Oh my! Temps in the triple digits, bee suit, cramped, over head work space, and massive size!!!! What else could you add to make the job more difficult!?!?! Well done guys. Thanks for saving such a valuable resource and keeping the bees and humans safe.
Just another day in the life of a couple of bee wranglers....but it was a tough one for sure. 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 Cheryl. Mr. Ed
There are a few occasions when these kinds of videos are so impressive, but this is one of them! You could have walked out on this 500 times. You could have taken off into the air conditioning and left some of those bees to die. You could have not done a thorough job and just throwing away the parts that were tough. But you did not! You protected the bees you protected the property you protected each other and having watched your video I wanted to thank you. I want you to know that your diligence in your care with gods little creatures was noticed by at least one person. Thank you.
Thank you so much for your kind words, appreciation of our efforts, and for taking the time to watch the video. Until the next one, God's peace. Mr. Ed
A tough one for sure, but it all worked out for the best. Today's post was a follow up on this one, so if you have time, check it out. Thanks for watching. God's peace. Mr. Ed ua-cam.com/video/fdq-fEJcyhI/v-deo.html
I will always remember this removal due to the difficulty of it as well as working in that terrible heat. Thankfully, we were blessed by our efforts, thank you Jesus! Thanks for watching. Until the next one, God's peace Joshua. Mr. Ed
@@JeffHorchoff I work on the Railroad and do construction as well as masonry work, definitely have had days like that, not 117 degrees but know where you were Coming from, God bless you Mr. Ed!
@@rustyshackleford6693 Not really. In Texas it is illegal to sell honey from removals. And if I want more bees, I can split one of my 150 hives in about 5 minutes vs this example of an 8 hour removal.
Rusty, anyone who removes bee as a profession does not need more bees or honey, they already have to much of both. Also, by law, honey that is removed from a cut out is illegal to sell as the source of the honey is not known or the fact that the honey may be contaminated with chemicals by someone who tried to kill them . You are correct, "people can go in and kill all of the bees for about $10," but for so many other people who care about the bees and the benefits they provide for humans, realize that bee wranglers provide a service, and just like doctors and lawyers, for the services rendered, a fee is justifiable and they will happily pay for that service. God's peace brother. Mr. Ed
@@JeffHorchoffexcuse me if I'm ignorant, but what are you doing with all of those honey then? You surely have dozens of swarm at this point which are actively producing honey. Do you dispose them? Are you even allowed to give them away for free?
Thank you very much for your blessings, kind words, and for taking the time to watch the video, it is all greatly appreciated. God's peace Matt. Mr. Ed
Aye yi yi!!!! Temperature: 100°, Heat Index: 117°. Wow! And the queen too! Glad to see you were resting and hydrating. That overhead stuff would kill my shoulders and neck. Don't know how you do it! Take care, God Bless! -Jeff and Diane
Delayed gratification is the only decent way to live. Do the hard part first! Great removal and a lesson in commitment to the lives of bees. Where would we be without the dedicated support of others like good-time Charlie? We are blessed by the company we keep.
The main reason I did not cut the pipes, though I thought of it at first, was it would have been harder on the guys repairing it than for me to work around it. Thank you for your blessings and for watching. Until the next one, God's peace Matthew. Mr. Ed
A great relief for sure capturing the queen. However, stay tuned for next weeks post, you are going to see what happened when I got the bees back to the abbey. Till then, God's peace Suzanne. Mr. Ed
Everything was tired after this removal, arms, legs, back, and neck. Heck it took 3 days to recover from the beating. Thank you for your blessings and for watching. God's peace Evan. Mr. Ed
● Starts the video with Mr Ed's chooms laughing with him like as if he wet himself (despite that he clearly didn't despite the lack of context.) I can tell you and your friends are awesome people to be around with. 😂 This is why I love your content so much, tbh. I get to see bees being saved while people are having a hoot, too.
I told Charlie to film that bit as a joke. I had just dropped a chunk of honey comb and it went down from my waste to my knee oozing honey the entire length. I had to use water to clean it up before the bees started attacking me to get to the honey, and it looked just like I wet myself. Anyway, there's nothing wrong with laughing at yourself, especially since I found it so comical. Happy to hear you enjoyed the video, thanks so much for taking the time to watch it. Until the next one, God's peace
Yes, that has to be the one of the top longest hive removal I've seen you both do!! All those bee's in a tight space and you were still able to find the queen. You both looked like wiped puppies at the end for good reason being out in 100 degree, high humidity for 8 hours. Hope you both recovered well and all the bee's made it back to the Abby safely. God Bless you both!!
A monster removal for sure and in some really harsh conditions, but both the bees and the wranglers survived the ordeal. Still, the bees recovered a lot faster than me and Charlie did, they were up and running the very next day. Also, stay tuned for next Friday's posting, it's an update on the hive and what happened when I got back to the abbey with the bees. You are going to bee surprised. Thank you for your blessings and for watching. Until the next one, God's peace Philo. Mr. Ed
Holy smokes!!! You two are unstoppable! Once you knock the numbers down, it would've been nice to have a third person holding the vacuum to hand each piece out to so Mr. Ed could just go back to cutting out the next piece. Bet you could've cut the time it took by at least a third. But you managed it. Congratulations on completing that intense marathon boys.
A tough one for sure, and one I will remember forever. Heck it took me 3 days to recover from all the activities of the day. So glad you enjoyed watching, it was a real pleasure sharing this one with everyone. Thanks for watching. God's peace. Mr. Ed
The wisdom of Charlie is always amazing! He's so smart because he's lived for so long! 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 Kelly. Mr. Ed
I guess you know just how rough it was when Good Time Charlie decides to skip lunch and go straight for a nap lol. The heat can be truly brutal and those pipes made it even more difficult. Amazing that you got it all and left it so neat and clean ❤💯
These two old time bee wranglers both took a beating on this one, but at least the bees came out just fine. 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 Dawn. Mr. Ed
It was a lot of work, and the management did make a generous donation to the abbey for our efforts. Happy to hear you enjoyed the video, thanks for watching. God's peace Michael. Mr. ed
Once in a while? More like when does it not happen...that's what makes wrangling bees so interesting. 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 Dennis. Mr. Ed
Jeff if you're going plug in the vac while you work you need to get a short extension that you tie off to the handle.... The plug on that vac is soldered onto a circuit board. That's all that holds it. If you trip on the card it'll pull the plug off the circuit board.... Ask how I know. With an extension it can be a remote disconnect
Great hearing from you again Leon, it's been a while. And thank you for the tip. Judging from what you said, you speak from experience. Thanks so much for watching and trying to spare me a bunch of grief with my vac. God's peace brother. Mr. Ed
That one was rough and tough and hard to bluff! Glad yall got done and found the queen too. Have a Jesus weekend and THANKS! It's a good 95 HERE now. One of the last times was when I had my heart attack and had to have a stent put in. Years ago. I'd as soon keep it ;like that. God Bless ALL Yall and you don't have to be old to look like the intro!
A real battle to the end, but both sides came out a winner as the bees got a new home, and I have some great bees. Thanks for watching. God's peace Nashia. Mr. Ed
I do too, especially when it's so hot outside. 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 Elizabeth. Mr. Ed
A real work of art this hive was, and the bees are doing well since being relocated. Next weeks post shows what happened after I released the bees, I hope you will check it out. Thanks for watching. God's peace Susan. Mr. Ed
I've been rescuing bees for over 13 years now and it never gets old...even when they are as difficult as this one was. 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 Dalene. Mr. Ed
LOL You 2 are great. Loved getting to see all you to did in this video. Hope you get them home safe. & so glad you found the queen & did not have to look for her later .
A rough removal for sure, the hardest one I have done all year. I have made 2 other videos on this removal as it had so many surprises in store for me. The video link below is for last Friday's post, and tomorrow, the second video will be posted. I hope you will check them both out and let me know what you thought about them. Thanks for watching. God's peace. Mr. Ed ua-cam.com/video/fdq-fEJcyhI/v-deo.html
Hit that Like button for this epic Bee removal!! Awesome job Mr Ed and Good Time Charlie!! God bless you both for making this video. Y’all really worked hard for this one under horrible hot temperatures! 🐝🙏🏻🐝🙏🏻
Thank you so much for your blessings, kind words, and for taking the time to watch the video, it is greatly appreciated. Until the next one, God's peace Patricia. Mr. Ed
Thank you very much for your blessings and for taking the time to watch the video, it is all greatly appreciated. And yes, she was a real beauty of a queen. Also, stay tuned for next Friday's posting, it's an update on the hive and what happened when I got back to the abbey with the bees. You are going to bee surprised. Until the next one, God's peace. Mr. Ed
Good morning, Mr. ED wife and I got up early this morning and decided to put this video on the big screen! We enjoyed this video! That is a lot of bees! Wow, 8 hours you guys are Amazing 👏
Nice one Guys ! Even Good Time Charlie under estimated the Time needed. . . Boy talk about close counter. No room to Swing a Smoker, let alone a Moggie Cat 🐈⬛️ in that Closet. 😄 You could of gone to an alternative : "Plan B." Add a Glass Inner Door to that Balcony Store Room. And have the biggest Bee Experience: Observation Hive ever ! Honey on Tap for the whole Complex. Go see your Neighbours for a Cup of Sugar (???) Nope. . . I have a Closet of Sweet Honey. Want to take a look !?! 👀 🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝 Happy Beekeeping 2023 🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝
A grueling removal for sure, and we were both happy when it was over. Loved the idea of an observation hive, but the tenants were already having problems with the bees making their way into 4 other units. 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

