It's always a good day when you catch a swarm, but to be able to watch the queen walk in.....that doesn't happen often. Here's the latest from Studio Bee productions. God's peace to all, and Happy Easter.
Mr. Ed
I can’t believe my eyes went right to the queen before she was pointed out.
Your a great teacher and do believe I’ve earned a gold star today!🐝
Wow I have so much to learn! My husband won't go near the one little hive I have in CrabApple Cove. I'm still so new at this so I'm watching and will learn from all the great men and women Beekeepers out there!! God Bless you Mr. Ed!
Thank you so much for your blessing Faye! We are all learning, just keep the desire and hunger to learn more and pretty soon your husband will be joining you at Crab Apple Cove. Best wishes, and God's peace.
Mr. Ed
Dear Mr. Ed,
Thank you for sharing your bee stories. You have kept me company tonight as I have input my last grades of the semester. I so appreciate the praise that you give God and His creations. It is a blessing to see man acknowledge that. Thank you for reminding me of God's grace. Thank you for your good stewardship to God's creations.
Janelle, I wish you had been my teacher. Your students are truly blessed to have as a teacher someone who acknowledges the benevolence of our Creator. To live in the presence of my God is the source of my hope and joy. The bees are just another way of me seeing God in his creation, and participating in his handiwork. Thanks for watching. God's peace. Mr. Ed
That was so beautiful to watch the queen emerge and then definitely put on a show!!! It's like she was doing her on little "waggle dance". Thank you so much, Mr. Ed!!! I learn something every time I watch! 😁💚🐝
That's what I find beautiful about bees: they're a hint to the secret of life. You can't force them to do anything, all you can do is give them opportunity and hope that they take it.
Thanks for the great video!
I like your observation, and I agree with it. Thanks for watching, and I hope you continue to watch my channel and comment on the videos. God's peace. Mr. Ed
Holy cow! I'm amazed at how you find the queen in the middle of that hoard. It was pretty cool being able to follow her once you pointed her out.
I always credit the discovery of the queen by a grace of God, and that's why I always give thanks. thanks for watching. God's peace. Mr. Ed
Looked like that queen was dancing. Shaking her rear like that 🤣
She certainly was strutting her stuff, and looking good doing it. Thanks for watching. God's peace Heather.
Mr. Ed
Always nice to see you having fun Jeff.
After having the queen go into the box, my favorite part was when you pointed your camera up into the air, and we got to see them all buzzing around in that beautiful sky! It was a wonder to behold!
Another captivating video, Mr. Ed! God bless you, and your bees!
See you in your next video!👋🏾
watching you sprawled out next to the hive while the Queen shook her booty was neat. I love the sense of wonder and glee. just like a kid you are! and that is grand.
Life is GREAT when Christ is at the center. My sense of wonder and joy comes from that source. As always, thanks for watching Juliana. Happy Easter!
Mr. Ed
That is a fabulous bee hive box . Looks like a little cabin . Lol
It is a pretty cool looking bee house, but trust me, the bees only care if it provides a safe place for them to start a hive, and they did just that. Thanks for watching. God's peace Tim.
Mr. Ed
I saw her too! I wondered about her pumping her abdomen for a few moments, and I wondered if she was 'pumping out her pheromones' to call the bees to the hive location? A thoughts.. she finally went in! Thanks again, for a new experience!
A dark beauty for sure this queen was, happy to hear you enjoyed watching and finding the queen for yourself. Until the next time, God's peace Jackie.
Mr. Ed
Awesome video- priceless when you can watch her walk in.
Ain't that the truth! Happy Easter brother. Mr. Ed
Happy Easter. I too caught a swarm. They came from a neighbor's hive. They are in a whiskey barrel on my porch. I've had an untended hive there for 5 years and they left in September. Now I need to move them to a hive box.
Coolest swarm catch this year!! That queen is a special lady.
