I was talking to a beekeeper at L.A. HONEY Co. years ago and he would throw his frames with wax moths in his chicken coup, he said that they did a great job.
When I get a dead out with active wax moth larva in it, I bring it over to the chickens and give them a buffet. Those are some tasty eggs afterwards. Thanks for watching. God's peace. Mr. Ed
You are going to love how good the tool works cleaning up the foundations. Thanks for watching, and I hope you will check out more of my over 600 bee wrangling/ bee rescue adventure videos 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
I was actually going to type this exact comment out recommending an oscillating tool with a smooth scraper blade made for linoleum. Harbor freight has some excellent options for battery powered models and high output batteries for field work with long life. If you were to use a hot water bath, would that do the same thing? With something to hold the frames under the surface, the wax should float, solids should sink, and any contaminants that remain in the wax can be removed after skimming. Just a thought. I was thinking of a grease interceptor in a restaurant and how it could streamline cleaning a large number of frames.
@@JeffHorchoff look into adding a grease interceptor into your system. It doesn’t need to be fancy and it can be homemade (I am/was a plumber) because it is simply a sealed vessel of water (at first) that uses reduced water flow to allow gravity to separate different density liquids and solids. It’s important that it stays vented so that you don’t cause a siphon by accident, and you will also have to make it easy to clean, so I recommend plastic. You need to have a flow restrictor as the water comes in that disperses the water sideways and down, and generally the first screens only filter through the top half of the water and there’s usually one perforated and one solid, the third screen is generally a solid screen that comes Halfway up the height of the tub and that can be perforated or solid, but that is on the bottom to keep the solids from filling all the way to the outflow. The 4th screen is always solid and goes 2/3 of the way to the bottom of the vessel from the top and you can have a short 5th wall that is just past the 5th if you want to catch any solid debris that gets past. The outflow will always come from under the water line, and should be at least half way down the vessel so that it always gets clean water without solids or grease/wax. Besides making sure that you never get wax down the drain, it should make future clean up easier
Hi Jeff! You made short work of those foundations and frames! It also looks like you've been doing some real organizing out there. I had not considered using the flush-cut oscillating saw, wow such a great tip! Nice hot-dip tank also... you seem to have all of the fun tools. Wishing you all the best this weekend and through the Christmas season! :) See you in January! Afterthought, have you considered using an air lance in your hot water kettle so the hot water gets moved around the frames?
Professor Fred, I hope one day you will be able to visit me at the abbey, and I'll give you free reign with all the cool tools I have access to. Who knows, maybe by the time you get here I'll even have an air lance to play with as well. I'm looking forward to seeing you in just a few weeks, till then, God's peace brother. Mr. Ed
We all feel the pinch of the cost of equipment which is why I'm cleaning my own frames.

Mr ed, I followed and watched ur videos for years. Yourself and the dirt rooster helped get me into bee keeping. I appreciate ur efforts in wrangling and bee keeping, please continue to share ur experiences with the rest of us. God bless
Thank you for the idea for cleaning the frames! We modified the idea using a 10 gallon stainless pot over a turkey frier, dunk hem in for a few short minutes then turn them over for a few and you are done! Thanks for the great time saving idea!
I always love hearing how the methods I employ in my beekeeping can be helpful to someone else. I also appreciate how you modify the technique to suit your own personal style, awesome! 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 Bruce. Mr. Ed
Thanks for showing us the hot water cleaning method🎉 The frames look so pretty! I was thinking about using my large crawfish boiling pot but the wax may ruin it?? Or a #5 washtub instead? Any advice is welcome! Also, I hope you use ear plugs when you use the oscillating tool! Great video🎉 Isn’t it nice to finally have cool weather for the beekeeping tasks.
If you use your crawfish pot, there will be beeswax left behind. I highly recommend that any utensil that is used to melt beeswax be used ONLY for that as it will always have wax in it. Trust me, I will be wearing earplugs the next time. Thank you for your concern and for watching. Thank goodness for cooler weather, I can get some jobs done now. God's peace. Mr. Ed
I think it would do a great job as well. Unfortunately, I do not have one.

Aw man! I’m just now seeing this video 😢. Just spent countless hours cleaning frames with a hive tool and a heat gun. Time to go to Harbor freight. Still have 30 more to do.