Thank you for your blessings and for watching. And yes, ALL of my body was sore after doing this removal....for the next 3 days. God's peace Christi Mr. Ed
Hey from South Africa. Ive been watching your videos for so long now. I just want to tell you that you are a blessing. Your smile , love and passion for what you doing is wonderful. I love to see you removing the bees. I so love honey as well. Unfortunately the honey in South Africa so expensive. Be blessed and please don’t stop making videos.
The honey in SA is so expensive because our bees are so aggressive! No way you go into a cutout or even a simple hive inspection without a double layer bee suit and extra clothing underneath, thick socks and leather boots on in the heat of summer! Not fun, but hey, we do it for the love of bees and honey.
Thank you so much for your blessings, kind words, and for taking all the time to watch my bee wrangling adventures, it is greatly appreciated. And don't worry, I'll keep on making them. God's peace. Mr. Ed
Glad to hear you enjoyed the video! 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 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 Lynda. Mr. Ed
Think I've seen all your videos and this was the most impressive I remember. Good job! How you can be so cheerful and upbeat after that nightmare is beyond me.
Trust me, I'll remember this one for as long as I live! The joy is from having completed the job and I was still standing.....amazing! Thank you so much for being such a long time subscriber and for taking the time to follow along with all my bee wrangling adventures. Until the next one, God's peace Darrell. Mr. Ed
So glad to hear you managed to watch the video in spite of it being difficult for you to do so, and also thank you for your blessings as well. Until the next one, God's peace Linda. Mr. Ed
Aww you guys!! You certainly earned your rest after that one. And you were still smiling for the end of the video. That was really impressive work. I wonder how many boxes that colony will fill.
I had to use 2 supers to hold the bees. Stay tuned for next weeks post showing the surprises the bees had in store for me when I housed them. Thanks for watching. God's peace. Mr. Ed
A very difficult removal and on top of that, done in harsh conditions. 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
I was expecting the bees to be a floor up, you were lucky on that one. With those temperatures, I expect a nice part of the brood to survive, unlike when it cools down too much.
You will have to wait a week but I'm posting 2 follow up videos and you will see just how good the heat worked keeping the brood alive. Stay tuned. Thanks for watching. God's peace. Mr. Ed
I know that the Africanized bees are moving in more and more areas. I really enjoy watching you rehome all of these bees that you catch but I hope and pray that God‘s blessings will be with you if you ever run into Africanized hives that you don’t get hurt, they have been putting several people in the hospital all parts of the United States.
Fortunately, if bees are Africanized, they let you know about it immediately so I could prepare for it. Thank you for your concern, your blessings, and for taking the time to watch the video, it is all greatly appreciated. God's peace Sharon. Mr. Ed
I almost got heat exhaustion just watching! I would have had my second heat stroke if I even tried watch from that balcony. The opening scene was funny, glad you put it in. Thanks for the video.
One more beautiful removal, allbeit a long and obviously tirering one in all the heat and humidity, plus tight spaces. I've seen you do much bigger hives, that took about half the time. I lift my hat to you!
A tough one for sure, but it all worked out for the best. Today's post was a follow up on this one, so if you have time, check it out. Thanks for watching. God's peace. Mr. Ed ua-cam.com/video/fdq-fEJcyhI/v-deo.html
That is a tight space is there any job you cant do wow that was so crazy hive bees so making it hard for you that knew you were coming 😮GOD bless mr ed and good time Charlie great job keep on wrangling 🎉😊
Mr. ED If you put ice in a shop-vac and put the hose in the exhaust side. (Try it out)You will get cool sir out. So in a area like that little room you can have cool air blowing on you . God bless you.
This removal is more of the type you'd see on the Rooster's channel than on mine, but every once in a while, I get a tough one. Thanks for watching. God's peace Garry. Mr. Ed
Thank you for another awesome video, Mr Edd and Good Time Charley. What a team. How many stings this time? I saw at least one shot of what looked like a sting in progress on your left arm around 19:40. Good job and well done finding the Queen. Mr Edd always gets his queen.
We both took a bunch of stings on this one. Charlie got 8 or 9 and I took more than 25. Still, it was a great day of wrangling bees! Thanks for watching. God's peace Ayla. Mr. Ed
Absolutely love your videos. I had no knowledge or interest in bees until your videos but now love boring all my friends with bee facts. Can we see more of Good Time Charlie doing some of the work 😂
Very delighted to hear you enjoy watching our bee wrangling adventures, it is a joy for us to share them, and I appreciate you taking the time to watch. I am sure you do not bore your friends with bee facts, I rather think you are stimulating their minds and expanding their horizons. Keep up the efforts! I am going to tell Charlie to video more of himself as he is shooting all the video, after all, that's his main job. Again, 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 Jaci. Mr. Ed
After this job I got a squirrel cage fan and it goes with me on every job now. Thanks for watching, and I hope you will check out more of my over 600 bee wrangling/ bee rescue adventure videos 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 rother. Mr. Ed
Dedication and Perseverance (and stamina!). Outstanding job, gentlemen. I would love to see the transfer to a hive box, but considering the conditions, I wouldn’t have spent any remaining energy on filming. Great video - thank you both!
Thank you Nancy for your appreciation of our efforts, that is very kind of you to say so. Also, stay tuned for next weeks follow up video of what happened to this hive when I brought them back to the abbey, lots of surprises. Finally, 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

