Loved this video, especially showing how you extract the honey on a level for the backyard bee keeper. Charlie did a great job on building this hive box.

[@JeffHorchoff]

It just goes to show, an extractor is not necessary, and keeping bees can be done on the cheap. I agree, Charlie did an out standing job on the build.

[@waywardstitch8604]

I'm noticing that everytime I watch one of these vids I'm having a fantasy about being a hobby beekeeper. Now this small personal hive had me dreaming once again. But then I suddenly remember, darnit! I'm allergic to bee stings!!! haha! 🤦🏽‍♀️ Oh well, back to reality! 🤷🏽‍♀️ It's not a life-threatening allergy but it's bad enough that there's no way I would risk even a single sting. Thanks, Mr Ed, for making me dream... and smile... and laugh. 😄🙏🏼

[@JeffHorchoff]

I can not tell you how many folks tell me they are unable to keep bees due to allergic reactions, and yet they love watching my videos because there is no danger of getting stung and they still can fulfill that desire of keeping bees. Know this, I am delighted to bee able to supply the happiness of keeping bees even if it would be impossible otherwise. 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.

Jeff, love the cleaning crew start to this video. Here in Canastota NY (20 miles east of Syracuse NY) I do the same. However I git a lot of yellow jackets, bald-faced hornets, carpenter bees, and paper wasps helping with the cleaning. Long Langstroth Hive (LLH) has become my go to. Built 4 this year. I too, moved the legs from the ends to the sides. Also single entrance versus triple. My first LLH had the triple but now 2 are sealed up by a scrap of wood. No need for a queen excluder as the queen stays in the brood area. I love my LLHs. 32° this morning and all I have to do for winterizing is walking away. I have 2" ridged foam insulation in the top. This works for both winter heat retention and summer cooling purposes. No heavy lifting for the mite treatment. I.e. no lifting heavy boxes to get to the brood section. I do reduce the entrance for winter prep but that's so minor I tend to forget about it. Here's my cleaning crew with a tour of my apiary at the end: kzbin.info/www/bejne/f4aoaGd8pLVjl9E Edit: got to love deep honey frames! I harvested over 10 gallons of honey from the 20 frames I pulled from my LLHs 3 weeks ago. Edit 2: definitely dark late season honey.

Just as good as the honey I sent you. God's peace brother. Mr. Ed

[@G.W.H.]

@@JeffHorchoff Thank you so much!!!

[@mikel.8692]

Wish I was your neighbor and could get some honey, I'll order some soon, looks too good. God bless

[@JeffHorchoff]

If you'd like to buy some of our Abbey Honey, I'd be more than happy to send you some. The cost is $10.00 for a one pound, plastic bottle, and $10.00 for shipping. If you want more than one bottle, the shipping cost is still $10.00 for up to 2 bottles, but each bottle is still $10.00. As soon as I get your check, I will send it out. Make the check out to St. Joseph Abbey but send the letter to: Mr. Ed 75376 River Rd. St. Benedict, La. 70457 If you'd like, I'll even sign the bottle. Looking forward to hearing from you. Thank you for your blessings and for watching. God's peace Mike. Mr. Ed

WOW! Charlie nice job on that hive! Mr. Ed, that's got a real nice ring to it - you should copyright that saying lol, "Hobby beekeeping is a way of life." God Bless.

[@WreckDiver99]

The horizontal hive looks great. First time I ever saw one was the ones Cody (from Cody's lab) has. Looked really slick for sure.

[@JeffHorchoff]

It's a great way to keep bees, and a lot easier for old guys like me. Thanks for watching. God's peace brother. Mr. Ed

[@MaryWehmeier]

Beautiful hive! That honey looks fantastic! Time to make the biscuits!

[@JeffHorchoff]

I always wondered how a person who didn’t have all that fancy equipment would extract honey, you did such an amazing job explaining the process… I just told my husband that beekeepers must live a long and healthy lives….

