Jeff, I had the NY Bee Inspector yesterday give my hive a clean bill of health and a 0 mite count. Thank you Jesus. And, an extra bonus, full capped Queen cell with 2 others charged so he helped me make my 1st split. I now have 2 hives with awesome genetics. The biggest blessing yesterday was my wife’s blood work was negative after fear 6 months ago that her cancer returned. God blessed me more than I deserve yesterday. Your videos have really helped with bee keeping and the positivity they give. Have a blessed day.
Are you the same gentleman who came to the Mandeville library in the 1990s to talk about your bee keeping to the children, and handed out beeswax and straws of honey to them? If so, we still talk about that experience and we still have the beeswax also. It was the best show and tell ever.
Yes I am, and I am now keeping the bees for the monks at St. Joseph Abbey in Covington. I do remember going to the library on Girod St. and making a presentation. Thank you for jogging my memory on that one and for remembering the occasion. 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 Judith. Mr. Ed
Mona did a fantastic job on it, and I'm so proud to have it hanging in my office at the abbey. 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 Patrick. Mr. Ed
As good as the honey you sent me was, I'm tempted, but it's just a bit to far to travel. Thanks so much for the invite and for watching. Until the next one, God's peace brother. Mr. Ed
24:34 "now according to osha we're supposed to have these doors closed to prevent people from putting their hand in there" i know it can be accidental to put a hand in there but who would purposely do that!! i love these videos so much, a laugh and subscription from me. amazing videos keep up the amazing work homie.
Personally, it would be terrifying to put my hand into the spinning basket, besides, honey and blood are probably and a good combination. Thank you so much for subbing to the channel, the kind words, and for taking the time to watch the video, it is all greatly appreciated. Looking forward to hearing from you again on more of my adventures, and remember, I post a brand new video every Friday. Till the next one, God's peace brother. Mr. Ed
You are very welcome, and thank you for your dedication to my channel and for all the time you spend watching my bee wrangling adventures. Until the next one, God's peace Todd. Mr. Ed
I feel the exact same way! Mona has created a wonderful work of art and I am so happy to have it displayed in my office at the abbey. When I read your comment to her she was all smiles. Thank you for that and for taking the time to watch the video. God's peace Bernard. Mr. Ed
Really nice set up, Lord Jesus has definitely blessed you, your one of the few I learn from that acknowledges God's faithfulness. He has surely blessed my bees this year, artic blast in December got our fruit tree buds, but God blessed other pollinators including my buckwheat and sunflowers. Also got one of John's 18frame extractor, works great and has awesome warranty
God is good, and I thank Him each day for the graces He bestows upon me. You have a very good extractor. Thanks for watching. God's peace Scott. Mr. Ed
As disappointing as the harvest's size was, it still was a joy sharing the experience with everyone. Thank you so much for your continued support for my bee wrangling adventures. God's peace. Mr. Ed
Mona's work outshines it all, and I'm so proud to have it hanging in my office at the abbey. Thank you for your kind words and for taking the time to watch the video. God's peace Paulette. Mr. Ed
That is ONE BEAUTIFUL quilt. She is a gifted seamstress. To do a quilt like this takes a lot of time to get it just right. This is wonderful. I cannot be there to sign the quilt. Just put the love in it to the hexagon. You can sign JJ for me. The BEE is so cute. Mona is a true artist.
@@JeffHorchoff I know she does not like being on camera. Neither do I. I am usually the one taking the pics. But when this hand shaking came on I can barely take a straight pic anymore. I shake so bad on bad days I cannot even butter my bread. On good days I can still take a straight pic. I hope you two find the joy that Mike and I have found. This November we will have been married 53 years. We have one great granddaughter. That is a new thrill. God bless you both.
Everyone misses Ralph, and it's alway so good when he can join us on a video. I'll let Mona know what you said about her quilt, it will make her day. Thank you for your blessings and for all the time you spend watching our videos. God's peace Lewie. Mr. Ed
@@JeffHorchoff Ralph is one of my heroes and there's a PILE of Mona work in that quilt. Yall get what you put into the videos and Gods Peace goes without saying! Happy week!

