If it's a duck box, why are there bees in it?

Whew, when it let go I actively cringed. I was waiting for the box to fall out of the tree entirely and explode. I'm glad it didn't, but I was afraid it would. Good job!

Mr. Ed, I just want to say that I love your videos. Keep up the great work

Good to hear that the bees were still buzzing instead of quacking...nice catch Mr, Ed.

Hahahaaaa. Your honey came down rambling. I like the enthusiasm. Am now a new beekeeper. Thank you Jesus.

Good job there Mr. Ed! I was very concerned that the box was going break up into pieces when it dropped in a rolling swing. I was relieved to see it stay in one piece. I knew you had it from there on. Great video and good save on that queen. If those bees only knew that you were only helping them, you would never get a sting. Keep on wrangling Mr. Ed, and I'll keep watching. Rick

As I watch this video, I realize how determined you are to reach your goal of 100 hives.

Wow, what a big bunch of bees! And when that comb flopped out. Ouch! That's a Lord, you've got to bee kidding me, moment. Or worse! Good finish for a messy, difficult job. Peace 😻

Love it!!! I've never seen so many bees in one place. Great job in getting the box down. Congrats on getting the queen!!!

Watching your love for the Bees...as always a great way to start the day.....Thanks!

Thank you for sharing your video with the world, Mr Ed! It’s great how God blesses us with these types of scenarios and we can share the experience with others. I’ve started making bee related YouTube videos this year as well and enjoy it so much. As I have said previously, your channel inspired me and I always enjoy watching!

Lovely swarm Mr Ed, great job !  more please

Great video, always liked taking swarms and watching them build up over the season. Too old to do it now.

Good job as always, thanks for videoing the whole thing, God is with you.

I really love watching you (and other bee keepers) capture and relocate swarms, not to mention how you reclaim the honey and wax you collect. I was watching a Bee Keeper (can't remember who) collect a swarm within the last year and he made a good observation, that when someone vacuums up bees the wind, to the bees, is like us being snatched by a tornado and smashed against multiple plastic walls before finally being deposited in the vacuum box. He observed that that condition is why so many bees die while being captured by a vacuum box so he replaced his ribbed hose with a smooth hose and found that most, if not all, of the bees survived the vacuum capture. Suggestion; replace the ribbed plastic hose that you normally get with a wet/dry vacuum with a smooth hose. After all, you want as many bees collecting honey for the Abbey as you can get, right?

This guy never has to worry about a honey do list. He can just tell his wife the bees must've took it.

You need to get some of those wood and screen queen cages for this sort of thing. They are small enough that you can attach them into a frame without them being too wide, and then you just plug the hole with bee candy and they will let her out in a day or so so they stay with the new hive. Cody Reeder (Cody's Lab) uses them all the time.

Looks like they built there home on sand the way it all came crashing down. The poison ivy caught my attention. Good stuff, thanks.

I just watched all your videos. hello from Connecticut. God bless

Nice Job Mr. Ed. You made it look a lot easier than I know it probably was. Either way you got the job done and a nice colony of bees. I plan on putting out a few swarm boxes in the spring and see how that goes. If nothing else I may catch my own bees if they swarm without me knowing.

As you’re framing up the comb I see what’s in the box start to slowly fall I’m screaming “oh No Oh No don’t fall” lol
