I think the hardest part on this removal was getting to the bees, and to do it, it was necessary to split a log in half, long ways, in order to expose them. However, with a bit of help from Julio, we got the log split, removed the bees, and then relocated them. All in all, a great adventure. God's peace to all.
Mr. Ed
After seeing a few of your videos I became fascinated and subscribed to your channel. Now I never just take bees ( or honey for that matter) for granted. They are truly amazing little creatures. Thank you
same thing happened to me ....during lock down. Now I'm hooked.
@@rickcimino5483 Go get a hive of your own(or 2). I was afraid of them for 50 years. I watched the Dirt Roosters videos and got hooked. Randy led me to Mr. Ed. Now I watch both. And I have my own hives.
Thank you so very much for your gift of subbing to my channel, I truly appreciate it. 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.
Mr. Ed
I've got 5 natural log hives set up on my farm, with honeybees in them. I enjoy watching and providing them a natural cavity to live in. I get honey occasionally but really just enjoy their presence for pollination. I enjoy catching the swarms and giving them away or put them in another log. Thanks for posting another Friday video!
I have never gotten any my log hives to live for more than 3 years. Usually they die out over the winter and I suspect they starve. God's peace Billy.
Mr. Ed
Mr Ed, I think that the original colony may have absconded and a swarm moved in after the tree was taken down and that’s why there’s no stores. I operated heavy equipment in my younger years and had to take several bee trees down for roads or buildings. Once the tree is on the ground within a day or two the bees would abscond and then I would take a chainsaw to it and harvest the honey. I didn’t know back then that I should have been saving the bees!
I bet your right.
I think your scenario is very probable, but whatever the case, the bees are being taken care of now. God's peace Don.

Mr Ed you're amazing brother and brave. My wife and I love your videos and information. Stay safe and God bless you sir.
That's some precision cutting. It's almost like Schawee was there telling you where to cut.
He was in the back ground directing, he did not want any of the credit. Oh yea, he saw the queen as soon as the log was split hiding behind the 4th section of comb, and he coached me on that too. God's peace brother.
Mr. Ed
That's what I thought! If he doesn't have a scope, it must have been the Lord that guided him. And that's completely possible, I've managed to do somethings that just can't be explained away by chance it would seem.
Well done 👍👍👍Thank you for sharing. Take care of yourself, be safe, and healthy 🇨🇦
The new trio as in one of many, firewood, a new hive full and a swelled hand. Happy Jesus weekend to everybody and God Bless!
You get the Cadillac of all vacuums high tech God bless Mr ed I'm surprised that chain saw worked that well impressive

Great video Mr Edd, wish you would show more building the hive box after collecting the bees, love to see how you arrange the different sections.
Keep making videos.
I have included that process many times in previous videos, but I will include it in a future one very soon. Thanks for watching. God's peace Martin.
Mr. Ed
@Jeff Horchoff Bees. Why do you suppose they weren’t making honey for winter? Thank you for your amazing videos!
My guess is they had eaten most of it already. They were storing nectar, but there was not to much. Not to worry though, I am feeding them and they will make it. God's peace Marilynn.
Mr. Ed
In case Mr. Ed misses this comment, I'll try to fill in with what another viewer said. It may have been an absconded hive that a swarm took over. I always like reading other people's comments and hitting like with ones I agree with on a friendly site like this. You would be surprised by what you can learn.
Its that noise from the saw that is pissing the ladies off .
That screaming little banshee gets me too , and I am not even there .
Cuts really well though !
I was surprised how good that saw preformed, but not surprised at all as to the reaction of the bees. God's peace William.

Mr. Ed
I think the difference is this was a limb and not a tree. Looks by the comb, it was on about 45 degree angle or a little steeper.
At first I thought so as well, then the home owner pointed out on the tree trunk where this limb came from and it was a vertical trunk.

