Lol, I love the black stripes on the yellow bee bucket.

You guys make real videos, I could smell that mildew when you walked into that RV!! Ha Ha. Oh and do you guys believe in stopping at the stop signs? Not Hollywood stops but real stops? Love you guys, I've learned so much about bees and didn't even realize I needed to know this stuff. Mr. Ed your happy, joyful spirit is contagious, keep doing what you do.

I’m very allergic to bees 🐝 but your videos fascinate me so much! God bless you and all of your bees from up in Ohio.

Hi Mr Ed and good time Charlie god bless you both

I for one like the drive to the location. Your towns are entirely different than anything I have seen in Canada. Given people have been in Louisiana longer than people have been in Canada it is no wonder....yet still what a wonder. I watch most videos on 1.5 or faster as I am a data consuming machine but the drive.... I take that at regular and stopped to look at some buildings. Although at this 'time' it looks run down at some 'time' some one made huge investment in building three story brick buildings. It was a different 'time' when the towns were built and now 'times' have changed but the town has not. thanks again for showing us your world.

I love these guys so much!! 💜⚜️💜

Hi Mr Ed I got my bees last night they are lovely 22 -9-2023 when and checked on the girls next day Friday and they were bringing in pollen I didn’t believe it first day

Hello Jeff! Imagine my pleasant surprise to be mentioned at 13:51 and having you take the time to point out that entrance location :) I hope you entered that data in your log-book ;) A coffee break very well spent, and what a fascinating opportunity! I wish you a very Merry Christmas!

Thank you Jeff

Our average humidity here is 10%-15% year round at 7,800 ft elev. We don't worry about moisture. We worry about varreo mites. Moth beetles can't take hold. Too cold and dry.

I never knew that honeycomb could have mold like grow on it. Is the mold growing on the wax cappings itself or is it actually is the honey? Very curious to know.

Whatever you did with those moldy combs, I hope you got rid of them. Breathing in the mold spores is really bad for your longs.

What a shame about the big van

Why not just bounce them on a queen excluder to find the queen easier/quicker?

Love seeing you both Wrangling Bee's. This one was nasty with all the mold but you were able to save and give the Bee's a nice home. Yes, love seeing the Bee's marching into the box!! God Bless and stay safe.

Another great video! The "March of The Bees" is really something else! Even more impressive when the video is sped up! Too bad the queen wasn't found. But they looked like they were more than willing and ready to occupy their new home. Congratulations to you and their new keepers!

Darn trailers with all the pressboard and laminates are nasty mold traps. The rows of comb leading away from the entrance and small opening, very interesting. Thank you Jeff, His Blessings upon you.

Looks like the bees are lucky y’all got them outta there. What a mess. I hope JP is doing alright. I miss him posting videos. Thanks for sharing and letting me tag along :)

Mug up with Jeff and Charlie. Good morning from New Hampshire. Thanks for sharing. Wow, it looks like the weight of the comb put the sag in that cabinet!

Closed up a colony the other day and think wet was a huge factor, it looks to be a wet Winter up here in the NW this year. Ty for sharing your time always a pleasure to see ya in action.

Great video guys! Those are some tough Louisiana bees with some good gentle genetics.

Thank you for showing the recolonization. I love the bee march. Great video!

Great video, with wrangled bees and with a pro ending sequence… much appreciated

Always like the cutout videos, thanks for showing this to us.

Thanks!

Great job mr Ed! God bless!

We did a removal in Bogalusa during the spring of this year. It was a 1/4 of what y’all remove but wow you had some bees! Our removal was under the bathroom sink in a. Camper as well. We brought them back to my wife’s cousin who was starting bees for the first time. He helped me with the removal. They came in the same way and are doing well.

Great shout out to JP he is truly missed on you tube. What a hive. Lovely removal

Nice video Jeff, thanks for showing use. That's what I call working for bees. Thanks again, waiting for the next one

Those poor bees. Living in that mess was not good for them! I'm so glad they have a good home now. BTW I live in Maine and we've not had snow nor ice yet!

Friday morning, drink a cup of coffee while watching Mr Ed & Good Time in action!

Good Friday morning Mr Ed and Charlie. Hope all is well on this cold Friday morning. Take care fellas

I didn’t even know a hive could mold! 🐝🤗❤️

Haven’t seen Ralph in a while I hope he is well

Mr. Ed, what's you thoughts about Africanized bees in the lower 48 states, and have you come across them?

I haven't watched one of your videos in a while. Glad I clicked on this one.

They almost always come in the electrical cord hole! The best thing to do with that old comb and honey is to feed it back to the bees. Thanks y'all!!

Good times with Good Time Charles…. Great video once again.

Every relocation a chance to teach - well done . . .

Never having used one, do you ever suck up some smoke in the Vac before opening? Or would that mess with the pheromones possibly hindering their new hive box march? So many moving parts lol.

Great video Jeff. Enjoyed the road trip intro & the marching! Keep em coming.

Always get a kick from you two wranglers. Merry Christmas!

