The optimal word for this hive removal, brutal. What started out as a simple hive removal from a wall, turned into the most difficult removal I've done this year. Also, with the amount of bees we vacuumed, and the trouble I had with the queens, that's correct, queens, as in plural one this one, will require at least multiple videos, and I hope you will check those out in the up coming weeks. But for now, sit back and enjoy the outcome of this removal. Thanks for watching. God's peace to all. Mr. Ed

[@tonyandric4380]

That was a brutal removal! I need to save this video to show people who want 'free' removals.

[@brucekaminskimd3417]

Aman to that!!!

[@rustyshackleford6693]

It’s free because you keep the bees and sell the honey people can go in and kill all of the bees for about $10

[@tonyandric4380]

@@rustyshackleford6693 Not really. In Texas it is illegal to sell honey from removals. And if I want more bees, I can split one of my 150 hives in about 5 minutes vs this example of an 8 hour removal.

[@JeffHorchoff]

Rusty, anyone who removes bee as a profession does not need more bees or honey, they already have to much of both. Also, by law, honey that is removed from a cut out is illegal to sell as the source of the honey is not known or the fact that the honey may be contaminated with chemicals by someone who tried to kill them . You are correct, "people can go in and kill all of the bees for about $10," but for so many other people who care about the bees and the benefits they provide for humans, realize that bee wranglers provide a service, and just like doctors and lawyers, for the services rendered, a fee is justifiable and they will happily pay for that service. God's peace brother. Mr. Ed

[@LizzyDizzyYo]

​@@JeffHorchoffexcuse me if I'm ignorant, but what are you doing with all of those honey then? You surely have dozens of swarm at this point which are actively producing honey. Do you dispose them? Are you even allowed to give them away for free?

[@cherylhuot4436]

Oh my! Temps in the triple digits, bee suit, cramped, over head work space, and massive size!!!! What else could you add to make the job more difficult!?!?! Well done guys. Thanks for saving such a valuable resource and keeping the bees and humans safe.

[@JeffHorchoff]

Just another day in the life of a couple of bee wranglers....but it was a tough 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.

[@thechariotcard]

There are a few occasions when these kinds of videos are so impressive, but this is one of them! You could have walked out on this 500 times. You could have taken off into the air conditioning and left some of those bees to die. You could have not done a thorough job and just throwing away the parts that were tough. But you did not! You protected the bees you protected the property you protected each other and having watched your video I wanted to thank you. I want you to know that your diligence in your care with gods little creatures was noticed by at least one person. Thank you.

Delayed gratification is the only decent way to live. Do the hard part first! Great removal and a lesson in commitment to the lives of bees. Where would we be without the dedicated support of others like good-time Charlie? We are blessed by the company we keep.

Charlie is right beside me the entire time, what a great friend and co worker he is. Thanks for watching. God's peace William. Mr. Ed

[@leoncarpenter958]

Jeff if you're going plug in the vac while you work you need to get a short extension that you tie off to the handle.... The plug on that vac is soldered onto a circuit board. That's all that holds it. If you trip on the card it'll pull the plug off the circuit board.... Ask how I know. With an extension it can be a remote disconnect

I healed in 6 weeks enough to come home. The prayers did that. God gives us the strength we need to get by. You and Charlie looked close to heat stroke. I prayed you both were alright after this horrendous bee removal. Take care and know that I am praying for you and Mona to be joyful together and know peace. Become an old married couple. Like us.

[@Phil_86]

Yes, that has to be the one of the top longest hive removal I've seen you both do!! All those bee's in a tight space and you were still able to find the queen. You both looked like wiped puppies at the end for good reason being out in 100 degree, high humidity for 8 hours. Hope you both recovered well and all the bee's made it back to the Abby safely. God Bless you both!!

Hey Jeff, let's see you frame it up. I love that.

A monster removal for sure and in some really harsh conditions, but both the bees and the wranglers survived the ordeal.