Mr Ed, thank you for all she positivity that is shown in your videos. My 33 year old daughter was recently diagnosed with ALS aka Lou Gehrig’s disease. I am in the beehive state (Utah) taking care of her. We have watched many of your videos and they make her smile. She has two questions. You say your bringing the bees to the Abby. What is the Abby? And second question is, how do you tell robber bees from the bees that belong in the hive? Thank you for all you do and Rebecca thanks you for the enjoyment and smiles from your videos.
I am the beekeeper for a group of Benedictine monks near New Orleans, LA St. Joseph Abbey. I reference the abbey in most of my videos as it is a very big part of my life, and at one time, I had considered becoming a monk myself there. The easiest way to tell the difference is by the masks they are wearing as they are flying around. But seriously, the way I can tell the difference is that robber bees will use any openings available to get to the hive whereas a hive bee will only use the entrance that it has always used to get into the hive. On a personal note, Rebecca, I have added your name to my prayer list, and will pray for you every day. 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 I cannot thank you enough! When Rebecca noticed that you responded she was overjoyed. She could not believe someone with as many followers as you have, and as busy as you are, that you personally responded. She was diagnosed July 25th of this year. She is very rapidly declining. It is so hard as a mother to watch your child go through this devastating disease. I actually live in California. My husband is there while I am here and vise versa. We just ordered her electric wheelchair as she is having a very hard time walking. Her life expectancy is 1-3 years. I am very grateful to you for your prayers. As I believe God is capable of anything. You are absolutely amazing!! Becki says to tell wreck-it Ralph and good time Charlie hello. You are simply the best!!
Delighted to brighten up your day with our fun. Thank you very much for your blessings and for taking the time to watch. 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. Mr. Ed
We got something better, a great hive of bees. 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 Barbara. Mr. Ed

