Lord, thank for keeping these gentlemen and their families. Amen. 🇬🇧🕊👑✝️👑🕊🇬🇧

[@JeffHorchoff]

Thank you for your beautiful blessings and for following along with our bee wrangling adventures. Until the next one, God's peace Sherry. Mr. Ed

[@MatWalter-q3h]

Mr. Ed you have finally made to the big time. WE are watching YOU and you clearly dont know.... well what day it is? what month it is? what year it is? People have to tell you what to say all the time... shucks you might as well be the President. I would vote for you.

[@JeffHorchoff]

You are right, I now qualify to run for any public office, even president. Thanks for watching. God's peace Mat. Mr. Ed

[@628DirtRooster]

I can’t believe you went and lost that kid’s bait and probably his last hook too. Oh well, sucks for him. At least you got your bees. 😬

[@JeffHorchoff]

He showed me and Charlie, he caught the bass later and it was over 6 pounds. Heck, all I got was a few bees. God's peace brother. Mr. Ed

[@tommychew6544]

DirtRooster you took it too easy on him, you should have schooled him on how to find those bees! The big hole on the outside of the tin with no bee action was kind of telling of what wouldn't be behind it. I love the relationship between you guys!

[@Thea_MojaveOutliersWhipmakers]

Good morning, Mr. Ed!! I guess it's time for a coffee break!

[@TinyHouseHomestead]

The bees was in there like a wedgie! 😱🤪🤣👍🇺🇸 They be duuug in like an alleeeebammee tick! 🤪🤣👍✌️🇺🇸

[@brockshields9336]

You'll make all that nasty old comb look purdy once you've rendered it down and skimmed off all that old funky gunk.

[@JeffHorchoff]

Ain't that the truth. God's peace brother. Mr. Ed

[@RhainEDaize]

4 years ago I was petrified of bee's. I started watching your videos with headphones on to get desensitized . Today , I am in love with them. I can let them crawl on me now. Yellow jackets are just jerks. I have no use for them. Thank you Jeff . 😊

Mug up with Good Time Charlie and Mr. Ed, What a great day it's going to be! Thanks for sharing, Peace, from the lakes region of central New Hampshire.

[@ericander2108]

I do removals in California, I love your videos, I learn a lot. God bless you both

[@JeffHorchoff]

A bee wrangler out west, awesome! Thank you for your blessings and for saving our bees as well as taking the time to watch the video. Also, 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 Eric. Mr. Ed

[@danielweston9188]

There is so much interesting information in the comb . . .

[@coinstipatedtexan83]

Like Mike Tyson said, " Everybody has a plan until you get punched in the mouth "

[@John_Lete]

Jesus bless you abundantly and continually embrace you Mr. Ed, you and your family. You are the best beekeeper I know of and I imagine the bees sense the vibe from you as they are being vacuumed that they are in good hands and going to a good home at Abby's bee farm. Looking forward to one day meeting you in Heaven. God bless you.

[@JeffHorchoff]

Thank you so much for your blessings, kind words, and for taking the time to follow along with all my bee wrangling adventures. God's peace John. Mr. Ed

[@rodneymiddleton9624]

I would have been afraid to use any of that comb. I take the bees on those instances and pull frames of brood and stores from strong colonies to give them the best chance to survive bug free. Thanks Mr. Ed and Charlie!!

[@JeffHorchoff]

I don't use the comb from failing colonies, but these guys were taking the hive back over so I did use some of the really good comb. God's peace brother. Mr. Ed

[@3boysbees]

I absolutely love your videos

[@Wahots79]

Another good wrangle! We haven't seen much of Wreck-it-Ralph of late, hope he's doing ok. Blessings to you and yours, Brother Ed!

[@JeffHorchoff]

Since Ralph has a regular job, he can't go on as many bee wrangling adventures as he'd like to, but he goes whenever he can. I have a video that will be posted in 2 more weeks that Ralph is in, stay tuned. Thank you for your blessings and for watching. God's peace. Mr. Ed

[@PaulGAckerman]

Did Mr Ed just give us a new way of saying "don't judge a book by its cover" when he said he thought the hive was in trouble when he first opened iy up? More words of wisdom? I don't often comment on your videos but I always enjoy them and find them educational. Thank you for all that you do. This is one of the most wholesome channels on KZbin.

[@lewiemcneely9143]

Sure turned out to bee a NICE hive, even though it didn't look like much to start with and Ralph trained Charley right. Old Eagle eyeball. God Bless and I made the Tube mad so I don't get replies for a while. As Cheryl says, they can SIT on it! Gods Peace!