How about that for a black queen! Thanks for watching and commenting Shelly. Happy Easter! Mr. Ed
sir, you are a magician full of knowledge. I am in France and beekeeper for two years. to every swarm that I gather, it is as if I fell back into childhood and that Santa Claus had passed. You remember this feeling when opening your gifts. Well that's exactly what I feel. Thank you for your sharing of knowledge
Je ne suis pas un magicien, je vole habituellement par le siège de mon pantalon, mais le rassemblement de Dieu veille sur moi et me guide comme je me dispute les abeilles. Attraper des essaims est l'une des activités favorites et j'en ai pris plus de 30 l'année dernière. Je suis d'accord avec vous, attraper des abeilles, c'est comme recevoir des cadeaux du Père Noël, peut-être même mieux. C'est un plaisir de partager ce que j'ai appris, et j'espère que vous pourrez l'utiliser dans votre recherche d'abeilles. Reste en contact. La paix de Dieu.
M. Ed
That was awesome! Thanks for videoing and sharing! I've set up my very first hive and really enjoy your videos! They've helped to prepare me and make me more comfortable taking care of the hive. My next project is to try to get a free wild one.
I am happy as can be knowing you have used things you have learned about bee from watching my channel. As you will find out, keeping bees is as challenging as it is rewarding, and I wish you all the success in your adventures. Also, I hope you catch some free bees. Let me know about your progress. Thanks for watching. Easter blessings. Mr. Ed
Yesterday a swarm filled up an empty hive box for me.😊
I'm pretty sure she was putting her scent out when she was shaking her abdomen. It helps the workers orient to her new location. Great video!
I'd have to agree with that. Thanks for watching. Happy Easter! Mr. Ed
That was amazing! You captured a Queen on Video in a swarm marching into a new hive. I've never seen that! Thanks for sharing. Happy Easter! - Pete, New York City
I have to agree, that was cool stuff getting that footage. I've seen it before, but I never captured it on camera, it was truly a grace given. Pete, I have a buddy bee keeper in New York City that keeps bees on roof tops. His name is Tom Wilks, and he owns Wilks Apiary. He sells his honey as Zip Code honey as the hives are in different zip codes, a good idea he came up with to market his honey. So, if you want some really good honey, get in touch with Tom. Thanks for watching. Easter blessings brother. Mr. Ed
That is such a pretty hive! Fun clip to watch. Short and so sweet!
Glad you enjoyed the video Pattyann. It was shear joy watching it first handed, I'm happy the video portrayed what I witnessed. Thanks for watching. God's peace. Mr. Ed
Thought you where kidding catching a swarm of bees in February. I saw the video today. My daughter called me today February 28 because I had a swarm be bees hanging on a tree by my bees today. Got there just in time to get them in a hive before sunset
Congratulations! Nothing like getting the first swarm of the year to get you fired up to catch more. Thanks for watching. God's peace Alan.
Mr. Ed
I've never seen a queen before and this was exciting for me. I got interested in beekeeping just this year. Thanks for the video.
I've been keeping bees for more than 15 years, and EVERY time I see a queen, bee, I get excited too. I hope the thrill never leaves you. Thanks for watching. God's peace. Mr. Ed
I "captured" my first swarm today. They were on the ground exactly like in your video. I placed a box in front of them and they walked right in! Shortly later the queen walked in also.. I noticed the bees left wax on the blades of grass on the ground. Really cool. I enjoy your videos!
Cngratulations on catching your first swarm, what a great feeling catching free bees. Just think, if you had videoed your swarm capture we could play them side by side and no one could tell the difference. Thanks for watching, I hope you continue to do so. God's peace. Mr. Ed
Congratulations on the amazing catch. That queen was really dancing for the camera. Great footage!
I couldn't believe how long that queen stayed on the landing board. Most of them run right in, not her. I think that was the best footage I ever shot, accidentally of course, of a queen. Thanks for watching. God's peace. Mr. Ed
Thank you, Mr. Ed! I LOVE when you change the speed of the bees (fast forward).
They all look like they've had too much coffee/caffeine! 🤪😇
I like the way it looks when the bees fast forward into the hive, it really shows the march well. Plus, it shortens the length of the video. Thanks for watching. God's peace Kathy.
Mr. Ed
Love your video's. They are calming and exciting at the same time.
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.
