    The videos are positive and teach a valuable lesson on preserving nature. I watch with my daughter and have respect for any channel that teaches instead of harming the world with negativity.

      Thank you for your kind words and your support for the effort I make to save bees. I post these videos to show just how important bees are to our very survival, and why we should not just kill them out of ignorance. I have been rescuing bees from being needlessly destroyed for over 6 years now, and hope to continue to do so for many more years to come. I am so impressed that you are teaching your daughter to appreciate value in the small, good for you! 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. I post a new video every Friday morning. God's peace to you and your family Celestia.

    Nice catch Mr. Ed! You must have some kind of magic power to get a swarm of that magnitude to just swarm right into your box! Didn't even have to shake 'em out of a tree or any thing. If you hadn't filmed this catch no one would have believed it. Way to go there Superman of the BEES Mr. Ed. Very good job, thanks for sharing it with all of us. God bless you, Mr. Ed.

    The best bee wrangler anywhere. Some folks in California who grow oranges need more bees. Those bees you catch are worth their weight in gold. Not just for the Abbey use but to loan out to groves and veggie farmers who need pollinators. Imagine orange blossom honey. God is always with you Jeff.

      I used to live on a 150acre orange grove and there was a tree with a box mounted to the upper part of the tree and everybody including the crews that would harvest the oranges were scared of going to that tree they would skip it and the ones immediately around it, but my friend and I would get ladders after we got thick clothing and netting on and go get the oranges from the tree and we would have them all over us but we were only stung once or twice but the oranges and the juice we made from them was well worth the stings we suffered we would have tons of oranges and we would freeze the juice for drinking all year round and when the frost did damage to the other trees that give tree and the ones that were immediately around it still turned out amazing oranges I was never once sick when I lived there alls I drank was orange juice but it was an organic orange grove and all the other orange grove owners used pesticides in their groves which is why you dont see beehives in them.

    Ever since I had a dog get killed by yellow jackets, I just always keep a long distance from anything that flew and could sting! "no exceptions!"
    But, watching you, Dirt Rooster, and a few others on the internet, my fear has gone to just real admiration, for you guys "and ladies too," in the honey bee world, and ofcourse, the honey bees themselves!
    Too bad I live in Virginia, so far from your abby. I'd "bee," willing to dawn a bee suit and go wrangling with you!

    I've been watching several of these videos and it is very interesting.
    But without sounding to stupid cause I know some people like to bash a person Reguardless. I have a simple question...what is the sugar water for, what does it do?
    I'm 50 yrs old now, but back when I was 15 I worked weekends for a guy doing small jobs. But he was a bee keeper and he was teaching me many things about bees before he passed away.
    I Helped him gather sworms plus even helped him extract honey using one of those pots ya slide the combs down in and using a handle, swirl it real fast so the honey flings out.
    My gosh it was good stuff.
    One time he put some honey on my hand and said hold still.
    Within a few minutes, bees started landing on me. Before to long my entire hand and forearm was covered.
    Freaked me out, but it was a neat experience.
    Bees are remarkable creatures to say the least.

    Hi Mr. Ed. I had a swarm just like this one enter one of my traps. I was extremely content. It was about 5:30PM.
    I left them in the trap and went early next morning to transfer them to my brood box, but sadly they all went away. Man, I was so bummed out. Maybe I should have transfered right away.
    Anyways, keep teaching the old Rooster how the true wrangling is done. God bless both of you.

    To Jeff and DirtRooster, a simple divise I created to carry in your bee removals when you use a vac, it consists of 2 pieces small dia. hose, a plastic mayo jar lid with 2 holes the hose fits snuggly into and a suiable glass or heavy plastic jar the lid will screw onto, one is attach to vac's pre-suction side the other is used as a liquid honey suction wand, the honey collects in jar, makes nice unmessy comb removal, as you vac the bees, just remember this devise needs more suction than your bee vac wand so hook in before you vac reducer valve on your bee collection box so it gets full suction. Hope try it and find what cheap great tool it is.

    Caught one like that here the other day. A ten frame deep wasn't enough. Found it 50 feet away from my hives. Turned out to not be one of mine either. I couldn't believe it. Tried to get them in the ten frame, they drew comb for 2 days and the queen even started to lay eggs. Then went out this morning to the box being empty. A small small amount of bees that stayed with the very few eggs that were laid. Totally scratching my head at this one. I think the ten frame wasn't big enough for the queen I guess.

      Biggest one of the year for me, and now they are in one of our bee yards. God's peace Julie.

      Thank you for your kind words. In truth, I'm just a guy who loves saving bees and sharing the experience. 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. God's peace.
