We get these nice big healthy hives once in a while and as much work as they are to remove they are always enjoyable, even more so when a friend comes to help. I always like the vertical hives that are at or close to ground level where we can stand on the ground for most of the removal. Spending hours on a ladder can be torture for knees, feet and shins but these are fun. This eight foot tall bee hive had a lot of bees and they had approximately 180 pounds of honey hoarded hidden in a garage wall. The hive was literally top plate to bottom plate in the framing of an exterior garage wall. It ranged from sixteen inches in width to 38 inches across the top half and was up to six inches thick across much of it considering it filled the stud cavity and the space between the brick and builder board. I say approximately on the honey weight because I didn't weigh it but we left with four full buckets of comb and honey and a bunch of brood in a ten frame deep Langstroth box with a little honey in it too. That's over twenty gallons of honey and wax with a little air space so I'm figuring about 15 gallons of honey after the wax is removed. At twelve pounds per gallon that makes one hundred and eighty pounds. I fed all of it to the bees in my apiary this winter.

You guys really need a show. Maybe with your competitor so we can see your bantering and your annual competition. Entertaining and educational every time. Love it! I will watch you over any sports program any day.
That's saying a lot. Sports are pretty great. lol
Those bees are so chill. You're ripping open the wall in front of them a nd theyre just hangin out
Looks like two bears raiding some honey
Yogi and Boo boo
Bahhhahaha!
You're gonna need a bigger picnic basket if you find more hives like that one...
ZombieFeathers agee
Im dead hahah! Hey Boo Boo, wheres the picketnet basket?
Whatever they paid you to remove those bees, it wasn't enough. My stomach cringed when you said you'd have to take out more rock because the comb was behind the black board. As if that wasn't enough, you had to deal with comb that was built around all those hanging wires. Great removal given the hand you were given. When we get together to do a removal, make sure it's not as difficult as this one, I really don't want to see no soaking wet Rooster. God's peace brother.
Jeff Horchoff : A soaking wet Rooster! :-))) You two B-Keepers are good entertainment.
Both of y’all need to stop gabbing and get more videos out! You both have a very addictive audience here that needs there regular fix!
Oh and because of you two we’re going to be setting up hives of our own!
But he really could use your sawhorse table to deal the brood comb.
I've got your back bro. I got this nice little hive picked out for you. I't be like picking an apple off a low branch.
I'll admit that I got a great amount of satisfaction and respect when I saw the hive frames being filled to be used and also when you said you'd be possibly getting some queens out of the bees you were able to get. Knowing that beekeepers like yourself and others don't just go out to arbitrarily kill the bees simply for existing, albeit in a garage wall but they're only doing what comes naturally - really makes me feel good about what you do.
And seeing that you fed all of the honey to the bees is just freaking awesome. You have my respect, friend. Please don't stop doing what you're doing.
Just subscribed to your channel. As a person who is allergic to bee stings (and subsequently terrified of them), I find that it's so amazing to see how you deal with them so patiently and kindly. They may scare the jeebs out of me, I have respect for them and for you.
Amazing work, sir.
You know, at 14 years of age, I am already loving bee removals from these guys!
Samuel Bowling agree
Your age has nothing to do with anything.
Samuel Bowling never too young to start
Yes , it addictive !
You also have phenomenal grammar! Indicative of intelligence :-D
He’s talking about tart cherry juice. It’s great for nerve pain which is why people use is for arthritis. My grandmother has used it for years for her neuropathy. Try buying it on amazon and it need to be organic and concentrated
Thanks for the info.
I buy it right from the local orchard!
that was huge, that queen was a busy bee
Ha ha
Whoa, an 18 minute Dirt Rooster with bacon and skateboarding. Who needs the Super Bowl?!
That's right. :)
Trueeeeeeeeee
14:42 - Cue incredibly intense and dramatic beekeeping spy music. Highly entertaining.
Just watching you guys smoke the hive and bees is making me get satisfied by the smoke hitting the wall! I'm so weird. Lol
Loved the beginning. So fun and cute music. 🤠
The Government should pay you big money for what you do.The Bees are so vital to the crops and to all plants and trees.
Your content is very well done... I love Bee Keeping and the more I watch the more I miss it..
Thanks for watching :)
very smart framing the brood the same direction they were laid, I didn't think of that
That's lots of honey to share with family and friends. The kids will probably like it. Honey is very healthy because it contains anti-oxidents. Good for your circulatory system.
Omg, all this honey. That's liquid gold.
The FLIR view was awesome.
Hey Rooster I pray you and your family are doin great Amen.
Great to see you back, and with a removal of a massive hive!
Thanks Marco
I tell ya. Sometimes I forget to check in on your channel and I get to come back for several relaxing videos at once! A good night.
Don't forget about us.
Never! Your videos are relaxing! Just an honest smile and bees.