Mr. Ed
@@JeffHorchoff No problem on the watching part. I love bees and next summer I think I am ready to give it a go where I live (northern Norway) though I yet have much to learn. Keep making those videos, I'll keep on learning :). Thank you for sharing your experience.
That's very exciting to know you have ambitions on becoming a bee keeper yourself. I wanted to suggest to you to find a bee club in your area and join it now. You do not need to have bees to belong to a club, just a love for them. You will meet some really great folks who can give you valuable information on keeping bee in the area you live and that is very important. Folks up north keep bees different from folks down south, food and climate have everything to do with it. Let me know how you progress goes. God's peace.
Mr. Ed
Damn you are so chill in the middle of a swarm...That swarm got hit by a lawnmower so i would expect them to be prrretttyyy moody and you just chilling next to them.
A swarm of bees reacts quite differently than a established hive, even if they were run over by a lawn mower. Trust me, if this was not a swarm, I'd have had my suit on. Thanks for watching. God's peace Phillip.
Mr. Ed
You are so fun! I’m a beekeeper on a small scale and you are so inspiring! Thank you for your videos and --apparently God made you for this as you get right in there with the bees-often with no jacket! Wow! I have to be in full bee regalia-lol! Blessings
Bee wrangling is fun, and I do enjoy sharing my experiences of it. I'm happy to hear you are a bee keeper as well, the scale is insignificant compared to joy one gets by participating in such a noble occupation. thank you for your blessing, your kind words, and for watching. I post a new video each Friday morning, and I look forward to hearing from you again. God's peace.
Mr. Ed
Hey Mr. Ed, got to do my first bee install on my beekeeping class today. Got to be hands on and do it myself. Such an awesome experience. Thanks for your videos they are great!
What's great is you becoming a bee keeper. Your adventures are just starting, I wish you all the success. Keep me posted on your progress. Thanks for watching. Happy Easter! Mr. Ed
Passover is beginning here in California, the sun will be setting soon.🌻😎🌻Happy Easter, 🐝
The most holy night of the Hebrew faith, when God's people make haste to depart from their captivity. What a beautiful tradition. Happy Easter!
Mr. Ed
+Jeff Horchoff 🐝
I saw her walking to the right side of the landing then walk off and back on. The whole time I'm yelling there she is, there she is!!! Lol
I must have watched this video 10 times, and every time I did exactly the same thing.....There she is, there she is! Easter blessings to you and your family Joey! Mr. Ed
I sorted that bad girl right away! I'm glad she survived! Nice work as always!👍
More often than not we get to busy to truly pay attention to what queens really do all day. Some people think a queen just mates, goes in the box and lays eggs her whole life, I say not even close. I have a few hives that Ive seen the queen come out and leave then return and do it five times in a day, and those where just the times I caught one sneaking out her window. It does beg the question, what are we interfering with when we cut off one of her wings? Bees are complex, we've not even begun to understand them but more so just try to harness them with no success whatsoever.I just let them be bees, its cool to watch them.
I agree 100%, I try not to interfer with my bees except when necessary. I leave them alone, and they do fine. No future in giving bees unnecessary stress. Thanks for watching and commenting. God's peace. Mr. Ed
If you have a queen that likes to out for a little stroll, and a Marten or whatever spots her, your hive just lost their reason for living. If you have to clip a wing to make her stay home, do it. the workers are expendable, she is NOT. Eaven I know that much and I'm not eaven a bee keeper.
Wow that was amazing!! First time ever, I spotted the queen before you said anything - love it! Hope you and your Mom have a wonderful Blessed Easter ~ Karen
I've got a good reason why it takes me a while to spot the queen, I'm old. Now the Dirt Rooster he doesn't have any good reason why he can't find a queen. I guarantee, he's still looking for her on this video even though I point her out. She is on the board at 2:08, the third bee from the top of the board. I don't spot her till 2:32, 24 seconds later. Oh well, at least I saw her. Easter blessing to you and your family Karen!
LOL - Don't know if I should say poor Randy or not. He spots the queen faster than lightning. Jeff, you're not old. If you say that then I have to say that also. HA!
good
OLD?? Don't remind me.
She had a taste of freedom and didn't want to give it up.
