That intro was the longest walk to a car that I’ve ever seen! Lol I would never leave my house if I had to walk that far to get to my car!

Hope you had a lovely thanksgiving everybody!!! Hope they make it thru the winter as best as they can!

Hope you'll had a blessed Thanksgiving

Thanks for the follow up.!

Love ya Mr. Ed. You and Good Time Charlie always bring a smile to my face. Happy Thanksgiving. - Bill

Big difference in those girls, and I hope you find a queen the next time you are there. I hope you've all had a blessed Thanksgiving, and I thank you for the content you make. I look forward to it each week. You may well like my well wishing photo in the community part of my channel. I took it in March a few years ago in my front garden. Some years there are so many bees in my cherry plum tree it sounds like I have a swarm!

Great to see the bees doing so well and proud to know Mr. ED is up on his bee game. Can tell you enjoy the bee activity.

Thanks for the follow up! Appreciate it so much.

Jeff, I just bought the last 2 lotion bars. My wife loves them, can’t wait for more to be made.

Hope you had a blessed Thanksgiving!

Thank you for the follow-up.

Survived thanksgiving, turkey all the trimmings and bourbon pumpkin pie and it was delicious 😋 At 70 I just keep on learning. Happy Holidays ahead Mr. Ed, Charlie and everyone else.🎄

November 20th was my Mama's birthday...still is in Heaven. I'm thankful to have found you and your team to enjoy watching and fellowship with. Hope that Charlie, you, and your Mona, and everyone had a blessed Thanksgiving Mr. Ed. What a nice young man these bees have to help them along the way. He will do a fine job with them and have a great experience too! Blessings to all~

Another great show ❤️💯🙏🏻🕊🌈🎉🦃

thank you i just gut it to day and god bless you all

Fantastic , just like always. Well done gentlemen....

Happy Black Friday, from Pontiac Michigan.

Good morning, Mr. Ed, That's a good hive to start out with. I hope they have a queen. When do you think you will be going back? My wife asked if you do, will you bring a brood frame back? Happy holidays to you and the wranglers.

Sure hope that drought breaks and you have a mega nectar flow next spring. Last season was very ordinary for us so I know how much of a worry it is that the girls have enough Winter stores. I have pulled 14 kilo off my Flow Hive so far this Spring here in Perth, Western Australia. 4 Flow frames and 2 frames from the Honey super under the Flow super. Checked the Girls this morning and already they are refilling the 2 Flow frames I harvested on Monday. At that rate I expect to see the girls filling the 2 frames I harvested yesterday by mid next week. Happy with that as that hive re Queened late last Summer. We are perhaps 3 or 4 weeks off the Jarrah and Marri trees flowering so I predict harvesting at least 60 - 80 kilo off the Flow hive and at least 40 kilo off my Langstroth, judging by the number of Bees in that colony and how fast they built 10 frames of comb (3 of which were 90% filled last Monday when I checked) Anyhoo, God bless you all and have an amazing weekend.

I know Charlie said the temperament changed, but they’re still a bit feisty. They’re hitting that camera hard. Glad I wasn’t there before their temperament changed😁😁😎😎

Another fascinating bee video...I'm endlessly impressed by both the bees and the beekeepers!😃

If you do have a Queen you should name her the "Houdini Thanksgiving Queen" Happy thanksgiving y'all! Keep us posted on this hive. Hope they make it. With Drones there and a hatched queen cell probs gonna make it. If she was a new queen she probs just hid from you. New ones are dam good at hiding and fast to go where its dark. I reckon Rooster would of found her straight away :)

Good to see a young beekeeper interested in the craft.

I always imagine a bee chewing through an elastic and *KWAPING*! Flung across the hive by the release of the tension

God bless you Jeff. I hope you and Mona had a nice family time on Thanksgiving Day. We had dinner at our church and it is fun too. Have a blessed week. Please tell Charlie and the gang we love them!

Yall did good but you may have to get Ralph to spy that queen out. We're also behind on rain and that's saying something for the mountain tropics BUT HAPPY THANKSGIVING to ALL Yall and Gods Peace TOO!

Happy Thanksgiving, great video.

Great video thanks for sharing hope you had a great thanksgiving I had a good dinner went to the local church dinner for the community very delicious food

It is blistering hot by us at the moment. Its mid summer. Lots of bloom arownd. Bees are doing well

That nice temperament only lasted for a few minutes!! Thanks Mr. Ed!!

