It would take me almost 10 years to produce that much honey. If you had not seen how we get the honey to the honey house, the video link below will show you, I hope you will check it out. Glad to hear you are retired, it's my prayer everyone who works gets to see that day. I have been retired since 2009 and now volunteer keeping bees for the monks. 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 Roger. Mr. Ed kzfaq.info/get/bejne/ntJhiMJ40KyWo3k.html

​@JeffHorchoff Thank you Mr. Ed!!! Seeing you happy & so benevolent always warms my heart!!!

Great video! A new appreciation for the work that goes into the nectar of the gods. 😋 cheers

Keep in mind honey is much denser than water. 3500 was probably overloaded.

What an honor to have your label in our honey house, thank you so much for sending it to me. Having the labels in there only adds to the beauty of the interior. God's peace John. Mr. Ed

I normally end the video with that shot, but this time I changed things up a bit. Like you, I love seeing the bees clean up the honey, I find it so relaxing just to stand in the midst of them while they are at work. Thank you so much for becoming a member on my channel, your generosity is to kind. God's peace. Mr. Ed

Thank you Mirah, what a blessing to have so many wonderful friends that donate their time and talent for the monks. Thank you for your support and for watching. God's peace. Mr. Ed

I truly appreciate your comment and I will consider your request. My wife, Mona has told me the same thing about speeding up the videos and how so many folks would truly like to see the action in real time. She says that if those who watch want to speed it up, let them do it. Thank you so much for telling me this, and I will take it to heart. God's peace Betsy. Mr. Ed Mr. Ed

What an honor it was for me to speak at the Marshall Texas beekeepers club meeting, and to meet so many wonderful beekeepers like yourself Charla. My wife, Mona, was an interior designer in her working days, and painted murals on dozens of commercial and residential walls in the Houston area, she grew up in Tomball, and she was responsible for the creation of the honey house walls. It took us about a week to start and finish the project, and rest assured, I will be updating the slide presentation with the new design. These days she focuses all her attention on quilts, and as you saw, she is very talented in that department as well. Thank you so much for your comment and for taking the time to watch the video. Also, 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.

Don't despair about not having a honey label for our wall, just by you watching my channel you are helping me out tremendously, thank you for all you do...especially for all the blessings you send for me. God's peace Sherry. Mr. Ed

@JeffHorchoff you welcome. I love watching them.

When you are ready to do so, let me know before hand and I will make sure I am here to give you a tour. Until that day, God's peace brother. Mr. Ed

I have been saying that for years now, but as soon as KZfaq gets smell-o-vision, it will be on my videos. Who knows, one day you may be in the New Orleans area around harvesting day and you would certainly be welcomed to help with the job. God's peace Christi. Mr. Ed

The honey house is really beautifully decorated and I have Mona to thank for the inspiration and the work to make it happen, but the quilt she made is simply amazing! As we still have more honey to bring in I don't know if this will be a record year yet. However, after it is all done, I will be posting a video on the season. God's peace Karen. Mr. Ed

Love to have your label on the wall, it will bee another great addition. Thanks for watching. God's peace Connor. Mr. Ed

I remember when I had 5 hives and a Walter Kelly 2 frame, hand crank extractor. It took all day to process 30 frames of honey in my open air garage full of bees. I can't say I miss those days, but I hold them fondly in my heart. Oh yeah, and I only had a serrated kitchen knife to uncap the frames. Yes, I have come a long way since then, but the joy of harvesting honey is exactly the same. 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.

I'm truly blessed to have Charlie as a friend, and to think, keeping bees is how we met. Also, he is so much fun to be around and he loves making the videos with me. Thanks for watching. God's peace brother. Mr. Ed

That's actually a very good question and one that a seasoned beekeeper may not even consider. In the past I have actually had beetle larvae hatch out from the cappings if I allow the cappings to stay in the drums for to long, over 2 weeks. But in fact, it matters not if they do hatch as they are nowhere near the honey which is several inches below them, they only stay on the top of the cappings. Now, I make sure I get the job done within a week after processing insuring that does not happen. Thanks for watching. God's peace David. Mr. Ed

Yes indeed! I plan on putting your boxes together today and this week put some bees in them. I will give you a call with an update when it happens. God's peace Jared. Mr. Ed

@@JeffHorchoff thank you! It was great watching this video and congratulations on the incredible production!

Thank you very much for all your kind words Mary. It is true, and all who contribute their time and talents to make the Abbee Honey house what it is do so from generous hearts. I'm such a blessed man to bee surrounded by such wonderful people. God's peace. Mr. Ed

She still has to add bees to the wall and a bit more filling in of the comb, but that is still to come. For now, it still looks awesome!

Charlie was salivating as the bells were ringing, he know what they meant. God's peace brother. Mr. Ed

With us doing smaller honey processing, we don't need as many folks as we had in the past. I did let Mike know about us doing it, but unfortunately he had prior commitments and could not bee there.

Bees exhibit a more "aggressive" nature whenever there is a dearth going on. Because there are not resources coming into the hive, and the field bees have no work to do because there is no nectar to be gathered, they may become a bit more testy. And yes, I truly am a blessed man. 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.

Thank you, it has been a work in progress of over 8 years, but now I think we have everything we need to get the job done very fast and very efficient. All that is used to clean up is cold water. I never use cleaning solutions as they all leave some sort of chemical trail and I do not want anything in our honey except what the bees put into it.