Oh Mr Ed don't you worry, My self and my daughter have been fans of yours for quite some time. Personally i cannot wait to see your weekly clips. On the up side i have learnt so much from watching you that i now use some of your technics my self. Anyway keep up the good work and all the best from the land down under. Regards Rod Long
We do love sharing our bee wrangling experiences, and it's always delightful to know we can make folks smile when they watch us. Thank you for your kind words 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.

And it tasted wonderful. I got over 2 gallons of the sweet stuff from the bees. However, because they needed the honey to survive on, I'm feeding it back to them. Thanks for watching. God's peace Angela. Mr. Ed
Doggone it YT keeps moving my videos all over. They used to pop up in the order they were posted. Now they are everywhere and I don't know where to look. I am so sorry I missed this. You know unless I broke my other hip and was in hospital I would be here. Am home today babysitting our great granddaughter who is sick and cannot be in daycare. Please say a prayer for her. Thank you. God bless you and the guys who wrangle with you. God bless Mona.
@@JeffHorchoff Thank you so much Jeff. She is the only great grandchild I will ever know. If there is another they are estranged from me. Your prayers make the difference. I healed in 6 weeks enough to come home. The prayers did that. God gives us the strength we need to get by. You and Charlie looked close to heat stroke. I prayed you both were alright after this horrendous bee removal. Take care and know that I am praying for you and Mona to be joyful together and know peace. Become an old married couple. Like us. GBY
You needed Dirtrooster, Shawee and Yappy for this one!! I did one that took 11 hours a while back. I have a cutout this afternoon. Wish me luck. Thanks!!
If those guys had been there the job would have taken twice as long because of all the cutting up we would be doing. Let me know how you did on your removal, I'm interested in hearing about it. God's peace Rodney. Mr. Ed
We have been working together for a long time now, and it does work very well. 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 David. Mr. Ed
A cracking hive and a cracking video! Thanks for sharing.. looked like you needed another pair of hands or even a left hander. I have been on my holidays and thought Italy was hot. Turns out it was only 91.5 of your USA degrees
91.5 is way cooler than the 100 degree that Charlie and I had to work under for this removal. This was our hardest removal for the year. Hope your holiday was a good one. God's peace brother. Mr. Ed

Hey, Jeff...love your videos. I'm not a beekeeper but bees fascinate me. I was so happy to stumble onto your channel. By the way, I was thinking about the Abbey you volunteer for and found out it was founded by Benedictine monks from St Meinrad Archabbey here in southern Indiana back in the 1800s. That's in my neck of the woods, only about 40 miles or so NE of Evansville. Keep up the good work!
I'm so happy that you stumbled across my channel, and I hope you visit it regularly. Since I have over 550 videos already posted and I post a brand new one every Friday, you have a lot to choose from. I have visited St. Meinrad 4 times over the years and the video link below is one I made on one of those visits. Thank you for watching, and I look forward to hearing from you again soon. Until the next time, God's peace Susan. Mr. Ed ua-cam.com/video/wtzHpIkcha8/v-deo.html
@@JeffHorchoff I wanted to ask, and I'm sure it's been asked before, but have you ever come across any Africanized swarms down there in Louisiana? I know that they're more prevalent in the South than they are up this way.
That is like running a marathon, in that heat.... respect! Amazing hive, too bad they couldn't just stay. 16:15 I bet one could weigh the beevac empty and full, and get a pretty accurate amount of bees from the difference in weight right?
It would have been nice to allow them to stay just to see how large the colony could have grown, but because of the location in the truss system, the bees had access to several apartments and the residents were complaining. They had to be removed. It would have been nice to have known the exact weight, but I assure you, it was more than 6 pounds of bees. 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
I'm always looking for some good help around the abbey and on cut out, and since you are in the neighborhood and retired, you fit the bill perfectly. Get in touch with me at oscelata@gmail.com and lets get some wrangling done together. Heck, how many folks get the chance to meet Wreck it Ralph and Good Time Charlie, you my friend are in a very small minority. God's peace brother. Mr. Ed
And folks think it will stop the bees, that's a good one! 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
Thank you for sharing that, I'm not familiar with the conversion so I'm grateful you did that for me. Also, I'm grateful that you took the time to watch the video. Until the next one, God's peace. Mr. Ed
What a job that was! Mr. Ed, have you ever thought of getting a head lamp? I just recently got a nice one at Ace that is rechargeable and it can tilt to aim where you need it. That sure was an interesting video.❤
In the past I have gotten 3 head lamps, but not one of them proved effective. Even with adjustable lights, I could never get the light to shine on the exact spot I wanted it to be. For me, the best results come from my LED, over head light that I stick in the celling and my hand held flashlight. 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
With temperature's so high, to many bees in one bee vac would over heat and die. Having 2 vacs, and keeping the bees in a cool place after being vacuumed is the solution to keeping bees alive...especially on long jobs like this one was. 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 Edna. Mr. Ed
Oh my! Temps in the triple digits, bee suit, cramped, over head work space, and massive size!!!! What else could you add to make the job more difficult!?!?! Well done guys. Thanks for saving such a valuable resource and keeping the bees and humans safe.
Just another day in the life of a couple of bee wranglers....but it was a tough one for sure. 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 Cheryl.
Mr. Ed
There are a few occasions when these kinds of videos are so impressive, but this is one of them! You could have walked out on this 500 times. You could have taken off into the air conditioning and left some of those bees to die. You could have not done a thorough job and just throwing away the parts that were tough. But you did not! You protected the bees you protected the property you protected each other and having watched your video I wanted to thank you. I want you to know that your diligence in your care with gods little creatures was noticed by at least one person. Thank you.
Thank you so much for your kind words, appreciation of our efforts, and for taking the time to watch the video. Until the next one, God's peace.
Mr. Ed
Wow, what a job...Always love it when you find that queen!!
A tough one for sure, but it all worked out for the best. Today's post was a follow up on this one, so if you have time, check it out. Thanks for watching. God's peace.