Holy smokes!!! You two are unstoppable! Once you knock the numbers down, it would've been nice to have a third person holding the vacuum to hand each piece out to so Mr. Ed could just go back to cutting out the next piece. Bet you could've cut the time it took by at least a third. But you managed it. Congratulations on completing that intense marathon boys.

I love to see you removing the bees. I so love honey as well. Unfortunately the honey in South Africa so expensive. Be blessed and please don’t stop making videos.

[@aylalilyinfinit98]

The honey in SA is so expensive because our bees are so aggressive! No way you go into a cutout or even a simple hive inspection without a double layer bee suit and extra clothing underneath, thick socks and leather boots on in the heat of summer! Not fun, but hey, we do it for the love of bees and honey.

I told Charlie to film that bit as a joke. I had just dropped a chunk of honey comb and it went down from my waste to my knee oozing honey the entire length. I had to use water to clean it up before the bees started attacking me to get to the honey, and it looked just like I wet myself.

No lunch. Unheard of. Nap sounds good though. 😂

[@JeffHorchoff]

Poor Charlie was totally abused that day, but at least I gave him off the entire next week. Thanks for watching. God's peace Michelle. Mr. Ed

[@christivbosch565]

WOW! I really felt that for you. How your neck, shoulders and arms must have been burning 😮 You guys are amazing God Bless 🙌

[@JeffHorchoff]

Thank you for your blessings and for watching. And yes, ALL of my body was sore after doing this removal....for the next 3 days. God's peace Christi Mr. Ed

[@yankeedoodle5691]

You need more assistants when doing a big job like this!

[@JeffHorchoff]

Isn't that the truth, unfortunately, there just are not many folks standing in line for the job. Thanks for watching. God's peace. Mr. Ed

[@darrellhamner4608]

Think I've seen all your videos and this was the most impressive I remember. Good job! How you can be so cheerful and upbeat after that nightmare is beyond me.

[@JeffHorchoff]

Trust me, I'll remember this one for as long as I live! The joy is from having completed the job and I was still standing.....amazing! Thank you so much for being such a long time subscriber and for taking the time to follow along with all my bee wrangling adventures. Until the next one, God's peace Darrell. Mr. Ed

Bravo 👏 Mr Edd

[@JeffHorchoff]

WOW! It's been a while since I've seen your name in the comments, great to have you back. And thanks so much for checking out the video, I hope you enjoyed it. Don't wait so long to leave your comment next time, God's peace Michel. Mr. Ed

[@phillipduncan2497]

No suit? I thought only the Dirt Rooster did that. This heat is awful. Stay safe.

[@JeffHorchoff]

Way to hot for a suit on this one, but it would have helped me not getting so many stings, more than 25 of them. Still, that's bee wrangling for you. You stay safe as well Phillip. God's peace brother. Mr. Ed

[@phillipduncan2497]

25 stings? Ouch. The weather here finally cooled off enough to get back in my hives. The heat index as up to 110F for several days. Stay safe down there. Looking forward to seeing you in Louisville. I am bringing my grandson along. I plan on turning my apiary over to him in the next few years. I am not a young man like you God Bless. @@JeffHorchoff

[@angelalott9370]

The thick cap honey looks so good

[@JeffHorchoff]

And it tasted wonderful. I got over 2 gallons of the sweet stuff from the bees. However, because they needed the honey to survive on, I'm feeding it back to them. Thanks for watching. God's peace Angela. Mr. Ed

[@jacidick4655]

Absolutely love your videos. I had no knowledge or interest in bees until your videos but now love boring all my friends with bee facts. Can we see more of Good Time Charlie doing some of the work 😂

[@JeffHorchoff]

Very delighted to hear you enjoy watching our bee wrangling adventures, it is a joy for us to share them, and I appreciate you taking the time to watch. I am sure you do not bore your friends with bee facts, I rather think you are stimulating their minds and expanding their horizons. Keep up the efforts! I am going to tell Charlie to video more of himself as he is shooting all the video, after all, that's his main job. Again, 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 Jaci. Mr. Ed

[@ScarletFoundryTarot]

OMG...THAT LOOKS SSOO HARD IN THE HEAT! EPIC!

