Your kind words are greatly appreciated, thank you for them. In truth, I'm just a happy bee wrangler who loves sharing my experiences, thanks for watching them. Till the next time, God's peace. Mr. Ed
Thank you very much for your blessings and kind words, they are greatly appreciated. I have been rescuing bees for over 8 years now, and post a new video about it every Friday. Looking forward to hearing from you again. Thanks for watching. God's peace. Mr. Ed
I just caught another swarm. No wrangling involved they just moved into an empty box(YES I AM STOKED). Hive number 3 this year. I lost 2 (they were weak hives when I brought them home) I didn't do 41 but I have bees now. I know everyone says to start with 2 hives, that did not pan out, I will be content with the one very strong swarm I caught in my front yard. 5 full frames in a nuk I have to be ready to move them into a 10 frame box, they are bringing pollen in like mad. I tried to feed these bees they do not want sugar syrup, they ignore it. But in 60 seconds I estimate 200 bees carried pollen in. They are coming back heavy, just loaded down with white pollen.(some little vine with little white flowers grows all over S.W. Florida) I used a long tack with a very small diameter or a sharp knife and carefully punch small holes, it doesn't have to be very big, bees tongues(proboscis) are little. I don't put feeder jars on the hive I have had issues with robbing(my hives were weak) so I feed away from the hive, they can smell the sugar water so they go to it but only in death, right now they don't want it, the ants get it.(another reason to feed away from the hive). I think I like swarm traps more than wrangling. A whole lot less work. Yours and the DirtRoosters competition should be 2 parts. Part 1 wrangling. Part 2 swarm trapping. The two of you should get together and do a video on the seasons end as well. Happy Beekeeping to you.
Joe, the wrangling competition wouldn't be fair, Mr. Ed doesn't charge, Randy does. Maybe some kind of handicap? Congratulations on your swarm catch! We had a huge swarm next to our front porch about 19 years ago, that should've been a clue, but I didn't know anything about bees. I also had 2 goats show up, I should've listened to that one too.
@@danskisbees7348 There are occasions when Randy works for free. I get it wrangling a hive can be all day. Mr. Ed he is just BEE crazy. Heh heh. No Mr. Ed retired from the Post Office Randy well he is not retired yet. But I still think it would be an awesome competition.
I'm totally stoked for you Joe. Nothing beats free bees, especially when they move into your boxes sitting in your yard. Congratulations! God's peace brother. Mr. Ed
An old bow saw. Developed in the 1940s. ( May go farther back than that.) used a lot in forestry, logging, pulpwood industry in the southeastern states. I am sure they were used elsewhere also. The bowbar had it’s dangers and was used for bucking mostly. It fell out of favor for the “less” dangerous and more useful straight bar.
What a wonderful surprise to find the queen like that. Soft combs, but busy girls. Be safe, lots of love, huggies and God's blessings to you and the brothers at the abbey, from Israel.
Another wrangling adventure for the books, and for sharing. thank you so much for your blessings and support of my efforts Hagit. God's peace always. Mr. Ed
Hey Mr. Ed. The hive looked like a little town. Streets, squares, alleyways and all. You took such good care of them, to re-home them and feed them. They'll be happy at the Abbey. Thank you very much for sharing. God bless.
It is almost a shame to disassemble a hive as it is laid out in such an orderly fashion. I always maintain that each hive is a living work of art. Thank you so much for your blessing and for watching. God's peace. Mr. Ed
Have to comment again because this was an amazing video! Start to finish, I was mesmerized! Found myself smiling throughout and wishing for a taste of that honey! Thanks again, Mr Ed and thank you Rodney for your cameo.
Now this is special, 2 comments from Deema. I am really glad you like the video so much you had to add another comment. It's always a pleasure to share my wrangling adventures, and I am grateful to all who take the time to watch, especially when they comment twice. Have a great week end. God's peace. Mr. Ed
I know you really love what you do because there are certain points when you talk about the bees and you can't help smiling... it's a very genuine joy. So nice to see. Passion is what makes certain RU-vid channels like yours so enjoyable.
