The development of a feral bee hive 30 days after it was removed from a house and put into a bee box 

It make you feel good to know you saved them from certain death and to see them with a little help start thriving. Great job Mr. Ed!!!

I love it when you include some "Bee roll" at the end.

One of the videos I should have made this year would have been the bees cutting the rubber bands and dragging them out of the hive. It's amazing how they do this. They first secure the comb to the frames and then remove the rubber bands.... absolutely amazing how they figure this out.

The rubber bands!!!! That is incredible. What amazing little creatures, seriously

Glad you started video with mowing the around the bees. Fun to watch others doing it but less fun doing it myself. I always fret about the mowing and suit up like I’m going to war.

So fascinating that they take out the rubber band.. This is a very impressive video Mr. Ed......

Brought some of the honey you gave me to the lake house this weekend. Was telling my brother that this video was where we did the video we did together

Great vid as usual, Mr. Ed. So glad tho bees you wrangled are thriving. With you as their keeper, I never had a doubt. God's Peace, Vicki

Mr Ed, it’s good to see both colonies have adjusted well to life at the Abby. Hopefully they will produce honey next year and earn their keep. You definitely did the right thing by not opening those hives when the bees were taking pollen from the feeder. I would have been scared to set them up that close to the feeder but I know that you know a lot more about bees than I do! Thanks for the video and we both know God is in control.

Letting you know that your content has further helped me overcome my fear of bees 🥰 Again, went from almost running off a cliff to evade a honeybee, to now being able to clip and tend my herbs with honeybees just inches away. Still flinch when I hear buzzing, and have to say aloud "Hello bees, don't mind me. Just doing my own thing, please just keep on with your beezy business." But, would have never even dreamed to do that in the past. Keep doing what you're doing, it makes a difference!

Our ivy flow is on right now here in Baltimore...massive amounts of natural plant based pollen and nectar to raise those winter nurse bees and plenty of late winter bee bread being stored around the winter brood nest for massive buildups as they move out into early spring...gotta love those late season flows.

That last frame the bee who wanted her 15 nanoseconds of fame. Your joy over these successful hives is wonderful. God bless you Jeff.

I'm so happy for you and the bees that these 2 hives are doing well mr. Ed. I find it extremely interesting to see the follow up of some cutout hives so if you have time I would appreciate some more of this videos. But only if you are able to sir because the bees have priority! Some very nice footage of the bees using the pollen feeder. It always looks so cute when they come in the hive with those little clusters of pollen on their hind legs. Thanks to you and Randy and some other beekeepers I learned a lot about bees. I always had a love for nature but now I look even more fondly when I see the pollinaters buzzing about around in our garden.

Nice to see how your cut out bee's are developing.

💖🕇💖 Thank you Mr Ed

So glad that the hives from recent cut-outs are doing so well. Nice to see that they have a good chance of survival through the upcoming winter season. Love to see Mr. Ed caring for some of God's creatures. Take care, stay safe, God bless. 🐝 🐝 🐝

Wow! Wonderful news! Thank you for sharing your Abbey Bees with us❤️🙏❤️🙏

Always nice to followup and see how they are doing. You should do this more often sir! Thank you!!

The architecture and building skills never ceases to amaze me

Here in western NY golden rod is in full bloom with other late flowers

Always a pleasure to watch your videos Jeff! Thank you for sharing

Mr. Ed, although I'm not a bee 🐝 keeper l really do enjoy watching the channel 👍 keep rangling those bee's and I'll keep watching. Prayers for many blessings to keep coming your way.

New subscriber here. I'm not into bee's, but I just love your videos. Thank you for sharing. :)

Great video as always Mr. Ed. To a God be the Glory!

The fact that they take out the rubber bands on their own is so amazing! 🐝🐝

Heart warming to see that small colony surviving. Well done Jeff.

