What a beautiful location this removal was in....and the comb and honey/nectar was even better. I hope you enjoy this one all the way to the end. Thanks for watching. God's peace.
Mr. Ed
That was a nice calm hive of bee's to work with. I know you prefer to having older comb to frame up but that white comb just looks so clean and tasty with wonderful honey!! The homeowner looked like he could have been one of my relatives, tall with white hair 😆. Great video thanks to Good Time Charlie. God Bless you both!!!
The new comb is so beautiful, but due to the weight of the nectar, it turns to mush almost as soon as it is touched. Thankfully I was able to salvage some of it and get it framed up. Thank you for your blessings and for watching. Until the next one, God's peace Phil.
Mr. Ed
Nine miles from the Abby and five miles of that is on the property. 😝 That is a beautiful place.
I think they should have about 50 hives out there. God's peace brother.
Mr. Ed
Louisiana backroads have some lovely scenery
We have some absolutely stunning backroad scenery here in Louisiana as our culture has roots in so many different origins. What was so interesting about this particular scenery, it was the driveway to the house. 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 brother.
Mr. Ed
🤣😂 You two make me laugh so much, Thanks and better luck next time for Charlies fishing trip🤣😂
Jeff needs you Charlie! Keep on makin' more! (And get some lunch) :) - Jeff
Darn tooting I need Good Time Charlie, he's like my right arm. God's peace Jeff.
Mr. Ed
Beautiful place and sweet puppies! Wild hive and gobbs of honey. I'm slobbering BUT I remember the Bee WRESTLER on this special time. God bless ALL Yall and our hero Ralph too!
That's so kind of you to mention mom, thank you for that Lewie. Even though Ralph may not be with us when we are doing the removals, he is always with us in spirit. God's peace brother.
Mr. Ed
@@JeffHorchoff Can't forget the GOOD ones and when the sawdust flies we all remember Ralph! BLESS you!
Really nice removal! Nice bees and a beautiful place. Always good to be with you on your adventures. God’s constant and boundless blessings to y’all.
This location was stunning, and the bees very gentle. When I get a combo like that it's a real joy doing the removal...plus it was air conditioned. Thank you for your blessings and for watching. God's peace Russ.
Mr. Ed
That’s a great way to band them, I never thought of that, I would love to see a video of when the bees chew them thru and they spring open in the hive lol 😂
No doubt, the easiest way to secure comb to a frame. I bet there is a bit of a whiplash when the band is cut. God's peace brother.
Mr. Ed
Always amazed at how y'all handle each situation. This hive of bees were certainly a lot calmer than some you have wrangled. Maybe think about taking Good Time Charley out to lunch and then fishing for all his help. God's richest blessings to you both!
Neither Charlie or I have the energy to fish AND wrangle bees on the same day, it's one or the other, but Charlie would choose the fishing especially right now when they are biting really good. Regardless of the temperament of the colony when we open the hive, I still love doing the removal. Of course, it's always nicer not to have to wear the suit doing the job. Thanks for watching. God's peace Tom.
Mr. Ed
Nice finish to week with a visit from the Dynamic Duo of Bee Wranglers. Hope you let Charlie get in some fishing. How about a Charlie fishing video?
A Charlie and Mr. Ed fishing rodeo sounds like a really good thing, stay tuned. God's peace Phillip.
Mr. Ed
Did the homeowner know that was a previous bee cavity? I recall a removal in an older video where the homeowner left the cavity open to catch you a swarm every year.
Yes they did, and they had it removed. It is a very common occurrence to have bees reoccupy a space they previously lived in as the area is impregnated with the smell of propolis. Unfortunately, that smell can not be removed or covered over which is why the bees return, they smell it. This is the reason the entrance or opening the bees used to get into the space MUST be sealed up. Thanks for watching. Until the next one, God's peace.
Mr. Ed
Hi Mr Ed and good time Charlie nice to so you on the utube
And it's so nice of you to continue watching us after all this time, thank you very much for doing that. God's peace Nola.
Mr. Ed
I want that honeycomb. With the honey in it. YUM God bless you Jeff.
It was absolutely delicious, and everyone who tastes it falls in love with it...myself included. God's peace JJ.
Mr. Ed
@@JeffHorchoff Just lucky you.
Do you think that the older colony was removed by someone in the past? Where the old comb used to be looked awfully clean for it just to be abandoned.
That colony had been removed last year. 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 Susan.

