I always come back and check on hives I have removed a few days later, if nothing else but to release the queen. These days, I like going back in and removing the rubber bands if the comb is secured by then. Unfortunately, once again, I had a small mishap and one section did break away. And for those who are really paying attention, you will notice when I placed it back in the frame, I did it incorrectly. Two mistakes on the same video. Well, mistakes are part of beekeeping, but hopefully we can learn from them and not repeat them in the future.
It's been almost 2 months since this hive was removed from Jack and Sue's beautiful home in Mandeville and I'm happy to report they are doing great. I expect no problems with these bees getting through the winter, and I look forward to splitting them in the Spring. Thanks for watching. God's peace to all.
Mr. Ed
Link to the video where I removed these bees from a house:

What a peaceful bunch of bees even after being catapulted across the yard with snapping rubber bands. ;)
You would not know about peaceful bees because of the deplorable condition you keep them housed in. Bees really do care about the house they live in, and it shows in their disposition. Maybe you should invest in some new equipment and see for yourself how enjoyable it is to work with happy bees. Nothing but love brother, God's peace always.
Mr. Ed
@@JeffHorchoff OOOOHHH that cut deep! Got me so upset I threw away two boxes and a lid and they only had a couple of holes in them.
It must be Friday. Mug up from NH where the sun is coming up and it's 24 F and breezy. The Abbey is sure a beautiful place. Thanks for posting, happy holidays!
24 degrees, man that's coooold! Stay warm brother. God's peace Brice.
Mr. Ed
I've got to say, seeing the opening shots of that field of goldenrod are making my sinuses ache!!! ;)
You are not alone with the feeling, but you have to agree it is a beautiful shot. Thanks for watching. God's peace.
Mr. Ed
Good morning Mr. Ed, we had 57* last week so I took a peek to check the girls. They are eating well and they’re looking strong. Thank you Jesus! Gods peace Brother.
They really are calm. Couldn't have cared less that you were messing around in the Hive.
These are very gentle bees and I'm happy to have their genetics here at the abbey. Thank you so much for your support and for following along with all my bee wrangling adventures Phil, it is very much appreciated. God's peace brother.
Mr. Ed
When I read your title where it said 'How did the bee adjust' the 1st thing that came to mind was the old joke about where it said 'How long is a freight train; true or false'. I think you might've missed an 'S' there, Palley and I heard Charley come over with his plane. Happy Jesus weekend to you and Mona and anybody and everybody else and God Bless Yall!
Great progress on those removal bees! Yes they are a calm group of girls to work with. Always love watching videos Mr Ed!! God Bless!!!!!!
When I am blessed with some great bees like these were, what a great asset they become to our apiary here at the abbey. I wish all the bees I rescued were as calm and productive as these girls are. Thank you so much for your blessings and support of my channel Phil, your consideration is gratefully appreciated. Until the next one, God's peace brother.
Mr. Ed
That is one well attended queen. That hive looks well settled. Enjoyed the video. Have a great Christmas. God bless.
Merry Christmas to you as well Garry. See you guys in a few weeks. God's peace brother.
Mr. Ed
Good morning Mr Ed. I hope you and the brothers are enjoying this beautiful freat day of St Lucy.
Being a truck driver, you should bee asking for her intercessions for keen eyesight while driving, there are just so many dangers to be aware of while you are working. Be safe Shawn, God's peace brother.
Mr. Ed
@@JeffHorchoff very true my friend.
thanks for caring and sharing
I'm delighted to share my joys in beekeeping. Thank you so much for your support Nancy. God's peace.
Mr. Ed
You have a wonderful group of girls there Mr. Ed. Thanks for sharing their progress 🐝✌️💜🌼🍯
You set your trap, say your prayers and catch a swarm. Can we also add plant a whole bunch of Golden Rod to that? What was the score between you and Rooster? Who Won? I have been watchng loads of your videos as always but not kept up on the score lol I am gutted because I lost my records but it was around 30 this side of the pond lol no where near as many as y'all get haha Roll on the 2024 Swarm Championships. way better then baseball haha Hope you have an awesome weekend :)
As of today, we are tied at 22 apiece. Still a few days left before the end, and anything can happen. Thanks for watching. God's peace.
Mr. Ed
You do take good care of those bees Jeff. You never stop working. It seems that this is a full time job. A good hive means lots of wax and honey. God bless you. Have a blessed weekend.
Awesomeness 😊
Bees truly are awesome, a real testimony to the greatness of our Creator. Thanks for watching. God's peace Doris.
Mr. Ed

Mr. Ed

I am blessed real good every day of my life, thank you Jesus! God's peace Evan.
Mr. Ed
You have yourself another fine flock of late season bees getting all set up for whatever you have for a winter down in your area Mr. Ed!! Do you ever do any winter videos of their behavior? -Bob...
Generally, the only "winter bee videos" I make are removal videos. As unbelievable as it may seem, December through April are the best time to do removals...at least down here. Thanks for watching. God's peace Bob.
Mr. Ed
@@JeffHorchoff Thank you for producing another fine bee video Mr. Ed!
Jeff, thank you for mentioning the size of the rubber bands.
Merry Christmas!
Edit: when the comb fell out did you notice that it was rotated 90° when it was put back in?
Good eye David, I mentioned that in the description and you are the first to comment on it. Thanks for watching. Until the next one, God's peace brother.
Mr. Ed
@@Jackflash219 the light band was up and horizontal when it fell out and then it was vertical and on the left. Also I noticed Jeff struggled to put the comb back in the frame indicating that it hadn't come out that way.
Love the goldenrod
Enjoy it brother, and thank you so much for your support. God's peace Larry.
Mr. Ed
Good update, Mr Ed 👍👏😊🙏
Jeff thank you for another great video. Always enjoy them
Thanks Jeff!!!

