Crushing and straining honey from the Cinco de Mayo removal....and lots more as well.

www.studiobeeproductions.com
With so many new folks subbing to my channel, I wanted to do a comprehensive video showing the entire aspect of a bee rescue, from the removal of the bees to the reuniting of the bees with their queen, as well as what I do with any extra honey. One thing that is not very noticeable in the video is the time it takes to accomplish this job. My day began at 8:00 am when I left the abbey and went till 4:30 that afternoon when I parked the monk mobile for the night. Then you can add another 2 hours of time the following days on the release of the bees and the queen, and the clean up of the honey and wax. Followed by about 3 more hours of rendering the wax. All in all, and investment of about 13 hours to do a removal and the subsequent jobs associated with it. Of course, once I get Wreck it Ralph and Good Time Charle back in the game, with their help, the amount of time it takes to do the job will be cut in half. I can hardly wait for this lock down to end. Thanks for taking the time to watch and leave your comments, and if you liked the video, would you hit the thumbs up for me. God's peace to all. Mr. Ed

Have you ever noticed I tend to get a bit excited when I see the queen. Thanks for your blessing and for watching. God's peace Dave. Mr. Ed

Boy the monks are going to love that honey. That's the same colander we were using to sift chicken litter over the worm beds isn't it?

[@JeffHorchoff]

By using that "special" colander, it gives the honey a very distinctive flavor. Because monks are so poor, they will eat anything. God's peace brother. Mr. Ed

[@BrianTankersley]

@Jeff Horchoff, why do the monks never show up in your videos?

[@Bonklyboi]

@@BrianTankersley There's a monk in his video with the tower of bees wax and he had a big beard in the thumbnail from 5 months ago. This is Saint Joseph abbey in Louisiana. It belongs to the order of Saint Benedict. You can look up order of Saint Benedict monks to see what they look like... Cause that's literally what I did like 5 minutes ago. They're monks that wear black robes. Look like right out of the middle ages with their robes. Saint Joseph abbey is very beautiful, look at the pictures on google.

For me, every aspect of bee wrangling is enjoyable.....except picking and cleaning up. If you read the description of the video it details the amount of time on the removal.

[@bcjoey9944]

That was a long hive. As in watching I had a couple questions pop in my noggin. First, have you ever come across a hive that had 2 queens before the fight to the death and could you separate them to create 2 new hives? Second question, can queens sting? The finger catch made me wonder. Thanks for the entertainment Jeff.

[@labella9291]

Queens CAN sting Multiple times. And apparently their venom is different than worker venom, because people who no longer react to worker stings will react to queen stings.

[@JeffHorchoff]

I've never seen more than one queen in a hive other than during the swarm season. Never have I had 2 laying queens in the same hive though. A queen can sting, but because her stinger is curved, it can't sting us...I hope. Thanks for taking the time to watch and leave your comments. God's peace Joey. Mr. Ed

RE: the coffee percolator you use to strain the honey: My late Father-in-Law, during WW2, was stationed down in Louisiana. The army base hired the locals to run the kitchens, and the kitchen would start the day filling the coffee strainers with coffee and let the water boil (percolate) through it the entire day. At the end of the day, after boiling through the coffee for at least 18 hours, those Louisiana boys would take that boiled-down coffee, mix it half coffee-half cream-half sugar and then drink it. The guys on night guard duty LOVED it because it helped them keep going all night!

Jeff Horchoff Bees that would seriously be so cool for me! I know with the pandemic it’s a little tricky to meet new people. But I love traveling. Especially if it means I get to enjoy the culture of where I am. I’ve enjoyed my fair share of fancy dinners and beautiful hotels. But, if I’m honest, the world I love the most is usually spent with good people just living life. I feel like I can usually tell more about a person by the people that love them and the way they respond to that. I really admire the way you see and share the world with the people around you. I feel like I have the best friends because I keep people who know how to love people, instead of people who love the “things” people can get them. I catch things on your channel like wishing me God’s peace and “waiting for the family” to watch you dissemble a hive. When you add that to the way you care and honor the bees and their hard work. It just really says a lot of good things about what makes you...”you” before choice and circumstance come into play. Anyways, I’m a deep thinker. Lol If you ever want to see Alaska I’ll definitely feed your group and show you around 😊 And if it doesn’t upset the balance of your family friend group to throw someone new in for a day or two, I’d love to see your set up and meet the famous Mr. Ed 😁 Maybe this coming spring/next summer if ur up for it. I have a sister in Louisiana that I could steal a hug from. She and I were supposed to do a week in New Orleans before the COVID-19. Lol God bless and stay safe with all those fuzzy friends. ☺️ ~Sheeara, Alaska

Just wanted to say thanks. Watching your videos inspired me to try making swarm traps. After puting them up a month ago i got my first swarm yesterday! I'm really excited! Thanks again

[@JeffHorchoff]

Congratulations! That is just so cool, you watch some videos and then you catch some free bees. What a great country we live in! Keep me posted on your journey. Thanks for watching. God's peace Ben. Mr. Ed

[@janetdupree6353]

That was fun-watching the steps of gathering and processing.