Good job👍 Blessings, Mr Ed🙏😊💕
Beautiful. Thank you.
Thank you !!!
Awesome job guys!! The past 3 cutouts have been all new comb. I have one coming up on the 19th that's a 2fer. Looks like one old and one new colony in a mobile home and you're correct that they don't discriminate on what they choose. Thanks!
Good luck on the removals, and I hope the new one is not an overhead one. God's peace brother.
Mr. Ed
@@JeffHorchoff They are both on the outside wall and right next to each other. Thanks Jeff!
Wow, i love the expertise of putting combs in frames ❤

Just another great video, It is a cool 32 here today, will see a few bees this afternoon, God bless everyone.
Good Morning to both of you from Denton Texas and Brushpopper's Bee Wrangling.
Good morning Robert, and thank you so much for watching. Until the next one, God's peace brother.
Mr. Ed
mid 40's light rain and out on the creek this morning. maybe 20 some trout pulled in. two big enough to keep, but I was fishing a brookie stream and one was 10 inches and fought like a devil.
Were you fly fishing or rod and reel? Nothing like the pull of a fish on light tackle or fly. Thanks for watching. God's peace Brett.
Mr. Ed
@@JeffHorchoff I took the little 7 ft 6in fly rod, with automatic real regular fishing line with a little mino put on the line by a needle with an open eye and a double hook jammed up inside from the anal fin. So figure light fly.
It's always a blessing when one of your videos comes up! I drive through Covington on my trip and I agree it's a beautiful area. Reminds me of Rural Jacksonville. Still enjoying the honey I got from the Abbey. Stuff is amazing on toast with butter. Some fruity notes come through. I tried it while I was still at the Abbey. Very different from our Florida honey.
Don't forget to reach out before you pass through the next time. God's peace Thomas.
Mr. Ed
Blackberry and privet flow going on here in central Oklahoma. Persimmon coming up next. What beautiful comb and the place was nice. You and Charlie take care. God bless!
I sure hope your flow was as good as ours was. This was the first time I actually got to taste the privet. Thank you for your blessing and for watching. Until the next one, God's peace Garry.
Mr. Ed
Loved the video
Delighted to hear you enjoyed the video, thanks so much for taking the time to watch it and leave your comment. God's peace Tommy.
Mr. Ed
What nice, calm bees and the brood pattern is textbook! Did you find the queen when you moved them into the hive box at the abbey?
Yes I did, and the colony is up and running back to normal. Thanks for watching. Until the next one, God's peace Karla.

Good morning sir, hope that you have a blessed week!
Thank you Steven, and may yours be a blessed one as well! God's peace brother.
Mr. Ed
Yall might as well build access door to that familiar location:)
Well, after this removal, the opening the bees were using was permanently sealed so there will be no more bees in that space.