Nice split. Just the right spot. Better than two hours. Enjoyed the video. God bless.
Africanized bees have been spreading throughout the U.S. A beekeeper was killed in NH and a worker in Ohio almost died when he was stung several thousand times. Be careful!
Fortunately, the Africanized bee has not reached us yet, but I know we will have them one day. God's peace.
Mr. Ed
i would have to set that log up with lid frames and bees
I could have done that, but I wanted to house them in a box instead. God's peace brother.
Mr. Ed
We got our Everything Bee Vac in the spring. Worked great.... But, we had an issue with the charging system. We contacted the company, sent what they told us back. Within a week and a half, we had it back. They honored the 1yr warranty without issue or fuss and the only cost we had was shipping to Texas from Alabama. If you're looking for a great bee vac y'all go check them out.
Thanks for the comment on their customer service! I figured they were a great company from seeing comments from Randy at 628 Dirt Rooster about improvements he had mentioned to them that could be done and that's what they have on them now it seems.
@@tommychew6544 you're welcome. That's who we talked with about getting a bee vac, was Randy @628 Dirt Rooster. He's been good to us! He recommended a few different bee vacs and left the choice to us.
What mainly sold us was... Being cordless and a way to keep your bee's cool the whole time they are in the vac... during transport and removals.
We highly recommend Nopec/Everything Bee Vac. If someone is looking to purchase a bee vac, trade with those folks.
Tony is an awesome guy, and he backs his product which is an incredible bee vac. I don't go on a removal without it. I love my Everything Bee Vac. Thanks for watching. God's peace.

Hi Jeff, I have never been interested in bee keeping until I found this channel. Question, can anyone visit the Abbey?
I am always opened to receiving visitors at the abbey. Simply get in touch with me prior to your visit so I can make sure I will be present. I can be reached at oscelata@gmail.com
Looking forward to meeting you some day. God's peace Debbie.
Mr. Ed
How long can the brood survive without the bees covering it? In the winter?
As long as the brood is capped, it can last several hours untended as long as it's kept in the ice chests. In winter time, the time is less, but since there is so little brood in the hive at that time, that is not an issue. 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
What happens to the hive bees that get left behind? And do the robber bees join the colony or is their inherent job to remain a robber?
The bees that are left behind will eventually find another hive to call home, all they have to do is bring in some honey and they will be welcomed. As long as not to many robber bees are vacuumed, they will join the new hive. Bees are VERY social. God's peace Melanie.
Mr. Ed
Doing clean up around my hometown. (Ft Myers). Hurricane made a big mess. I have seen so many hives that drowned in the storm and surge😢😢😢😢😢😢. So many hives in water meters on the ground and it is horrible to see them all dead. I am super stoked that my bees at home survived all that wind.(they were ANGRY the day after, but now are back to normal.)
I have a downed tree I have to go get bees out of when I get the time, but I am working over 80 hours a week on disaster relief.
Pace yourself and stay safe in that mess!
So sorry for all the beekeepers and bees in Florida, a real disaster. Thanks for all you are doing Joey, I have all you guys in my prayers. God's peace brother.
Mr. Ed
Can you please tell me what make and model is your bee vac and what is the other one that you use.

Mr. Ed
The little battery power saw is interesting how long will it last on a charge
I used one battery to open the log, so I guess with the 2 batteries there is about 45 minutes of juice. Great little saw. God's peace Joey.
Mr. Ed
What kind of vacuum did you used . Is that designed for the bees or the regular house vacuumed. Many Thanks!