I never saw anything take so much time to get all prettied up just to go to work. Well, other than you getting ready to shoot a video. In case you don't realize it, it isn't necessary to put a gallon of perfume on, the viewers can't smell it. Easter blessings to you and your family buddy! Mr. Ed
That was one purty sight Jeff. Keep up the good work, great video.
Thanks Rick, I hope you continue to watch. God's peace brother. Mr. Ed
the queen has to be reluctant to go in. she has to smell the entrance very well to see if another queen is inside because she will die very quickly if another queen is inside. Just because the jeff knows no other queen is inside, does not translate to your future genetics living and being passed on if you don't know for sure. I understand completely mr Ed. She has to be sure then her genes will be passed on because she made sure. When looking for the queen on first entry look for the waggling rear. I saw it right away when she landed. This waving of the abdomen has something to do with preparing the egg laying machine to function correctly for first egg laying. None of this is easy.
Thanks so much for the bee lesson, I never considered her reluctance attributed to the possibility of another queen inside. Still, it was really cool watching her move about. Thanks for watching and leaving a great comment. God's peace.
Mr. Ed
Great video! I've not seen a queen stay on a landing board that long. Great work!
That makes 2 of us. It was a real thrill to watch. Thanks for watching. Easter blessings! Mr. Ed
That was a neat video. Thank you for sharing.
Glad to do it. I have to admit, I thought it was pretty cool also seeing the queen come in and walk all around the entrance. Thanks for watching. Happy Easter! Mr. Ed
+Jeff Horchoff 🐝
Thanks for watching. Happy easter! Mr. Ed
That was so cool to see her land and just walk around.
This swarm just popped up, that's why you weren't in it. I'm doing a cut out on Monday, and that's your video. I hope you and your daughter can stand the suspense. Easter Blessings brother! Mr. Ed
Jeff Horchoff LOL.😂 We are in suspense. But we really enjoy watching your videos. I was out in our bee yard today. Our hives are busting at the seams. Had to add boxes and give them more room. The girls are busy! Happy Easter!
I love the little swarm catching rivalry you and Dirt Rooster have going on. It’s funny. I don’t own bees. I just find it absolutely amazing learning about them and watching these channels.
The Rooster and I have become very good friends just because we share a great love for bees. Of course there's nothing wrong with making fun of the guy just for a laugh or two. Thanks for watching. God's peace.
Mr. Ed
I wonder if she was calling out to her bees...and no kidding.....couldn't get any better than that! :)
No doubt she was, and I'm glad you enjoyed the video. Thanks for watching. Happy Easter! Mr. Ed
Jeff Horchoff , I always enjoyed the videos thank you
Awesome ! That was amazing to see them all going in and the Queen was safe. God Bless and thank you.
If you thought this video showed the queen well, wait till you see the video I post this Sunday, it's got some really cool footage. Stay tuned. Thanks for watching. God's peace. Mr. Ed
That was great to watch...thank you.
You are very welcome, and thank you for watching the video. God's peace. Mr. Ed
Her majesty was shaking that moneymaker!
It was like the spot light was one her and she was strutting her stuff. God's peace brother.
Mr. Ed
WOW! How easy does it get?! Good for you! God Bless you and those wonderful girls!
Thank you very much for your blessing Charlotte, it is greatly appreciated. The easy ones do not come along very often, but when they do, I'll take them gratefully. Thanks for watching, and in case you were unaware, I post a new video every Friday morning. I hope to hear from you again soon. God's peace.
Mr. Ed
that fat bottomed girl was making herself known- what a great catch- especially after being mowed over-- that lady was just waiting on her condo-- many blessings and Happy Easter
I don't know how the hive escaped the mower disaster, but I do know they will have a great home at the abbey. Easter blessings. Mr. Ed
Congrat's ! Much easier than cutting through a wall or a floor to get bees.
God blessed you that day by giving you the queen and she really performed for the YT audience. :)
Nice dig Mr. Ed
Thanks, and thanks for watching. Until the next time, God's peace.