Nice, that quilt is beautiful and alot of work, I am also a quilter and most really don't know how much work goes into making one Honey video is great too also alot of work. But if you love what you do it never feels like work feels like joy.
Since I see how much work and time Mona puts into every one of the quilts she makes, I can testify it's a long, drawn out process. Simply to come up with a design and then see that design through is just an incredible amount of creativity. Mona has created a wonderful work of art on this quilt, and I am so happy to have it displayed in my office at the abbey. When I read your comment to her she was all smiles. Thank you for that and for taking the time to watch the video. God's peace Karen. Mr. Ed

The quilt Mona made for me is a real work of art, as is every one she makes is, and I'm honored to have it hanging in my office at the Abbey. Also, standing in the midst of all those bees as they are cleaning up the honey supers is what beekeeping is all about for me.

Wow... just WOW! I'm happy with a pound of honey and love buying honey from my local beekeeper. But 1000 lbs...Wow. I can't get enough of all the beekeepers, so amazing. The quilt is over the top. I sew but not at that level. You are truly blessed.
I am truly blessed, a talented, beautiful wife who loves me, and bees that just want to make honey for us. Thank you so much for your kind words and for taking the time to follow along with my bee wrangling adventures. Until the net one, God's peace Jacki. Mr. Ed

Such an amazing operation. Thank you for sharing with us. I never considered bee keeping but recently I was blessed with a swarm of bees and I was fascinated by them.

Jeff, loved the video! We are modeling our extraction line similar to yours. We have a 60 frame Hubbard with an auger pump at the bottom. Pumping the honey slurry directly into drums on caddies. We use a DIY hot motorize uncapping knife (there are plans for an upgrade as funds allow). Pumping directly into barrels and letting gravity settle the honey has removed our biggest bottleneck during the extraction process. Just wanted you to know how much your videos mean to folks like us. I hope to one day visit the Abbey and the Apiary. Thank you and God Bless!
Your operation sounds wonderful, and I know you must bee very proud of it. I certainly hope that you will be able to make a visit here and see our operation one day, that would be awesome. You can reach me at: oscelata@gmail.com if you have other questions or get in touch before your visit. God's peace brother. Mr. Ed
Thank you Jesus for the blessing of good friends and the help they lend. The quilt is beautiful and I still wish the logo was a honey bee and not a yellow jacket. Thanks Jeff.
Love the quilt. Beeeautiful work of art. Miss your Mama. My son recently moved to your area. He is happy to be on the north shore. I was stationed in NOLA thirty years ago and he is now serving at the same unit on the Lake Shore. Many good memories of LA.and Lake Pontchartrain. Enjoy all your videos. I’ll be checking my hives tomorrow.
The quilt is truly a work of art, and I'm so proud to have it hanging in my office at the abbey. Mona is a very talented artist and she continues making quilts for us. I was born in New Orleans, but as my dad was in the Air Force, we were stationed all over the country and in the Canal Zone. In '69 he retired and we moved back to New Orleans where we lived by City Park. In '78 I moved to Mandeville, and have lived on the North Shore since.

I received a hand made quilt from a friend . What a special gift it is. So much work and love goes into the making , just like the love you put into the bees . Thank you for the great videos .
There's a story behind every quilt that has ever been made made, and the common thread that runs in them all is love. To receive one is to receive the love from the maker. Like myself, you are a blessed man. So happy to hear you enjoy watching, thank you so much for doing so. God's peace Steve. Mr. Ed

Thank You for a beautiful honey processing tour Mr. Ed! No matter the size of the box count, the resulting honey appears to be the reward of itself. Lot of work goes into the process and you have a fine crew to lessen your burden. Great ending with the closer look at your wall hanging quilt so expertly put together. All that time, all that labor, that is clearly a labor of love! Hope you and your crew have a wonderful weekend! -Bob...
My wife Mona is such a talented artist, and if you check out the video link below you will see how her creativity decorated the interior of our honey house including another quilt.