There was a pair of love bugs on the pollen feeder. I haven't seen any since I lived in Shreveport/Bossier City. Really enjoyed this video, Jeff. Since you were wearing your bee suit, I was hoping to see you being chased while mowing. 🤭

to say you make this look easy is the is the biggest understatement ever. ten bee stings later, i’m through with my one beehive for today ~ maybe forever. in the process, i’m not even sure what i did. he only thing i know for sure is that after about thirty minutes of looking through the two brood box and one super, some bees got in my suit so i took off running. i tore off my bee suit as fast as i could, but dozens of bees were chasing me. i ran out of the back yard, up the driveway, and across the street. they were still chasing me. what started it was, i was going to check the honey super. then i saw a huge ball of bees that extended from the hive opening to underneath the screen bottom board, and all over the two cinder blocks the hive was sitting on. my biggest mistake was getting into beekeeping in 2016. the $500-plus initial investment should have been enough to scare me away. i got 23 half-pint jars of honey in 2017 ~ that’s it, ever. since then i’ve spend hundreds of dollars on more hives, replacing dead bees, queens, and swarm commander. anyway, i think i mostly scooped up all the outside bees and put them in another box about 50 feet away. and, took some frames out of the other two boxes and put them in the new box. as you probably know, these stories go on and on. i don’t know what i did, and in the process, i forgot everything i learned from you. i’ve showered, taken two benadryl, and am staring out the window. i don’t feel good, and can’t even say why. this whole thing is crazy.

I would like to hear the church bells. A video about them would be excellent!

It’s so weird. I did 2 cut outs this year. The first one has been struggling and I had to re-queen them as she didn’t survive the initial move. The second one has gone all out! I walked up to the NUC a week after I put them in my yard and saw all these stringy things out the front. As a new bee keeper, I thought to myself “what kind of worms are in my hive? Is it going move to my others?” It turned out that they had cut all the rubber bands from the cut out and were pushing them out the door.

Thank you for the update!! I was wondering how that little hive was doing since when you cut it out it was so full of hive beetles. So happy to know it is doing well. Sure do enjoy your videos. They are always a highlight to the week. Thank you!!!

I like that you're training your subscribers to spot queens from six feet away. I had to put this up on the big screen so I could almost see her. How did you know you had "cat brood"? Was it the ammonia smell?

Thank you for the update and giving us a glimpse of how you care for the bee’s. God bless .

A great 👍 save of two hives under great stress, love 💕 those bees 🐝. God bless you Geoff and your team.

Fantastic well done I understand the feeling you have when you see bees thriving. Blessings to you and your family today 👍🏽❤️❤️❤️❤️

So nice to see you providing pollen supplement. Fascinating how they cut the rubber bands and remove them from the box. Clever little things. Tku for sharing.

Hi Jeff, great looking hives mate the bees are getting stronger with that honey your feeding them with. Thank you for saving these colonies and best of luck to them. Thank you Jeff for sharing your vlog and god bless my friend.

Nice looking new cutout hives. You just never know. My hives don't mind my grass cutting. I do make sure the discharge is away from the hives opening.

Fantastic as always Mr Ed. With love from Sukes in the UK. Xx

Another great video Mr Ed, You take great care of the bees. God bless you and all of your creatures. I am leaving for the hunting camp in a few minutes for 10 days,303 miles by truck then 25 miles by airboat.

I also love how excited you get when your removing a hive and you find the big butt Queen! Love watching you Mr. ED and will be contacting you soon via email about my honey order at the end of October!

Hello Mr. Ed. How pleased I am to see those bees doing well, especially the ones in the second hive. Thank you very much for sharing with us. God bless and see you soon.

I have never done a cutout and it is interesting to see the bees fill in the frames. I really look forward to your videos. Learn something every time and I can tell you really care for the bees. Thanks for what you do and God bless.

