Every year Mr. Ed and I have a swarm catching competition and it gets pretty heated sometimes. We are both competitive guys and we go all out to win. It's a fun thing but we do trash talk each other quite a bit which just adds to the fun of it all. So far he has won two years and I've won one year. This is out fourth year and I'm now in the lead.
A while back we made a "Swarm Catcher" shirt for those who want to participate. It is available on our website if you're interested.

What Jennifer did not tell you is she called me first and asked if I wanted this swarm. Because I know how crushed your fragile mental state would have been had I gotten the swarm, another year of defeat in the swarm competition, I asked her to call you and let you get the credit for the capture. She did an outstanding job about playing along making you think it was all on the up and up. Congratulations on the win this year, by one, and I owe you a Taco Bell dinner now. Great job Jennifer! God's peace brother.
Mr Ed, you are bad today.😂 We never really know who wins the swarm catch challenge because the comraderie for you two is tight.😊 Wish I was near your location and I'd buy you both a taco dinner for the informative and entertaining videos yall produce. God Bless you both.
Are your pants on fire yet 😂😂😂
@JeffHorchoff Mr Ed, since Jennifer played along with you I think you should buy her dinner too!
🤣🐝🤣🐝🤣🐝
Nice looking swarm! Looked like a giant strawberry!
It's a you-pick location
Man this deserves a UA-cam Oscar. The drama, the smack talk…but the camera work alone should win! Prettiest swarm I’ve ever seen.
What a pretty (and calm!) swarm! You make it look easy, Randy!
This one was a breeze. I barely broke a sweat out there on and 85 degree night with 60 percent humidity. ;)
And just like that.... They in the box!
Thanks for sharing and God bless.
Tadaaa! :)
So fun and the trash talk is what spices it up!!
Love me some good trash talk.
My husband was looking through your videos to find one to watch and he saw this one come up with 0 views we quickly click on it to watch, to be the first..lol ( we watch on our TV) I went to my phone to read the details and comment. And by the time your video was over you were at 63 views on tv. Lol seconds later it flipped over 100. Great video. Congratulations on the lead. Love how unpredictable bees can be. The Bee's prove that God created this big ole world.
Thanks for all your awesome videos.
Gotta be quick if you want to be first. haha
That was beautiful, both the swarm and how easily it went.
Nice job Randy!!!!
Hard to mess that softball catch up.
You two guys. Always funny. God bless you guys.
I love the love you guys have for each other. You and me. Ed.
Yup, these guys are awesome. Mr Ed is quite possibly the kindest human on the planet. Smack talking him just makes me smile :D
Mr. Ed is just easy to love.
@@628DirtRooster the rooster replied to me! Iconic!
You and Mr. Eddie competition about swarm catching is humor in its own right. Keep it going
At least another year.
Gorgeous. Just gorgeous. Nicely done,but Ida nipped the branch, laid it in gently and so forth,but im chicken. 😁🤣🥰🤗
Haha
Easy bundle of Bees. I like that the Queen got an earned name too.
Maybe we can locate her and add her to another video.
I think that was a great looking pine cone!
If they were all that easy...
Those bees are like: "Dude, that earthquake built us a house. Wtf?"
Like that movie Jumper. Everything vibrates and suddenly you're transported to a new location.
Great job! That’s a lot of bees! I’m glad you got them!
Well worth the effort
I saw a couple of roaches run into the box as well. They must have received the "smack down" of a lifetime from the bees! 🐝
I'm sure a message was sent.
That did look like a pine cone lol.
Had just as many spikes on it too.
Nice n easy! Thanks Randy 😊 ♥️ 🐝 ♥️
You bet!
That is a beautiful swarm Randy. I was surprised at how docile they were even after you shook them into the box.😳 Great job on getting them!! I am new to the channel and I love watching you and all your buddies when you get together. I am learning a lot from all of you. Thanks for all you do to help others learn about bees and beekeeping. I find it very interesting and enjoyable to watch. Happy New Year to you and your family….Rick
That was a nice easy swarm to pick up. I thought you liked them hiding behind dry wall .all the best from devon
It's more of a surprise when you open a wall.
