Very nice. I'm so glad to see you orienting the comb properly; however, putting the comb in the cooler upside-down is likely to kill the developing queen cells- or so I've been told, (I do so many Africanized cut-outs that are simply exterminations, *sigh). 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!

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. By the way, I post a new video every Friday morning, and I look forward to hearing from you again soon. God's peace Kennith. 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.

[@saxophoneplay1]

@@JeffHorchoff…..did he tell us to vacuum them up?

[@davidhanson2351]

When you do an update on the hive, could you maybe visit Charlie’s place and show us what he has. I’d be interested to see Charlie’s set up also.

John Brown, bullfighter...even if an entertainer, couldnt have rodeo without you! Hugs!

You got that right, he put the whole thing together and got the job done right! Thanks for watching. God's peace. Mr. Ed

...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"!

Cool wrangle Jeff. So interesting

[@RM-yc7ov]

Happy Easter, Mr. Ed Just wanted to give you a shout because my one year-old, three-year-old and myself love watching your videos together. I especially love the strong male friendship that you guys have, it’s really beautiful to see. We have family in Abbeville Louisiana with family missions company, so we hope to one day visit you after getting off the airplane in New Orleans my three year old loves your honey house videos the most. God bless.

[@JeffHorchoff]

Delighted to share our wholesome, family videos with you and your sons, thank you so much for introducing them to the world of bees. Who knows, they may become future beekeepers themselves, and I always say the world needs as many beekeepers as it can get. If you guys every get to Louisiana, I certainly hope you will make it down to the abbey, I'd love to meet all of you. Thank you for your blessings and for watching. Until the next time, God's peace brother. 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. 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 Khan. Mr. Ed

[@kellypalmer1077]

Jeff, you used to dip your frames to clean them , do you still do that, what do you think k about steaming your boxes and frames via steam machine? Or squeezing out wax and water. I have been watching how other countries bee keepers different ways of rendering the wax, and the Canadian bee guy way of getting more yield of honey and more return of wax, plz what's your thoughts, I enjoy your opinions, you have guided my boy in more ways than one in this way of life you and he has chosen

[@JeffHorchoff]

I still am trying to get a steam cleaner strong enough to clean the frames with, I really think that is the way to go. However, until that day comes, I will continue dipping them into boiling water as that is the best way I have found so far. It's an honor for me to hear I have inspired your son, I hope to continue to do so. Thanks for watching. God's peace Kelly. Mr. Ed

[@12bigredd]

follow up required.... :) that big horozontal box cool

[@JeffHorchoff]

There will be one in a few months. Hopefully we will get some honey from these girls as well.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.

[@michaelsanchez8457]

That seems like a pretty good queen.

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

[@Chaplain_GM]

Rare to See an open Colony Mr Ed! I think ive only Seen it here now Thank you!

[@JeffHorchoff]

They are more common than you think, but still quite fascinating when you come across them. I have probably seen dozens over the years and have made at least 3 videos removing them.

[@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

[@reneebrown2968]

I adore my layens hive. The bees come out of winter strong and build up amazingly quickly.

[@gordonspond]

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.
