Good morning, Mr. Ed, I really enjoyed this one!!! Very entertaining ! I perdit this one will go viral for you! Have a wonderful weekend. P.S. wifey wants to see closeups of your wall quilt! Mrs. Mona Horchoff is very talented....

Fascinating!!!

Hi Mr. Ed. I'm not a beekeeper but a good neighbor to one, I hope. Call me a beekeeper supporter. I grow as many wildflowers as the town will allow (yes that is sarcasm as they aren't bee and herb friendly...just don't know any better...yet?). I really enjoy your videos and it helps me understand what is going on. I love the part where you find the queen. You sure are brave! Keep 'em coming. ❤

I DID IT, I FINALLY DIIID ITT!! it's always like a spot the find (or spot the queen) but I seen her right off. It kinda shocked me when that whole blob of bees fell to the ground, and it was the coolest thing ever to watch the bee vac up close, I can't believe how amazing they are!

BOGO bees. Gotta love it. Man that’s a bunch of bees. God bless

I hate it when they festooned so much, then drop off in clumps 😂 on me, under a crawlspace, etc. Have a blessed day. Splitting swarms, you the man.

Thanks!

Enjoyed the video Mr. Ed , That sure was a huge glob of bees

You havent lost that old bee magic. The old dustbuster can only dream of this happening 🤣

Beautiful smile 🇬🇧 🇬🇧 🇬🇧

HI JEFF SO GLAD YOUR BACH ,

Amazingly easy. Great find.

Double whammy!! What a wonderful surprise! Thank you Jesus x2

Yes that was your swarm box

Very interesting Jeff.

Fantastic video thanks Mr Ed - kept use guessing till the end 😮

Mr. Ed. Why would a hive of bees quit working when the whole hive looks good.

❤️😀Lijepo

You have the most beautiful smile and wonderful heart.

❤ wow that was like unbelievable!!!!

Most insane bee video I have seen yet.

Holey-moley macaroni! That's lotsa bees right there. She's a big lady. Boy, this is THE craziest bee catch video I have EVER seen!! Amazing!! Just amazing!

thanks for the closeup and good job

what a pretty queen!

You're having a positive effect on me. I used to freak out inside when a bee came anywhere near me. Even ran a couple of times. Today, a bee flew into the car when we were parked . I calmly watched as it buzzed on through and out the other window. Big step for me! I'm not at the point to be near a big ole pile of bees on the ground.😆

Been watching bee keeping vids over last few days and think I've fallen in love with bees. 😍

I would not be as brave as you😮😅

Surprise surprise, two for the price of one👍

I like the music you chose

I have never had any luck caging a queen in a hive with a swarm. I now always release her and he put a queen excluder on the entrance.

Hey Mr. Ed. Nice Video. Really enjoying watching your material. Whenever I catch a swarm, I move them in a Box at least 2 km far away from the point I catched them. Keep going and I wisj xou a lt of honey and wax. Greetings from Germany

The perfect video for a busy Friday break. bless you sir.

MR ED THE BEST VIDEO EVER I REALLY ENJOYED IT, IT WAS AMAZING,

I have watched you for years, but THIS ONE? this one created a lot of awe and shivers and wonder...wow with this one!!

Greetings from Poland.

NICE!!! 👍👍👍

Great video Mr Ed. The Rooster is going to be jealous of this video. Lol😂

Keep doing the Lord's work brother. 🇮🇪 🇺🇸

Keep up the good works Mr. Ed. May God bless you.

I needed this video today. Thank you for being you.

That old house has got to be the worlds best swarm trapping location. Looking forward to the Quincy Illinois conference.

Thank you Jeff for another good video.

They do that just to make you go HMMMmmmmmm! 😱😝🤪🤣👍👍🇺🇲

The close up video was amazing, thank you Mr Ed!

great video 👍

Verry, verry interesting video. A trick that I have learned that usually works is, if you think the bees are balling a queen, pick up the ball and drop it in a pan of water. When the bees start swimming for their lives, re-cage the queen and reintroduce her by whatever method works for you or otherwise use her someplace else.

Wow massive splits crazy stuff winner winer chicken dinner THATS un real.

Jeff, you are the most kind and caring individual on KZfaq. May I ask a personal favor? I'm going through some very serious health issues. I just had emergency surgery for a brain tumor and they found what is most likely pancreatic cancer. I'm not a religious person, but could you put in a good word with the universe for me? If the stars or a higher being will listen to anybody, they'll listen to you. Thanks for always bringing such peace, joy and amazement to me every week!

Good job 👍🐝

I must say you have a wonderful smile it lights up a room!

Wow mr Ed wonderful you have a job mate god bless

I wonder if maybe they didn't like the honey in such an open box. That would be a lot to defend from robbing so maybe they didn't feel safe?

😮 six thousand bees and you find one queen that almost looks like all the others. Wow

Mr Ed, that’s what I call a twofer swarm. God shines his grace on those that do his work!

Bees bee crazy!

