This man has the most joyful heart about his work as anyone I've ever seen.

Those have to be some of the most relaxed bees I have ever seen. From what I understand, that queen is fantastic.

The only thing more awesome than your enthusiasm for your bees is your smile. I am sure the bees thank Jesus they have you looking after them.

I can’t believe how smooth the blocks of wax are! You did an amazing job rendering these once again. Your videos are so chill and calming and absolutely the best ever.

Send some of that rain north Mr Ed. Man those are some serious chunks of wax. You should put a cotton rope in one of those buckets next time and make a giant candle. lol. Cool hive tours of your two hives there. Lots of good work around the stainless palace. Thanks for the video!

Mr Ed them Bees wax came out goods👍👍👍

Awesome. I was expecting "SNAKES". LOL

Awesome update Mr Ed, loving the new clean white bee jacket

Your latest wax rendering got me motivated to finally use my candle molds - first pair turned out perfect!

For a guy that is allergic to bee stings I am fascinated at what you do. Beautiful job and God bless you.♥️👍🏼

Wow that bright white bee suit is blinding us!!!!😋

Love these…I like to see all the gunk getting scraped off the wax when it cools…thanks for sharing

The Canadian beekeeper keeps a few hives next to his honey house just for 'lost' bees to join. There is lots of 'clean-up' stores around and if they come bearing food, they are usually welcomed.

Bee-ing (heyo!) someone who doesn't keep bees nor knows anything of what goes into it, those blocks of wax are beautiful! Makes me want to join your profession! seems therapeutic and productive!

Much appreciative for your love.

Whenever I’m feeling a little down, I just come to your channel. Your videos are really fun to watch, not only because they’re really interesting and satisfying, but also because I just love how positive you are. That really inspires me to always smile and enjoy the little things in life. I hope you have a great week, God bless

Holy BEEswax , BEEautiful , looks like blocks of cheese ! 🐝🐝🐝

I just learn so so much from every single upload you make! I hope you never stop, I am fascinated! And your videos are so soothing as well. Exactly what I need after a long week.

I love your videos! The adventure of rendering the wax is very interesting and calming to me! 😊

Good Morning Mr. Ed !!!

I absolutely love the bee wax rendering videos!

Another great video. Tku Mr. Ed

Hi Mr. ED is that Big Day Coming Soon., Thanks For the share 8-26-2022😊

Thanks for following up on those bees. Most interesting.

Nice blocks of wax. It is so clean and I’m sure it smells great. It is amazing how well these hives recover and expand. Thanks for the video. God bless.

I loved all that wax. Great job.

I really appreciate the time you take to explain your thoughts and what you're doing and why. Thank you for the education Mr. Ed.

I'm dying to smell that fresh beeswax

the exitement, the happynes, its contagious

thank you for sharing that experience

Always enjoy your videos. I have hives to move and it’s been hot.

Thank you Jeff

Gorgeous beeswax...makes me happy just looking at it!

Always fun to watch your videos and hear your excitement and passion in your voice. It is contagious. Thanks for the time and effort making these videos

Looking good Mr. Ed!!!

One of the Rockstars in the beekeeping world! Best regards!

Your storms are the same ones that have been passing over Nevada a few days before getting to you. We've gotten the most rain during our monsoons this year than we have in the last 10. I'm not complaining, I'd like for a solid month of rain, we need it.

Very nice video, Mr Ed. I've trapped robbers just like you did, and it works! I had 3 frames and filled up an 8-frame box with robbers last time. Was mad at the robbers at first, thinking the split was a goner, but the queen's smell did it's thing, and it turned into a great box of bees. Thanks for the video

Great story!

good morning mr ed

Excellent and Informative work👍👍👍. Thank you for sharing. Take care of yourself, be safe, and healthy 🇨🇦

Never gets boring love the bees,everything reuseable. Green bees?