Love that you gave us a follow up on some of the removals you had. I often wonder how they are doing after you take them back to the Abby ... great videos keep up the good work

both looked awesome thumbs up shared your buddy is a good dancer lol

l soure do like looking in those bee hive box's....Thanks my friend...God Bless stay safe...!

I love you, I follow you, it is nice, you are raising bees, you are making a nice tour on the bees of your brother from Iraq, thank you, Mr.E d

Good to see the beetle infested colony is getting there. We definitely need more follow-up videos..

I got too close once and they worked me over as I ran to the house, ended my beekeeping,lol. :) Free range bees.

Fascinating! Thanks Mr. Ed.

If you had that many good frames bowling you'd be on the pro circuit. Keep on rolling jeff!

Sending prayers your way that you stay safe in this storm.

I have finally won the battle over the wasp my mosquito guy told me to go get Delta dust that was the best stuff I went from a hundred wasp in my basement to just one this morning great video Mr Ed keep up the great work

I'm glad you made an update on those feral hives. I enjoy learning how genetics plays into the viability of a wild bee population.

Loving your content, we had a little swarm on a branch on my little farm this summer, called a local beekeeper, who was so so happy to get some new bees. I have to admit i was a little sad to see them go, as i love the little buzzers, but i feel like we don’t have enough knowledge about bees yet to get our own hives, so im eager to learn!!

Thank you !

I didn't realize they would go through a stress period from being removed from the old to the new hive and the numbers would go down. Glad to know these will both make it though. Have a great day

Thanks for the overview.

4:33 "For God's sake, open the silo doors! They're coming for us, it's our only way out! Om my God, we're dooooooomed!" I'm sorry... I was just playing Half Life a little while ago and that was the first thing I thought of when you took the lid off and those beautiful girls started coming out of the top. But seriously, I love watching you, JP and 628 - the friendly rivalry you have is a delight to follow and I appreciate how all of you have such different styles, personalities and approaches to your craft but also are all still very informative, educational and patient with people who approach you with questions about beekeeping. I always feel like I've learned something new whenever I watch videos from you guys.

Quarantine has won. I am watching you cut the grass!

Great video Jeff I was Blessed to be able to catch a couple of swarms last summer they seem to be doing well so far.

You truly are "the bee whisperer," Mr Ed! Even when you're driving a mower right next to the hives it didn't appear as if they were very upset. I believe the bees know that they are in very good hands with you.

Thank you for sharing. Makes me happy to watch your videos. #GodLovesAll #Peace

Worrying about you my bee friends in path of hurricanes. You brighten my day every day! Are you all OK? My love and prayers are with you!!🙏❤️❤️❤️

Nice progress on the two cutouts. You had a candid camera going there for a moment. Lol. I wish that they made a smaller version of that particular feeder for those of us with only a few hives. For now I have made a couple of feeders made out of PVC pipe that work well. I have wondered thought, if the column of feed avalanches onto them as they burrow into it at the bottom. Take care Jeff.

Hello Jeff Thanks good mowing Ha Ha

You know, some abbeys have sheep for that. ;-) But it looks like you enjoyed cutting the grass. God’s blessings on you my friend, and thanks for another great video.

Yay! My favorite channel!

Thanks for that reminder, I have to cut grass too... Or maybe I continue calling it robbery protection ;) ...

Always a joy to watch your videos Jeff!..I can never get my bees to hit the ultra bee. Maybe they dint need it but it's there! Take care!

Thanks for the update! It's nice to hear they are doing well under your care. I haven't seen any of the northeastern beekeepers I watch use those pollen feeders; they seem to just lay the pollen out in wide, shallow box. I'll have to ask them about the difference.

The goldenrod is just now blooming here in north Alabama. Looks to be a good flower crop.👍🐝

Hi 👋🏽 Mr. ED I am here Checking you out., Wish I wasn’t Afraid of bee 🐝 but I am., my Sister was highly Allergic and Carried a EPI PEN 🖊 but she’s no longer with us. God Bless you Mr. ED because you are highly Favor by God 10-10-2021🙏🏾🙏🏾💕💕👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽❤️🐝🐝🐝. You always put God in your Bee 🐝 keeping, I know you know to always put God First in our lives🙏🏾🙏🏾

I never realized how those lawn mowers look fun like a go kart!

