A new record! 25 swarm cells in the same hive removal.

[@628DirtRooster]

Wow, I’ve never had them pile up on my vac like that. They were just fighting to get in there and go home with Mr. Ed.

[@taddrienstra7247]

Thats cause you always catch the queen....🤫🤯 I rarely do, happens to me all the time. Good tip on TEBV in your vids when you first made them. I love mine. Thanks 628DR!

[@jeffreynast4063]

Wow! That's a lot of swarm cells! Thank you Jeff and Charlie! Always pleased to watch your videos!

[@rontronnesjr]

Famous homeowner words, "They've only been here a week or two." lol LMAO a Dirt Rooster special - good thing you have tiny hands LMAO Love your videos! Nice camera work Charlie!

[@aldraway]

we missed you

[@carlland9024]

Nice!!! That warrants 25 Thank You Jesus’s. No queen cells yet here in my area due to lack of any drones. But, it’s getting closer to time. Thanks for another great video.

[@mkaysartfuljourney1239]

Been missing your bee shows. 💯✨🕊🙏🏻❤️

[@JeffHorchoff]

Lots of stuff going on, but eventually it will settle down. God's peace Mary Kay. Mr. Ed

[@carolewarner101]

Holy smokes! Now THAT was a surprise!

[@PaulGAckerman]

I'm at 9:17 and seeing those news on the vacuum made me think of two scenarios: the queen landed on the vac and the other bed are protecting /escorting her or they're swarming right now but the scout was lazy, landed on the vac and started nasonoving and that's why the bees are on the vac. But I've never been a beekeeper. I've just gone to Mr. Ed Unuversity on KZbin.

[@robertadriver6931]

That is one heck of a collection of swarm cells. Hope you are able to harvest just as many queens as you need.

[@bcjoey9944]

Your videos are always interesting. Have a nice weekend Jeff and GTC.

[@JJDigitalartStudio]

Those "swarm cells" are queen cells right? So every one of them is a potential queen to anchor a new hive. That is amazing. God bless you and Charlie. For heaven's sake, Jeff, give Charlie some food. He looks emaciated! Ha Ha :D

[@esparka]

Very enjoyable, every time. The sentiment is strong: “we’re going to keep on making new videos.”

[@maryjanebeatty6030]

Great job guys! We are gonna need an update on all these swarm cells ! Thanks for sharing and letting me tag along!

[@dcsblessedbees]

Ya those bees been there a while, God Bless ya thank you for sharing. Ty Blessed Days...

25 princesses and no queen! Plenty of princes, though. Looks good. Thank you for uploading, Jeff. God bless and see you soon.

Thanks Jeff and Charlie

[@cheneysherry50]

Hey thanks so much for the honey you didn't have to send 2. My hubby eat some today and he loves it I can't eat it Because I'm allergic to bees but he said it's great so you have t shirts with your logo on it? God bless you are so loved.

[@JeffHorchoff]

Happy to do it for someone who has been so faithful for so long. I have no desire to do any merchandising, it would be no fun for me. Thank you for your blessings. God's peace Sherry. Mr. Ed

The Rooster would have his brotherdo this one. Mr Wd can and will succed in capturing this bunch of great bees. Good video my friend God bless you and all of the bees and your helpers

[@nfinitymarine4466]

I was excited about 29 in 4 hives this week. That's crazy.

[@robinmartin4464]

Do each of those swarm cells count as a swarm in your competition with The Dirt Rooster?

[@lagrangebees]

That is a beautiful feral colony, LOTS of brood :)

[@GHumpty1965]

That Charlie, always getting you into trouble with those easy jobs.

[@marybarratt2649]

Another absorbing video. Loved it and it was so interesting again. Thank you both.

[@Burntbranchcreekbees]

Wish I had a couple of those peanuts to requeen a queenless colony of mine. From the looks of it, she would have good genetics as far as laying.

[@Wosiewose]

Yes, that sure looks like a line worth propagating!

[@MinnesotaBeekeeper]

So darn tight, Winnie the Pooh was overheard saying, "Mr Ed and Charlie? Praise the Lord, I'm out of here!"

[@3thedward]

What a difficult work , I think you sweat a lot this day. Did you build a new bee colony out of it ? Greetings from Germany Ed

[@JeffHorchoff]

The bees were removed and relocated to one of our bee yards.Thanks for watching, and I hope you will check out more of my over 450 bee wrangling/ bee rescue adventure videos and let me know what you think of them. By the way, I post a new video almost every Friday morning, and I look forward to hearing from you again soon. God's peace. Mr. Ed

[@itsnobodyg]

Got to bee harder to find queen If they were getting ready to swarm Mr ed and charlie you sure get into a mess lol that's crazy how they work bees are hard workers America can learn from bees 🐝 God bless Mr ed and of course charlie

[@markpashia7067]

Americans were always the hard workers until the jobs went overseas. Who is motivated to work hard at slave wages and no benefits these days??? I do not blame the young people one bit when labor is worth less than passive investors!!! And execs getting one thousand times average wage as a reward to screw over workers??? Those folks will work as hard as anyone ever did when they get a fair share of the pie. Until then they will copy the lazy wealthy and invest in the screwed up stock markets in hopes of getting a fair share for themselves. The tax policies of the sixties WERE AN INCENTIVE to work and invest rationally, but since Reagan Revolution and Clinton's Third Way they have no reason to do labor. WAKE UP AMERICA. Look at Mr. Ed and Charley working hard and all the young people who are following them. Young people are going self employed to get a bigger share of the pie and I for one am proud of them. Maybe someday this country will wake up and reinstate a fair system that REWARDS LABOR instead of investors.