At least you did not finish the job and you will be ready for next years work. I love Harbor Freight. 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.

Hello Mr Ed, muito boa tarde, aparelho interessante e inteligente de fazer a limpeza dos quadros,parabéns pelo vídeo, que DEUS abençoe. 🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝
First thing I thought of was fire and torching the moth leftovers lightly so they burn. I just remember an experiment with spider webs and fire in my life. Know nothing of wax moths, don't know if it would work or not.
All of my life I have had a fascination for fire, I just love it, and to see something burning is just so satisfying and cool. I think that very few guys feel differently....especially a country boy like me. And yes, it would work. 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’s amazing to me to see all the work that goes into bee keeping. I would never have known what goes on behind the scenes had you not been so generous with this info. Bee keeping is an art, you make it look easy. I pray you have continued success in all you put your hands to. God bless you.
Your blessings, kind words of encouragement, and the fact you watch so many of my videos is greatly appreciated, thank you very much for everything. Until the next one, God's peace Janet. Mr. Ed
A few questions: do you do anything with the propolis that gets “melted” off? What happens next with the foundations? Also, when you render that wax, do the moth remnants get filtered out? (I’m assuming so, as other stuff does get filtered out). Glad you are getting cooler temps and finally got some rain. I lived in Slidell during several storms/ hurricanes and did a lot of sand bagging’! Don’t ever recall having a burn ban! (Was there from 4/01 to 11/02) Loved my time there but am happy back home in Michigan! Thanks & blessings to you!
I do nothing with propolis. With all the jobs I do already, I'm not interested in taking on another one. The plastic foundation will be pressure washed, video link below, as soon as I get a chance to do it. Yes, the cocoons from the wax moth are cleaned off the frame, either by the hot water or a scraping tool right after it comes out of the water. 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 ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-ApZWa-Kljts.html
I’ve watched several of ur videos before, im always trying to learn as much as possible. One person told me to use vinegar instead of bleach to clean boldly frames, have you ever used it? Which is ur favorite extractor you used? What are ur thoughts on using just one deep brood box? Using deep boxes for supers looks like it will be alot more work and harder on the back, is there any benefit of using deeps for supers?
There are many products that will work to help clean the frames, vinegar being one of them I think, but for me, straight up water works great. The video link below is a video I did on extractor comparisons, check it out. For my money, I'd pick the Hillco model. I use a double brood box and I'm VERY happy with that. Still, many folks use a singe brood box, it's up to you. For me the main benefit of using all deep supers is it's only one frame size and that make them interchangeable with my honey supers if I need to swap honey frames because the queen went up to the third box and laid, I also don't use excluders. Thanks for watching. God's peace. Mr. Ed
I watched you do a comparison video on the extractors. I’ve always done medium supers for honey, but was wondering why some people use deeps, I think it will be too much work on my back to be lifting deeps all the time so I will stick to medium supers. I’ve always tried to do two deeps and sometimes deep and a medium for brood box, but I’m going to try to use a single deep and on some a double medium and then a queen excluder, I don’t mind if I get a little less honey but I think they will overwinter better in a single box, for some reason I can’t really get my colonies to be very strong going into winter. I fed them a lot for few months before the winter but didn’t seem they had too much food going into the winter. I’ll try to do sugar candy for them soon and see what happens this year. Do you do sugar candy for them and what ratio of water do you use for 10lb of sugar, in one video I’ve seen one person add I believe it was some white vinegar, he said it’s to help that the sugar candy doesn’t get mold. Do you know anything about that?
Everything depends on the environment the bees live in. Your method of keeping bees has to revolve around the conditions in your particular area. As I am not familiar with those conditions, it's best to find someone, possibly from a member of a bee club in your area, who can instruct you better than I can. One great thing about keeping bees is there are many consistent's as bee biology is always the same. However, because of variables in conditions, one's methodology has to consider those variables. Keep up your efforts and learn all you can, you will succeed. Thanks for watching. God's peace. Mr. Ed
There are so many hats a beekeeper wears, and I guess being a barber will have to be another one!