Those bees were hiding good Mr Ed. Take Good Time Charlie to a burger joint, he sounds like he's got the blues. Awesome video guys.😊
Glad you enjoyed the video Richard, thanks so much for taking the time to check it out. Until the next one, God's peace.
Mr. Ed
That looked rough, but by the grace of God, the right guys were on it!
I will always remember this removal due to the difficulty of it as well as working in that terrible heat. Thankfully, we were blessed by our efforts, thank you Jesus! Thanks for watching. Until the next one, God's peace Joshua.
Mr. Ed
@@JeffHorchoff I work on the Railroad and do construction as well as masonry work, definitely have had days like that, not 117 degrees but know where you were Coming from, God bless you Mr. Ed!
That was a brutal removal! I need to save this video to show people who want 'free' removals.
Aman to that!!!
It’s free because you keep the bees and sell the honey people can go in and kill all of the bees for about $10
@@rustyshackleford6693 Not really. In Texas it is illegal to sell honey from removals. And if I want more bees, I can split one of my 150 hives in about 5 minutes vs this example of an 8 hour removal.
Rusty, anyone who removes bee as a profession does not need more bees or honey, they already have to much of both. Also, by law, honey that is removed from a cut out is illegal to sell as the source of the honey is not known or the fact that the honey may be contaminated with chemicals by someone who tried to kill them . You are correct, "people can go in and kill all of the bees for about $10," but for so many other people who care about the bees and the benefits they provide for humans, realize that bee wranglers provide a service, and just like doctors and lawyers, for the services rendered, a fee is justifiable and they will happily pay for that service. God's peace brother.
Mr. Ed
@@JeffHorchoffexcuse me if I'm ignorant, but what are you doing with all of those honey then? You surely have dozens of swarm at this point which are actively producing honey. Do you dispose them? Are you even allowed to give them away for free?
You guys are clearly the King of Cut-outs bar none !!!
May God Bless you both and keep you safe
Thank you very much for your blessings, kind words, and for taking the time to watch the video, it is all greatly appreciated. God's peace Matt.
Mr. Ed
Aye yi yi!!!! Temperature: 100°, Heat Index: 117°. Wow! And the queen too! Glad to see you were resting and hydrating. That overhead stuff would kill my shoulders and neck. Don't know how you do it! Take care, God Bless! -Jeff and Diane
Delayed gratification is the only decent way to live. Do the hard part first! Great removal and a lesson in commitment to the lives of bees. Where would we be without the dedicated support of others like good-time Charlie? We are blessed by the company we keep.
Charlie is right beside me the entire time, what a great friend and co worker he is. Thanks for watching. God's peace William.
Mr. Ed
Impressive removal Jeff. Thanks for sharing. I'm still amazed you Didn't cut the venting. Blessings brothers!
The main reason I did not cut the pipes, though I thought of it at first, was it would have been harder on the guys repairing it than for me to work around it. Thank you for your blessings and for watching. Until the next one, God's peace Matthew.
Mr. Ed
You guys please bee carefull in that heat. Poor Charlie missed lunch. Lol. God bless
WE will, and thank you for your blessings and for watching. God's peace.
Mr. Ed
Goodness, those busy Bees sure made you work hard for that one. I'm glad you knew for sure you'd got the Queen though.
A great relief for sure capturing the queen. However, stay tuned for next weeks post, you are going to see what happened when I got the bees back to the abbey. Till then, God's peace Suzanne.
Mr. Ed
@@JeffHorchoff I'll be here, keeping on watching 😁
I’ve got to give props to you for this one. I know from experience what kind of a job that was. Great job tackling a hard one.
I was thinking about you the minute I saw this hive, I said to myself this is a job for the Rooster, not me. God's peace brother.
Mr. Ed
I have not seen temps of over 100 since Ileft Az about 50years ago,Good to see you two guys work in that temp. God bless you both
But living in Alaska, I bet you've seen temps near 100 below. Thank you for your blessings and for watching. God's peace Richard.
Mr. Ed
Thank you Jeff and GOOD TIME CHARLIE !!!!!!!
Respect to you two. Above your head tight space cutout. Man. Those arms must be sore after this one. Great job. As always. God bless.
Everything was tired after this removal, arms, legs, back, and neck. Heck it took 3 days to recover from the beating. Thank you for your blessings and for watching. God's peace Evan.
Mr. Ed
Thank you Jesus! For you two beekeepers!! And for finding the Queen!!! Best thing I saw all day! Wow what a job you had there. Well done ❤️
Mr Ed, I’m speechless on this one! All I can say is Jesus was watching over the both of you on this one!!!
Amen brother! God's peace Don.
Mr. Ed
● Starts the video with Mr Ed's chooms laughing with him like as if he wet himself (despite that he clearly didn't despite the lack of context.)
I can tell you and your friends are awesome people to be around with. 😂
This is why I love your content so much, tbh. I get to see bees being saved while people are having a hoot, too.
I told Charlie to film that bit as a joke. I had just dropped a chunk of honey comb and it went down from my waste to my knee oozing honey the entire length. I had to use water to clean it up before the bees started attacking me to get to the honey, and it looked just like I wet myself. Anyway, there's nothing wrong with laughing at yourself, especially since I found it so comical. Happy to hear you enjoyed the video, thanks so much for taking the time to watch it. Until the next one, God's peace
Yes, that has to be the one of the top longest hive removal I've seen you both do!! All those bee's in a tight space and you were still able to find the queen. You both looked like wiped puppies at the end for good reason being out in 100 degree, high humidity for 8 hours. Hope you both recovered well and all the bee's made it back to the Abby safely. God Bless you both!!
Ditto no point posting twice.
Hey Jeff, let's see you frame it up. I love that.
A monster removal for sure and in some really harsh conditions, but both the bees and the wranglers survived the ordeal. Still, the bees recovered a lot faster than me and Charlie did, they were up and running the very next day. Also, stay tuned for next Friday's posting, it's an update on the hive and what happened when I got back to the abbey with the bees. You are going to bee surprised. Thank you for your blessings and for watching. Until the next one, God's peace Philo.
Mr. Ed
Thanks for watching Bran, God's peace brother.
Mr. Ed
Make sure you check out next Friday's post, you will see that and so much more. Lots of surprises. Thanks for watching. God's peace.
Mr. Ed
Holy smokes!!! You two are unstoppable! Once you knock the numbers down, it would've been nice to have a third person holding the vacuum to hand each piece out to so Mr. Ed could just go back to cutting out the next piece. Bet you could've cut the time it took by at least a third. But you managed it. Congratulations on completing that intense marathon boys.
I was thinking the same thing Carole 🤔😊
That's when I miss Wreck it Ralph the most, he has always been my hand off guy! Thanks for watching. God's peace Carole.
Mr. Ed
@@JeffHorchoff Yeah, Ralph would've been invaluable on that job!
That was a hot one. First I thought you were inside with the AC. That was a marathon removal. Up and down the ladder and vacuuming., Wow! Awesome job.
A tough one for sure, and one I will remember forever. Heck it took me 3 days to recover from all the activities of the day. So glad you enjoyed watching, it was a real pleasure sharing this one with everyone. Thanks for watching. God's peace.
Mr. Ed
WOWZA, that is a HUGE one.... Charlie said "so much for 2 hours" HAHAHA :D
The wisdom of Charlie is always amazing! He's so smart because he's lived for so long!