Mr. Ed
Hopefully she was not injured by the Lawn mower. Thank you for saving the swarm even it is quite week :-)
At first I was VERY concerned if the queen was injured or killed. I was relieved when I saw the bees get up and fly, they'd only do that if the queen was alive. Then, after seeing her on the landing board, I knew she was in good shape. Thanks for watching. God's peace. Mr. Ed
I love your videos my Brother
thank you
God bless
So kind of you to follow my bee adventures, thank you. God's peace. Mr. Ed
Thank you for saving that swarm and many others, I worry about a world one day without bee's. How would we survive?
I'm with you on that, what would we do without the simple bee? Thanks for watching. Happy Easter! Mr. Ed
Thank you, I really enjoy your videos.
Thank you so much, and thanks for taking the time to watch. God's peace.
Mr. Ed
I see you sailed by 13k subscribers today.. shows the good work you've been doing. Keep up those slick presentations. I'm enjoying them very much.
Another blessing from God. God's peace brother.
Mr. Ed
Love watching can’t wait to move back south and meet you and the Dirt Rooster wrangling bees is a way!!
When you get down here, get in touch. It would be great to meet you. God's peace Chris.
Mr. Ed
hoped you had a good Easter and God bless
I was able to stay at the abbey the entire week, VERY uplifting. Happy Easter to you and all youyr loved ones. Mr. Ed
Shakin her tail feathers! I've only experienced this once and it's pretty darn exciting! 👍
I actually saw the queen before you pointed her out. I'm getting good at queen spotting! LOL I have never seen a queen shake her rear end around like that before. Very interesting to see that behavior as well as how long it took her to enter the hive. Happy Easter!
I was curious to find out when she landed on the box, so, as I was editing the video I kept backing the clip up till I first spotted her. In the video, it was 2:32 when I said "there she is," but in truth, she was already on the box at 2:08. She is the third bee from the top on the entrance board. It took me 24 seconds to finally see her. No wonder why i have trouble finding the queen in the hive. I need to get better. Always good to read your comments Pamela. Easter blessings. Mr. Ed
I said, "There she is!" before you did! I'm getting better at spotting the queen :)
When are you going to come wrangling with me and help me out? God's peace Mark.
Mr. Ed
@@JeffHorchoff -- Man, I'd love to! If I'm ever in your neck of the woods, I'll come to the Abbey and look you up. For now, it looks like y'all better batten down the hatches!
Very cool video ! bee catching made easy. I have my two packages in the boxes now and doing great : )
Way cool Jeff! Send me some pictures. Easter blessings brother! Mr. Ed
Looks like the queen is doing a dance to call the bees down before she goes in.
That is exactly what she was doing. She was letting all the other bees know her location, and that this was going to be their new home. 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. 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
Nice job Jeff, so lucky that they survived the mower!
Another great video 👍🏻
I was amazed they made it through that ordeal......especially the queen. Easter blessings brother!
Mr. Ed
Nice fancy box.
It's a Flow Hive box, and they are a bit on the fancy side. It's the only one I have out of 100 hives. 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. 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 love watching your videos. Keep them coming
Will do, another ones coming out on Friday. Thanks for watching. God's peace.
Mr. Ed
nice catch, wish I could get that lucky Happy Easter to you too.
It was a nice catch, and I hope you get to experience it for yourself over and over again. I wish you all the luck in catching swarms, and thanks for watching. Happy Easter! Mr. Ed
Nice video. You learn something every day.
It's all about the wonder of God, when that takes place, we really can learn. Happy Easter! Mr. Ed
looks like she is marking her new house
She was staking her claim. Thanks for watching. God's peace.
Mr. Ed
that was neat to see thanks for sharing and Happy Easter to you as well :)
The queen really put on a show for us, well worth the price of admission. Thanks for watching. Easter blessings to you also. Mr. Ed
Good catch Mr. Ed. Wow, 13 swarms this year? You are off to a good start!
I am truly blessed, and stand in awe at the generosity of God. Thanks for watching, I hope to hear from you again. God's peace.