Great video Mr. Ed! Glad to see the nuc hive doing so well.

Man, Mother Nature just will NOT leave you guys alone this year. Praying Sally peters out.

I didnt know that bees eat polen. Well everyday is a good day to learn something new :) thank you

You should do more follow-ups, I always wonder how the bees are doing now.

Smashing video Jeff, I wonder how the bees know how to start work on a new frame, or how they work together to drag out a rubber band? That rubber band to them must be like a 10 foot wide 1 mile long rubber conveyor belt would be to us, I mean can you imagine trying to drag one of those on your own? They must have some way of distributing labour and working together to split the tasks, like we can talk to each other, like "hey Jeff come over here and give a us hand with this 10 foot wide 1 mile long rubber conveyor belt thing, I can't drag it on my own" do you think they do it by eye movements and nodding their head or waving their antennae lol?

Hello Mr Ed, muito bom dia gostei muito desse alimentador das abelhas,e esses enchames são muito dócio .Parabéns que Deus continue sempre abençoando seu trabalho. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝

Hello Mr. Ed, Good to see that your bees are doing well. I was wondering how the bees dealt with those rubber bands. They are very organized and tidy little critters, very fascinating so they are. Be Good, Be Safe and God Bless you all.

2 luvbugs bombed your video doing their thang! 😂

hello yet again

Hope you guys are staying safe with this next bunch of hurricanes.

Hi, now we can see how awsome it was that you had wrangled the bees. You can be proud of yourself, that's for sure. I am happy that I found your channel. I know that I repeat myself, but it is what it is and how it is. Have a great weekend, too. Now it's already Saturday in the evening. Tomorrow we have mayor election and district council election and also local elections here in North Rhine Westfalia. Oha. First time, that I offered my help. I am a little bit nervous ;-) Stay healthy. Yours Beate Maria

If you used sand paper to make the landing of the bees a bit rough, that'll be just fine am assuming 😃 and if you painted the neck of the feeder black; so that the light won't penetrate and bees won't be flying in that neck thinking they can escape out ... just a suggestion 😊

WOW 😮 those bees are gone crazy over that pollen feeder! Where can I find them pollen substrate feeder and pollen substrate?

I need to hang around good people like you

Just kill the grass and plant clover around the hives. You'll never have to mow near the bees, and they will love the clover.

mr.ed, one thing i never hear you say after a swarm call is that you do not treat the bee's. but i have noticed that you do place them away from an established yard. maybe for the same reason in case they do need to be treated.

Brother I wish I had your faith. I lack in that department when I meet God I'm more likely to get the stick than the hug

Talk about "brood pattern" sometime, please!

Learn something new with every video. Great viewing.

thanks for info on the bees. new friend here.

You will find the price on that bag of pollen has gone way up! Still the best pollen on the market in my opinion. HBM

Hi Mr. Ed, Looking at the first bee hive you went through and listening to you talk about it has me thinking they are probably descendants from the dirt roosters bee genetics. He may be wanting his royalty rights from them. 😂🤣😂 God bless you.

Buy the Ultra bee by the palet is a lot cheaper.You can make Ultra bees patties .50% sugar plus 50%ultra bee... mixit well with a small ciment mixer add water with a little prohealth from Mann Lake.Those bee will love the patties.Have the Best!!

Do you treat for mites or even check for mites? Everyone keeps telling me I need to do this but not convinced it is required.

Cutting it (pun intended) pretty darn close to those beehives

The Dirt Rooster is still just a Mr.Ed wannabee hahahaha, another great and informative video Mr. Ed keep them coming and i will keep watching them.