Thank you Justine, it is simply the manifestation of the joy in my heart. Until the next one, God's peace.
Mr. Ed
I guess you know just how rough it was when Good Time Charlie decides to skip lunch and go straight for a nap lol. The heat can be truly brutal and those pipes made it even more difficult. Amazing that you got it all and left it so neat and clean ❤💯
These two old time bee wranglers both took a beating on this one, but at least the bees came out just fine.

What a massive hive that is one busy Queen 🐝👍♥️🗝️🇺🇸
What a lot of work that was. I’m hoping that the owner made a significant donation to the Abby! Great job guys!!
It was a lot of work, and the management did make a generous donation to the abbey for our efforts. Happy to hear you enjoyed the video, thanks for watching. God's peace Michael.
Mr. ed
It's kind of comforting to know (seriously) that even those with your experience still run into wooly-bugers (ha) once in a while.
Once in a while? More like when does it not happen...that's what makes wrangling bees so interesting.

Mr. Ed
Jeff if you're going plug in the vac while you work you need to get a short extension that you tie off to the handle.... The plug on that vac is soldered onto a circuit board. That's all that holds it. If you trip on the card it'll pull the plug off the circuit board.... Ask how I know. With an extension it can be a remote disconnect
Great hearing from you again Leon, it's been a while. And thank you for the tip. Judging from what you said, you speak from experience. Thanks so much for watching and trying to spare me a bunch of grief with my vac. God's peace brother.
Mr. Ed
That one was rough and tough and hard to bluff! Glad yall got done and found the queen too. Have a Jesus weekend and THANKS! It's a good 95 HERE now. One of the last times was when I had my heart attack and had to have a stent put in. Years ago. I'd as soon keep it ;like that. God Bless ALL Yall and you don't have to be old to look like the intro!
I knew you'd appreciate the opening. God's peace Lewie.
Mr. Ed
Likewise! Been there, done that!@@JeffHorchoff
8 hours Mr. Ed and Good-Time Charlie? Wow, that was brutal! Great job by the way! YOU GOT THE QUEEN!
A real battle to the end, but both sides came out a winner as the bees got a new home, and I have some great bees. Thanks for watching. God's peace Nashia.

wife and I got up early this morning and decided to put this video on the big screen! We enjoyed this video! That is a lot of bees! Wow, 8 hours you guys are Amazing 👏
Nice one Guys ! Even Good Time Charlie under estimated the Time needed. . . Boy talk about close counter.
No room to Swing a Smoker, let alone a Moggie Cat 🐈⬛️ in that Closet. 😄
You could of gone to an alternative : "Plan B."
Add a Glass Inner Door to that Balcony Store Room. And have the biggest Bee Experience:
Observation Hive ever ! Honey on Tap for the whole Complex.
Go see your Neighbours for a Cup of Sugar (???) Nope. . . I have a Closet of Sweet Honey. Want to take a look !?! 👀

Happy Beekeeping 2023

A grueling removal for sure, and we were both happy when it was over.