[@kat.w.RBF444]

Oh this makes me want to rewind to before this took place at the end of May and be back at the beginning of summer. I will miss the warm weather and seeing the bees in my garden…until next spring. Glad you’re all saving these girls and helping them do what they do best. 🐝

[@maryjanebeatty6030]

I’m sure when the bees are not where you think they are it’s frustrating but y’all did a great job getting all the bees and the queen (rats nest and all). Great job !! Thanks for sharing and letting me tag along :)

[@jenniferk9242]

Truly a smorgasbord of bee removal-we've got hive beetles, we've got wax moths, big cockroaches (yikes those were actually spiders??? ) and even a rat's nest! Oh yeah, and some bees 🐝🐝🐝. Haven't finished the video yet, I wonder if there are any more surprises? Didn't think you'd get the 👑🐝 this time, she played a good game of hide and seek 😂

[@mythreecatsbysusan]

maybe in future episodes you can get Billy the Exterminator from Vexcon in Shreveport as a guest. You or Mr Rooster.

[@JeffHorchoff]

I used to watch Billy all the time, it would bee wonderful to have him along on one of my bee wrangling adventures. God's peace Susan. Mr. Ed

[@G.W.H.]

Great catch!!!

[@MrHDE-ex6xl]

That was one tough job there

[@JeffHorchoff]

Tough but a lot of fun. God's peace. Mr. Ed

[@texanasimmons1761]

It was a bit on searching but you found those girls. I think the hive will survive just fine! Thanks Jeff and Charlie!

[@gerardjohnson2106]

That was a smart rat. It built the nest in a climate controlled environment. Nice colony. Thanks for sharing.

[@carmenm.9522]

Thank you, Jesus! A rats nest! Lol!

Wow what a time lag from March to September !

[@JeffHorchoff]

I've got more videos to post that are older than this one, get ready. Thank for watching. God's peace. Mr. Ed

[@JJDigitalartStudio]

They must think this is a good place to settle down and raise a bunch of girls but the beetles and moths were already there. God bless your efforts Jeff and Charlie and the Doctor.

[@131dyana]

Thanks for taking us along glad the spiders left you alone. God bless you guys.

[@melaniefisher8823]

Man, I never hoped for a queen so badly in any hive more than this one for some reason. They just tried so hard, and lived in poverty...just a sad chicken coop.

[@JeffHorchoff]

Actually, the chickens have a really nice run outside the coop, and it's covered with a canopy to prevent hawk attacks, and chain link fence to keep all other predators out. I'm just sorry we did not show that. Just so you know, these bees are doing GREAT since the removal, and I'm very confident I will be splitting them next Spring. God's peace Melanie. Mr. Ed

[@jodiehovenden315]

Thank you Jesus 😊 🐝

[@raystevens687]

As many Bees 🐝 you vacuum up I'm wondering if there might be a 2nd Queen.

[@JeffHorchoff]

It may seem that way, but when you have a queen with good genetics, they are always good producers of brood and consequently, a lot of bees. Thanks for watching. God's peace Ray. Mr. Ed

[@DaisyTheBlue]

Mr. Ed makes me smile with every video. I really love learning about bees and his demeanor and smile just make the whole video. Keep it up Mr. Ed.

[@huldu]

What are those big things running away at @8:43 and a bit onward, cockroaches? We don't have cockroaches where I live so never seen one in real life. If it's a cockroach they look terrifying.

[@JeffHorchoff]

The roaches here in Louisiana grow pretty big, and they love living in bee hives. Thanks for watching, God's peace. Mr. Ed

[@bcjoey9944]

Looks like natural chicken feed. Do chickens eat them? They probably like the larvae. Did anyone catch the bass?

[@JeffHorchoff]

Chickens love wax moth larva as well as any other type of nasties that happen to be in a bee hive. We did not catch the bass, but the kid that was putting the perch on the line for me did. It was over 6 pounds. God's peace brother. Mr. Ed

[@jessgreenwood262]

My late granma kept bees in atraditional basket hive, she menthol breath on her bees to get them away from their hive. She used cheese cloth to strain her honey.

[@cheneysherry50]

Always great to see you god bless.

[@southerncountryfarm]

Wow! That hive had it all lol. Did you share any of those grubs with the chickens? They'd of been real thankful for that treat 😊

[@JeffHorchoff]

These chickens did not get any, but I'm feeding the abbey chickens maggots all the time. As a matter of fact, I gave them a bunch just this morning. Thanks for watching. God's peace Cindy. Mr. Ed

[@branmcg9844]

Thanks Professor Ed. Film the spiders too next time.

[@JeffHorchoff]

I thought Charlie got some video of the spider, it was HUGH, but apparently, it scared him so much he dared not shot any footage of it. God's peace brother. Mr. Ed

[@chilled99]

What circumstances will you not collect wild honey and can you run wild comb through the uncapping machine?

[@JeffHorchoff]

The only reason for not collecting wild honey is if the comb has been contaminated with poison. Any wild honey is not run through machines, it is processed by hand, and the video link below shows how I do that. Thanks for watching. God's peace. Mr. Ed kzbin.info/www/bejne/pnyzh42ZaZqEZtE

[@DataPilot370]

When you vacuum bees out of a sick hive like this one, are you concerned that you may also pick up wax moth larvae? Love your videos, by the way!

[@slypig24]

I'd like to know the answer to that question too.

