Bees! Bees! And more bees! The largest bee hive removal of the year!

[@kam70111]

Is this your largest removal to date? Thank you.

[@JeffHorchoff]

Possibly so, but I have done several large removals over the year. If you are interested in seeing a few, check out the video link below and let me know what you though of those. Thanks for watching. God's peace. Mr. Ed kzbin.info/www/bejne/aYGspaaFp92KjLc

@@JeffHorchoff No you have a bigger one where you had to demolish a whole house hahaha Still havent uploaded though have you hahaha

[@leannkennedy6568]

Pretty nice group of bees.

[@KDVoller]

I don't think I have ever seen this video. What a crazy large hive. Welcome to that old Weyerhaeuser siding, it stays wet and turns to mush. It was recalled and we did a lot of replacement. This was a cool video.

[@JeffHorchoff]

I'll always remember the vast number of drones from this removal. Never had I seen so many, it seemed there were just as many drones as workers. Glad you finally got to see it, and yes, that was some nasty siding. I was building houses in the early 80's and that stuff was everywhere, and I remember when the law suits began. Thanks for watching. God's peace Karen. Mr. Ed

[@davecolvin310]

I like to thank Jesus all day.for all things big and small.and hearing you praise him makes the chanel extra special

[@robynandrews4384]

Amen 🙏 ❤️

[@feathershed]

Mr Ed, we are going to need a bigger………..vacuum!

[@JeffHorchoff]

It was fortunate I had 2 of them with me on this one, we needed them both. Thanks for watching. God's peace. Mr. Ed

[@genehasenbuhler2594]

How many bee's? There's a BUNCH that's how many😝👍

[@JeffHorchoff]

My guess, over 50,000. Thanks for watching. God's peace Gene. Mr. Ed

[@richardgrumpywelsh2485]

You needed 2 Bee Vacs for a job that large, it was a very good video. God bless your crew and the bees

[@JeffHorchoff]

We had and used 2 vacs on this one Richard, I'm glad we had two that day. Thank you for your blessings and for watching. God's peace brother. Mr. Ed

[@bigjohn3435]

get some white tarps for the next one. lay them on the ground to catch the bees. lift the edge and jiggle it to get them slid to the comb and out of the way. it'll keep the ground debris separated from the bees to make vacuuming easier and faster.

[@JeffHorchoff]

Great tip John, thanks for sharing and for watching. Until the next one, God's peace brother. Mr. Ed

[@jenineclonch6359]

Just doing my part to help keep bees going in the world. 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.

[@chelsealeonardbaum23]

Thank you to our favorite bee keepers!!!!

[@davidgiddens8895]

Wow!!What a gigantic colony.The amazing thing to me is that these bees not only survived without any treatments from man but were thriving. I'm not sure if after you got them back to the Abby you found anymore queens. If not then I would like to see those genetics passed on to future queens. Seeing videos like this is part of the reason I'm a Beekeeper. Thanks for sharing!

[@JeffHorchoff]

The queen we captured was the only queen in this hive, and like you said, they have survived all this time without human intervention. As I am a "treatment free" beekeeper, the health of this colony is no surprise to me. I have been keeping bees in southeast Louisiana for 45 years and have never treated my bees. Currently I maintain 150 plus hives with annual losses of between 17% to 35% which is below the national levels of losses. Treatment free works for me, but I feel each beekeeper needs to decide for themselves wether it's best to treat or not.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 David. Mr. Ed

I live in Shreveport, La. and started beekeeping in 2014 at which time I started watching you along with JP , Dirt Rooster's . I enjoy them all.

Well done. 👍👍👍Thank you for sharing. Take care of yourselves, be safe, and healthy 🇨🇦

[@petergatehouse5260]

Haha yes! In my experience the queen can quite often scamper off into some little nook, but taking the time to let the bees settle and observing quite often tells you where she most probably is!!

Wow! Ive never seen so many bees. Goodness, what a rescue. Great job by all - I was totally absorbed watching this removal. Impressive and it was amazing that the bees were as quiet as they were.

If for no other reason than the Good Lord is sick of hearing about me. I am His devoted servant. I Know you are too. Keep doing what you are doing. God bless you and Mona. I hope your marriage is happy and blessed. I was so blessed to marry my soulmate. We were young but we knew we had to be together. Now we can help our grandkids. That's a great feeling. We had a member of our nuclear family leave us. She just stopped coming over and bringing the kids. We got used to it but the middle granddaughter was friendly and loving when she gave birth to our first great grandchild. What a blessing she is. Pray for my great granddaughter though; Her mom , my middle granddaughter left her with her dad and just flew the coop. She is in Florida with a bunch of millennials. I don't understand how anyone can give birth and not love the result. I could never do that. But I pray for my daughter in absentia everyday. I pray that you and Charlie never fall off a ladder or something. You guys are not spring roosters anymore. Ha ha. God bless you.