Hey from South Africa. Ive been watching your videos for so long now. I just want to tell you that you are a blessing. Your smile , love and passion for what you doing is wonderful. I love to see you removing the bees. I so love honey as well. Unfortunately the honey in South Africa so expensive. Be blessed and please don’t stop making videos.
The honey in SA is so expensive because our bees are so aggressive! No way you go into a cutout or even a simple hive inspection without a double layer bee suit and extra clothing underneath, thick socks and leather boots on in the heat of summer! Not fun, but hey, we do it for the love of bees and honey.
Thank you so much for your blessings, kind words, and for taking all the time to watch my bee wrangling adventures, it is greatly appreciated. And don't worry, I'll keep on making them. God's peace.

I was expecting the bees to be a floor up, you were lucky on that one.
With those temperatures, I expect a nice part of the brood to survive, unlike when it cools down too much.
You will have to wait a week but I'm posting 2 follow up videos and you will see just how good the heat worked keeping the brood alive. Stay tuned. Thanks for watching. God's peace.
Mr. Ed
That was a tough one Mr Ed I can't believe you found the queen as well. Thank you both for a great video
I know that the Africanized bees are moving in more and more areas. I really enjoy watching you rehome all of these bees that you catch but I hope and pray that God‘s blessings will be with you if you ever run into Africanized hives that you don’t get hurt, they have been putting several people in the hospital all parts of the United States.
Fortunately, if bees are Africanized, they let you know about it immediately so I could prepare for it. Thank you for your concern, your blessings, and for taking the time to watch the video, it is all greatly appreciated. God's peace Sharon.

Jeff, you are such a wonderful testimony of what it takes to be a caretaker of God's creation! Be blessed, in His holy name.
I almost got heat exhaustion just watching! I would have had my second heat stroke if I even tried watch from that balcony. The opening scene was funny, glad you put it in. Thanks for the video.
One more beautiful removal, allbeit a long and obviously tirering one in all the heat and humidity, plus tight spaces. I've seen you do much bigger hives, that took about half the time. I lift my hat to you!

Mr. ED
If you put ice in a shop-vac and put the hose in the exhaust side. (Try it out)You will get cool sir out. So in a area like that little room you can have cool air blowing on you .

Very delighted to hear you enjoy watching our bee wrangling adventures, it is a joy for us to share them, and I appreciate you taking the time to watch. I am sure you do not bore your friends with bee facts, I rather think you are stimulating their minds and expanding their horizons. Keep up the efforts!

Mr Ed, thank you for all she positivity that is shown in your videos. My 33 year old daughter was recently diagnosed with ALS aka Lou Gehrig’s disease. I am in the beehive state (Utah) taking care of her. We have watched many of your videos and they make her smile. She has two questions. You say your bringing the bees to the Abby. What is the Abby? And second question is, how do you tell robber bees from the bees that belong in the hive? Thank you for all you do and Rebecca thanks you for the enjoyment and smiles from your videos.
I am the beekeeper for a group of Benedictine monks near New Orleans, LA St. Joseph Abbey. I reference the abbey in most of my videos as it is a very big part of my life, and at one time, I had considered becoming a monk myself there. The easiest way to tell the difference is by the masks they are wearing as they are flying around. But seriously, the way I can tell the difference is that robber bees will use any openings available to get to the hive whereas a hive bee will only use the entrance that it has always used to get into the hive. On a personal note, Rebecca, I have added your name to my prayer list, and will pray for you every day. 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 I cannot thank you enough! When Rebecca noticed that you responded she was overjoyed. She could not believe someone with as many followers as you have, and as busy as you are, that you personally responded.
She was diagnosed July 25th of this year. She is very rapidly declining. It is so hard as a mother to watch your child go through this devastating disease. I actually live in California. My husband is there while I am here and vise versa. We just ordered her electric wheelchair as she is having a very hard time walking. Her life expectancy is 1-3 years. I am very grateful to you for your prayers. As I believe God is capable of anything. You are absolutely amazing!! Becki says to tell wreck-it Ralph and good time Charlie hello. You are simply the best!!
Thanks for the vid, such a great break during a busy day so I just gotta say thank you. Good job and god bless 🐝🙏❤