Yes l bet it is. I'm a beekeeper and carpenter but I've never had to take bees out of a wall before. Looks like you have a good laugh with your mate's doing cut outs
I need to get in on y’all’s competition. I know I got at least 20. I stopped counting.. good swarm!! I hope Jen is coming to Slidell in Sept, I miss seeing y’all.
I was planning on it but my good friends are getting married that weekend
Excuses...
It's never over. 😆
December 31st is usually when I call it.
Thank you!
Welcome!
Congratulations Randy well done
Thank you kindly
Awesome looking swarm!
It was a softball catch. haha
That was so cool!
Thank you
I so enjoy the swarm comp!!
Me too :)
Looked like a big brown strawberry!
It was the right shape
Good to see a swarm capture that is easy and fun! :>)
Yes it was!
Another great video
I appreciate that
Nice one! And easy too!
Indeed!
Looks like it's part of the tree!
It was becoming one with the leaves.
That’s the one I’d like to win on. Congrats Randy.
Do it man! :)
They sound really good
No stings :)
What a beautifully shaped swarm of honey makers! Does it ever get any easier to capture a swarm like that other than to simply back under it, lower them in, and shake them into their new home? -Bob...
Eventually I'll perfect a method where I don't even have to get out of the truck. Just snag them like a repo man.
@@628DirtRooster Randy, that sounds to me as though you have just issued a challenge throughout the bee keeping community! Is Mr. Ed aware of your most recent challenge, beyond the most swarms harvested?
@@wranther No, I like to keep him in the dark as long as possible.
@@628DirtRooster I have long believed that one of the best ways to keep something a secret is to put it on a youtube blast!! lol
One up on ol’mr Ed !!!👍👍👀way to randy
Keeping him on his toes.
@@628DirtRooster 🤠
I'd love to find an easy one like this one! My only shot at getting one this year was 30 ft up in a tree.
Time for some climbing gear. lol
You need to start a competition with who has gotten the easiest and who gets the hardest swarm catch
Oh, that's easy. He gets all the easy ones.
Queen Magnolia, long may she reign! 😊
Five seasons :)
@@628DirtRooster 😁
I love the southern magnolia!
It's a beautiful tree and our state flower
HOLY COW!!! what a massive swarm ❤❤❤
They've been eating healthy
I almost did it that way.
perfect
Easy pickings
that was truely an awesome sight, easy peasy. (Angry Beaver)
That's about as easy as they get.
I wouldn't let them fly. Never give up😂😂😂
No way I'd let any of them fly.
Big as that swarm is, they’ll have those frames drawn out in a week!
They sure could
I want to go hang with you guys and learn about bee keeping. I live close and will work for free well. For experience and education
Galactica! LOL
OH now you gonna get him worked up. lol
It didn't take but a minute. He was on the comments section about a minute behind you.
Don’t blame you. Mr. Ed may get lucky knowing how lucky he is. Lol
I'd be surprised if he doesn't catch another one soon.
Too Funny 😂
Keeping Mr. Ed going by getting under his skin.
Hey Rooster 🐓
How you been Randle?
THAT was a beautiful swarm! Too bad, Mr. Ed😅
While Jeff was snoozing, we were pulling ahead.
What's that a big raspberry to Mr Ed
haha
That's the end of the swarm...as we know it? (That's what I was going to write before I read the title properly. Still did it tho.) Guess for this swarm it's only the beginning
And I feel fine :)
Does Jennifer have a youtube channel?
No but she had a TikTok. It’s Jennifer King or @kings4411
Im sure Mr Ed has 2 cameras running at different angles to claim 2 vids…..😂
Plus Charlie is on one.
Easiest swarm ever!