Mr. Ed
Another great cutout thanks, amazes me how fast they can build one of those hives up. did a meter box for the city last year was called back month and half later was packed full again. Love the looks of that brand new white comb, but difficult to handle sometimes.
Thanks again for the Friday morning video, I got 8 cutouts to do and need more equipment
what's new lol.
I'm in the same boat, I'm running out of equipment real fast. God's peace brother.
Mr. Ed
God bless Charlie and Ralph too.
You are so kind JJ, thank you for all your blessings and for watching. God's peace.
Mr. Ed
Always amazing😊
Good show. Thanks for sharing. 🙋
👍👍👏👏🇺🇲
The new comb looks amazing. Might it be that the new comba neeed more care and fragile handling than the older stuff? Or no it doesn't make too much of a difference and both old or new are equal in their structure/ handling?
As wax ages it gets stronger, but until it has a few weeks of hardening it is VERY soft and simply the weight of the nectar that is stored in it can deform and tear the wax if positioned differently than upright as this position was the way it was designed to hold the weight. 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.
Mr. Ed
That was a very calm colony.. Unlike the last one 🤣
Like night and day. And so it is in the life of a bee wrangler. God's peace Phil.
Mr. Ed
Beautiful place where you were working!! I'm watching your video while I'm working, it's very relaxing to hear the bees! Thanks for sharing! Best Regards, from Mexicali, B.C. México. :)
I hope you are staying hydrated, even working the bees like this I have to drink lots of water or else I start getting cramps in the hand. Thanks for watching. God's peace brother.
Mr. Ed
That honey looked amazing! Why didn't the bees start to build their comb where they had once been instead of building in a "new" place in the same area? And were you the one that came before to remove the previous hive? Great video as always!
I believe they did, they simply had not grown to the point where the old hive had. Generally, a hive will begin very near the entrance and work it's way through the space building comb. No, I had not done the previous removal. Glad you enjoyed the video, thank you for taking the time to watch it. Until the next one, God's peace Annette.
Mr. Ed
Good morning from Oklahoma!!!!
It will never stop amazing me just how much work those girls can get done in such a short space of time. They are a really productive hive. Still a shame Good Time Charlie had to miss out on the fishing though. Trout on the BBQ is a wondering thing. Lovely Pup. I used to breed Arabians, so when I'd walk out my stallions someone would invariably say "That's a big dog". Whilst my friend that bred Great Danes would get "You could put a saddle on that!" 😁
Interesting how they drew the comb in that "V" shape
It is a very typical way comb is drawn. It has to be wider at the top initially so it can support the weight of the comb once it has stores and brood in it. Thanks for watching. God's peace.
Mr. Ed
Love your sweet faces ☺
We are just a couple of old bee wranglers having a grand time saving bees. Thanks for your kind words and for watching. God's peace.
Mr. Ed
Good spot to stop Hornets entering the hive
The bees really picked a good location for the entrance to the hive, small and easily defensible.

Good morning from Amsterdam ✌🏼🇳🇱✌🏼
Jeff I just ordered 3 Sourwood trees (from a Georgia grower)...I've never encountered them here and I think I heard of them on Kamon Reynolds page...I checked and they CAN grow in our zone (I think we are in the same zone) have you ever encountered them in Louisiana or Mississippi?
To my knowledge, they are not native here, but I do know this, they make some great tasting honey.

Well blackberry done here in Taft,tn, tulip poplar finishing off but PRAISE JESUS the carolina buckthorn fixin to open. Not sure if your familiar with it but the bees love it and it makes a juicy fruit flavor. Im fixing to add three comb boxes(cause thats all comb i have saved for this moment) in hopes of seeing if i can collect mostly buckthorn in them. If your north , or mid east Louisiana you should have them too. Our privit been wide open too. The outside smells amazing with its aroma. Thanks again for making videos, and keep proclaiming the Word of Life!
Hope your hives, and your family, survived the storms and tornadoes.
@@randypemberton507 yes, The Lord is faithful, we prayed and storm missed us Praise Jesus! Thanks for concern.
Did the current bees clean up the old comb?
The bees that we removed did clean up the comb once I had it framed. Not only did they clean it up, they secured it to the frames as well. Amazing creatures. Thanks for watching. God's peace Jennie.
Mr. Ed
I've always wondered, why dont you have a transparent tube attachment with queen excluders inside. That way once the queen gets sucked half-way inside, you can spot the bigger bee and transfer to a queen holder or something. 😀
As is most often the case, many bee are vacuumed at the same time. And because the vacuum is designed for low suction, anything in the hose to restrict the movement of the bees will create a jam. Though I really like the idea, I really do not think it would not work. 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 brother.

Can you show us how big Charlies lunch bucket is when he goes out fishin. It's gotta be humongous because he wouldn't be close to a restaurant. Thanks for the videos.
I'm going to ask Charlie to show us, but I know he will be very reluctant to divulge his food locker, he is always suspicious someone may raid it. God's peace Bryan.
Mr. Ed
Something about you biting the comb then putting it with all the other comb…then sometimes using that comb for your honey…I don’t know, just wigs me out, haha!!
Not to worry, the only other beings that got any of that honey were the bees and they really don't mind a few of my germs.