[@mariedoremus8440]

Love that beehive Good Time Charlie made for you two! Thanks for sharing sharing ❤️

[@KajunHomestead]

Man I missed it when it first came out , but gotta say that's one awesome hive, he did a great job on that hive. The Dirt Rooster is going to send you a Stop order on using his opening line lol. God Bless Jeff Great Video.❤👍👍👍🙏🙏🙏

God Bless you

[@GEEZBEEZ]

What a wonderful hive. Charlie put much thought and love into it. Glad to see you moved into your new house. Man that honey looked good. Hope to see you and Mona at hive life. Take care and God bless you and yours.

[@JeffHorchoff]

Looking forward to seeing you both at Hive Live as well. God's peace brother. Mr. Ed

[@MERRLINN]

Thanks!

[@JeffHorchoff]

Your generosity humbles me, thank you very much Merlin. God's peace brother. Mr. Ed

[@gailh9749]

Beautiful hive box. Loved this video of a one-man honey gathering job. I just love those little bees; true wonders of nature.

[@esparka]

I took 2 frames of honey from my 14 frame Layens horizontal hive that I started with a swarm I caught on May 23rd, 2022. I filled close to 20 8oz. Honey-bear bottles. Not bad for a 1st time beekeeper. Located in Charlotte, NC. 2 miles from the center city…

[@JeffHorchoff]

What a great story, and some great bees you have as well. Kudos to both you and your bees. Thanks for watching. God's peace. Mr. Ed

[@esparka]

@@JeffHorchoff Your videos, over the past several years, were certainly a positive influence on my motivation & on my understanding of the process involved, from trap to honeybear bottle… Your attitude, your channel episode style & the connection to the Abby, all help tremendously in the dissemination of skills for we the viewer to benefit. Blessings back….

@@JeffHorchoff yes man I like to see your videos and 628 too o something like that

[@adam1299]

Gonna start a hive this spring and you just gave me hope that I’m not gonna go broke getting started lol…Well done sir, really nice bees

[@JeffHorchoff]

I have always said the world needs as many beekeepers as it can get, and I'm delighted to hear you are getting ready to join the ranks. Beekeeping can be expensive, but there are a lot of ways to do it on the cheap.

[@spokehedz]

Nothing wrong with keeping it simple.

[@JeffHorchoff]

It the way I want my life to bee. Thanks so much for taking the time to watch the video. I appreciate it tremendously. Also, in case you did not know, I post a new video every Friday, and I would hope you could check some of those out or a few of the 500 that I have already posted. Until the next one, God's peace Alexander. Mr. Ed

[@phillipduncan2497]

Ever since seeing this hive at your place last spring I have been looking forward to seeing it in action. Charlie did a very nice job building the hive and supplying the bees for it. Looking forward to seeing you again in TN. God Bless. I had a lot of positive feedback on your visit with our club here in KC this month.

[@JeffHorchoff]

Looking forward to seeing you there as well Phillip. If you'd like for me to speak again, let me know. Thank you for your blessings and for watching. God's peace brother. Mr. Ed

[@babinsbeestopbarbeekeeping7029]

What a fun video to watch - thanks for sharing. I have 6 top bar hives (and a few Langs) and we harvest with the crush and strain method as well.

[@JeffHorchoff]

Glad to hear you enjoyed watching, I appreciate that tremendously, and I do love sharing my experiences of wrangling and keeping bees. I have to say, even though we have a nice honey house here at St. Joseph Abbey where I keep the bees for the monks, I really like employing the old school ways of extracting it, so satisfying. Also, in case you did not know, I post a new video every Friday, and I would hope you could check some of those out or a few of the 500 that I have already posted. Until the next one, God's peace.. Mr. Ed

[@raybeadlejr6838]

got a love it.. wow.

[@JeffHorchoff]

Every time I harvest honey I love it, and this time I got to keep it for myself. Thanks for watching. God's peace Ray. Mr. Ed

[@themercurialmoxie]