@3:51 - That fella down at the 4oclock position is staring out at you with great interest. It's really excited for moving day!

the bees who have been here for millions of years know what they want are doing fine, now man has stepped in to do what is "best for them", their good life is over as they knew it.
There are many philosophies on keeping bees, and "ownership" is one of them. However, I prefer the term "steward," and regard my role as one of assisting the bees to prosper on their terms and not force my idea of how bees should behave upon them, which is why I do not treat our bees. Given that, why then did I remove the bees from their natural habitat and install them in a conventional bee hive? Had these bees not bee relocated, they would have starved and died over the winter because there were not sufficient stores of pollen or honey in the hive for them to make it. Now, they are in a bee box being fed, and their likelihood of survival is greatly increased. Thanks for watching. God's peace brother.
Mr. Ed
If they are happy in their home, then they don't want to leave. Now you can give them better digs but you will have to move them. I am like that now. No more moving. I am contented to live in my home. It is perfect for me. How are you and the missus enjoying your new home? God bless you all.
All is good at home, we are really enjoying each others company. God's peace JJ.
Mr. Ed
@@JeffHorchoff Well gee, I should think you would enjoy each other's company or you would have never married. God is going to make this one last. I hope you are prepared to live to 120 years. Then you and your better half will be married 50 years like my husband and I. We are married 52 years this November. Do you have kids who might take up your bee wrangling? God bless you.
Nice little saw - I use vegetable oil to lube mine and it works great..... We have shifted doing cut-outs until near dark because of robbing.
Ive never understood why you do them in daytime, really....nighttime makes much more sense, but im not a beekeeper.
@@RICDirector Crawlers are a pain - we like to start before dusk and finish at dark - getting all the flyers and avoid the robbing. We do have a red light for night work.
Bees are much, MUCH more aggressive at night or in a shaded hive. And you NEED light to see what you're doing.
Robbing during the derth is always a problem, I just work faster and cleaner. Love the vegetable oil to lube the chain, I will use that. God's peace Daniel.
Mr. Ed
@@JeffHorchoff Of course it will smell like popping popcorn as you saw . . . .
I wonder if the hive lasted that long because they rested the tree on cinder blocks? A log on the ground would get damp and rot, and more crawling insects would get directly in. Maybe keeping it dry and elevated prevented that?
A very good possibility, but whatever the reason for these bees to survive, I'm happy to have their genetics in our bee yards.

G'day mate I was just wondering does the queen bee sting as well and if so if she stings you does she die
G'day to you as well Bendan! The queen does have a stinger, but because it is curved it can't sting a person.

I was wondering about the bees getting vacuumed. Is it a gentle suction or is gentle too slow?
I have a lovely Christian friend who was very distressed watching them being sucked up.
She usually watches a lady who scoops them up in her hands.
Because the bee vac is designed NOT to harm bees because of it's low suction, the bees are not harmed. Removing bees by hand is a very good way of doing it, but even that way will result in the loss of some bees. I post these videos, to show just how important bees are to our very survival, and why we should not just kill them out of ignorance. I have been rescuing bees from being needlessly destroyed for over 12 years now, and hope to continue to do so for many more years to come.

Mr. Ed
What happens if you have too many robber bees
I would guess that they rob all of the honey and food stores and the "resident" bees would starve to death and the hive would understandably collapse. A healthy hive can defend itself against a few robber bees but not to the extent of the number that was in the cooler. And there were already hardly no food stores in that hive, it appeared, at least to my untrained and failing eyes.
@@jimjordan5630 where are they going to rob to if you take them miles away. They will be homeless won't they?
If to many robbers are vacuumed, they will continue to fight in the bee vac which is why I stop vacuuming after a certain point. A few robbers vacuumed makes no difference, they will join the hive. Thanks for watching. God's peace Leon.
Mr. Ed
We had a large colony of wild bees underneath the sink inside the house. How we could transfer it . Any suggestions, I appreciated it.

Mr. Ed
Use a screen bee trap (one way exit) and run them into an outside box with frames then go after the queen inside when most of the bees have left
A process that does work, but takes a long time. A bee vac can get it done in just a few hours. Thanks for watching. God's peace.
Mr. Ed
Having a variable-speed motor in a bee-vac machine is ideal. It is gentle to the bees, it is much quieter in operation. In addition to this, I believe that with a slower motor speed and gentle suction, that the battery will not discharge so quickly - you do not need to worry that the battery will be discharged before the bees have all been collected.
No smoke, no veil and a chainsaw....
Have to say, I paused it to make popcorn. You got stung up so Julio didn't have to?