[@JeffHorchoff]

It would have been a difficult removal if the weather was cool, but the heat certainly made it more miserable than it should have been.

[@ednasmith4412]

I was wondering how all those bees would fit glad you had an extra vaccume.

[@JeffHorchoff]

With temperature's so high, to many bees in one bee vac would over heat and die. Having 2 vacs, and keeping the bees in a cool place after being vacuumed is the solution to keeping bees alive...especially on long jobs like this one was. 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 Edna. Mr. Ed

THANK YOU JESUS!!! Mr. Ed I didn’t take honey last week because I thought they rejected the new Queen. Well I was wrong! After a week of worry and praying I have brood and eggs!!! They should be strong for winter.

You needed Dirtrooster, Shawee and Yappy for this one!! I did one that took 11 hours a while back. I have a cutout this afternoon. Wish me luck. Thanks!!

[@apveening]

Be careful what you wish for, bad luck is also luck ;) Good luck to you.

[@rodneymiddleton9624]

@@apveening Thanks!

[@JeffHorchoff]

If those guys had been there the job would have taken twice as long because of all the cutting up we would be doing. Let me know how you did on your removal, I'm interested in hearing about it. God's peace Rodney. Mr. Ed

[@rodneymiddleton9624]

@@JeffHorchoff It wound up being a deadout so no work was necessary. Just told her to get everything sealed up. Thanks Jeff!

Looks like Charlie did the cut out instead of you😅😅😅😅❤

Well, he did work really hard on this one, but at least he got to take breaks in the AC and recover a bit. Thanks for watching. God's peace Russell. Mr. Ed

[@stevewelches1955]

Good thing that wasn't the dirt roosters removal. He would not have been able to get his hand up between there to get to the comb. Good job

[@birdnest5814]

Beautiful hive! That had to be tough working overhead for a long time. Blessings, my friends 🙏😊💕

[@fuzzynuggetsbees]

Aww you guys!! You certainly earned your rest after that one. And you were still smiling for the end of the video. That was really impressive work. I wonder how many boxes that colony will fill.

[@JeffHorchoff]

I had to use 2 supers to hold the bees. Stay tuned for next weeks post showing the surprises the bees had in store for me when I housed them. Thanks for watching. God's peace. Mr. Ed

[@wpankey57]

I’ll just piggyback on what others have said. That one was BRUTAL. I had to go out and water my vegetable and wildflower garden and went up in 🔥. The Real Feel temp was 113 (near Chicago) and I was only out in 3 hours!

[@retiremann1031]

Wow, not all removals are easy huh. That was more like surgery! Amazing. I’m in Covington and gladly would have given you a hand.

[@JeffHorchoff]

I'm always looking for some good help around the abbey and on cut out, and since you are in the neighborhood and retired, you fit the bill perfectly. Get in touch with me at [e-mail] and lets get some wrangling done together. Heck, how many folks get the chance to meet Wreck it Ralph and Good Time Charlie, you my friend are in a very small minority. God's peace brother. Mr. Ed

[@beesybee8921]

I pass people who want free removals as I value my skills and I should be paid for my work, this was a heck of a job for sure, I had to remove 105 degree on scaffolds 6 year old beehive from the roof, with 4 buckets full of honey combs similar tiredness like you Mr Ed

[@JeffHorchoff]

I agree 100%, the skill necessary to do this job are immense, and as it is a service we provide, it is only just that we be fairly compensated for our skill and knowledge. I felt your pain on that removal. Thanks for watching. God's peace brother. Mr. Ed

[@JeffHorchoff]

91.5 is way cooler than the 100 degree that Charlie and I had to work under for this removal. This was our hardest removal for the year. Hope your holiday was a good one. God's peace brother. Mr. Ed
