@@rickcimino5483 Go get a hive of your own(or 2). I was afraid of them for 50 years. I watched the Dirt Roosters videos and got hooked. Randy led me to Mr. Ed. Now I watch both. And I have my own hives.

Thank you so very much for your gift of subbing to my channel, I truly appreciate it.

I have never gotten any my log hives to live for more than 3 years. Usually they die out over the winter and I suspect they starve. God's peace Billy. Mr. Ed

He was in the back ground directing, he did not want any of the credit. Oh yea, he saw the queen as soon as the log was split hiding behind the 4th section of comb, and he coached me on that too. God's peace brother. Mr. Ed

That's what I thought! If he doesn't have a scope, it must have been the Lord that guided him. And that's completely possible, I've managed to do somethings that just can't be explained away by chance it would seem.

Any day I get to rescue bees is beautiful! God's peace Kim. Mr. Ed

Thanks for the comment on their customer service! I figured they were a great company from seeing comments from Randy at 628 Dirt Rooster about improvements he had mentioned to them that could be done and that's what they have on them now it seems.

@@tommychew6544 you're welcome. That's who we talked with about getting a bee vac, was Randy @628 Dirt Rooster. He's been good to us! He recommended a few different bee vacs and left the choice to us. What mainly sold us was... Being cordless and a way to keep your bee's cool the whole time they are in the vac... during transport and removals. We highly recommend Nopec/Everything Bee Vac. If someone is looking to purchase a bee vac, trade with those folks.

Tony is an awesome guy, and he backs his product which is an incredible bee vac. I don't go on a removal without it. I love my Everything Bee Vac. Thanks for watching. God's peace. Mr. Ed

@@JeffHorchoff they done us right. We'll definitely trade with them again. God bless ya sir.

There are many philosophies on keeping bees, and "ownership" is one of them. However, I prefer the term "steward," and regard my role as one of assisting the bees to prosper on their terms and not force my idea of how bees should behave upon them, which is why I do not treat our bees. Given that, why then did I remove the bees from their natural habitat and install them in a conventional bee hive? Had these bees not bee relocated, they would have starved and died over the winter because there were not sufficient stores of pollen or honey in the hive for them to make it. Now, they are in a bee box being fed, and their likelihood of survival is greatly increased. Thanks for watching. God's peace brother. Mr. Ed

Pace yourself and stay safe in that mess!

So sorry for all the beekeepers and bees in Florida, a real disaster. Thanks for all you are doing Joey, I have all you guys in my prayers. God's peace brother. Mr. Ed

The bees that are left behind will eventually find another hive to call home, all they have to do is bring in some honey and they will be welcomed. As long as not to many robber bees are vacuumed, they will join the new hive. Bees are VERY social. God's peace Melanie. Mr. Ed

Ive never understood why you do them in daytime, really....nighttime makes much more sense, but im not a beekeeper.

@@RICDirector Crawlers are a pain - we like to start before dusk and finish at dark - getting all the flyers and avoid the robbing. We do have a red light for night work.

Bees are much, MUCH more aggressive at night or in a shaded hive. And you NEED light to see what you're doing.

Robbing during the derth is always a problem, I just work faster and cleaner. Love the vegetable oil to lube the chain, I will use that. God's peace Daniel. Mr. Ed

@@JeffHorchoff Of course it will smell like popping popcorn as you saw . . . .

I could have taken the log, and I have done so many times in the past. However, on this particular hive, due to the nearness of winter and my fear of them starving out, I chose to remove the bees from the tree and place them in a hive. As it turned out, because the bees had insufficient stores of food due to the condition of the comb, no doubt they would have perished over the winter due to starvation. One more thing concerning you stopping removals after September. I love doing removals in the winter, as long as temperatures reach 50 degrees, for several reasons, lowest number of bees in the hive, little if any brood at all in the hive, and less honey to deal with. Also, as long as all the stores are given back to the bees, winter removals have the highest percentage of surviving the removal as opposed to dong a removal in warmer weather.

I'd have to agree. These bees were in sad shape, but I'm happy to say they are drinking the honey by the quart, so far 3 of them, and I'm sure they will make it through the winter.

There are a lot of them out there on the market now. I plan on getting a battery powered DeWalt version with a longer bar since I already have a supply of DeWalt tools and backup batteries to power it.

The one I use is from Amazon, here is the info on it: Mini Chainsaw, Upgraded Safety Lock 6-Inch Mini Electric Chainsaw Cordless 2 Batteries 2 Chains 5 x 2000mAh Handheld Chainsaw, Portable Battery Operated Chainsaw for Trees, Branch Woods(With Tool Box) Hope that is helpful. God's peace. Mr. Ed