Mr. Ed, what do you feed your bees, honey, sugar water or ?
You NEVER feed bees honey as a food source.
@@biggtrux I do. If it's from healthy bees from my hives. Never had a problem with it.

If you have an errant swarm or colony of honeybees, call a local beekeeper and they'll take care of the problem for you. It's a win-win situation.

Mr. Ed
Amazing how they adopted the situation, how ever in most primitive cultures they use horizontally hollow palm trees as beekeeping
Dude. That branch would have been in nearly the same position on the tree as it is on the ground, if that's in fact a LIMB. I understand you're a bee keeper and not an arborist but wow.
Not all limbs are horizontal. Most of my oak tree limbs are more vertical than horizontal though I do have some that are completely horizontal. The angle of the comb in the hollow as compared with the limb itself would indicate that this was the case here While not completely vertical it was much more vertical than horizontal. JS I hope that you have a great one.
It was a branch, or limb, from a VERY large water oak. Thanks for watching. God's peace Peter.
Mr. Ed
Why not leave them in the tree trunk? Move it somewhere else and leave them alone. Why does it have to belong to someone?
There are many philosophies on keeping bees, and "ownership" is one of them. However, I prefer the term "steward," and regard my role as one of assisting the bees to prosper on their terms and not force my idea of how bees should behave upon them, which is why I do not treat our bees.

Mr. Ed
I learned that the colder they are the more they consume ( from you, dirt rooster and a few other) any a hive is only 3/4 thick the log looks to be about 2 to 3 inches thick the colder they are I'm taught is the more they consume
👍👍👍
2 hours, without Charlie and Ralph! They'll be mad they missed out.
It's very rare for Charlie to miss one, but he had an appointment early in the morning that day and could not make it. Poor Ralph has a real job and can never make it during the week. Not to worry, you will be seeing them real soon. Thanks for watching. God's peace.

A propósito, eu posto um novo vídeo quase toda sexta-feira de manhã, e estou ansioso para ouvir de você novamente em breve. A paz de Deus irmão.

Honeybees don' care!
@12:16 - there is probably the best evidence for not laying comb down on it's side. Eventually, the wax smushes down and the comb layers can stick together. That looks like it may prevent bees from fully populating between the layers. Those pieces of comb sticking together is telling. Edit: @14:11 - you even talk about that exact thing.
It was an observation worth mentioning. God's peace.
Mr. Ed
@@JeffHorchoff Your bee knowledge and advice is always vindicated which is why I like to watch. One cannot get a better visual training tool than seeing the results of not heeding your advice.
Hello, I am Ali from Iraq. I would like you to write what you say in a comment here so that we can translate what you say .. Thank you
Hello Ali, thank you so much for taking the time to watch the video and leave your comment. I really do not understand how to make my videos translated into other languages, hopefully one day it will be explained to me and I can make it happen for everyone like you. God's peace my brother.
Mr. Ed
Did you use the Flir on that one? Looks like you knew exactly where to cut
I did not use the Flir but guessed, and fortunately, made another good guess. Thanks for watching. God's peace.
Mr. Ed
Oke mantap
Saya memposting video ini, untuk menunjukkan betapa pentingnya lebah bagi kelangsungan hidup kita, dan mengapa kita tidak boleh membunuh mereka begitu saja karena ketidaktahuan. Saya telah menyelamatkan lebah dari kehancuran yang tidak perlu selama lebih dari 12 tahun sekarang, dan berharap untuk terus melakukannya selama bertahun-tahun yang akan datang. Terima kasih telah menonton, dan saya harap Anda akan melihat lebih dari 500 video petualangan pertengkaran lebah/penyelamatan lebah saya dan beri tahu saya pendapat Anda tentang video tersebut. Omong-omong, saya memposting video baru hampir setiap Jumat pagi, dan saya berharap dapat mendengar kabar dari Anda lagi segera. Damai Tuhan