Hey man I'm pretty new to your channel but I've been binge watching.
I will say I am a little more informed about the removal and treatment of these sometimes scary creatures. Your walk-through and commentary in the process is definitely appreciated. And thanks for answering questions in the comment section.
My pleasure.
I see the bees have done some wiring in the hive.....
Seeing you dip your bacon in honey reminds me of a poem...
Turns out they were stealing cable and power.
AWESOME intro. Love to see your evolving your videos. Thanks for always making quality content!
Thanks Efrain. I work hard on them but I'm still never satisfied.
That's the mindset! Stay wanting to improve. Just know that I knew nothing about bee keeping, I hated bees, and didn't understand them at all. After being subscribed to you, you gave me a whole new appreciation of this amazing creature! Thanks!
Thanks bro.
Efrain Gonzalez agree
I agree, production quality A+!
Love seeing the removals it's so interesting how the bees react. As well as how much they can produce.
Though I'm curious as to what that white liquid was. I am assuming that that was liquid from the brood but not sure.
Royal jelly is produced by the workers to feed the brood.
Gotta praise your cinematography man. Love the camera work and little things like the skating at the end. Plus this was shot in 4k! Love all your work!
Trying to make quality. Thanks for the comment.
Another good one
Thanks y'all. Looked like a good conference in your last vid.
Wow that’s a lot of bees now GOD BLESS.
these make me crave honey, tasty stuff
I still don't get how people can't hear that they got thousands of bee's in their walls.
If you have tintinnus it can completely blank out certain frequencys
@@nyarlathotep8723 Tintinnus? lol
Did you just feed the rest of that honey back to other bee hives? Great video! Can't wait to see more.
I did. I saved it until last month and I fed it all back except about three or four gallons that they'll get later. They love me.
@@628DirtRooster lmao... well... the really do love that you take such good care of them and I guess you could say ... your kinda like a God to them.... reaching into walls, pulling them apart, putting them into a nicer condo, feed and pamper them..ect lol
better stock up on the bacon with that load of honey.
Apple wood smoked bacon dipped in summer honey. Nothing better.
OkieRob agee
eating dead body parts? are you sick bro??
Justin Tyme b a c o n
Honey found in the walls of houses could be laced with asbestos. No thanks!
This guy is awesome. Great videos too. Well edited. I've also learned that those channels that just kill all the honey bees are a waste... even though that particular person claims they are all killer bees.
*Smoked Honey Bacon* !!! 5:07
Looked like allot of work on this one. Nice job.
You live in a beautiful area. Nice job on the hive. Have a great week!!!
We love the coast.
I'm so happy to see you back again this spring coming spring I've missed you a whole lot I miss watching your videos so I can't wait to see what you got planned for the rest of the summer good luck bad. From Ohio
Should be a good year. :)
Just subd to your channel. Great information and very useful to help understand what a removal should look like. Keep up the good work.
Wow, that’s a tall bee hive!
Sure was. More than I expected.
Beautiful brood pattern!
These videos are so unique. I really enjoy watching :D
That part where you dipped the bacon in the honey had me in tears. That was funny.
Great flavor combo. :)
How long did it take the home owners to notice this hive? It looks like it’s been there for quite some time.
Not sure. It's been there for years. The only reason they wanted it removed is the lawn service guy wouldn't come back until it was gone.
That’s goin to be a huge bunch of bees now.
also hat at the end with the orange text looks awesome ha.
I'll be selling them as soon as I get my web site finished.
My nap can wait!!! This is so interesting!!! That honey looks good!!! Nice job and bravery!
Thanks for the comment.
Great to see you're back.
Paul Coulter agee
Why can I not stop watching this videos? lol
Great video Rooster be safe GOD BLESS.
Great to see you again
The Man Called X agree
You guys are sweating there and it's snowing here. Three inches so far. Another nice video!
Haha
Thanks for the great vid. Just got done checking on my hives and put up a swarm trap...weird year for bees in Oregon it's still February and my girls are bringing in tons of pollen.
I need to get my traps out.
that honey bacon though.
Love it: at 7:38 you tell him nope - turn it right side up. Just watched a video a couple days ago of about six people in brand new bee suits, framing up comb the wrong way. Hopefully the bees will survive and those folks will watch your video and discover there is a right way and a wrong way to orient comb when it is framed up. Actually one right way and three wrong ways. Keep the good videos coming !!
Gotta teach them right. :)
The videos just keep getting better and better..... even if I have watched them before....a few times!! Lol. But seriously, Randy, you already know this but you really need to be a photographer or filming movies! 🎥.. anyways.. thanks again!! From Surrey B.C 🇨🇦 ... my 2 6 year Olds and my 8 year old daughters all love you and your crew of friends and family!
I like Todd as your partner. He works well with you.
He just lives too far away.
love this cutout. and again you had bacon. winner.
