What a super removal this one was, I hope you enjoy watching as much as we did making the video. Thanks for watching. God's peace to all.
Mr. Ed

[@marybarratt2649]

This is the first time I’ve seen an external hive. Very emotional viewing today. The bees created a 😅work of art. You are so fortunate doing the job you love and so are we to be able to watch the process of re-homing. Little glimpses of heaven.

[@JeffHorchoff]

What a joy it was for us to do this removal. Thank you so much for taking the time to watch. God's peace Mary. Mr. Ed

[@Burntbranchcreekbees]

That was truly incredible! The one I cut out of the Chinaberry tree 2-3 years ago was 1/5 that size but your removal brought back the memories of that day in October. Vacuumed the majority of the bees from up in the lift, and then cut the branch off and removed the comb from it and framed them on the ground. Put my bee vac in the Layens just like you did. God Bless guys! Great video!

So happy to hear you enjoyed this one, I did too! Thanks for watching. God's peace Cindy. Mr. Ed

[@terrysaunders8948]

A monster for sure, and a real work of art! Thank you for your blessings and for watching Terry. God's peace brother. Mr. Ed

Happy belated Easter

[@JeffHorchoff]

Thank you Sherry, and a blessed and joyous Easter to you and yours as well! God's peace. Mr. Ed

[@josephrawls]

That was fun. They won't know how to act inside that hive.😆

[@JeffHorchoff]

I even installed indoor plumbing for the girls in the hive to let them start enjoying the good life at the abbey. God's peace brother. Mr. Ed

[@garyRt23Bees]

Super cool! Open hives like that have no chance of surviving here so I never see them!

[@JeffHorchoff]

They don't last long down here either, two or three years tops and they they are gone. This one was certainly a spectacular one for sure! 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 Gary. Mr. Ed

[@jimjordan5630]

Wow! That was a good one!!

[@kennith.]

wow that was a lot of comb. Glad the vac could fit in the hive. Another pls for the long format.

[@JeffHorchoff]

A massive hive with a ton of bees for sure, and it was really cool how perfect the vac fit into the Layen's hive. Sometimes the videos just have to be longer to get the entire story in.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.

[@CYLONTV]

Good explain

[@JeffHorchoff]

Thank you.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 14 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 over 600 bee wrangling/ bee rescue adventure videos and let me know what you think of them.

[@xshanghu]

Liked interesting content.

[@JeffHorchoff]

So happy to hear you enjoyed the video, thanks so much for taking the time to watch it. Until the next one, God's peace. Mr. Ed

[@janetrodriguez914]

I always love your videos. I love bees, they’re amazing workers and we need bees badly. Your videos are always informative and fun to watch. God bless you and Charlie.

[@gerardjohnson2106]

With that honey tasting so fine, you might ask the property owner if you could keep 8-10 hives there.🙂

[@JeffHorchoff]

My concern would be the cattle that graze in the field, they are not to concerned with boxes and may upset them. Also, the homeowner had concerns about the hive being in the field so I do's think he would be very open to having hives there. Still, the thought crossed my mind. Thanks for watching. God's peace Gerard. Mr. Ed

[@gerardjohnson2106]

@JeffHorchoff : Solar electric fence on 'T' posts solves the cattle problem. Oil field royalty (12%-15%) of the honey harvest for rights to service the yard might persuade the owner. Everybody knows a 12 pound gallon of honey is worth way more than a 7.2 pound gallon of crude oil and much more tasty. 😂

[@liquidrockaquatics3900]

I feel like you need one of those shirts that say STAFF on one side and BEE Bouncer on the other

[@JeffHorchoff]

I bet if I had a t shirt like that the bees would respect me a bit more. God's peace. Mr. Ed

[@steveparker8723]

I remember seeing an external hive in a maple tree when i was a kid. Only one ive ever seen.

[@JeffHorchoff]

They are not very common, but I run across 2 or 3 of them every year. In fact, we just did another removal yesterday and it was another open air colony. Video will be posted soon. 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.

[@evonnewhalen9794]

Good looking Layens hive

[@JeffHorchoff]

I can hardly wait to see how these bees do here. God's peace Evonne. Mr. Ed

[@kam70111]

Beautiful hive. Follow up, please.

[@JeffHorchoff]

I already have plans for doing a follow up on this hive right after the honey harvest. That way it will have given them plenty of time to build up again. Stay tuned.

[@michaelsanchez8457]

That seems like a pretty good queen.

[@JeffHorchoff]

I will agree 100% with you on that account, what an awesome colony! 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.

[@evonnewhalen9794]

Ok for the lack of experience and knowledge, Why do the bees sometimes build an open air hive like that? What keeps the birds from eating them or the weather from harming them? This is so fascinating

[@JeffHorchoff]

I have no answer for your question, it just happens. Though it may seem to be a rare occurrence, it is not all that to uncommon, and I have seen a dozen or more in the years I have been keeping bees.

[@trumediamix1]

"What keeps the birds from eating them?" Honeybees w/ "suicidal tendencies": _"MY ASS! THAT'S WHAT!"_ I got my wisecrack sense of humor from my Grandma Peg. ❤

[@saxophoneplay1]

@@trumediamix1I understand that nature intended them to live like that and not in boxes.

[@saxophoneplay1]

If we would have a bee hive like that in our forest, I would them let be bees. Actually I would be thrilled!

[@kh7794]

Lmao...the bull looking at your van like 'there's a little action there' hahaha. That would be just a fun day in the park for some of those bulls. Hilarious.

[@Kuderik]

Boys and their toys. We love it.

[@nicolerobb9568]

The one brood comb 27:45 looked like it had a smile

[@dorr221]

Great video. I liked seeing the top bar hive transfer. It was a huge colony. The bee vac looked at capacity. Wonder how many pounds of bees you got.

[@JeffHorchoff]

It was well over 5 pounds and yes, that was all the vac could hold safely.Thanks for watching. God's peace David. Mr. Ed
