Each colony has its own temperament. I have one super-nice one and one that is extremely defensive, to the point they will actually come find you, 50 feet away, and sting you. Most of my other hives are somewhere between the two, with most of them being fairly gentle. That said, I will be replacing the queen in the mean hive with a queen from the super-nice one. Beekeeping is supposed to be a fun activity, not a battle...

Dang, if those bees aren't Africanized, I'd hate to see ones that were!!! That hive was ginormous! You should get quite a bit of honey and wax from that hive. If there isn't a queen in there I hope they start making queen cells to create one right away. Even though it'll be a LOT of work, given the precarious state of our bees it's such a blessing to have so many thriving hives. If you decide to cut back on your hive numbers after the harvest, you can spread that wealth and love out to other private bee keepers in the area so that the expansion continues. You boys have a special thing going and a wonderful partnership. Your friendship is perhaps the biggest blessing of all. It creates joy for you both, and on top of that you use your friendship to collaborate to make a difference in the world. I really appreciate what you're doing for the bees and for all us who want to learn and expand the work of fostering our pollinators. Many thanks.

Despite the disclaimers made, there's actually no way to determine whether or not they are Africanized with any certainty outside of lab analysis. This is emphasized in many manuals and by various beekeeping associations, etc. Genetic testing or morphometric analysis of the wings are the standards, but access to that testing is another matter.

Carole, thank you very much for your kind words about the work and friendship between Charlie and myself, we both feed off each other in the relationship. I knew there would be much discussion on the attitude of these bees, and regardless of what other viewers may say or think, and I do respect their opinions, these bees were NOT Africanized. The issue these bees had was they were queen less and as such, they were in stress. Now that the colony is queen right, I gave them a new queen, their attitude has reversed 180 degrees. Like the saying goes, you can't judge a book by it's cover. Again, thank you for your kind words and for all the time you spend following along with Charlie's and my bee wrangling adventures. Until the next one, God's peace. Mr. Ed

Maybe this topic gets a lot more discussion and lectures in Arizona.

Looks like another great removal! It took a second to figure out why the Charlie was showing us dance moves in the middle of a removal. I have used honey bandit in the smoker, I just place a bit of news paper to the top so it holds the liquid and gets steamed off. I'll use the news paper to spray down and place in the attic just in case I need to remove the pressure for whatever reason. Once it's sprayed directly it's hard to remove that pressure later. I do keep the orientation of the combs as well, but it's to make sure the comb goes sideways or upside down so they won't reuse it after it emerges. That way they work brood and foundations or comb I have for them. A month later I can remove their old comb without having anything left in them.

I post these videos, to show just how important bees are to our very survival, and why we should not just kill them out of ignorance. I have been rescuing bees from being needlessly destroyed for over 14 years now, and hope to continue to do so for many more years to come. Thanks for watching, and I hope you will check out more of my bee wrangling/ bee rescues adventures and let me know what you think of them. By the way, I post a new video every Friday morning, and I look forward to hearing from you again soon. God's peace. Mr. Ed

@@JeffHorchoff Of course, bees are the real farmers, but they are insects and are very different from us. It's clear you are a devoted and courageous steward. I was just trying to emphasize on the _exponential_ (aggregation/growth) of the bees; and much of what nature does. It aggregates.

Wow we should have 7ft hives what a monster 👾.

Cold grumpy bees😮😊

Wow!! Huge hive! Have a blessed weekend, my friend 🙏😊👍🤗

Awesome Hive , so far think its the biggest one I have seen you harvest so far , Thank you

I am a huge fan of yours Mr. Ed . I watched most / all of your videos . I'm always waiting for another videos that you will post again . I like the way you do to rescue those precious bees and you are very good in explaining it .

They may not have been Africanized but they sure seem pretty aggressive. You're a brave man Jeff.

Dang, those were some po'd bees. Those were some tough girls. That was absolutely nuts. Hey, Charlie, you're quick for an old dude. 😅 (I can say that at 60+ because I'm not) We love you Charlie ❤. The size of that hive was amazing.

I can't fault those bees at all for being so angry at first, I would hate to be awaken early on a chilly morning with my roof being torn off while I was all toasty under a blanket. I wish the viewers could have seen what I saw as Charlie was making a rapid departure as I opened the hive, a cloud of bees all over the camera he was holding. I never saw Charlie move that quick before. Thanks for watching. God's peace Karen. Mr. Ed

Enjoyed the video! A suggestion: A microphone would really enhance the audio quality and make your awesome humor even more enjoyable. Keep up the great work! 👍🎤

WOW what a hive. It looks as if it is as large at the last one. Love it.

If they didn't have a laying queen, would that explain why they were so aggressive when you opened the wall?

Looks like that hive has been there a while by looking at the comb inside it and the dark color of it . Wonder how much honey is actually in the hive or if it is all brood Mr. Ed

I removed about 8 or 9 pounds of bees and got almost 5 gallons of honey from these girls. What an awesome hive! Thanks for watching. God's peace James. Mr. Ed
