mr. Ed