I was really impressed how much easier it was to clean the frames using hot water. Nothing new about the method, but it was new for me and I wanted to share that. Thank you for your blessings and for watching early. God's peace brother. Mr. Ed
Good morning Jeff and thank you for adding greatly to my day! Watching you clean those frames makes me realize that one of these days there will no longer be any wax foundation in any of my hives. Happy holidays and God bless!
I started using wax foundations from the start and I loved them until I got an extractor and started blowing out comb. I have no regrets using plastic foundation. Thank you for your blessings and holiday wishes. God's peace Ken. Mr. Ed
The method you suggest would work nicely, but for me, the way I did it this time works great for me and I will be perfecting it as I go.

@@JeffHorchoff yes the multi tool looks like it worked good! I do watch all your videos lol.. I'm on my 3rd year of beekeeping & I constantly watch all of yours & the other old pros on RU-vid for information & tips on how to do certain things.. I really love all your cut out & swarm trapping videos & how you do the double screen boards in springtime.
The wax is self filtering, all the debris settles to the bottom of the water. I have lots of videos on rendering beeswax, and if you go to my channel, look under "rendering beeswax" in the playlist. God's peace Ray. Mr. Ed
The blade started out having teeth, but after doing so many frames, the wax filled in the gaps and the blade became a straight edge. Surprisingly, it worked just as good with the teeth as it did when it became a straight edge. You are going to love how quickly it cleans off the foundation. 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
I use both. The multi tool to scrape the wax off, and the pressure washer to clean up the foundation after the wax is off. Thanks for watching. God's peace. Mr. Ed
Would dipping them in extremely hot to boiling water make it melt all the yuck off? Seems like it would be super easy that way. Have a blessed day, Mr. Ed.
The plastic foundations will deform if dipped into water over 175 degress. It's best to remove it and use the pressure washer to clean it.

By the way, I post a new video every Friday morning, and I look forward to hearing from you again soon. God's peace Gerald. Mr. Ed
I think it may work, but the frames would have to be placed into the fryer long ways instead of sideways. Also, if you use a fryer, know that there will be a wax coating in it after using it to clean the frames, and that may not be such a good idea. I strongly recommend having a pot JUST for cleaning frames.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
Somebody told me to put some beach in the hot water. Or just plain water is fine? If ur cleaning any frames that have a little bit of mold, is that when you use bleach in water or just plain hot water?
Though I don't do it, using bleach to clean frames is a very common practice, and I have been told it works great in hot water as well. Thanks for watching. God's peace. Mr. Ed
It will knock off webs, but not the really stuck on parts, that takes elbow grease and hot water to get that stuff off.

I am hoping to make a video on that one day. I know it would work just fine, but I have not gotten a steam generator large enough to get it to work well. Stay tuned, I will bee making that video. God's peace. Mr. Ed
Possibly. I do like the idea of using an ultrasonic cleaner, but all I have is simply a kettle, and I have to say, it did a great job.

Rachael, thank you so much for becoming a member to my channel, your gift humbles me and I thank you for your generosity. The hot water really does a quick number on cleaning the frames with a lot less elbow grease. Delighted to see you taking advantage of one of your perks, early viewing of my videos. Again, thank you so much for your additional support. Until the next one, God's peace. Mr. Ed
There’s so much work involved with maintaining beehives and harvesting honey!! No wonder it’s so expensive!! So much hands on, manual labor in every step! Thanks for showing us the entire cycle!
I'm very happy to tell the story and share my experiences, thank you so much for taking the time to follow along. Until the next one, God's peace Cheryl. Mr. Ed
I have seen videos on using steam to clean frames and it does work, and for that reason, I'm trying to make a video on the very same thing.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 can certainly see how the prospect of that work seems tedious compared to everything else you do, but it must feel very satisfying once it's done. Especially with you refining how you're doing it too. I look forward to seeing the wax rendering from it all.
For me, beekeeping is a lot more than just taking care of bees, it's the challenge, both good and bad, of dealing with the many faucets of all of it. Heck, that's what life is all about as well. God's peace Suzanne. Mr. Ed
Those time resolving tricks of days gone by may still bring forward simplicity Mr. Ed. 80 Degrees sounds really nice about right now. With your hot water bath technique, does that also eliminate not only moths or moth eggs, but does the processes rid any possible carryover of mites or other like pests from fall into spring? Already looking forward to the combined antics of you and Good Time Charlie! Hope you have a wonderful weekend! -Bob...