The quilt Mona made for me is a real work of art, as is every one she makes is, and I'm honored to have it hanging in my office at the Abbey.

If you used a steamer the clean up would be so much quicker and less overspray. Additionally, everything would be sterilized. Great system, and looks so fun. Bet it smells wonderful.
The problem with using steam, or even hot water, and I used that initially, was the amount of moisture it put into the building. Because moisture has a way of finding it's way into our honey, I avoid any means to allow that to happen. As far as overspray, because there is a troff running down the center of the building to capture any and all water, overspray is not an issue. Still, thank you for your suggestion and for watching, it is greatly appreciated. Also, 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 Joy. Mr. Ed

Amazing and informative video - you have organized everything very well for quite the operation! I like how you have the used frames in boxes on dollies and staggered the stack so the bees could do cleanup! The quilt is magnificent! Thank you.
I have been refining the process of harvesting our honey for almost 9 years now, and I am very comfortable with the way we are doing it now. Happy to hear you are in concurrence with our approach.

Mona is truly talented. So many skills on one quilt. When you said Mona had been working on it for ages, I assumed you were going to say years not months!! You have no idea how much work has gone into that quilt until you have tried it. All kinds of harvests seem to have been low this year. Better results next time hopefully.

Hi from Sydney Australia 🇦🇺. It's winter here atm.We have had a shortage of rain 🌧 this winter. Australia is suffering from varroa mite, a killer of the European honeybee, was detected outside an eradication zone in the Hunter Valley. This is so devastating the government is making a lot of bee keepers burn the hives even without evidence of the Varroa might, and it is so sad. I ❤ your channel. You care for the bees 🐝 in more ways than one.
Hello Kiren, and thank you for leaving your comment on this video, and taking your time to watch it as well. It is a sad state of affairs when government agencies act with no reason for their actions, or operate under misrepresentation of the truth. I'm very sorry to hear beekeepers in Australia are experiencing that. God's peace brother. Mr. Ed

I only use cold water with no cleansing chemicals as I do not want any residual traces left on the machinery to mix with honey. It is a real pleasure to sit among all the bees as they clean up the honey boxes.

And, an extra bonus, full capped Queen cell with 2 others charged so he helped me make my 1st split. I now have 2 hives with awesome genetics. The biggest blessing yesterday was my wife’s blood work was negative after fear 6 months ago that her cancer returned. God blessed me more than I deserve yesterday.

Great news for you! So nice to hear positivity.
Prayers for your wife's continued good health 🙏

As Mr Ed says “Thank You Jesus” for the negative results!
🙏 for all that need them and for us that are blessed
That was a perfect frame of honey
I'll hand your gift over to Mona, she deserves it for the work she did on the quilt. Thank you Larry, God's peace brother.
Mr. Ed
Are you the same gentleman who came to the Mandeville library in the 1990s to talk about your bee keeping to the children, and handed out beeswax and straws of honey to them? If so, we still talk about that experience and we still have the beeswax also. It was the best show and tell ever.
Yes I am, and I am now keeping the bees for the monks at St. Joseph Abbey in Covington. I do remember going to the library on Girod St. and making a presentation. Thank you for jogging my memory on that one and for remembering the occasion. 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 Judith.
Mr. Ed
Once I had the honour to visit the Buckfast abbey in England, but that was in the seventies. Nowadays you’re on my bucket list.
I look forward to the day of your visit. Thanks so much for all the time you spend watching, it is greatly appreciated. God's peace Benjamin.
Mr. Ed
That's a real nice quote lots of cool stuff on it
Mona did a fantastic job on it, and I'm so proud to have it hanging in my office at the abbey. 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 Patrick.
Mr. Ed
come to me sir not to late to put out bees here. sweet clover is coming on awesome!!! my place will always be open to you and the abbeys bees,
As good as the honey you sent me was, I'm tempted, but it's just a bit to far to travel. Thanks so much for the invite and for watching. Until the next one, God's peace brother.
Mr. Ed
24:34 "now according to osha we're supposed to have these doors closed to prevent people from putting their hand in there" i know it can be accidental to put a hand in there but who would purposely do that!! i love these videos so much, a laugh and subscription from me. amazing videos keep up the amazing work homie.
Personally, it would be terrifying to put my hand into the spinning basket, besides, honey and blood are probably and a good combination. Thank you so much for subbing to the channel, the kind words, and for taking the time to watch the video, it is all greatly appreciated. Looking forward to hearing from you again on more of my adventures, and remember, I post a brand new video every Friday. Till the next one, God's peace brother.
Mr. Ed
Wow Mr Ed I had to think why all the bees are there but I think they were cleaning up the boxes god bless guys
Thank you Jeff and I’m still watching!!😅
You are very welcome, and thank you for your dedication to my channel and for all the time you spend watching my bee wrangling adventures. Until the next one, God's peace Todd.

