Catching a swarm of bees the easy way.

www.studiobeeproductions.com
YES!!! Swarms season is here, and I'm ready for some action. In fact, I'm so ready for action that I will even travel a long distance just on the chance they will still be there when I show up. Fortunately, on this removal they did stick around....for 3 days. Granted, that is a long time for a swarm of bees to stay on a spot, but I guess they really wanted to become Abbee Honey bees.
The removal itself took less than 5 minutes, but setting up and tearing down my bee vac took almost 15 minutes, and the drive to New Orleans and back took over 2 hours. So, was 2 hours and 20 minutes of work worth getting some free bees? For me, most assuredly. Plus, I was able to meet another person who truly cares about bees and their welfare. All in all, a great day, and now these bees happily call the abbey home.

[@WoWSmirv]

I love seeing a home owner who cares about the bees even though they are unwanted in or around their homes. Bees are one of my favorite bugs. I love them and it is nice to see other people that care enough to get ahold of someone who will take them and care for them.

[@JeffHorchoff]

Kim get a big thumbs up for reaching out to me to rescue these bees, she really does care for them. Thanks for watching. God's peace. Mr. Ed

[@birdnest5814]

Nice that the lady recorded some of the removal to show her kids, they need to learn about honeybees and how important they are, to our ecology. Thanks for sharing this with us, Mr Ed.💕😊👍

[@JeffHorchoff]

The homeowner has a sincere desire for the protection of bees and she is passing that concern on to her children.....good for her and the bees. Thanks for watching. God's peace. Mr. Ed

[@carolewarner101]

I noticed today I'm missing the way your Mom used to say, "let's wrangle!" When you said it in this video, I heard the echo of her in your voice and saw her smile in yours. There's a lot of her in you. A lot. WOW was a real treasure. I hope you and your family are doing ok. May God's peace in your hearts.

[@JeffHorchoff]

Thank you so much for thinking about and mentioning WOW, I really appreciate when others speak lovingly about her. As you can imagine, we all miss her tremendously, but are greatly comforted knowing she is where she really wanted to be. I'll always hear her voice in the back of my head saying, " now let's wrestle!' God's peace Carole. Mr. Ed

[@carolewarner101]

@@JeffHorchoff LOL I know, my gosh she was such a character! When we lost Dad we knew he was out of his suffering and in a better place...and that made us happy for him. But man the heartache. I miss him so much, I can't believe he's been gone for 8 years now. It's hard not being able to talk to him, but like you I have the best memories. Anyway, I really enjoyed her and appreciated learning so much more about her in your memorial video. What a great lady.

[@donaldatkinson7937]

You made me decide to start trapping Last year, you answered my question about wax moths infesting my frames in my trap hives, too early in the year you said, well I got two last year, and got two in one day, yesterday and today they was another swarm in a tree wanting to get in a trap hive but they were a day late, tried to get another box ready but they left. All this within 200 yards of my cabin . Got two more boxes set up couple miles down the road. I'm kicking their buts ,rounding them up like a cattle drive. I feel blessed and kinda special lol. Thanks.

Always love hearing about successful trapping, keep up your efforts. God's peace Donald. Mr. Ed

I like how the home owners said come save the bees not come and save us from the bees . I hope that the home owner applied some calming and a fresh layer of pain in that area as it looked like there was some rot going to happen soon close to the deck of the porch. Thank you for relocating these bee’s . God Bless you as well Mr Ed .

Kimberly has a great respect for bees and teaches that to her children as well. I'm sure I'll bee back next year to remove a swarm from their house, there are lots of bees around her. Thank you for your blessings and for watching. Until the next one, God's peace Charlene. Mr. Ed

You just got to love the bee vac, it makes wrangling soooo easy. These girls already hung out the "home sweet home" sign. God's peace brother. Mr. Ed

[@Knightyme]

To the home owner, since this is an annual thing, perhaps get a hive ~2 weeks before you expect a swarm to come by, set it up next to that column, entrance facing out and have them move right into a hive. Then call Jeff to simply come pick them up, maybe even do a hive swap, an empty hive for a populated hive. Rinse repeat as needed. You could even leave the hive there, the bees probably wont bother you if you are not bothering them, but get professional advice if you did do that.