Good morning Mr.Ed, I have joined your membership. My wife said we just love you and can't wait till you and Mona come visit us. We enjoyed all your videos this year.
I can't thank you enough for becoming a member to my channel, thank you so much for your gift as well as the invitation to stay at the Applewood Farm for a few days. We both are looking forward to the visit with you and your wife and your bees as well. Don't forget, Mona and I both love our food with a lot of jalapeños so don't worry about making the food to hot for us. Thanks for watching. God's peace. Mr. Ed
Had an idea as you explained this, if you dump in the frames and used the box to hold them down it's a one shot deal. :D Thanks for sharing this video! Great info, God bless!
It took me a while to figure that out, but in the end, that's exactly what I did and it really sped up the process. Thank you for your blessings and for watching. Until the next one, God's peace. Mr. Ed
Mr. ED Very helpful video I love how you do things simple. I have one last question on the honey wax separator i hope i am not making you bord by machine spification questions😢 You have told me that you start slow and when the capping balance you increase the speed. What is the minimum and maximum speed you use form your experience to separate your honey from the capping? thanks
I really do not know the RPM's of the rotation of the drum. That number may be found by goggling it. I'm sorry I can not be more helpful. Again, I begin the spinning very slowly and this allows the sludge to evenly distribute inside of the drum. Once the mass has all worked it's way to the edge of the drum, I gradually increase the RPM's working within the wobbles of the machine. God's peace brother. Mr. Ed
Karen, thank you so very much for becoming a member to my channel, I am honored by your gift and the support it gives me. The tool really is a worker and I find new uses for it all the time. Again, thank you for becoming a member and until the next one, God's peace. Mr. Ed
All them frames must have been intimidating at first but look great now! The kettle and dremel did great! The boy scout rule I carry with me from childhood is to leave the (metaphorical) campsite cleaner than you found it. It keeps my wife very happy LOL!! Good luck with the wintering process. I wonder if youve seen the recent study about how modern beekeeping boxes stress bees unnecessarily during the winter.. any thoughts on that?
I just read the article yesterday, a monk gave it to me. I told the monk not to worry, the bees are just fine in their man made boxes. Thanks for watching. God's peace. Mr. Ed
One question... the blades on the power tool go dull really fast normally. Does it not matter for cutting off the nasty wax? Might be a good use for all the bad blades! Just need wider blades. And why clean off the propolis (other than the groove)? The next bees can utilize it, and will just replace it! (written as a truly lazy beekeeper!) Bless you brother.
I actually found when the blade gets clogged with wax, it worked just as good. This was especially true on the video from the removal of the bees from the RV a few weeks back. The blade was so full of wax and honey it was almost smooth and it still preformed fantastically. Since I want my frames as clean as possible, I want the propolis off as well. I think that's my ADD. See you in a few weeks brother. Thanks for your blessings and for watching. God's peace Tony. Mr. Ed
As a new keeper i gues my turn will come. And im not looking forward to it. 😂😂 But. Thanx for the knowledge. Always learning from you. God bless u real good
The best part of being a beekeeper is the journey, the good and the bad. You are going to love it! Thank you for your blessings and for watching. God's peace brother. Mr. Ed
I can't thank you enough for becoming a member to my channel, your gift and support humble me. I know you are relatively new to my channel and I thank you for being a part of it. The bon fire has been going on for more than 20 years, and I'm all in for them to continue to do so. Glad to see you took advantage of the early showing of the video, I hope you liked the sneak peak. By the way, it would be nice to know your name so I can connect you better. Until the next one, God's peace. Mr. Ed
I tried straining it out but my method did not prove successful. I would have loved to have gotten the propolis, and there was so little wax it was not even worth trying. Thanks for watching. God's peace Mark. Mr. Ed
I do not harvest the propolis. I know I'm missing out, but it's a job I'm not interested in doing. Thank you for your blessings and for watching. Until the next one, God's peace brother. Mr. Ed
I made a tool to clean the grooves in the top and bottom bars from a paint can opener that most paint stores give you when you buy paint. I ground the hook portion to the width of the grooves. It works very well. enjoyed the video, and God bless.