Long time viewer. 1st time commenting😅❤ Just wanted to pop in and say THANK YOU for everything you do! Truly!! You're the best!!
Thank you Jess, it was my pleasure to send the honey.Tell your dad Happy Birthday for me. God's peace.
Mr. Ed
Thanks for the moth info! I learned sumpin new!!! Blessings to you and yours💜💜💜🙏🙏🙏
Really nice set up, Lord Jesus has definitely blessed you, your one of the few I learn from that acknowledges God's faithfulness. He has surely blessed my bees this year, artic blast in December got our fruit tree buds, but God blessed other pollinators including my buckwheat and sunflowers. Also got one of John's 18frame extractor, works great and has awesome warranty
God is good, and I thank Him each day for the graces He bestows upon me. You have a very good extractor. Thanks for watching. God's peace Scott.
Mr. Ed
Hello from Boise, Idaho, this is my third year watching your honey harvest.
God bless you !
As disappointing as the harvest's size was, it still was a joy sharing the experience with everyone. Thank you so much for your continued support for my bee wrangling adventures. God's peace.
Mr. Ed
great honey video, and wonderful bee quilt
Mona's work outshines it all, and I'm so proud to have it hanging in my office at the abbey. Thank you for your kind words and for taking the time to watch the video. God's peace Paulette.
Mr. Ed
It is past 10pm here at night but I will sit up lol need rum and chips. Lol😂 ya talked me into it.
That is ONE BEAUTIFUL quilt. She is a gifted seamstress. To do a quilt like this takes a lot of time to get it just right. This is wonderful. I cannot be there to sign the quilt. Just put the love in it to the hexagon. You can sign JJ for me. The BEE is so cute. Mona is a true artist.
JJ, I just read Mona your comment, and she is smiling ear to ear. You made her day. God's peace always.
Mr. Ed
@@JeffHorchoff I know she does not like being on camera. Neither do I. I am usually the one taking the pics. But when this hand shaking came on I can barely take a straight pic anymore. I shake so bad on bad days I cannot even butter my bread. On good days I can still take a straight pic. I hope you two find the joy that Mike and I have found. This November we will have been married 53 years. We have one great granddaughter. That is a new thrill. God bless you both.
Mona did a SUPER job and glad you had Ralph for the Fab-4 again! Happy weekend, Gods Peace and honey to yall!
Everyone misses Ralph, and it's alway so good when he can join us on a video. I'll let Mona know what you said about her quilt, it will make her day. Thank you for your blessings and for all the time you spend watching our videos. God's peace Lewie.