Mr. Ed
With that brood comb I expected you to cut off the bottom part with honey/nectar and without brood, as that is the newest and softest, to be able to cut a bit higher and get some more brood (you did cut through the top of the brood).
When placing cut comb in a frame, I try getting as much of the comb in the frame with the most resources and brood. That's just the way I do it and it has worked very well for years. Thanks for watching. God's peace brother.
Mr. Ed
@@JeffHorchoff I understand, but in this case I would have prioritized brood. But you are the man on the spot.
Lindo vídeo ,gostava de fazer uma pergunta ,o aspirador é próprio para abelhas ,ou é um aspirador normal obrigado
Não, o Bee Vac não é um aspirador normal. Como o aspirador de abelhas é especialmente projetado com uma sucção muito baixa, há quase zero mortes toda vez que removo abelhas usando o aspirador de abelhas. Obrigado por assistir, e espero que você confira mais de minhas aventuras de luta de abelhas/resgate de abelhas e me diga o que você acha delas. A propósito, eu posto um novo vídeo toda sexta-feira de manhã e espero ouvir de você novamente em breve. A paz de Deus.
Sr.
Did you clean up the last bits of comb?
Yes indeed, nothing was left behind and whatever was not put into a frame was rendered into wax.

Mr. Ed
Privet is considered an invasive species in US but it is very useful for bees for pollen and honey. If it is useful, why consider it invasive unless we can replace it with natives is my question. 😊
I suppose the "labeling" of privet as invasive will depend on who is speaking. As a beekeeper I wish there were more of it. Thanks for watching. God's peace.
Mr. Ed
Picking up that heat generated by the bees that was just trapped by the joist makes me think your vevor is too sensitive.
Very possible, but when I put my head in the space, the heat was very noticeable even 3 feet from the hive. Thanks for watching. God's peace brother.
Mr. Ed
I went looking for ant queens for help with a study. Opened an ant nest, saw something with wings. Brought it home
It was a sweat bee. Apparently they overwinter in ant nests.
You'd not think it was an ant. She was tiny. I was going to release her but she escaped in my apartment.
Interesting, I hope you found her. God's peace brother.
Mr. Ed
@@JeffHorchoff nothing yet alas. I thought I heard her at one point but it's an ant sized animal in a cluttered house. She may have gone to the window when it had light and got out though!
do they get mad if you cut through brood or squish adults?
Unlike humans, bees do not get mad, they simply react to the situation at hand, and in a sense, they are not emotional but rather reactionable. So yes, it is not a good idea to kill adults or brood in a hive, but it does happen unintentionally often. Very good question. 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.

Great video Mr. Ed. Took me a while to view it, I’m out flying. With that said I had the “pleasure”🙄 of my wife calling me yesterday telling me that one of my hives was swarming. 😡 She was like an ESPN commentator, “Oh no your bees are swarming, they’re up in the oak tree, wow 2 feet long cluster about 40 feet up in the tree… 🤣 I thank God for her everyday.

Mr Ed I bought a 5 frame nuc I 2 weeks ago I went in to day I didn't see a queen before I got the bees the store had to let bees fly is it possible the queen was not bred and went to get bred when I picked bees up she was gone
No, as most nucs have a laying queen in them when purchased, I would suspect something happened to yours between the time the nuc was purchased and when you discovered the nuc was queen less. God's peace David.

Hope you bought GTC a fish lunch since he couldn't go fishing.
Funny you should say that, he got fish tacos for lunch that day. Thank you brother, and God's peace always.
Mr. Ed
How long does it take them to make that much comb
Ten days, if the flow is on, and for a swarm - swarms are loaded up with all they can carry and are predisposed to start building. If you can keep them supplied with undrawn waxed foundation they will keep going, too. If you have somewhere to store some, it is worth swapping out a frame or two as they build it, as freshly drawn comb is great for baiting a swarm trap, if you don't have any old used comb.
These bees had been in the structure for less than 21 days. It is amazing just how fast a large swarm can draw new comb. 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.