Need some copper sulphate in that pond. I thought it was lawn

Hope you and your family had a great Thanksgiving. God’s blessings Brother.

That is going to be tough for that queen to get mated, and more so with every day that passes. But the temperament is a good sign they are queen-right, and at least a few drones were still present in that hive, so that bodes reasonably well for them still being around in other local colonies and drone congregation areas as well. I hope they don't pick up any of the over-defensive traits in the process. If you have skunks around there, Frederick Dunn has done some great experiments on how they can make hives very defensive, even working out what height to raise the hive to for the largest skunks to have to expose their sensitive underbelly to stinging if they try to stretch up, and although I could easily be mistaken (no skunks to worry about here in the UK, so it was more the process than the result which was of any relevance to me), I think it was 36 or 38" for the height of the stand that worked for him. I think the longer the nurse bees are off the brood in the process of a cutout, the more brood is lost, and if a lot of brood dies, the bees' standard response is supersedure,

Geoff, happy holidays brother! I had a laugh as I was watching this video because I was listening using my new AirPods and the sound was so good. I kept reflexively swatting in my ears, thinking that there was a happy holidays Eric still in mid city

Thanks for the update on them. I hope all goes well with them. They seem happy and content to be there. Have a great weekend. God bless👍👏🙏😊

Happy Thanksgiving! I can't wait to start beekeeping! Love the videos and all of the information you all share!!!

The bees know that they have it made now that Mr Ed is taking care of them.

I found interesting that all the frame connections that I saw looked like old wax, not new.

Gosh Charlie is so sweet god bless you both

good golly

❤

The saga continues……❤🐝

Great video! Hopefully the queen will start laying. Happy Thanksgiving 🦃

Think they might have swarmed? Open queen cell, reduced population, behavior change, no eggs. It will be interesting to see in a. Oupke of weeks.

Mug up from the lakes region of central NH. 32 degrees, cloudy and windy...no bugs, bees are snuggy in their hives. Thanks for showing us some bees! Have a great day!

Hope you had a blessed Thanksgiving day. I want to also thank you for your knowledge on turning honey back from sugar. I had a bottle I bought that turned to sugar now I'm getting it back to usable honey.on my stove is a warming burner I got it on low I put water in the pan and a heavy plastic piece to sit the honey jar on cause it's also plastic. Don't want it to melt so I keep the water warm on this burner on low. It's working out really well It's about half way done but I still got those crystals in it so I have a ways to go. I didn't know how to do this I did it once in the micro wave very hot and it melted it enough to use but it was back in a few days to sugar so I tossed it out. But now that you taught me how to do it I won't be tossing any sugared honey out no more. I'd love to get some honey from the abby you have but I live in KY and I'm to old to drive that far. Do you send honey out Of state? Cause when you taste that honey right out of the hive I want some too. Never had honey like that. My daddy use to get honey with the comb but that's so hard to find now that was many years ago. Have a blessed day good luck with these bees on getting settled. They sure look good. I would love to come on one of your adventures of removal of a bee hive. It looks like you have so much fun doing it plus you have lots of work too. God Bless You and all your helpers you have to help you and God bless all your bees to make great honey for you. Thank You for teaching people that don't know about bees and honey.

I think they remember you

Hi mr Edd

Please more veiwers vto hit the like button these guys work hard to save Life on the bee hives to be re-home for a better yield on honey.

Happy Thanksgiving to you and Good Time Charlie!! Always a pleasure to watch your videos. Very nice young man learning beekeeping from the master. God Bless!!!

Another great video, can't wait to see how they are in a couple of weeks hopefully with a queen. Happy Thanksgiving!

Jeff, Love all your work. You have taught me a lot of interesting techniques. I live in California in the Sierra Foothills and our techniques are slightly different. I do have a question...what size rubber bands do you use to cross diagonally on a frame. I bought some from Staples and they were to small. I also know they seem to dry out fast. Thanks for your help and keep up the good work.

