Charlie was once again fishing, and I can't fault him for not being with me as the trout are really running great right now, while I was on this adventure and and thus, I was the only one there to shoot the video and do the removal. Don't worry, he will be back next week. Thanks for watching. God's peace to all.

[@talleysuehohlfeld3959]

I’m always amazed at the size of the hives in such a short time. I’ve finally truly understood the phrase “busy as a bee.”

[@JeffHorchoff]

When bees are given the opportunity to expand, along with a good nectar flow and genetics, a hive can grow extremely fast. Thanks for watching. God's peace Talley. Mr. Ed

That comb is beautiful with the sun shining through with great colors! Glad you were able to frame up some of the comb and found the queen, Thank You Jesus!!! God Bless!!!

[@brockshields9336]

Mr. Ed ! You done well flying solo. Loved your camera action of pausing the shot to show that beautiful white comb being illuminated by the sun. Excellent work. I don't think GTC coulda done better. Still missed him though. And Wreckin Ralph..... don't see him as often anymore, it seems. The three of you are such a great team.

[@JeffHorchoff]

Charlie and I have been together for so many years it's hard to imagine a time when he was not with me shooting video until I have to do one solo. The guy is great and I'm blessed to have him for a friend...and that goes for Ralph as well. Thanks for watching. God's peace brother. Mr. Ed

[@kevchard5214]

I had to chuckle when you said older homes built in the 60s and 70s. Since that is within my life time and growing up south of there near Oak Alley and other plantations I always think of old as before the civil war. My family had a new summer house (according to my late great grandmother) somewhere in Abita Springs that was built about 10 years after the civil war. LOL

[@JeffHorchoff]

I have to laugh at that myself, but then again I was born in '56. Now THAT is really old. By the way, I live in Abita. Thanks for watching. God's peace brother. Mr. Ed

Beautiful hive, not too aggressive. Nice brood pattern. Did I see some drone cells toward the beginning? Glad you found the queen when you were getting the bees from the vac. The sun on the comb made for some perfect cinematography. (Not that we don't appreciate Charlie when he films).

[@AndrewAHayes]

I love to see that new comb built by a swarm, my swarm box caught a swarm this year and I ddnt realise for a at least a couple of weeks, I saw them bearding one day, they had brood in the 3 frames I had in there and had started building new comb in the box space.

[@JeffHorchoff]

A swarm builds comb so quickly, and if you don't know you have caught one in your trap for a couple of weeks, like I do regularly, you can have a real mess on your hands. Thanks for watching. God's peace Andrew. Mr. Ed

Another goodie.

Seriously, that's a lot to manage. I know it's more fun with your good buddies, but I imagine it's also a peaceful meditative process when it's just you and the bees too. Good one!

[@paulbombardier8722]

I’m fascinated by the geometry of the comb. They always seem to have some kind of curve to them…very non-Euclidean geometry. I would imagine that they know what’s best for air circulation.

[@JeffHorchoff]

It has always amazed me how the bees construct the comb, but it is built to channel air to maximize it's movement through the hive.

SWEET. Yes, you got some good genetics right there. Beautiful comb, nice pattern. Your compares missed a special one that day but your solo adventure was admirable. Thanks for sharing. 👍👍👏👏🇺🇲

[@rachelstone4967]

Alls good that ends well - always nice to find the queen & I wish I was as experienced as you at finding her! Considering you weren't sure if she had gone up behind the brickwork do you ever spray some pesticide or soapy water up there just in case you've left enough behind with a queen to start again? I've had 2 attempts at removing a swarm generator in some old tyres buried under a water tank & although I didn't find the queen I had removed all the comb & didn't think I'd left enough bees behind to support a revival + filled the cavity with old feed sacks & moth balls for the smell hoping to fill the dead space & so not leave it as attractive for another swarm to move in.... but they're still there so will probably have another go in spring.....

[@JeffHorchoff]

I possess no special skills when finding the queen, it's always a grace when I find them. Hence, the "Thank you Jesus!" The only thing I spray is the Honey Bandit, and trust me, NOTHING stays where it was sprayed unless there is a space further back the bees can run to which is what probably what happened with your swarm. Thanks for watching. God's peace Rachel. Mr. Ed

[@Jeff_and_Jenny_M]

Jeff, I love your relaxed nature and soundtracks on these removals. I'm sure it's not always laid back, but I get so much pleasure from watching those bees headed to a new home and your respect and reverence for God's creatures, great (and in this case...) and small.

In future, why not put the chest on another ladder next to you so you don't have to climb up and down so much?

[@apveening]

I concur, I can see three advantages to doing something like that (not necessarily a ladder, some other high stand will also do): 1) It is less time consuming 2) There is less wear and tear on your knees 3) It will be easier for the bees to find and settle on the brood, saving you some vacuuming and making sure there are enough bees on the brood

[@JeffHorchoff]

In theory that sounds like a good idea, but in practice it is not. Anytime I work off a ladder it is a dangerous situation. Going up and down a ladder is a lot safer than trying to reach over one ladder to place comb into a chest that is perched on top of another ladder.

Hi Mr. Ed, thanks for the video. Which thermal camera are you using? How long have you had it and how do you like it? When using the cooler to transport brood comb, are you using any type of pizza box support or anything to prevent pancaking?

The thermal camera I now use is from Vevor, and you can get it for about $280.00 by using the code VEVORSALE5 and for signing up with Vevor. The camera works great and I have been using it for about 6 months now. It may be something worthwhile looking into. The video link below is a video I made showing it off.

12:17....hive beatle

[@JeffHorchoff]

There is ALWAYS hive beetles in a bee hive down here, and I can't stand them. 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 Aaron. Mr. Ed

At 913 minutes, at the 12 o’clock on the screen there is a bee chasing something? It is on the white board. Mite?

[@JeffHorchoff]

It was chasing a hive beetle. That is one of the jobs of a nurse bee, keeping the beetles in check.

[@brettellis1837]

Nice man brilliant.😂 love it.

[@debraeaves]

does the rubber bands break after time.

[@JeffHorchoff]

Sometimes they do, but more often the bees will cut them and drag them out of the hive. Lately, I have been gong back into the hive a week later and undoing them myself, and that seems to work very well.

Just curious have you made a video on bee suit recommendations?

[@JeffHorchoff]

I have not, however if you have seen many of my videos I am wearing only 1 jacket, and it comes from Guardian Bee Apparel. That is the one I always recommend.