why don't you leave them alone? you don't need them :(
Whenever I do a removal it is at the request of a homeowner, and every homeowner that has asked me to remove bees it is because they do not want them on their property for whatever reason. I have suggested on several removals to leave the bees alone as they were not endangering anyone where they were, but so far, only 2 have agreed to letting the bees stay. 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 brother.
Mr. Ed
Maybe it could've been a starter colony that just got going and when the tree fell they just made new stuff
I really can't say for sure, but for sure they are going to make it in the hive I set them up in. God's peace Eric.
Mr. Ed
@@JeffHorchoff oh they will be liven in the Hilton now haha
Comb doesn't look that healthy either
It was not, but now that I have added 6 frames of nicely drawn out comb, they have lots of it. 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 Simon.
Mr. Ed
Where’s Good Time Charlie
I guess he was off having a good time! 😂. JK. Have a great day!
He had an early doctors appointment that day. God's peace Larry.
Mr. Ed
panic
i would panic
A very common response, but as a beekeeper, my heart just races with excitement. I post these videos, to show just how important bees are to our very survival, and why we should not just kill them out of ignorance. I have been rescuing bees from being needlessly destroyed for over 12 years now, and hope to continue to do so for many more years to come. 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.
Mr. Ed
@@JeffHorchoff I always love watching your content and it makes me smile seeing you smile with your passion in beekeeping. God bless you and have a wonderful day
Come on!! Seriously?! Im surprised that just because it is chilly you didnt think they would defend themselves? You should have smoked them as well.. IMO
I'm old and VERY forgetful, it's the only excuse I have. God's peace Joel.
Mr. Ed
@@JeffHorchoff Forgive me for any unintended offense. I am fascinated by bee keeping and am considering starting. God bless you for you videos. They have been educational.
Hello video của bạn chia sẻ rất hay
Tôi đăng những video này để cho thấy tầm quan trọng của loài ong đối với sự sống còn của chúng ta và tại sao chúng ta không nên giết chúng vì thiếu hiểu biết. Tôi đã cứu những con ong khỏi bị tiêu diệt một cách vô ích trong hơn 12 năm nay và hy vọng sẽ tiếp tục làm như vậy trong nhiều năm nữa. Cảm ơn bạn đã xem và tôi hy vọng bạn sẽ xem thêm trong số hơn 500 video phiêu lưu giải cứu ong/quần ong của tôi và cho tôi biết suy nghĩ của bạn về chúng. Nhân tiện, tôi đăng một video mới vào hầu hết các sáng thứ Sáu hàng tuần và tôi mong sớm nhận được phản hồi từ bạn. Chúa bình an.
Ông Ed
These are what are called "MARINE BEES", .... they "Improvise, Adapt, and Overcome!" 🤪🤣👍👍🇺🇸
And they don't mind getting up early to whop some butt.....or at least sting it a bunch. God's peace Terry.
Mr. Ed
I was just looking last night at those tiny chainsaws. It does much better than I thought! What brand and size is yours, Jeff?
There are a lot of them out there on the market now. I plan on getting a battery powered DeWalt version with a longer bar since I already have a supply of DeWalt tools and backup batteries to power it.
The one I use is from Amazon, here is the info on it:
Mini Chainsaw, Upgraded Safety Lock 6-Inch Mini Electric Chainsaw Cordless 2 Batteries 2 Chains 5 x 2000mAh Handheld Chainsaw, Portable Battery Operated Chainsaw for Trees, Branch Woods(With Tool Box)
Hope that is helpful. God's peace.
Mr. Ed
@@JeffHorchoff Bought it, thanks! I have B&D alligator loppers, but they require 2 hands, and sometimes you need the 2nd hand.
I love it when my fridays start with a “thank You Jesus”