Not that I am the expert but I do have a couple hives and with that many bees I would have split that into 2 hives. Now might be a good time to do 2 boxes and introduce 2 new mated queens if you don't have any eggs. I'm surprised they didn't already split with new queen cells. Again I defer to your expertise

Happy Black Friday Mr. Ed! This has become a most enjoyable series to follow the progress of a bee removal. Appears that moving bees from an hostile enviromnet into a new home works almost as well for the bees as for humans! Guessing people could learn a thing or two from bees? lol Hope y'all have had an enjoyable Thanksgiving, the young fella and Good Time Charlie too. Must be a challenge tolerating those 60 degree temperatures though lol. Up in these parts, could warm up to 20 today, and that is 20F not 20C lol. But there is only a dusting of snow, as snow is again falling. Thank you for this series on bee rehabilitation. Looking forward to the next surprise!! -Bob...

Hello Mr Ed, muito boa noite, revisão do exame novo top demais, parabéns pelo vídeo, que DEUS abençoe seu trabalho. 🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝

Nice docile bees, compared to Africanized! Looks like they woke up when you started taking the frames out. Next time can you speak a little louder, it was hard to hear over the bees trying to kill the camera. I wasn't sure whether to compare it to a hailstorm on a roof or a machine gun at a firing range. I reckon when the numbers get back up to 50,000 they'll be on the phone saying "Mr. Ed, Help!" Nice video, thanks Jeff.

❤god bless you an your friends an family an I hope you had a joyful tummy bursting thanksgiving meal!!! As to the hive?? I am think if isn’t any evidence of eggs, the next time I believe I would put in a frame of eggs 😊 and let me see here…November 26th an 1:15 a.m. an the temperature is ?? 23.4 F 🥶 Girls are in for a surprise coz tomorrow is to be our first snowfall (( and yes they will be not liking it when they stick their heads out an see snow… 🤷🏻 don’t know how much till it is over … it’s Michigan who knows could be a dusting or? A few inches… but the girls tummies are full and frames are full and they still have a cup or two of sugar left on the top box… lol it’s going to be to be what ever god tells old man winter to throw at us hopefully not nasty…

I noticed Charlie has a pretty nice boat. What say y’all take it out and film it?

What are the chances they throw a swarm and then end up back in the camper? Great ending to such a big removal guys.

Great follow up. - really great info. Useful to know a week is long enough to re-orientate to new location relatively close to old side. Did a removal from a downed tree last weekend & talked the guy into having them back as a second colony but his hive was too far away on the property to just rehouse & move a metre (3ft) a day & over rough ground. Thought I’d need to keep them @ mine for a month before taking back. You’ve saved me from feeding them to get them more established 😉 Question: considering you’ve probably got a milder climate will they be able to fill in the gaps at the top of the frames or will they wait until spring to build comb? Thanks again - love your & Charlies work!!

They way those bees are acting I am going back to my original statement, those are Russian Bees. When it gets hot in the spring those bees will be testy. They are very good producers, but I prefer more docile bees. Better you than me. Those girls puffed up. I think it was a good idea you suited up. Everytime I get bees like that I sell them, pollinator companies like those bees, they have more numbers and they produce a lot of honey and yes they pollinate well.

Hi, another great video. You talk about the bees making queens, but I can't figure out how they "make" a queen. Could you tell me how that is done? Does the current queen have to lay an egg for them? I can't figure out what goes on there.

Heya :) love the video! I'm wondering, why is your Channel called Jeff Horchoffs bees when you're called Mr. Ed?

Why is the comb so dark? I knew it was that color in the camper but I thought it was just a result of being in a bad environment.

Where do we go to join your membership? I don't have a join option on this channel. Also, do the bees change color with the seasons, these guys seem like they are a darker color.

I see comments of people buying your honey, do you have a website? ✌🏻

My bees always are able to remove rubber bands in a couple of days, am I supposed to use special ones?

Do you recall what number/size the rubber bands are?

Hello Mr Ed You look good as always How is everything on the western hemisphere ? i was making a replica of the spinner machine to separate my wax and honey . And i have one question 1. What is the speed (rpm) you set the spinner so as to separate your honey? May God bless you

What are you using for vacuuming the bees?

hi sir aapka madhuma kaun sa Vish ka hai aps Serena Indica vs aps Mili Fera Indica please reply continue

They are a bit spicy..

do we have to pay to see videos now?

:) 60? 15 c

I am disappointed to see you have gone to paid membership. As a retiree I am on a fixed income so cannot afford such things.

Hi Mr. Ed

It's a shame, I really liked watching your videos, but I'm not going to pay to watch them, sorry but I'm going to have to unsubscribe to your channel since I can't watch the new ones you put out.