Have to say that's a good size hive! I got one this week that was about 11lb of bees. Needless to say I will split them a little to make them more manageable as I had enough comb to stack 4 deeps.The voyagers for the hive we're a five frame nuc strong on their own.

Gratz on the queen. I was wondering if you could find her in all that mess not to mention that amount of bees. Thats impressive

[@628DirtRooster]

Another south Louisiana monster hive! When is the building scheduled for demolition?

[@JeffHorchoff]

The building is slated for demolition by termites within 2 years...unless more bees move in and keep the structure upright with propolis. God's peace brother. Mr. Ed

[@NATURALBEEKEEPERSCOLLECTIVE]

Look at the size of that Colony and no silly bee keepers treating them with mite killer lol Take note guys! look how much honey there is and how healthy they look and that is living with termites aswell Jeff I have to say that beats my biggest one this year so far. Just touching on what you was saying about your concern about robber bees. Yes its a huge problem. But you can keep a smoker going and if you start seeing bees hovering with their legs down just get one of your buddies to puff some smoke, all around the area. I also do that in our yard when doing inspections. It really does work wonders.

[@JeffHorchoff]

Thanks for the tip and for watching, it is greatly appreciated. Until the next one, God's peace brother. Mr. Ed

[@michellek479]

Thank you Jesus indeed. He loves His creation. Thanks brother.

[@JeffHorchoff]

You are very welcome, it's a joy to share our experiences.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 13 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 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 Michelle. Mr. Ed

Another big one!!

[@8acreshomesteadwithpugs66]

Oh wow. What an awesome hive . Isn’t it amazing how bees work. Nothing like saving bees. I’m getting my 8 acres started on veggies and flowers before I get bees. Plan to get them in the next year or two. Just waiting to see how the rest of Australia goes with them. Sadly they’re destroying hives at the moment and while I’m not in the zone of them happening it’s getting closer and closer. 😢

[@JeffHorchoff]

Australian beekeepers are going through some rough times at the moment, but I'm sure things will improve and level out. I'm excited for you as I always say, the world needs as many beekeepers as it can get. Thanks for watching. God's peace. Mr. Ed

[@whymeflorida2243]

I have been binge watching your channel. Your enthusiasm for bee keeping is wonderful. Have you tied the knot whither Mona ?

[@JeffHorchoff]

Yes, we were married on the 13th of September. Thank you so much for spending so much of your time watching my bee wrangling adventures, it is greatly appreciated. God's peace. Mr. Ed

[@OccasusRaven]

Poor Charlie 😅 cant have yet his nap

[@JeffHorchoff]

He missed his nap that day, but he had a few days off to catch up on them...and lunch as well. Thanks for watching. God's peace. Mr. Ed

[@kennith.]

Nice job finding the queen. With that amount of bees, the layens?

[@JeffHorchoff]

That is exactly where they went. God's peace brother. Mr. Ed

[@kennith.]

@@JeffHorchoff Looking forward to that update video.

[@mrsspeech]

If you vacuum robber bees with the other bees what will the native bees do to the robber bees?

[@JeffHorchoff]

If to many robber bees are vacuumed, they will fight with the hive bees in the bee vac which is why I have to stop vacuuming once to many robber bees show up. 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.

[@cherylcarnes4207]

Thank you Jesus!!! WOW is all I have to say.

[@dennisbarney869]

Another great vid thanks. How many brood boxes did you put them in, Them queens know how to hide BUT not from you, great find. Do you think she fell off the comb that dropped to the ground.

[@JeffHorchoff]

She was for sure on the comb that hit the ground. Fortunately, she was not crushed and we were able to grab her. Since I put the bees in my Layens hive, there was lots of room for the brood and the bees. Thanks for watching. God's peace Dennis. Mr. Ed

[@dennisbarney869]

@@JeffHorchoff Thanks for the reply, one more question, someone told me they do not put the honey from the cutout in with the brood from the same cutout have you heard of this.

[@JeffHorchoff]

@@dennisbarney869 I put honey from the cut out in frames all the time. I just make sure very little of it is on brood comb. God's peace Dennis. Mr. Ed

[@funderbrainwill3004]

Hey Mr. Ed I realized this time looks like u had to many persons involved in this removal. Hence the reason for that mess in the initial stage of the removal. However u still pull it out which is good.

[@JeffHorchoff]

A win is a win no matter how ugly it looked like getting it done! Thanks for watching. God's peace. Mr. Ed

[@tinksmith4964]

I prefer the term "burglar bees" 😂

[@JeffHorchoff]

A more appropriate name...especially when they are wearing their masks and holding a pistol.