Your kind words are so greatly appreciated, thank you very much for them. Also, thanks for taking the time to watch the video and leave your comment. God's peace Will. Mr. Ed
I was surprised to see you crushing comb by hand. I thought you liked to put it in a tub and stomp it like grapes. You must have been having trouble getting the wax out of your toenails.
Not everyone has big 'ol watermelon hands with 3 ton press capacity, some of us have to do things the old fashion way, slow and steady. As far as the wax under the nails, it's better than the cheese that's growing in yours. God's peace brother. Mr. Ed
I won't deny it, the little girls make my heart go pitter patter. Thanks so much for your kind words and for watching my bee wrangling adventures. Till the next one, God's peace Charles. Mr. Ed
Normally the cutout videos finish with "And now we'll get these bees back to the abbey". It was so great to see the detailed follow-up (more than half of the video)!
I'm delighted to hear you approve of the way I did this video. Normally, because I don't want to make a long video, I leave out big chunks . This time, I showed the entire process, and I'm glad to hear of your approval. Thanks for watching. God's peace Adam. Mr. Ed
I really like the stills to video ratio how are you going to great thing. It makes for a very interesting video and eliminates a lot of the repetitious stuff. Thank you for taking the time to uploading your your experiences few of us would have the opportunity to see it without you.
This is epic wrangling! A chain saw?! Wow. You get the coolest calls. The comb is so dark! Is that normal? Does it mean it is old? Those girls must have been able to control the beetles and the moths. Clever, hard working bees -- just like you!! Peace my brother, you are an inspiration.
I'd have to agree with epic, a 27 minute video, that's a long one. As the comb ages, it gets darker. That's just the natural process. As you pointed out, these bees had the beetles and moths in check, and I think they will add another great dimension to our bees with their genetics. God's peace Juliana. Mr. Ed
It's been a while since I've heard from you Kathy, good to hear from you. For being such a long video, I'm happy to hear you enjoyed it from start to finish. Thank you so much for taking the time to watch, and leave your comment. Till the next time, God's peace. Mr. Ed
Thank you for saving the bees Mr Ed . As well thank you for sharing how you get the honey out of the comb and what you do with the comb after you have all the honey out of it before rendering the wax . Oh that is one wild saw you have there I have not seen one like that where i am . God bless you .
I do love rescuing bees and sharing the experience. This particular adventure was a fun one due to the fact I was able to use this really cool chain saw. The particular model is no longer made due to the fact it is so dangerous. I was truly blessed to get these bees as well as return home with no injuries. Thank you for your blessings and for watching. Until the next one, God's peace Charlene. Mr. Ed
@@JeffHorchoff 😊 . Well that saw being dangerous and now being discontinued would explain why I have not seen them here in Canada where I am . Always love to watch your videos you have such a calm voice and I do love you care about Gods creatures.
That was a big job. Seems to be healthy hive. They will make it thru winter. I bet they will be great honey producers given the better surroundings in the Abbey. Great job for a Sunday. A day of work and worship. Doing God's work, harvesting the goodness of His creations. God bless you my friend.
Sundays are my day of rest, but there are times when exceptions need to be made, and this was one of those times. Great bees with potentially great genetics, I'm looking forward to splitting these girls come spring time. Thank you for your blessing and for watching. Till the next time, God's peace JJ. Mr. Ed
Thanks so much for your kind words and for watching, they are greatly appreciated. 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
This is GREAT! I do not know this world at all and loved every minute of it.. let me know when you get a special on Netflix! It's your turn! Thank you!
I'd run too if I saw that chain saw coming in my direction.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
They certainly had a lot of room to work in, and they had the entire area propolized. It had a real shiny look to it. I'm looking forward to adding these bees genetics to the ones we already have. Thanks for watching. God's peace Mike. Mr. Ed
I would say you had the heavy hardware. Whoo! That is one serious chain saw. Just as I finished my morning Devotions I heard the “Ding” from Mr Ed. Good timing! Of course His timing is always good. Hope you Ma is well. I need to call line today.