Mr. Ed
Would you be interested in having me put the spotlight on your bee keeping operation? If so, send me at least 10 pictures of you and your bee yard, a brief history of your bee keeping experience, and anything else you can think of so I can shine a little bit of light on your way of keeping bees. My address is: oscelata@gmail.com I hope to hear from youy soon. One more thing, I just subbeed your channel. God's peace brother. Mr. Ed
Absolutely, I would love to send you some pictures and information. Thanks for the sub as well, our channel is young and still growing, so every little bit helps! We are still planning to come visit the abbey this summer when we make our way down to see my mother. I will email you soon. -Steve
I'm so proud of myself. I spotted the queen just before Mr Ed pointed her out!! 🧐
You are now ready to become a beekeeper. God's peace Holly.
Mr. Ed
She was just waiting for the worker bees to tell her it was a good place to live.
"It checks out, lets move in. " Thanks for watching. God's peace.
Mr. Ed
So Mr Eds got a flow hive, they must bee paying you too muck :)
You can see the queen better starting @ 2:25. She's the bigger dark colored 1 just starting to walk on the box then closer to the bottom of the box and starts walking upwards on top of the other bees. :)
When I edited the video, I was curious as to how long the queen was on the box before I spotted her.....21 seconds. I blame that on my age and bad eye sight. Oh well, at least I saw her and was able to point her out. Thanks for watching, I hope you continue to do so. God's peace. Mr. Ed
That was pretty cool to see the queen strutting around on the porch. I might of panicked and put her in a cage.
I had the cage in my hand, but decided not to. If they came back to the box, they were going in.....thank you Jesus! Easter blessings brother. Mr. Ed
I see you with nothing to protect your self with out knowing if they are good bees or aggressive bees good job love your videos
that was amazing to see! I can't believe all the swarms you've captured! you're like "the bee whisperer" :)
Not hardly, more like " the beggar in need" and God hears me. Thanks for watching Zack. Easter blessings brother!
Mr. Ed
Lol poor Randy. Good job brother well done. God bless.
How's your cut out doing? It's definitely the right time of the year for doing them as far as them surviving. This was a really fun catch, no hitches, and the queen came a calling. A real blessing. Easter blessings brother!
Mr. Ed
Jeff Horchoff there doing really good. Happy Easter.
She was scent marking the box . That was what she was doing when she was tapping her abdomen. In a way she was planting her flag on that box.
I agree. But what ever the reason, it was cool to see. Thanks for watching. God's peace. Mr. Ed
Well, you do know that bees do a lot with Pheromones. Besides, bees are an integral part of life and our agriculture. Keep up the good work and your welcome. I used to have a pet black widow myself. No joke.
Lots of love from finland!!
love your videos keep it up my dude
And lots of love from Louisiana right back at you! It always makes me giddy when I discover that someone in another continent has watched a video I made and enjoyed it. Thank you so much for taking the time to watch and then leave a comment. Do you keep bees? God's peace. Mr. Ed
👍 brilliant .preening herself for your vid lol.im a famous queen now ...hahaha.happy new year n all the blessings that come with it from me &mine to you and yours Bro !!! All the the best for 2019 to all your viewers n beeheads out there too .🐝🐝🐝😊👍
I think this queen thought she was on a model's runway, and she was showing the latest in fashion design. And a Happy New Year to you and yours as well Owen. God's peace.
Mr. Ed
She was marking her territory
I'd say she did a really good job for sure, they all marched in. Thanks for watching. God's peace Charles.
Mr. Ed
Super neat, great video
Swanky little hive there. What self respecting Queen could turn that down?
The queen obviously has good taste in homes. God's peace Joe.
Mr. ed
It looks as if she is setting pheromone traces. You can see that the bees are licking the wood behind her trail. Is it because she wants to signal the bees that this is their new home?
That could bee what she was doing, but I was just grateful she decided to call the box home. Happy Thanksgiving! God's peace brother.
Mr. Ed
I have 80 acres with flowering trees a plenty and flowers from spring to fall.
You need a way to raise and lower Randy's picture to be able to get the best angle to drive those little things right into the BACK of the box. They won't come back out for a day or 2. And yes, I know we'll pay for this from old bacon and shrimp breath! GBWYou 2!
I keep telling you, it's not the picture of Randy, it the picture of Randy's equipment that gets the bees to run. I can smell bacon and shrimp, the Rooster must be listening in nearby. God's peace brother.
