[@williamhesbach4072]

This looked like a beautiful natural colony surviving just fine on its own. I've removed many colonies in danger of extermination in structures where they interact with humans. In this case, I would like to know if leaving the colony alone would have been an option and maybe even better for the bees and the environment.

[@JeffHorchoff]

It is always the homeowners choice weather to remove a colony of bees from their property or leave them stay, and in this case, the owners had concerns for their cattle having the bees in the field and wanted the hive relocated. Also, in cases with open air colonies that are as large as this one was, they self destruct over time. Due to the weight of the comb and the exposer to the heat of summer, they break apart and wind up on the ground.

Very nice.

Nice technique bringing the small foundation as a pattern for you comb. Interesting choice of a Layans hive to place them in. God bless you too!

[@evonnewhalen9794]

That was so cool to see that colony of bees.

[@paulladuke2259]

Compared to the other beekeeper videos I've watched, I learn a lot more from you.

[@JeffHorchoff]

What a GREAT comment, thank you for that, and I'm hoping you will continue watching, learning, and hopefully be entertained as well. 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 Paul. Mr. Ed

[@reneebrown2968]

That queen is a laying beast. And they made plenty of queen cells to populate other hives too. I'm betting that layens hive is going to be busting wide open with bees very soon.

[@JeffHorchoff]

That is my hope as well...we shall see. God's peace Renee. Mr. Ed

[@danplatt861]

Happy Easter Jeff and Charlie! I am amazed that this exposed hive can withstand the elements throughout the year. What an amazing colony. 🙏

[@JeffHorchoff]

Thank you, and Happy Easter to you and yours as well Dan. It is very common to have these hives last a year or two, but once they get to large, they self destruct from the outdoor conditions and weight. God's peace brother. Mr. Ed

[@wpankey57]

That was amazing! Beautiful comb and tons of bees. Really impressive. P.S. I’m with Charlie. I don’t do heights.

[@kellyrick4365]

Do an update on this hive in a few weeks please... AWESOME :)

[@JeffHorchoff]

I'm going to do one for sure, but I'm planning after the honey flow in June. That way, the bees will give a show of just how well they adjusted after being relocated.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 Kelly. Mr. Ed

[@roberthilliard9162]

Good morning to you and Charlie from Texas and Brushpopper bee wrangling .

[@JeffHorchoff]

Good morning to you as well Robert! What a magnificent hive for sure, and don't worry, there will be a follow up video in a few months on these girls. God's peace brother. Mr. Ed

[@davidmiller6010]

Was thinking about you today, that I hadn't seen you in awhile. Missed connections probably, but presto, there you are. Impressive, massive open aire colony. Think I saw the queen about the 3rd from the last comb you put in the cooler. (Didn't rewind to check). Interesting to see the trees are green in March. We'll see a tinge of green on the early stuff mid-April-ish. But leaves wont fully unfurl until mid-May. Even then, Locust wont come out till the 2nd week of June. I so desire to move down there. Warm weather, and catching bees, what could be sweeter than that? Thanks for sharing, Jeff... Until the next one!

[@JeffHorchoff]

Hey David and thanks for keeping me in mind. Just wanted to let you know, I post a new video every Friday so if you are not being notified, you may have to resubscribe to my channel. It is very common for KZbin to drop subscriptions and this is what may have happened. Our springs come early down here but unfortunately don't last long enough, before you know it summer is here along with temps in the upper 90's and humidity in the 80's. Still, there is no other place I'd live. Thanks for watching. God's peace brother. Mr. Ed

[@ericbeeman8717]

Thats gonna be one hell of a hive that's for sure wow with the shear number of bees there has to be millions of them

[@JeffHorchoff]

Not millions, but for sure over 40,000. 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.

[@generost5435]

Good job guys, I learned a few things about bees today, always thought they were always inside somewhere. Never thought they would build in the open.

[@JeffHorchoff]

Bees are just full of surprises, and they love springing them on beekeepers all the time. Thanks for watching. God's peace Gene. Mr. Ed

[@texanasimmons1761]

Yall were braver than me! If it had been me, Id have gotten back in the van! I just dont do heights!! I even have trouble in very tall buildings. I dont go near any windows in skyscrapers, I dont want to see the ground!

[@JeffHorchoff]

I'm no fan of heights either, but when I'm wrangling bees, I do not even give it a second thought. Thanks for watching. God's peace. Mr. Ed

[@russellaymond312]

Thank you Jeff and Charlie for a once in a a life time removable. I have seen open hive but only 1 or 2 comb and small.

[@JeffHorchoff]

This was a real whopper for sure! Thanks for watching. God's peace Russell. Mr. Ed

[@bcjoey9944]

Cool wrangle Jeff. So interesting

[@sfcmmacro]

I love my Layens hives. I have a blown shoulder and lifting heavy objects is incredibly painful. The Layens setup allows me to keep bees without worrying about lifting heavy supers.

[@JeffHorchoff]

Horizontal hives are a must for all of us injured and older beekeepers. I love mine as well.

[@sfcmmacro]

@@JeffHorchoff I regularly watch your videos… and I’m jealous of your extended season and space you have to follow the passion. I’m limited to the half acre my house sits on (and I have between 1 to 4 colonies). A friend with 70 forrested acres has graciously offered to let me put hives out at their place this year. And I fully I plan on taking them up on that.

...One country boy exclaimed to a rodeo clown,"I'll be John Brown" looking at a huge bee hive, the rodeo clown turned in amazement and said, "me, too"!

[@marilynrobertson6265]

I love that bee box Mr Ed. ❤. Great hive. I’ve been watching for a year. I’m going to buy some property in Texas and move from Illinois this summer. Honey will be my go to and flowers

[@JeffHorchoff]

So excited for you Marilyn, all the best in your future move. Thanks for watching. God's peace. Mr. Ed

Great looking colony! Bees are pretty chill. Speaking from experience pretty sure you're gonna enjoy working the layens hive. God bless both of you guys.

[@JeffHorchoff]

I already have a long hive at the house, and I am really looking forward top working the Layen's this year as well. Thank you for your blessings and for watching, they are greatly appreciated.

[@amandaliberty08]

That was beautiful. It was a great perspective to see the hive and the removal. Glad they are going into a layens.

[@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. 😂

[@gordonspond8223]

That is one beautiful hive AND gorgeous queen-cells. Hard to believe they made it a whole year, but I guess it doesn't get super-cold where you are.

[@JeffHorchoff]

We do get cold, but it never lasts for long. We got 14 cells from this hive and used them all making splits on our hives and Charlie's as well.

[@JeffHorchoff]

An awesome colony for sure and a real beauty to behold! Bees swarm as a means of perpetuation, and it's how bees survive and multiply. If you are looking for some good honey, check out your local farmers market, there's bound to be a local beekeeper there selling local honey.