[@JeffHorchoff]

We may be doing just that, I have another person a mile away that I do the exact thing for. Thanks for watching. God's peace. Mr. Ed

All is well in Louisiana, and I hope all is well in Ireland. The bees were attracted to the smell of previous bees at that location from last year.

Yeah thank you Jesus. See ya soon Jeff. Thank you.

Another blessing from the Lord, thank you Jesus! God's peace Cheryl. Mr. Ed

Those bees were freezing their Nasonov glands off, they were parked.

[@JeffHorchoff]

Yet they still produced a bit of wax while shivering. Thanks for watching. God's peace. Mr. Ed

Hey Ed I got a question. I saw some of your hive trap videos and how you built the frames to support the deep boxes, but you never gave any information on what size the pieces were or lengths you cut them to. I'm trying to build about 8 of them to put on trees at some of my friends house's this spring. I would appreciate it if you could get back soon so I can finish them and get them put up before the main swarm season hits up here in North Texas. Thanks!

[@JeffHorchoff]

Hayden, as far as the build of a stand that supports the weight of a 10 frame hive body goes, I do not have any measurements to give you. I can however give you a link to the video showing how Ralph and I cut the pieces and put them together. Maybe this can give you some assistance in building yours. I wish you all the best on catching swarms this season. Let me know how you do. God's peace brother. Mr. Ed kzbin.info/www/bejne/gYalioZpn7yEh9E

@@JeffHorchoff Appreciate it Mr Ed! I actually watched that video and thats the video I'm trying to copy the build to make my bee traps. I think I can build it. I guess my down to the point question was whats the dimensions of one of those 10 frame bee boxes (I.E. width and length.) Cause I started out doing oddly enough 8 frame boxes instead of 5 or 10. I'm wanting to upgrade to the 10 frames with all my future projects. So if you by chance happen to know both the width and length of a 10 frame box then I should be able to make one to fit exactly their dimensions, because I'm a wood crafter also so I'm pretty handy with a tape measure 😂. Your channel was the first one I found that got me into bee keeping to help out my father with his all organic/no chem plant base/grass-fed ranch. I'm planning to hopefully come check out your abbey sometime if that's ok. Your passion to keep your whole operation organic and showing it could benefit everything was what got me going into it. Its great to have guys like you around.

[@frankobrien4457]

I was wondering Mr Ed if there is a difference in honey production with the lighter bees versus the darker bees.

[@JeffHorchoff]

I really never paid attention to that detail. As long as the bees are making me honey, I really don't care what the bees look like. Thanks for watching. God's peace. Mr. Ed

[@alanstanley9465]

What happens to the bees you don't get? do they just stay where the old hive was or join new hive or die , just wondering as you can't get them all, great vid by the way.

[@JeffHorchoff]

Most of the time it is impossible to get every bee when doing a removal. For the unfortunate ones that are left behind, some find their way to a different hive and some will not and perish. It is the dark side of doing a removal, and the way I look at it is that the vast majority lived while only a few did not. the important thing to me is the ones that perished will be replaced because the hive itself did not die. However, on this removal, every bee was taken. Thanks for watching. God's peace Alan. Mr. Ed

[@thehappinessfactory]

QUESTION: what kind of agreement do you make with property owners about removals? As far as property responsibilities? Cut outs and liability?

[@JeffHorchoff]

I explain that I am not responsible for any damage the bees do or me to remove them, that's on the homeowner. So far, there has never been an issue with that. However, I do carry a 1 million dollar liability policy. Thanks for watching. God's peace. Mr. Ed

"it's not a really huge swamp..." anything more than 10 bees is a huge swamp lol

Yay - vacs!

[@JeffHorchoff]

They are great for swarm removals as well. God's peace Daniel. Mr. Ed

[@stufarnham]

Hi, Jeff, What drove your decision to set the bee vac up the way you did for this capture? Thanks, Stu PS Good on you for the haircut, you were starting to look like JP!

[@JeffHorchoff]

I was just thinking about the ease it would be for both me and the bees. Get ready to see this on a regular basis when it comes to vacuuming swarms. The hair cut and beard trim feel great! God's peace Stu. Mr. Ed

Idt is too bad that all of your jobs are not that easy God bless you and all of dthe bees, I am going to the lake Ice fishing for a few days