[@JeffHorchoff]

I know the video was a long one, I think it is my longest ever, but because so many new folks are watching my channel, I wanted to give the full picture of what's involved when removing and relocating bees. So glad you enjoyed the video, it's great to hear you did. God's peace Janet. Mr. Ed

[@larrycollar1322]

Learn something new each time you show us a new video. Thank you! I wish I knew the honey would just drain out of crushed comb before I had invested in a small fruit press. That process works too but is really messy and much more labor intensive. Is there a reasonable limit to how high the crushed comb pile can be and still get most of the honey to drain out?

[@JeffHorchoff]

I have filled the colander to the top, and that's a BIG colander, and still have the comb dry by the next day. Of course, if I let it sit a bit longer I'd get more honey, but I don't mind sharing with my bees the spoils of war. Thanks for watching. God's peace Larry. Mr. Ed

[@larrycollar1322]

Jeff thanks for the reply and blessing. Stay safe.

[@pinaz993]

Is there any way we could get a time-lapse of the bees cleaning something? I'd especially like to see them take apart some old comb.

[@JeffHorchoff]

I really love the idea of doing a time lapse. Who knows, it may happen one day. Thanks for the suggestion and for watching. God's peace Patrick. Mr. Ed

[@robert12345678912312]

Wonderful program saving the bees, retrieving the honey. An interesting commentary, thank you Jeff.

[@JeffHorchoff]

Thank you very much for your kind words and support of my efforts. 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 9 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 Richard. Mr. Ed

Hello Jeff, thank you for taking through your preparations from cutout to new hive and then processing there honey into the bottle for the monks and nuns to enjoy , great vlog my friend I hope the queen and her sisters and brothers make a new strong colony for you at the abbey. God bless Jeff and stay safe.

I know it was a long video, but because there are lots of new folks to the channel, I wanted to get the whole job in one video. These bees are going to make another fine addition to the bees already here at the abbey.Thanks for your blessing and taking the time to watch. God's peace Peter. Mr. Ed

use a meat grinder to crush the comb. it turns it into an even mush that drains / strains nicely.

an occasional long video is great, as long as it is well edited. I watched one last night where the first six minutes were of the guy trying to find a microphone. Great video, very informative.

[@JeffHorchoff]

This was the longest video I have ever made, but because there are so many new subscribers and viewers to my channel, I wanted to give a comprehensive showing of the different aspects of doing a hive removal and reestablishing it. I'm glad to hear it was not to boring. Thanks for watching. God's peace Eric. Mr. Ed

Cool video Jeff. I really enjoy watch your videos as well as Randy's and JP's. Also just recently started watching Yappy's videos. I really hope to start my own couple hives here in Houston in the next couple years and I'm learning so much watching you guys. I'll be watching, keep making more, and God Bless. Aaron

[@h20s8804]

Just ran across your videos. Great stuff. I love your enthusiasm and sing-song voice. I've done many cutouts myself and I fail to see why many don't bother with the bee vac. It makes things so much easier. I do it the same as you, I sort out the comb into 5 gal buckets with lids-honey, honey and pollen, brood comb so I can deal with it later. The queen always seems to show up toward the very end of the job, on the last few combs in the wall.

[@JeffHorchoff]

Glad to hear you have discovered my channel and my bee wrangling adventures. I've probably done over 300 removals, and though there are similarities is them all, at the same time, each one has it's own challenges.

[@SandraNelson063]

Sulis Minerva, that was a LOT of old comb! How long has there been a colony there? A long time, and there will more that likely be another colony moving in soon! Thank you for doing your part to preserve the species. Watch out for those dreadful Asian monster hornets, they are a true menace. Although their nemesis appears to be preying mantises.

[@JeffHorchoff]

It was a lot of comb, and I already have it rendered down, got about 5 pounds of nice wax from it. My guess the comb was at least 3 years old at the top and brand new at the bottom. I have my eyes out for the Asian hornets, but I hope I never see one. I already saw a video on the mantis eating one. Thanks for watching. God's peace Sandra. Mr. Ed