I am off in Hawaii now Mr. Ed! Sharing the rain with you it seems. Enjoyed seeing what you've been up to!

Great video! LOVE the energy you bring to everything you do.

Beautiful wax! Glad the bees are doing well and working hard on attaching the comb to the frames. 👍😊💕

I always learn so much from your videos. Thank you!

Another great video. You explain very clearly. Thanks!

That is amazing that the robber bees became hive bees! Guess the girls decided to get along❤️

Beautiful blocks of wax you have made :). Love your videos, you make it look easy. Thanks for sharing and letting me tag along :)

Stroong in the Brethren!

Nice video Mr. Ed1😊

You did GOOD with the rendered wax but you missed a prime opportunity for another 'Observation Hive' deal, even though I saw that the hive you were dealing with was smaller than the jumping out job. I guess it was easier for the robber bees to switch than to fight, coining an old commercial for cancer sticks. HAPPY WEEKEND for you and Mona and Gods Blessings all over yall!

Thanks!

goood morning mr ed, i can only imagine the smell of the beeswax. glad to see the tht box of bees is doing ok .. n tht swarm wow wee lovely hidden gem

If you cook your wax in a paint strainer held on the bottom clean up is so much easier

Great video Jeff!

Jeff, lots of great info about your work! I missed you at the Holy Rosary reunion

Hi Jeff When you give the bees some ugly comb, I like to say that the bees will make a silk purse out of a sows ear. Amazing....

I love the wax even way more than I love honey. 💛💛💛💛💛💛🍯🕯

Don't know when you made this video, but since you posted it today I am hoping all your hives are out of the flood zone with what it looks like folks in your area are getting weather wise. Looked like Jackson and several other areas are flooding and I remember your story about the early days losing a lot of hives to a flood. Fingers crossed for your successes. Sweet trick on those robber to hive bees.

OH how beautiful!!!!!!!

Mr. Ed, when I look at dark clouds, I can always tell when it’s fixin’ to rain or storm. In Pennsylvania, where I come from, thunderstorms, often referred to as thunderheads and thundershowers, and severe thunderstorms, commonly referred to as severe thunderheads severe thundershowers, and on rare occasions supercells, are common occurrences in hot weather, but because I’m a gardener and a God loving Christian man, I believe that God brings the rain. And in my belief, the tornado I witnessed in 2017 was God’s way of sending a warning to my community that a tornado can spin up anywhere. As for bees, I’m fond of them. I’m not afraid. But when it comes to wasps, hornets, and yellow jackets, I stay away from them. I know they’re aggressive. My dad got stung by a yellow jacket.

Awesome to see you still going strong here brother keep spreading the love godbless

Mr. Ed!!! It missed the opportunity to send you a *Happy Honey Bee Day* message on 08/20. 🐝🐝 Happy belated though! Good to see you and I'll make sure I donate to your channel. That beeswax is amazing! Of course, I like the 22 lb. block.

:) That would make one bigggg candle..

Mr Ed. Your wax …………it’s……….soooooooooo…..sexy. 🤣🤣🤣🤣

great vid Ed, God bless please make a vid talking about pollen and providing it for the bees and what areas can sustain a colony with no external pollen added, and what this means for the bee industry. ty

Being driven by pheromones as they , the enforced proximity to another Queens pheromone will become an attractant impossible to resist . Unless they can begin a mutiny and ball the extant Queen in preparation of Absconding . Not likely but a definite possibility .

It’s like at a convenience store when they lock the door and make the thief wait inside for the police to arrive.

Good morning. Love watching your KZfaq. Very knowledgeable. I have a couple of questions I hope you answer. How do you know when you have fed them enough honey? How and when did you get started being a bee keeper? How are you associated with the Abbey? Thank you for sharing your knowledge and for answering my questions.

Hey Jeff! Do you watch Canadian Beekeeper? He puts his boxes in a warehouse during the winter. When he took them out this year they had two big snows followed by two floods. It’s amazing how he and his bees recovered from that! Love your videos.