Wonderful video! Thank you! I wish schools were showing these wonderful videos in our school system instead of what they are messing with now! You are a wonderful man, full of the love of Jesus and being a care taker for these wonderful gifts from God!

This video Jeff is a phenomenon. That has me amazed in a nature. More as seeing this on your Channel thanks Jeff and i was sure I had seen Julio at 7 am keen I tell you.

Very cool

I had a similar swarm this year. Didn't matter how many times I scooped them up or locked them in, they went back to the same branch. They faded away over a few weeks and I finally did a combine with another hive when their queen disappeared.

i realy love the videos that do not go as planned, lol, well, it filled up 2 boxes, lets keep track if they produce any honey this year

Mr Ed seems to be "tidier" at working with swarms and rehoming the bees than a lot of other wranglers. 😊

You have such a happy voice. I really enjoyed watching your video. I think I will subscribe.👍🏾

I never would have thought a swarm could have more than a single queen, as I would have figured that one would have killed the other, Highlander style!

There sure was gold in those hills.

Awesome vid!🙂

A very unique method for a split. Congratulations on the 2for.😊

Boy howdy, I thought the stranding last week was something, Festooning is a solid word for it!

Greetings fron Barcelóna. That's the perfect way man. Amazing video. Now that we have the Asian hornet invasiin in Spain, we need to fight and take care of the our common bees. Thank you and Congrats..

Had my mentor and others visit my apiary in the trees yesterday. It was hot and humid, 88 degrees, 88% humidity. We sat under the trees listening to bees. It's 69 degrees @ 4am now and the frogs in the swamp are really croaking quite loudly. It is pretty quiet besides the frogs and I can also hear some Loons from nearby Squam Lake calling their lonesome sounding calls. But down south it's the honey house! About a week ago I caught a swarm in the process of leaving the hive, so I ran out to watch the landing board. In less than a minute the queen came out and I grabbed her! It took awhile but the bees that had been collecting about 70 feet up in a tree took to the air and came back down and landed on a "swarm branch" that I baited with 'Temp Queen'. It was an easy shake to get them into a box then into the nuc where I had placed the queen, so cool. I posted it, kzfaq.infoMNy2AjCsWrM?feature=share. Always a pleasure Jeff, thanks for sharing, peace.

I think this is the first time I have ever spotted the queen right away. Such a beauty. Thank you Jeff !!!!

what an eventful day! how fun!!

Hope all is well with you and the crew Mr Ed from Jay in Fort Wayne Indiana

Bees : Thinking Outside the Box ! 😀

excellent video, Mr Ed,

Aw I feel bad for the bees. They worked hard to make those 2 combs, they deserve to have them back.

Great video I learned a lot. Thanks for sharing.

Nice experience…yup… thank you Jesus !

An amazing video. Bees are just awesome creatures!! Congratulations and greetings from Spain!

Catching swarms is such an adrenaline rush!

Wow! That's a lot of great swarm footage! Thank you to Julio for the first part assist. Curious though... I find that my "Yankee" queens way up here in NE Minnesota will rarely cross a frame of honey and start laying on the other side. Was wondering if your experience is different. Of course, maybe it is so cold up here that the queens think they are trying to get across a glacier and turn back... :-) Thank you Jeff! God's Blessings! -Jeff and Diane

You're a terrific bee wrangler, Jeff! Love your videos!

I have to write another comment- Wow just Wow! I love your tenacity and investigator work.

Good Morning Mr. Ed. I was at my hives a week ago and have two issues in my apiary like what you're dealing with in this video. One is underneath an existing colony and has eight comb. The other colony decided to come into the storage shed where I keep my equipment on my friends farm. You would think the bees would have used one of the unused boxes. But no, It decided to start it's colony on the inside of the door. I have a vacuum for when I would remove colonies for friends. But this is in the field away from power. They are both easy to get to. Now I have to figure out how to get them moved to a box and to the second apiary a few miles away. It amazes me that a colony would do such a thing in the colder northeast. Have a great day.

Well played, Mr. Ed. That was quite a curveball and you knocked it out of the part. Great footage along the way.

Lol, what an adventure Jeff.

First time to see Mr. Ed,🐝

Double Trouble for Mr. Ed and the Girls. Enjoyed this video. Always something new to see and learn about bees. Thanks for sharing. - Tom and Trish Goodspeed still traveling in our RV

Goodness Jeff, what the heck with all those bees! Wonderful how you remain calm and do your best to second guess those ladies who, of course, have the last word!

It sounds bad when you say vacuum them up but it really is pretty gentle. I did love the close up showing the bees and how gentle it was. You havd twice the work but twice the results, though. Really enjoyed watching this.

Wow!!! 2 big queens!! Amazing.

Thank you for being such a happy person.

Wow!! Of all the videos I've watched on swarms, this is the first one that had 2 queens!! Thanks for sharing Mr Ed and as always God Bless and 2x's Thank You Jesus!!!!

Such a cool video as always.

How incredible this is, how loyal they are to their queen! Thanks for sharing, Mr. Ed!

Good morning, Mr.Ed.I need some your honey