Love the walk in. Amazing how they communicate and organize. Good video. Thanks. See you soon at HL conference. God bless.

Looks like a nasty job campers leak bad wet you always do a great job yourself mr ed good time Charlie God bless

WOW Amite has really gone down since I was last there 50 years ago. All those businesses were still open when I was there.

If you scrape off the mold could the bees clean out the honey if you just leave it by another hive?

First mold but now hopefully the hive doesn't turn into a mite community center. Would a hive ever get that bad in normal equipment?

I think that's my cue to get an Everything bee vac.

AHA! I knew it was time for a coffee break!

love the bee march. Merry Christmas to you, your family & Friends

Looks like Ralph was a good teacher and you were a quick learnerr and Charley was where he was supposed to be. A Jesus weekend to yall and THANKS! Yappyfied Bee Person also likes the bees going marching in as well. Me 2!

Well done

Beautiful Amite. I stayed at a haunted plantation home there after Katrina. Good to see you guys.

Mr Ed and Good Time Charlie, Confucius says BEE careful and BEE safe !! Going to get really cold right before Christmas ! It coming !

So, I guess if they find a suitable place they will march in even if they don't detect a queen in it? I thought you needed the queen in the box in order to attract the worker bees.

we had three hives and are now down to one. I tried very hard to make sure they were all ventilated. Bees and rain just don't mix!! The surviving hive has a tarp over it. I saw bees the other day but we're barely just starting the wet winter season :/

That honey will fight of bacterial infection with all that penicillin in it....lol......Mr. Ed, sir you are a joy to watch a breath of fresh air for all Christians out there. Thank you

I put a small bowl or dry rice and a few pieces of newspaper at the top of my hives and change it out every 7 to 10 days ( i have only 4 hives) but this works pretty well to control the moisture. Each week the rice has enlarged and the newspaper is moist to the touch so absorption is happening

The advice I've seen from many beekeepers about moldy/mildew is to feed it to a stromg colony. The bees clean it up and most molds that grow on honeycomb is harmless to humans and bees, (I heard it does taste gross though). That said, if I had spare clean comb, I would definitely use that instead. Great video, thanks for sharing.

Nice removal. Is that trailer where Ralph lives? I hear you'll be signing a tshirt for me 👍

Does the mold affect the health of the bees?

Please pray for my son Steve- he had a stroke on friday and is in ICU at this time! Thank you Mr Ed!

Hello Jeff, loved the video, keep on making more. lol. I have a question about your vertical splits. In January, when you rotate your hives, your queen will be in the bottom box now. Then around mid March she has moved back up and laying in the top box, then you put a double screen divider board between the two boxes, all the field bees will return and go to the bottom box. My question is, how does the bottom box raise a queen if there are no eggs in there box? I know they will be bringing in stores to the bottom box but I haven't figured out how they raise a queen without 1 or 2 day old eggs to raise a queen. Help me understand. Thanks Brother and have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.

I'd like to know why you wanted to cage the queen? They are her bees so they wouldn't attack her. I'm just curious.

My 3 times great-grandmothers family were from Amite, Louisiana. My 2 times great-grandfather was born and raised near Alexandria, Louisiana.🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝

WhooooooHoooooo l ain't late....Man all of that nasty mold.....Thanks Mr Ed & Good time Charley.... Bye

Mr Ed. Were you bothered by the tornadic activity?

Have you heared of neonikotinoids? Jonathan Lundgren, etymologist? I would like to know more about it.

Perhaps it wasn't the best move to take these bees to a town named "a MITE"!!!! heheheheheheheeee

Nice scenery footage. Your turning into the Dirt Rooster!

That was one heck of a lot of mold. So said but at least it feed some bees..

oh boy

THAT has GOT to be the NASTIEST job EVER!!!

That is some mold.

Chinese, Mexican, HELLUUUUUUU, you are in Loooooweeeezzzzzanner, ... where be the Frenchy Toast! 😱😁🤪🤣👍👍🇺🇸

That honey is gonna be as tasty as French moldy cheese... Just charge more for the boutique flavor lol.

Looks like the mildew was in the center likely due to lack of ventilation

Send that old moldy comb to me. My bees are tougher than those old Louisiana trailer trash bees. Mine will scrape off the mold and use it to paint the landing board.

Mr. Ed a gross majority of this comb is covered with mold.

with that much mold you should have been wearing a filter mask

Packed out! That ain't mold, its white wash. Them are fashion minded girls. Bees don't mind it in my experience. They will clean it up.

Good idea NOT to take the honey for human consumption. There are mold spores that are NOT visible on the rest of the comb, for sure!!

You could've titled this "What A Day in the Life of The Dirt Rooster is like" no queen but you got lunch lol - sorry Randy, just playin'

yuk

2 timmars arbete? LOL

That honey was ok. You just need to boil it & it will good to eat again. 🙄 i thing you already have to much that's y you do not want to waste time on it.

That's a nasty camper

Its that blue cheese honey lol with the mold on it haha may go good with it ya never know lol