So good to hear you are doing your prayers early in the morning, I begin mine at 4 am. Nothing beats starting the day in the presence of God. Thanks for asking about mom, she is well, and I will let her know you asked about her. God's peace brother. Mr. Ed
Sorry I am a late riser. Up @6 not 4. I’ve attended a few events at the Monastery of the Holy Spirit in Conyers Ga. they are early birds as well. Something spiritual about the early morning quiet. A few from my bee club have re-started the Monastery’s Apiary. Praying it will be successful for the Glory of God.
I spent a week with the Trappist at Conyers back in 2010, a great time, but the 3:00 am morning prayer was to much for me as well. When I was there, there were about 10 hives located by the Welcome Center. God's peace brother. Mr. Ed
Great job Mr. Ed! I never thought you'd find that queen, but you did. I should never have doubted. One of my favorite videos from start to finish. Thanks!
Every time I do a removal/rescue, I am always intend on locating the queen, I just feel better knowing she is alive and well. God's has given me the graces for that to happen very often, and I am ever grateful for that blessing. So happy to hear you enjoyed the video, thanks for watching. God's peace. Mr. Ed
Your kind words and appreciation of my efforts are greatly appreciated, thank you so much. And thanks for taking the time to watch and leave your comment. Till the next time, God's peace. Mr. Ed
I've gotten hooked on your videos, Mr. Ed! Love the bees, the honey production, and your uplifting attitude. I always feel better after spending some time here!
I started watching dirtrooster, and i still love his channel but I'm so glad i found your channel, i love your energy, Your humbleness, and how you aren't afraid to give praise, bless you!!!! New subscriber and binge watching, hope your channel grows immensely!!
Thank you so much for your blessings and very kind words, as well as beeing a new subscriber, your gifts are all greatly appreciated. I'm looking forward to hearing from you again very soon, and remember, I post a new video every Friday. Till then, God's peace Mari. Mr. Ed
That bee vac is a really good idea. I Was thinking about making a 5 gallon bucket to trap them all in but then i would have to transfer bees to a box. Your way does both things at once. Nice work.
Here's the link to the video I made on the bee vac I use, I hope it helps you. Thanks for watching. God's peace. Mr. Ed ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-tV3mR39v6RA.html
I knew trouble was coming when you instead of Ralph hossed up that Homelite with a PULPWOOD bar on it!!! But I forget you are a woodworker and you did right good with the saw. Nice stand of bees too! And Jesus said, My Father works, therefore I work! It happens sometimes. GBWYou and Mom!
Mr. Ed, I've used quart jars for years but recently upgraded to new gallon paint cans. Works great. For fall feeding I'll put up to 4 pails on a hive on a time. One thing I learned is the can does tend to rust on the outside (lid and inside do not) so I may paint the outside of the cans next time.
Now that's a good idea! I am always looking for ways to make my life easier, and feeding every other week instead of twice a week is a real winner for me. Thanks for the suggestion and for watching. God's peace Matt. Mr. Ed
WOW!!! What an amazing recovery. Never saw the likes of a chainsaw like that, and I had no idea dead bees could still sting! Such a ton of bees and honey outa that tree. Can't believe you caught that queen either. Lucky she didn't "bug" out or even get killed by comb breaking off and crushing her when that tree came down. Wow, wow, wow. I learned a lot from that one! Thank you sir.
Dead bees do sting, and since they are dead already, they don't feel a thing. It was a real blessing to have found the queen on this one, so many ways for her to die or places to hide out. I'm happy you enjoyed the video Carole, thanks for watching. God's peace. Mr. Ed
Yeagerxp, if you have big trees on your property, you can cut out for natural bee hives in that tree. Look on RU-vid to find out how. It's very interesting and it keeps bees in their natural habitat.
The water oak, which is a very common tree here in Southeast Louisiana, is notorious for having heart rot. One of the many sayings about this type of tree is it lives for 40 years and dies for 40 years. Still, they provide great homes for bees. So glad you enjoyed the video. Thanks for watching. God's peace. Mr. Ed
One of your most interesting videos to date. Great explaining how to acquaint the bees to a new box and keep them there. The shot of the bees cleaning the wax was awesome. Keep making them. I will keep watching. Take care.