Awesome as per usual video Jeff!
Nice, that quilt is beautiful and alot of work, I am also a quilter and most really don't know how much work goes into making one
Honey video is great too also alot of work. But if you love what you do it never feels like work feels like joy.
Since I see how much work and time Mona puts into every one of the quilts she makes, I can testify it's a long, drawn out process. Simply to come up with a design and then see that design through is just an incredible amount of creativity. Mona has created a wonderful work of art on this quilt, and I am so happy to have it displayed in my office at the abbey. When I read your comment to her she was all smiles. Thank you for that and for taking the time to watch the video. God's peace Karen.

Gleaning the gifts from you bees. Awesome!
The honey harvest was smaller than usual however it’s such a special thing to watch. Just magical! Thank you for sharing natures bounty!
Looks like a frame of floro honey on the wall, fantastic work/ seamstress & art, thanks for sharing...

My favorite parts were the bees and the 100% awesome quilt!!!
The quilt Mona made for me is a real work of art, as is every one she makes is, and I'm honored to have it hanging in my office at the Abbey.

Wow... just WOW! I'm happy with a pound of honey and love buying honey from my local beekeeper. But 1000 lbs...Wow. I can't get enough of all the beekeepers, so amazing. The quilt is over the top. I sew but not at that level. You are truly blessed.
I am truly blessed, a talented, beautiful wife who loves me, and bees that just want to make honey for us. Thank you so much for your kind words and for taking the time to follow along with my bee wrangling adventures. Until the net one, God's peace Jacki.

Such an amazing operation. Thank you for sharing with us. I never considered bee keeping but recently I was blessed with a swarm of bees and I was fascinated by them.

Mr. Ed
Jeff, loved the video! We are modeling our extraction line similar to yours. We have a 60 frame Hubbard with an auger pump at the bottom. Pumping the honey slurry directly into drums on caddies. We use a DIY hot motorize uncapping knife (there are plans for an upgrade as funds allow). Pumping directly into barrels and letting gravity settle the honey has removed our biggest bottleneck during the extraction process. Just wanted you to know how much your videos mean to folks like us. I hope to one day visit the Abbey and the Apiary. Thank you and God Bless!
Your operation sounds wonderful, and I know you must bee very proud of it. I certainly hope that you will be able to make a visit here and see our operation one day, that would be awesome. You can reach me at: oscelata@gmail.com
if you have other questions or get in touch before your visit. God's peace brother.
Mr. Ed
Thank you Jesus for the blessing of good friends and the help they lend. The quilt is beautiful and I still wish the logo was a honey bee and not a yellow jacket. Thanks Jeff.
The original logo did look like a yellow jacket, but Mona has adjusted it to look more and more like a real honey bee. God's peace Cheryl.
Well, I didn't really notice that. 😊 It is still beautiful 😍
I agree Bruce, it is a beautiful work of art.
Love the quilt. Beeeautiful work of art. Miss your Mama. My son recently moved to your area. He is happy to be on the north shore. I was stationed in NOLA thirty years ago and he is now serving at the same unit on the Lake Shore. Many good memories of LA.and Lake Pontchartrain. Enjoy all your videos. I’ll be checking my hives tomorrow.
The quilt is truly a work of art, and I'm so proud to have it hanging in my office at the abbey. Mona is a very talented artist and she continues making quilts for us. I was born in New Orleans, but as my dad was in the Air Force, we were stationed all over the country and in the Canal Zone. In '69 he retired and we moved back to New Orleans where we lived by City Park. In '78 I moved to Mandeville, and have lived on the North Shore since.

I received a hand made quilt from a friend . What a special gift it is. So much work and love goes into the making , just like the love you put into the bees . Thank you for the great videos .
There's a story behind every quilt that has ever been made made, and the common thread that runs in them all is love. To receive one is to receive the love from the maker. Like myself, you are a blessed man. So happy to hear you enjoy watching, thank you so much for doing so. God's peace Steve.

Thank You for a beautiful honey processing tour Mr. Ed! No matter the size of the box count, the resulting honey appears to be the reward of itself. Lot of work goes into the process and you have a fine crew to lessen your burden. Great ending with the closer look at your wall hanging quilt so expertly put together. All that time, all that labor, that is clearly a labor of love! Hope you and your crew have a wonderful weekend! -Bob...