[@alanwatts9232]

@@markpashia7067 Well put, it's the same in Aus.

[@dennislintz1]

Mr. Ed, What do you do with the bee's that get hit with the Honey Bandit? Do you vacuum them too or leave them?

[@ksol77]

This colony will have PLENTY OF MOTHERS, to keep them company. :)

[@taddrienstra7247]

Thats called a Split-O-Matic hive.

[@Gawonii1Austencao]

[@kellyrick4365]

Dang, that is a lot of brood :)

[@Mindy56743]

I wish you would show putting them into a hive and getting them set up.

[@JeffHorchoff]

I have done that on several older videos, but I will show it again very soon, stay tuned. Thanks for watching. God's peace Mindy. Mr. Ed

[@Hans_Niemand]

Just wondering, do you ever get so overloaded with bees in your bee vac that you have to make multiple trips back to the Abbey? Or to your nearest bee-yard?

[@JeffHorchoff]

It has only happened once in all the years I have been doing this. Thanks for watching. God's peace Hans. Mr. Ed

[@simplegreen6596]

Hey Jeff QQ. What is an acceptable loss for field bees not making it back to where the swarm has setup shop. If i remove a swarm trap from a location to my home yard during the afternoon when field bees are out, is that cool? I assume just feed the new colony at the new location until the queen can lay more field bees?

[@boomdagreatred4070]

I'd like to see how you transfer the bees to your new hive when you bring them back to the abbey. most i seen is removal but no settlements

[@KajunHomestead]

Awesome job

[@donbearden1953]

Mr Ed, you know that you’re not supposed to work Charlie over 2 hrs!

[@rodericklong3255]

Yes its not quite the same with out him, but these two are always good for a laugh.... Great video :-)

[@viscache1]

That is remarkable! At least the comb was really fresh and beautiful and good to reestablish two or more hives to add to your bee yards! I can only dream of finding swarms like that around where I live. When I advertise people call and tell me they have honey bees in their wall and I get there and they have a huge wasp nest (very common here). What is hard to smile and keep going about these is that the people KNOW when they call what they have. They have been stung most often and have identified the paper nest but call me because they don’t want to pay the $1800 for a wasp remediation. I helped a few older folks but it’s too dangerous for me with my sting allergy and the very aggressive type of wasp that we have here but normally I inform them of what they knew already, a few admit their deception, and I recommend a good service. Out on our farm we have dozens of wasp nests and it’s a real problem here.

[@zippymcfearson2776]

How many hives can you make from that ?

[@asalarichilik_uz]

I subscribed to your channel and watch your videos. If this idea is wrong, I apologize because I use a Google translator and I’m not sure how reliable it is in English. Take care not to be upset

[@wildbld]

All OK👌

[@doctortcbkk2027]

Could they have already swarmed? If queenless behavior is showing? Could you start 25 nucs with those cells?

[@jerryholman9613]

Mr. Ed I have enjoyed your videos for a long time. I am in my ninth year of beekeeping and have learned a lot from you. Do you make your bottom board with the entrance cut in the front board of your bottom board? How long of entrance do you make? I don’t see you use entrance reducers. Maybe we need the m more in the north.

[@JeffHorchoff]

My entrances are cut into the bottom board itself, and I use several different configurations. However, my favorite is two entrances, one on each side of the front, that measure 3/4 inch long and 3/8 inch high. I prefer very small entrances as that is what I have noticed in the removals I do, they all have small entrances. Thanks for watching. God's peace Jery. Mr. Ed

[@Peeem]

Woah! That’s insane!

[@WalkerBeeRanch]

Looks like yall had fun, god bless

[@JoSeeFuss]

How many queens did you keep? Mini splits/Nucs/replacement queens???? Nice cash can be made from those

[@JeffHorchoff]

All the cells were used to make splits. A really great haul. God's peace. Mr. Ed

Haha, that was going to be my question, too! ;) 🐝

does that mess the queens up because they are upside down?

[@francinekeane9900]

Jeff thanks for all your great videos love watching you and Charlie never gets old especially when you thank Jesus for helping you catch the queen. Could you tell me how you get the first few pieces of comb out when its such a tight spot where you can't get a knife in. Have learnt a lot from you , thanks. My daughter and I love to rescue bees had a few disasters with SHB because we did put some of their honey in the frames but after watching you will only put brood in from now on. Oh do you clean all the wax off after your done so as not to attract other bees to go in that space, how pedantic do you have to be? It's coming into winter here in Australia so have time for prep. Thanks again for your videos, God Bless Francine

[@Thea_MojaveOutliersWhipmakers]

Mr. Ed, at some point can you tell us the story of the one time when you had so many bees in the bee vac that you had to off-load it before you could keep going? I mean, just tell the story on a video as kind of an aside or something. I saw that down in the comments, and I was hoping for more details... Cheers! 🐝