Every time I saw a hive beetle I wanted to reach in and squash it.

Jeff you have to be most up beat bee keeper of all time. Do you get paid or do you do this for the Abbey out of the goodness of your heart

nice wax.. can we see another Brother Austin video?

Please do a video of how you prepare your bees for winter.

You are allergic to bees? We just found out that my wife is allergic the hard way on Friday. Kind of scary, but she's getting better. I have to get all my hives away from our home now. I was wondering why you were fully suited up, but now it makes sense. Please be safe!

❤️🐝❤️

Could it be possible that some of the robber bees came from the cutout hive? Maybe they were just checking out the neighborhood and decided they liked the smaller house.

do you use hive beetle traps. If no, why? If you do what kind. Always looking for your next Vido. GOD BLESS

Jeff, have you heard about using peppermint candy to drive away small hive beetles? Seriously. One candy in one or two corners between boxes makes them leave. Not too much, it'll drive out the bees too. But 1 or 2 works great.

That is some beautiful wax there Jeff. So much work. It takes a lot of work to render those rounds of wax. If you retire after getting married what will they do for honey? God bless you and your gal.

13:40 Is that dirt, propolis, or dried honey that made that ring under the jar?

Hi Mr. Ed, long time watcher here with a practical question: Have/do you coat the inside of the rubber band frames with wax to encourage the bees to build or does that seem like more work than is necessary? Either way I hope that you have a great day and God bless from Regina, Saskatchewan in Canada

Do bees have night vision to get around that pitch black hive?

Do you put a spacer between the honey jar and the opening for air flow and the bees can come and go.

1:11 What kind of birds are enjoying that House-in-the-Sky? ~ 4:03 HOW do you do that, Mr. Ed? While you were scraping, I was trying to remember the formula for Volume of a Cylinder, & thinking about asking you to weigh & measure them. Then, at 5:05 you give the measurements! #1.> 649.426 Cubic Inches, #2.> 562.836 Cubic Inches and #3.> 584.483 Cubc Inches.

Jeff, Roster told me about locking up a Nuc of mine that was being robbed out and the same thing happened to me. The hive double in population.

When feeding honey back to the bees do you thin it with water or give it straight?

I would like to see how you manage that large a block of wax when you go to use it. I would also like to see how you use it and what you use it for.

💕👌👍

What happens to the bees body when she dies in the hive?do they just throw her out with the trash? If so have you ever seen piles of bee bodies by a hive before? Bee safe.

At what time do the larva get capped and after capping how long before they emerge?

Hello jeff i like ur videos and channel but i know ur in louisiana. Where i live in wisconsin we ususally have snow on ground into march sometimes april i was wondering if you knew any good beekeeping channels that do beekeeping in a cold climate?

Hey there Mr Ed! If you get a beetle problem how do you get rid of them?

Anyone have any suggestions for getting a honeybee hive out of our house, without cutting anything? Backstory: We have a hive that's basically in kind of an outside corner overhang/eave and I think it might go up into an inaccessible area of the attic. We absolutely cannot afford to fix any damage to the house that might be necessary to remove them humanely. We also can't afford any damage the bees themselves might do, which is why we need them out. Every "bee relocator" we've contacted can't help us in that regard. They're happy to do the removal work for free, but they can't repair anything and can't pay for repairs (I'd never expect them to though!). I was looking for something like the honey robber spray to maybe chase them out, but it's approaching Fall, and then Winter, and I'd worry about them having enough stores to survive the cold and snow if they had to build a new hive right now on their own. We don't want them *gone*, just not living where they are. Anyone have any thoughts?

What do you do with the wax sell make candles ?

Hi Jeff do you ever sell your capping wax ?

Can you put a five frame on top

Have you ever considered adding some Hydrogen peroixde during the cooking process?

Is the abbey a monastery are you a brother or a monk