So happy you found the Queen after all that! Bet you both slept like babies that night🤣
Us too, a real blessing, thank you Jesus! Actually, we slept like babies for the next 4 nights. Thanks for watching. God's peace Phil.
Mr. Ed
The thick cap honey looks so good
And it tasted wonderful. I got over 2 gallons of the sweet stuff from the bees. However, because they needed the honey to survive on, I'm feeding it back to them. Thanks for watching. God's peace Angela.
Mr. Ed
Good job 👍👍👍Thank you for sharing. Be safe 🇨🇦
Doggone it YT keeps moving my videos all over. They used to pop up in the order they were posted. Now they are everywhere and I don't know where to look. I am so sorry I missed this. You know unless I broke my other hip and was in hospital I would be here. Am home today babysitting our great granddaughter who is sick and cannot be in daycare. Please say a prayer for her. Thank you. God bless you and the guys who wrangle with you. God bless Mona.
Just said a prayer for her, and you too. And thank you for your blessings as well. God's peace always JJ.
Mr. Ed
@@JeffHorchoff Thank you so much Jeff. She is the only great grandchild I will ever know. If there is another they are estranged from me. Your prayers make the difference. I healed in 6 weeks enough to come home. The prayers did that. God gives us the strength we need to get by. You and Charlie looked close to heat stroke. I prayed you both were alright after this horrendous bee removal. Take care and know that I am praying for you and Mona to be joyful together and know peace. Become an old married couple. Like us. GBY
God bless you both, wonderful job.
Thank you so much for your blessings and for watching Sonia, it is very much appreciated. God's peace.
Mr. Ed
You needed Dirtrooster, Shawee and Yappy for this one!! I did one that took 11 hours a while back. I have a cutout this afternoon. Wish me luck. Thanks!!
Be careful what you wish for, bad luck is also luck ;)
Good luck to you.
@@apveening Thanks!
If those guys had been there the job would have taken twice as long because of all the cutting up we would be doing. Let me know how you did on your removal, I'm interested in hearing about it. God's peace Rodney.
Mr. Ed
@@JeffHorchoff It wound up being a deadout so no work was necessary. Just told her to get everything sealed up. Thanks Jeff!
Good chemistry with you guys. Nice job.
We have been working together for a long time now, and it does work very well. 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 David.
Mr. Ed
A cracking hive and a cracking video! Thanks for sharing.. looked like you needed another pair of hands or even a left hander. I have been on my holidays and thought Italy was hot. Turns out it was only 91.5 of your USA degrees
91.5 is way cooler than the 100 degree that Charlie and I had to work under for this removal. This was our hardest removal for the year. Hope your holiday was a good one. God's peace brother.
Mr. Ed
Awesome video!
So happy to hear you enjoyed the video, thanks so much for taking the time to watch it and leave your comment. 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 Shannie.
Mr. Ed
Hey, Jeff...love your videos. I'm not a beekeeper but bees fascinate me. I was so happy to stumble onto your channel. By the way, I was thinking about the Abbey you volunteer for and found out it was founded by Benedictine monks from St Meinrad Archabbey here in southern Indiana back in the 1800s. That's in my neck of the woods, only about 40 miles or so NE of Evansville. Keep up the good work!
I'm so happy that you stumbled across my channel, and I hope you visit it regularly. Since I have over 550 videos already posted and I post a brand new one every Friday, you have a lot to choose from. I have visited St. Meinrad 4 times over the years and the video link below is one I made on one of those visits. Thank you for watching, and I look forward to hearing from you again soon. Until the next time, God's peace Susan.

@@JeffHorchoff I wanted to ask, and I'm sure it's been asked before, but have you ever come across any Africanized swarms down there in Louisiana? I know that they're more prevalent in the South than they are up this way.
That is like running a marathon, in that heat.... respect! Amazing hive, too bad they couldn't just stay.
16:15 I bet one could weigh the beevac empty and full, and get a pretty accurate amount of bees from the difference in weight right?
It would have been nice to allow them to stay just to see how large the colony could have grown, but because of the location in the truss system, the bees had access to several apartments and the residents were complaining. They had to be removed. It would have been nice to have known the exact weight, but I assure you, it was more than 6 pounds of bees. 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
Wow, not all removals are easy huh. That was more like surgery! Amazing. I’m in Covington and gladly would have given you a hand.
I'm always looking for some good help around the abbey and on cut out, and since you are in the neighborhood and retired, you fit the bill perfectly. Get in touch with me at oscelata@gmail.com and lets get some wrangling done together. Heck, how many folks get the chance to meet Wreck it Ralph and Good Time Charlie, you my friend are in a very small minority. God's peace brother.
Mr. Ed
Good old spray foam.
And folks think it will stop the bees, that's a good one! 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
@@JeffHorchoff I've been watching your channel for years.
20:42 and to us who uses Celsius all that means: 100°F = 37.7°C and its feels like 117°F = 47.2°C
Thank you for sharing that, I'm not familiar with the conversion so I'm grateful you did that for me. Also, I'm grateful that you took the time to watch the video. Until the next one, God's peace.
Mr. Ed
What a job that was! Mr. Ed, have you ever thought of getting a head lamp? I just recently got a nice one at Ace that is rechargeable and it can tilt to aim where you need it. That sure was an interesting video.❤
In the past I have gotten 3 head lamps, but not one of them proved effective. Even with adjustable lights, I could never get the light to shine on the exact spot I wanted it to be. For me, the best results come from my LED, over head light that I stick in the celling and my hand held flashlight. 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
I was wondering how all those bees would fit glad you had an extra vaccume.
With temperature's so high, to many bees in one bee vac would over heat and die. Having 2 vacs, and keeping the bees in a cool place after being vacuumed is the solution to keeping bees alive...especially on long jobs like this one was. 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 Edna.
Mr. Ed
You should try a pastry knife when you cut the comb! Hello.
On this particular removal, I needed the 16 inch knife just to reach the end of the comb. Do they make a 16" pastry knife? God's peace.
Mr. Ed