Thank you so much for your very kind words Joe. I am very pleased you though this was my best video yet. I'll keep making them. God's peace brother. Mr. Ed
That bee wrangling is some of the most satisfying work. very labor intensive but well worth it. Keep up the great work, Id like to cross paths one of these days and talk bees!
If you wrangle bees like I do it's not a sport, it's a disease. The only know cure for it is the large consumption of honey. Fortunately, I love taking the medicine. It' would be great to cross paths, if you are ever in the New Orleans area get in touch and we can tag team a cut out. God's peace Dustin. Mr. Ed
@@ezequielortega7238 I've heard them called bow blades or bow bars and bow saws but mostly just pulpwood bars. But that's just here, too. Used a LOT in Georgia and SC.
TEXAS CHAIN SAW MASSACRE ~ SCARY~ BLOOD BATH ~ INSANE ~ did you know it really happen > You got the gift of finding the queen. WOW i just knew she would been waxed! > I'am enjoying the rain from this Tropical Storm~ AND THE TEMPERATURE GOING TO STAY IN THE MID 80"s : ) A GODS BLESSING ~ Cheers my friends ~ as always a big thumps up 👍
@UC7dTIYmAcC4odasVuikHWnw The one in Henderson is a private prison, run by a corporation. Rusk has a prison too, the Skyview unit. I used to drive through there to get to Lufkin. You see the signs warning you not to pick up hitchhikers. I sure wish I could get some rain, but then I'd have to mow.
@@danskisbees7348 When my family was living in Whitehouse Texas my brother got a job running low voltage wire for video systems. He got the glorious job of going into that man's cell. He explained the man did not speak ( the guards said they never heard him utter a word) his eyes were like looking into an animals eyes, and the man growled at him for 40 minutes, albeit he was in a full straight jacket and sedated for the upgrades to his cell. My brother told me that the guards never entered his cell without a four man team in full riot gear. He was considered a risk to life.
@@danskisbees7348 I am not. I graduated high school at Whitehouse high school. Way better than Florida schools. Spent 2 years in Houston. I had a blast in Texas. Now I just cook in Florida.
Jeff i love your content,your charismatic personality makes watching you extremely easy...i had a rrun in when i was 7 with some yellowjackets,now ill run and scream from a bee,but watchin this makes me want to work with bees as well....besides who dont love some golden honey!!!
Your kind words are greatly appreciated, thank you for them and for watching my bee wrangling adventures as well. I have a feeling that if you keep on watching, one day you will have bee hives in your yard as well and you can enjoy eating the honey from your own boxes. God's peace. Mr. Ed
Beauty is in your eye every time you scoop bees out of a hive....For beauty is in the eye of the bee-holder. *da dum tsss* Thank you folks, I'll bee here all week! Sorry, Brother Ed, couldn't resist. As ever, love your videos. God Bless and I'll try not to make any more corny jokes.
@@danskisbees7348 Wow you get around! I was looking forward to a Mr Ed bee video this morning. Making preps for the hives prior to a vacation to Australia for almost 2 weeks. I will open them up and check every thing out and tomorrow I will OAV them one last time and their on their own for the duration of the trip.Yes nothing like a cup of covfefe with the likes of Mr Ed, Kamon, Vino Farms, JP the Beeman and Frederick Dunn oh I can not forget the Dirt Rooster! Your open feeding video reminded me when I had the dead out and I just put the 2 on top of the garage and the new nucs plus what ever colonies that were in the area cleaned them up real nice. Tom
@@SuperBuickregal Australia, that's awesome! Are you going to visit any apiaries while you're over there? I'm going to start my second round shortly. Have fun Thomas!
