Why Mr. Ed Uses Premier Boxes & Frames

We had the pleasure of catching up with the one and only Jeff “Mr. Ed” Horchoff at the North American Honey Bee Expo!

Jeff Horchoff, affectionately known as "Mr. Ed," is a passionate beekeeper and educator based in Louisiana. A retired postal worker, he keeps bees at St. Joseph Abbey in Covington and shares his beekeeping experiences and knowledge through his YouTube channel, "Jeff Horchoff Bees," where he educates and entertains a growing audience of beekeeping enthusiasts.

In this interview, Mr. Ed breaks down the woodworking science behind Premier's half-blind dovetail joints and why he prefers Premier for his frames and boxes!

Mr. Ed also shares a sneak peek into his apiary management plans for the 2026 season! He discusses his strategy of shifting from a 10-frame to a 9-frame setup in his honey supers and changing how he rotates his drawn comb.