[@JeffHorchoff]

Firstly, the hive was not "sickly," the hive that had previously been there was the sickly one and that one was gone. The wax moth was not on any of the comb the bees were working but on the part that had been abandoned. So no, I was not concerned with bringing back eggs or larva from the wax moth. Also, the wax that I took from the abandoned part of the hive was melted down, it still is good and the eggs and larva don't survive the rendering process. Thanks for watching. God's peace. Mr. Ed

[@raystevens687]

Feed the Warm to the Chickens

[@JeffHorchoff]

I do. God's peace brother. Mr. Ed

[@ErinneKennedy]

if you are vacuuming bees doesn't the moth larvae and hive beetles get in the vacuum trap too?

[@JeffHorchoff]

The beetles do get into the vacuum but are killed after the bees are released, check out the link below showing how that is possible. Because wax moth eggs and larva on on the comb, they are not vacuumed. Thanks for watching. God's peace Erinne. Mr. Ed kzbin.info/www/bejne/ZpzWhIFuhadlm6s

[@manfromthesouthend]

Ty Mr. Ed. Do you a demo for creating a bee vacuum? Do you charge for the bee removals?

[@JeffHorchoff]

I do not charge to remove bees. However, I do ask for donations to support the Abbee Honey Program here at St. Joseph Abbey, and if the homeowner is so inclined to donate, I'll happily accept it for the monks. Otherwise, it's a free service. The link below is on the video I made showing how I built my bee vac. Thanks for watching, and I hope you will check out more of my over 500 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 William. Mr. Ed kzbin.info/www/bejne/qoeWnoVpbttpiKM

[@meatballtn]

When you vac the bees, what happens if you vac a wax moth larvae? Will the bees kill it?

[@JeffHorchoff]

I can't remember ever vacuuming a moth larva in all the years I have been doing this, but if I did, and I was unaware of it, it did not survive the transfer. Thanks for watching. God's peace. Mr. Ed

[@mikel.8692]

Was wondering if he noticed that huge spider at 5:00 then he mentioned it at the end.

[@JeffHorchoff]

Oh yea, I noticed it. So glad it did not jump on me. Thanks for watching. God's peace Mike. Mr. Ed

[@lorrainecampbell6448]

I bet this was the removal that convinced you to replace your bee suit, right?

[@JeffHorchoff]

It was one of them. God's peace Lorraine. Mr. Ed

[@joseortiz5965]

Awesome

[@paulgamblin1860]

When the comb is this infested, is it worth rendering the wax? And would that kill anything living in it?

[@JeffHorchoff]

In my opinion, it's almost always worth rendering the wax. To me wax has as much value as the bees and the honey. Yes, rendering the wax will sterilize it. Thanks for watching. God's peace Paul. Mr. Ed

[@KDVoller]

I was going to ask, so those were spiders 🕷 running when you pulled that comb not roaches? No thanks

[@JeffHorchoff]

Oh no, those were roaches....big 'ol fat Louisiana....and spiders as well. Thanks for watching. God's peace Karen. Mr. Ed

[@slypig24]

Jeff, Is there any extra cleaning of your equipment, to stop transferring the pest eggs and lava back to your hives? Cheers from Australia 🇦🇺

[@JeffHorchoff]

The transferring of eggs is never a real concern of mine as the equipment is left exposed to daylight and air between removals. By the time we do another removal, everything is all dried up and ready to go. Thanks for watching. God's peace brother. Mr. Ed

[@jamesmanley9521]

Well informed, are there any danger of vac up hive larva, I would be scared of spreading them

[@JeffHorchoff]

In all the years I have been wrangling bees with a bee vac, bringing back larva, or eggs of the beetle or moth from the bee vac have never arisen. However, none of the contaminated comb is used in the hive as this will certainly contain eggs or larva. Thanks for watching. God's peace James. Mr. Ed

[@rehmangusandapiary9024]

It just kept getting better! Jeff where did you get that queen clip? I like that both ends of the clip pin are crimped to prevent axial movement of the pin. The ones at our local supply store are not crimped on both ends. Thanks from Arkansas!

[@JeffHorchoff]

I got them from Amazon, they have everything! Thanks for watching. God's peace Philip. Mr. Ed

[@jeffreytofield9764]

How do u know u are not taking moth eggs when u are hovering up?

[@JeffHorchoff]

I really do not know, but I've been vacuuming bees this for over 15 years, and have never gotten moths from the bee vac. Thanks for watching and for asking. God's peace Jeffrey. Mr. Ed

[@farmer998]

tin will show a heat signature

[@GEEZBEEZ]

I don’t like wax moths. Enjoyed the video though. It looked like a nasty area but turned out good. Did you catch any fish? Take care and God bless.

I feel so silly! I've been subscribed to this channel for awhile now & I knew his name is Jeff but he always says "Mr. Ed here!" Anyone know why he refers to himself as Mr. Ed?

[@labrd41]

A nickname he picked up at the post office.

[@JeffHorchoff]

Your question is the single most asked question of them all so it is not a silly one. The name "Mr. Ed" was given to me when I began working at the Post Office back in '82, and when I retired 27 years later and started my KZbin channel, because I loved the name so much, I just continued calling myself that name.