Ah no was just typing a comment when the fire started and when you said thats just the reminants of it the sily auto play went onto another video on some one else channel and my comment disappeared before I had even finnished it lol In a nut shell was saying how awesome that motrized hive tool is ans it would also be very useful on rescue jobs for cleaning up difficult to reach places after all the bees have been rescued. I will keep an eye on 628 Dirt Rooster channel and will let you know if he steals your idea hahaha Great video! Hope y'all have a great weekend! we have freezing temps here and snow forecast.
I saw the weather yesterday with all the snow that is up north, I am so happy I live in the deep south. Stay warm. Thanks for watching. God's peace. Mr. Ed
I had never heard of this technique! Thank you so much for sharing! I’m going to give this a try. But quick question: I would need to use my canning pot that I use for pressure cooking. Does your big kettle get nasty from this process? I mean does it clean out or is your pot now coated in propolis and gunk? My kitchen stuff gets involved with the bees more than it should 😂
To answer your question, yes, there is ALWAYS a wax residue left behind every single time you work with beeswax and water. For that reason, I would not use my expensive kitchen utensils when doing this. Thanks for watching. God's peace. Mr. Ed
Sherry, thank you so much for becoming a member, you honor me with your gift, and I am extremly appreciative for it. Happy to see you taking advantage of the early release, and always a pleasure hearing from you. Until the next one, God's peace. Mr. Ed
@JeffHorchoff I so much enjoy your videos I am Allergic to bees but I would try on a cut out with a full suit on we have a friend that got bees and we send him your videos so he can learn more his bees bounce into his trees so I told him how to get them back and he did so now he has his bees back God speed Mr. Ed.
It is odd how ideas are right in front of us an we just can not see them till someone Elsa shows us. I have been doing my frame also an just about done but now I can use this idea next season. Thanks to Mr. Ed
I use it all, and I have a dozen videos showing how I clean it and what I use the rendered wax for. The link below is just one of them. 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 suppose you could but the problem is holding the frame in place while it is being washed. Also, high pressure would surely tear up the wood so you'd have to keep an eye out for that. Thanks for watching. God's peace Gene. Mr. Ed
Isn't that the truth, why struggle with something that just works when there is already a tool out there to get the job done correct and fast. Thanks for watching. God's peace Brett. Mr. Ed
You said you are still pulling honey supers, here is my comment and question. I tried to spin my honey frames and with the cold temp it would not spin out. What do you do? Ps im a backyard beekeeper and dont have any equipment like you have. Thanks
Since our temps are still warm, our honey will spin out. My suggestion, bring your honey supers into your house for a few days allowing the honey to warm up. After that, you should be able to get it out of the comb with no problems. Let me know how you do. God's peace brother. Mr. Ed
He was pulling honey supers back in October (when the video started) and he has a nice climate. Make sure the frames are at least 25 C / 77 F (keep them in a room with that temperature overnight), that should take care of most of it.
I had a vision of something like an industrial dishwashing machine... Hang the frames on a rack (like the decapping tank) and a conveyor belt and it just Sprays hot water on them as they go through and the hot water/wax drains out the bottom.
That's a really "cool" idea! I had some old frames and dipped them in a mixer of. Bleach and water. They cleaned up nicely. Now how do you clean you foundations? Great video. Thank you.
I have been told how effective adding bleach to the water is, and I will be doing it the next time I clean frames to find out for myself. The video link below shows how I clean the foundation which is my next job. Thanks for watching. God's peace Jon. Mr. Ed ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-ApZWa-Kljts.html
If I was using natural wax as my foundation, I'd still clean the frame as best I could using hot water. After the frame is cleaned, attach the foundation. With the frame all cleaned it should be very easy to do. Thanks for watching. God's peace. Mr. Ed
I do so appreciate your kindness Larry, thank you, and I still need your address. Send it to me on my email address: oscelata@gmail.com God's peace brother. Mr. Ed
The utility tool does not hurt the plastic in any way. Now when I hit the wood it will nick it, but that matters not. Thanks for watching. God's peace. Mr. Ed
That is done with a pressure washer. The video link below shows that. Thanks for watching. God's peace Jake. Mr. Ed ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-ApZWa-Kljts.html