Mr. Ed
knowledge and patience and faith are good for us. Now where have we heard the story of that before ?
When you show the swarm against the sky - it looks like they fly inline in small groups ?
Great observation, as we are at the end of Holy Week here at the abbey, these are all points of consideration. As far as the bees flying, I think it is a freeze frame effect . I think it is one bee, but captured by the lens of the camera as a line. It does look really cool though. Thanks for watching. Easter Blessings brother! Mr. Ed
Incredible to see!
And I hope you come back to look at more. Thanks for watching. God's peace. Mr. Ed
Already have ;)
I wish I knew of a group who could help me with my dream of having bees.
I would ask your county agent about bee clubs in your area, it's a good place to start. Let me know how it goes. God's peace.
Mr. Ed
Very dark queen I wonder what strain.
Because all the bees I remove are feral, I call them Heinz 57 or mutt bees. God's peace brother.
Mr. Ed
i think she was putting scent on that hive. good job. i havent caught any, this month
It's still early, don't give up hope. Thanks for watching. Easter blessings brother. Mr. Ed
i cut the end my thumb off march 31. Been off work since then, but still working on my little house. Im getting a lot done and will move in it in may if its the good lords will. i get the kitchen cabinets and a few things done, im in there. finish my bedroom later. Have a great weekend. Kevin
I cringed when I read you cut the end of your thumb off, a always present danger when working with power tools as I am VERY well aware of. I'm sorry for your accident. Keep safe, move in, and enjoy the fruits of your labor. Happy Easter! Mr. Ed
Thank you Jeff, very cool! I'm going to try to catch some swarms, I got 1 so far! But lost 2 packages. Just starting, so don't have brood yet! Any tips? Really enjoy your videos!
God Bless!
I love catching free bees, beats the heck out of buying nucs or package bees. At this time of the year here in Louisiana, you don't do anything with the swarm, the nectar flow is just about to begin, and the bees take care of everything. Keep me updated on your progress. Thanks for watching. Easter blessings! Mr. Ed
Hey Jeff I heard you say (it doesn't get much easier than this). Lol we missed both swarms going into our hives.
Btw Jeff I posted 2 more videos yes they are really lame compared to yours but I'm no cameraman, still practicing here !.
Please look for (Kingsdon bees )and leave a like if you wish or a comment.
A green hive and a homemade out door feeder and the start shots on each video.
Thanks folks if anyone looks 👍
so lucky you people are. we face a very new trouble each coming year and lose the entire colounies. no medicine no cure and no experts but only diappoinments.
I am so sorry to hear how difficult it is for you to keep bees, here in Louisiana, we are blessed. Thanks for watching. God's peace.

@@JeffHorchoff i have sent you a couple of emails kindly read those.
Just the coolest thing ever man!
It really is cool to se the queen go marching into the hive. Check out this one I made a few weeks after I posted this one.

In Lewisburg, by Opelousas!! If so you were not but 10 Mins from me. Lol
that was awesome!
Nice little roof on that box. Do I remember correctly that the Abbey has a woodworking shop? No wonder your boxes are so much prettier than DirtRooster's! You ought to work out a trade; you could get his boxes fixed up in exchange for eggs.
Well, did you get your swarm trap and set it? The hive is a Flow hive that someone donated to Abbee Honey. I finally caught a swarm that I could use the hive. It is a nice looking hive, but bees really are not that interested in how something looks. They just want to know if they can take up residence in it . Apparently, it worked for them. Let me know abouit your swarm trap. Happy Easter! Mr. Ed
Sadly, no. We hit a financial wall this month with a tenant leaving without paying rent for two months. On the up side, it's been a really wet April, so I'm not sure it would be a good time to start a hive anyway. When it dries out a little, I may just try to make something out of what we have left over from last year's gardening.
I hope you had a lovely Easter and I'll definitely let you know when I have a hive. We even have some hollow logs . . . I'll come up with something. We did have a nice Easter. The hummingbirds and blue jays are back already. Praise God, we have everything but money. I cannot complain at all.
lol Twerkin Queen Bee !
That queen's dance taught me a few new moves. 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. 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. Mr. Ed