In the UK we have temperatures over 10/12c + 50f bee's flying and eating store
Happy for you and your bees! Thanks for watching. God's peace.
Mr. Ed
Good morning Mr. Ed! Always nice seeing your videos. Thanks for sharing your progress. Happy Holidays ❤

Accidental sling shot o' bees
Accidents happen...even when I take my time. God's peace brother.
Mr. Ed
What a lovely hive do they move the wax to secure the comb or is it new wax
It's both. I have seen new wax as well as old wax securing the comb. Thanks for watching. God's peace Paul.
Mr. Ed
Question. Why are you keeping the queen locked up after moving the bees into the box?
The main reason is for the bees to acclimate to the new hive. With the queen caged, they are most likely, but not always, to remain in the new location getting the comb repaired and prepared for the queen to be released and start laying again. Thanks so much for your support and for watching Dario. God's peace brother.
Mr. Ed
Hey Mr Ed, tell me more about the rubber bands you are using. They seem to hold up under the strain and ware. Thanks Bill
I use a 7 inch X 1/8 inch rubber band I buy off of Amazon. They come in a box of about 200 for about 10 bucks a box. Thanks for watching. God's peace Bill.
Mr. Ed

Hey Mr Ed Merry Christmas
Thank you Eric, and a very Merry Christmas to you and yours as well! Thanks for watching. God's peace brother.
Mr. Ed
Hey Jeff, could you do a video explaining what is, and how Royal Jelly happens?
I will put it on my "to do" list. Thank you for the suggestion and for watching. Until the next one, God's peace.
Mr. Ed
Hello that was sad that fell out like that. But you put it back in sideways. I hope you seen you did that & get it fixed.
It was a shame it fell out, I should have known better than to put that stress on the comb, but I did. That was really good you noticed I put the comb in sideways, I did go back in and correct it. Thanks for watching and being on top of things for me. Until the next one, God's peace.
Mr. Ed
woohoo, 25th to watch
You were up early, thanks so much for getting up early to watch it so soon. Until the next one, God's peace.
Mr. Ed
@@JeffHorchoff it is noon here, watching from europe
How far will bee's travel to fouridge for food?
I don't know the exact distance, but for sure several miles. Mostly however, they forage as close to their hive as possible. Thanks for watching. God's peace Steve.
Mr. Ed
What happens to the brood cells after the bees emerge?
The queen lays eggs in it again soon after brood leaves.
After the new bee cleans the cell she has emerges from the cell is either for another egg to be laid in or the storage of pollen or nectar. Thanks for watching. God's peace.
Mr. Ed
what is the purpose of the hole between the metal top and the wood on the frames? Just insulation/dead air space?
I use it to place feeders on, this way the bees never leave the hive to feed and this practice is very good to discourage robbing from the hive. The video link below shows how I do this. Thanks for watching. God's peace.

@@JeffHorchoff ohh okay. Thank you. :).
What size rubber bands do you use?
They are 7 inch X 1/8 inch rubber bands that I buy from Amazon. They come in a box of 200 and cost about 10 buck for a box of them. 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 Aaron.
Mr. Ed
Hi mr Edd
I think it's another month until the bees are even awake here! I suppose I need a beekeeper name.

Hey mr Ed!! I’m trying to find out the times you will be speaking at the expo ..can you help??
As of right now, I am not making a presentation other than my presence at the Expo. However, that could change. No matter what happens, I'll bee ready. See you there. God's peace Lynn.
Mr. Ed
I wish to ask why instead of leaving the Queen locked in a Queen cage for three days, donm't you put a small piece of Queen excluder in front of the opening so she can do her job , not leave and the workers can continue to work?
I see no reason why that would not work, however, my consideration is because these bees are stressed out enough from the removal, having an excluder to pass through instead of an unimpeded opening would give them one more thing to stress about. In my opinion, best to let one bee stress, the queen, and since she will be catered to while on lock down not much stress, than to let the majority of bees stress. Of course, this is just my opinion, and I am not advocating any particular way to do it. Thanks for watching. God's peace.
Mr. Ed
@@JeffHorchoff Thank u & God bless ualso. I will take this oppertunity to wish u the family & the brothers there a Merry Chr9i8stmas & a happy new year.

Mr. Ed
Sura 16: AN-NAHL (THE BEE) - Juz' 14 -
Your Lord revealed to the bee: 'Build your homes in the mountains, in the trees, and in what they are building. (68) Eat every kind of fruit, and follow the easy ways of your Lord. ' From its belly comes forth a drink (honey) of many hues in which there is healing for people. Surely, in this there is a sign for a nation who reflect. (69) Allah created you, and causes you to die. There are some of you who, after knowing something, will be kept back to the vilest state of life, knowing nothing. Allah is the Knowing, Powerful. (70) In your provisions Allah has preferred some of you above others. But, those who have been preferred do not give their provisions to those whom their right hand possess so that they might be equal therein. What, do they vainly disbelieve the favor of Allah? (71)
Beautiful words, as are so many in the Koran. 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
@@JeffHorchoff Thank you for your interest. Frankly, the world of bees fascinates me a lot. It is the first project that I will implement after retirement, God willing, and I will make the family estate the largest beekeeping farm in our region. I wish success to all those who practice beekeeping.