By the way, I post a new video every Friday morning, and I look forward to hearing from you again soon. God's peace.

Miss Mona is so talented….can’t wait till she gets a channel up and running. You are blessed Jeff!! God Bless the entire crew!! Thank you all for providing another income source for the Abbey!! Glad to see Wreck it Ralph back in action!
The quilt Mona made for me is a real work of art, as is every one she makes is, and I'm honored to have it hanging in my office at the Abbey. And she is talking about starting her own UA-cam channel about her life and daily activity of quilting...we shall see. Thank you very much for your blessings, kind words, and taking the time to watch the video, it is all greatly appreciated. Until the next one, God's peace John.

God bless you for another amazing and informative vlog. Love the quilt. Mona is truly talented, an absolute work of art. I thank Jesus for both your work.
Thank you so much for your blessings, kind words, and for taking the time to watch the video, it is all greatly appreciated. Also, I will pass along your comment about the quilt to Mona, it will make her day. God's peace.

Aman. I couldn't have said it any better 👏
If you used a steamer the clean up would be so much quicker and less overspray. Additionally, everything would be sterilized.
Great system, and looks so fun. Bet it smells wonderful.
The problem with using steam, or even hot water, and I used that initially, was the amount of moisture it put into the building. Because moisture has a way of finding it's way into our honey, I avoid any means to allow that to happen. As far as overspray, because there is a troff running down the center of the building to capture any and all water, overspray is not an issue. Still, thank you for your suggestion and for watching, it is greatly appreciated. Also, 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 Joy.

Beautiful quilt! Awesome job.
Mona did such a beautiful job on the quilt, and I'm honored to have it hanging in my office at the abbey. Thanks for watching. God's peace brother.
Mr. Ed
Amazing and informative video - you have organized everything very well for quite the operation! I like how you have the used frames in boxes on dollies and staggered the stack so the bees could do cleanup! The quilt is magnificent! Thank you.
I have been refining the process of harvesting our honey for almost 9 years now, and I am very comfortable with the way we are doing it now. Happy to hear you are in concurrence with our approach. 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 Jane.

Mona is truly talented. So many skills on one quilt. When you said Mona had been working on it for ages, I assumed you were going to say years not months!! You have no idea how much work has gone into that quilt until you have tried it.
All kinds of harvests seem to have been low this year. Better results next time hopefully.
Mona has created a wonderful work of art and I am so happy to have it displayed in my office at the abbey. When I read your comment to her she was all smiles. Thank you for that, your support, and for taking the time to watch the video. Also, 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 Kim.

Hi from Sydney Australia 🇦🇺. It's winter here atm.We have had a shortage of rain 🌧 this winter. Australia is suffering from varroa mite, a killer of the European honeybee, was detected outside an eradication zone in the Hunter Valley. This is so devastating the government is making a lot of bee keepers burn the hives even without evidence of the Varroa might, and it is so sad. I ❤ your channel. You care for the bees 🐝 in more ways than one.
Hello Kiren, and thank you for leaving your comment on this video, and taking your time to watch it as well. It is a sad state of affairs when government agencies act with no reason for their actions, or operate under misrepresentation of the truth. I'm very sorry to hear beekeepers in Australia are experiencing that. God's peace brother.
Mr. Ed
I never knew.
Love the video! The quilt is beautiful!
Thank you! Mona did such a great job on the quilt, and I am honored to have it hanging in my office at the abbey. 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.

Mr. Ed
Ah OH !!! Thank you Jeff, friends, the Abbey, and our precious bees !!!!
0:25 A lot of girls right there! Quite a harem! 32:00 Does it have to be warm water when you do that cleaning? 41:55 I love how beautiful it is!
I only use cold water with no cleansing chemicals as I do not want any residual traces left on the machinery to mix with honey. It is a real pleasure to sit among all the bees as they clean up the honey boxes. 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