The pleasure is all mine. Looking forward to the visit and a bee wrangling adventure with you. Don't worry, I have an extra suit. God's peace brother. Mr. Ed
I thought of the same line when I lifted the chain saw, Paul Hogan had a great line for sure. Thanks for watching and checkin in. I hope you didn't get hurt to bad when you fell outta your chair. God's peace brother. Mr. Ed
@@danskisbees7348 yeah Mr. Ed just will not hear of commercializing. He says he will not produce attire. He will sell honey, maybe wax. I done been down that road. I have a 628DirtRooster hat. I wanted a Mr Ed hat but nooooo he just won't do it.
Hey Mr. Ed, as always good video chocked full of information and education! That chainsaw is serious! LOL! That was a lot of real estate to cover to get to the Queen. Thank you and enjoy the balance of your weekend.
What's up? You are a week behind in watching, I posted this video last Friday. You must be a very busy girl. No doubt about it, this chainsaw means business, and it was a lot of work to dig this queen from the log. Have a great week, and I look forward to hearing from you on ALL my videos. Thanks for watching.God's peace LD. Mr. Ed
@@JeffHorchoff Hey Mr. Ed! Yes, quite busy. In Las Vegas as we speak. I am a line dancer and choreographer and we performed on Friday as part of a 4-day event. Never like missing your videos so I've got some catching up to do! Blessings upon you my friend.

When a tree with bees in it goes down, the death clock for those bees starts. With hive beetles being so prevalent here, in just 2 days the hive can be over run. Consequently, I had to get on these bees really quick. As it turned out, things went very well for them and me. God's peace Deema. Mr. Ed
@@Steechd Would like to know that, too, from what I've heard said, I think the issue is that the fall breaks open the comb, releasing honey which feeds the maggots, leading to a fast increase in the beetle population that they can't handle. Any real experts out there that can confirm/deny?
Brother Jeff, I have to depend on your videos for my bee 'fix' while recuperating. It'll be several weeks before I can get back my hives, so stay busy making them! This was a really nice video, triggered lots of ideas to ponder. I get as much entertainment from the comments...a two for one. I honestly don't know how you've survived 60+ years without the advice of these OSHA experts and self appointed ecologists. Common sense packed up and left the scene years ago and the crowd has swallowed and espoused the government mandated PC mantra ever since. It's good for the giggle factor if nothing else! Thank You, Jesus...for another day and another wrangle.
I'm just happy you are doing well, and your surgeon did a great job. Remember, I've got almost 350 videos, so till the time you are fully recovered and back in operation, you can get your fix anytime of the day. I agree, common sense is in very short supply. God's peace brother. Mr. Ed
@@JeffHorchoff Thank you again and I am doing well, praise the Lord! It's slow, but I'll take that. I know I haven't seen all 350....but a good portion, I binge watched last winter. On my bucket list is a trip to the Abby. I think it's time to feature mom in a new video!
@@mark-wn5ek When you make that trip down here, you may get to meet mom in person. She's worth the effort it takes to make the trip all by herself. Of course there are bees down here as well. God's peace brother. Mr. Ed
so glad you did the taste test-- i just love wild honey-- even though bees are collecting from the same kinds of plants etc wild honey has a taste all its own-- compared to domestic honey-- thanks so much for bringing us along-- many blessings...Glo
I don't think anyones will power is strong enough to resist tasting a tub of honey that's just sitting there. I for one am very weak willed when it comes to resisting honey eating. I'm so happy you are out there following along Glo, it's been many years. Thanks for all of them. God's peace. Mr. Ed
I have to admit, your comment makes me happy, it's great to know my bee adventures bring joy to so many. Thanks for watching. God's peace Jasmine. Mr. Ed
When the tree hit the ground, the clock stated ticking for those bees. I was happy to be able to rescue these bees, and they will make a great addition to our bees here at the abbey. Thanks for watching. God's peace Adam. Mr. Ed
I was taught to poke the holes through the jar lid from the inside of the lid. Reason being that the probiscus of the bee will not snag on the sharp edge when retracting and be cut off or damaged. I guess they are more controlled or careful putting it inside to feed.
It was not a difficult removal other than using the chain saw and working in 95 degree weather for over 4 hours. I'm happy to hear you liked the video, thanks so much for taking the time to watch. God's peace. Mr. Ed
This was so very interesting! I had never seen the follow up before--where you feed the bees, extract the honey and give it back to them. Just fascinating. Take care and God bless you and all the little girls. Pat
I'm very happy to hear you enjoyed the entire process. I normally don't show it as it takes so much time in the video. However, this time, I decided to show the entire process. Thanks so much for watching. God's peace Pat. Mr. Ed
A recent analytics said the 46% of my views came from this videos recommendations, I just had to look and boy am I glad I did, a real gem of a vid. Now I’m going to Binge watch. Very interesting,👍

Jeff Horchoff Bees , I will, I have watched several now, I’m particularly interested in your Bee “hoover” how does that work, also how does the queen capture device work.
@@Man-in-da-shed Here's a couple of links to the bee vac. The queen cage is simply like a hair pin, the main difference is the spacing will allow workers to pass through but not the queen.

The sad news is they are no longer manufactured, they are to dangerous. I've been having this saw for over 15 years. The type of bar is called a "bow saw blade
That is the weirdest chainsaw I've ever seen. Man someone was ready for some serious cutting with that acetylene torch sitting back there. You should get some of those large frame in tank feeders to use instead of jars, much less mess that way.. from what I've seen on here.
I have the internal feeders that your mentioned, but I only put sugar water in them, not honey. The chain saw I used in this video is one bad hombre, but at the same time, very dangerous. So much so, they are not manufactured anymore. I agree, it is a nice cutting torch for sure. Thanks for watching. God's peace. Mr. Ed
Ed said thats my honey! lol jk its not a good idea to put honey in with a newly establishing hive in SHB country, big no no. Thank you for showing us the frames you banded up, really good job on fitment, they will be happy bees.
I was surprised he made the assumption that there wasn't much honey in the beginning. The hive was gargantuan and completely healthy with a thriving colony of bee's.
The assumption was based on prior experiences with bees in tress, boy was I wrong on this one. 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
It has a wicked design with the potential to do serious harm to a body, but can it ever cut some wood. Thanks for your kind words and for watching. God's peace Steven. Mr. Ed
It is a a wicked chain saw blade that cuts wood some kind of fast......and very dangerous as well. There were over 25,000 bees along with almost 4 gallons of honey that they had stored up. Now, the bees are doing great in their new home at the abbey.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.

@@JeffHorchoff I actually just recently got into doing a few things involving bees. Such as planting flowers to help with them getting what they need for honey and such, and will hopefully try out building my first bee house early next spring to avoid having them nest in my apartment and possibly causing issues to myself or the bees as the videos you post still help me keep a great interest in possible bee keeping as it seems like a very fun and filling occupation. And God's peace to you as well, Mr. Ed

Jeff as a Safety Man, I sure would like to see you using a pair of chaps when using that saw. I would hate for something bad to happen. Another nice catch on the queen. You are one lucky or probably blessed guy!
I won't lie, I did feel naked and exposed not wearing them. Thankfully, everything went well. No doubt about it, I'm blessed in so many ways. Thanks for watching. God's peace Brad. Mr. Ed
You beautiful man! Thank you for sharing this with us and saving yet another hive> It's also really fun to hear a person I don't expect to say "awesome sauce".
What us crazy beekeepers do to get a hive of bees. Bad ass chainsaw. I took a hive out of a building about a month ago and I had the same problem liquid honey and soft wax I put in 2 five gallon buckets that I let the yard Rob it out. I didn’t have the fancy vacuum so I sprayed them down good with sugar water and dumped them by the handfuls in a hive after I rubber banded as much brood comb as I could. I was not sure if I got the queen. Sealed up the hive and took it a new location. Luckily I got the queen and this hive exploded to the point I had to put 2 deeps on top so they had room to put the fall flow. I had to use a sawzal while 20 feet in the air on a lift and of course it started raining.
What a GREAT wrangling story Larry! I often amazed myself at the lengths I will go to just to get some bees. I hope you realize that we have a disease. Keep up your good works and bee safe. By the way, what part of the world are you in? God's peace brother. Mr. Ed