Also honey-dipped bacon is becoming a sensation across the south thanks to this video! Before long we will be able to get honey dipping sauce with our bacon at the window of every Wendys!
That's the plan. Got to push these things.
Great video. Nice and long with a great haul home. Can't wait for the next one. Peace!
Peace!
That's a lot of honey, great job! Really like that beach as opposed to the 2 and a half feet of snow we have! LOL!
28 miles of beach here. :)
Great video, lots of work lol! Nice to see you back! Always enjoy yours & Jeff's videos!
Yes, LOTS of work. :)
Here in the UK that's £1000 of honey. Nice!
Hope your girls produce another queen, or accept another, since their old one is now singing Oh, Suzzanna, going to Alabama with a banjo on their knee's. XD
LOL
I think I speak for everyone but I sure am glad you are back!
Thanks a lot
good stuff, hard work !! thanks
love your videos brother God bless you and yours
Fascinating....just fascinating. Why does smoke settle them down???
That was an awesome amount of brood.
Always nice to see a strong hive like that.
I could say a few things but I gotta know.......is that honestly your real hair? I'm mean, who has hair that thick at 60? Hmmmmm!
Yappy Beeman
What?! There is no way he's 60.....
Right?
It's the hair tonic I get up at the Chevron. Keeps me young looking with a head full of hair.
628DirtRooster you are not 60!!
LOL 48
Real honey comb ❤️❤️
Lol that cheeky guilty smile after you tried the honey bacon! 😂
Haha!
I know nothing about beekeeping, and im not even sure how i ended up here, but man was that interesting.
Glad you found us.
QUESTION: Honey comes in different colors depending on the plants the bees are harvesting and, maybe, the kind of bee. Does the wax vary in color, too?
It does
The intro was really funny to me for some reason. Grinning like a mad man
Was it the sand waddle? lol
For those of you wondering if cherry juice helps with arthritis and stiff joints. It works. But make sure it’s pure cherry juice. Been using it for years. It’s also great for Gout .
Nice pollen caps!
I'm not one hundred percent on this idea, but in heavy wind bees ground themselves. So I was wondering if you could use a construction fan, it would keep you cool an keep the bee's off you as well. I agree with a comment that was a hard job. Thank You Loader.
Does it kill the bee's when you vacuum them up?
That looks so yummy 🤤
It’s amazing, you already have leaves on your trees and bees
in the walls. Here in the Black Hills of SD we have snow and cold. Should get
down to minus 2 tonight. Our leaves won’t bud out until early April. With our
first swarms around May first.
Y'all are a little behind us but this video was recorded in August I think.
Love the music in the video, that honey must have been a treat for your bees in the winter :)
My bees made very short work of that honey.
When the video popped up of the skating I recognized that spot immediately. I live in Gulfport so I'm going to have to subscribe now
Hi neighbor
That's weird I go to school in BSL. Go rocks
As long as a feller takes his time and goes slow and easy seems like they don’t get to excited. Bacon makes the world go round lollllllllllllll
Man Randy that looks tough and very messy. However lots of honey. How much strained out honey did you get from that hive?
You are the greatest brother I wish I could face my fears and suit with ya.
Do it Fred. You won't regret it. We'll Maybe. lol
Great video Randy !!👊🏻🔱
You pick THE best music. Dude, I’ve wasted an entire evenin watchin your vidyas. No regrets at all haha
LOL
What is the last song on the vid??
Yes, cherry juice is very good for gout - try frozen black or Bing cherries a handful a night makes gout go away quickly
Eliminating dairy can really help with autoimmune diseases like arthritis. Find a milk substitute you like. I prefer oat milk when I need milk like product, but all tastes are different.
There should be a noticeable difference in days. It really helped my seasonal allergies be more bearable and I rarely need aleve now.
Sorry if this is repeat. I read through a few comments and didn’t see.
Thanks for all the great videos! I’ve learned so much. Finally googled nucs . 😊
That honey looks like brownies! 😁
My sweet tooth is starting to drool! 🦷😁
I bet there's not another more rewarding job in the world.
Hi there! Question for you - is the honey usable on this or is the drywall dust a problem?
It needs to be filtered for human consumption but it is usable.
Well that is great to know
It was fed back to bees.
zzz43452
I’ll take it asbestos I can.
Super BEE man! Dude that is awesome!
I have a question, what would you say the minimum space needed to keep bees? I have a decent amount of space between the neighbors and I and I was wondering if I'd be an annoyance to my neighbors or not.
They likely won't even know you have them unless you tell someone or they can see your boxes.
Great job
That was one BIG hive! Every time you zoomed in it looked like it was slowly raining honey! =)
Loved your intro clips, they look great! Keep up the awesome camera work! =D
It really was raining honey. We had to hose the garage out when we were done.
loved the intro stuff. LOL
kckrye agree
When you're removing a hive from a house can you remove it without cutting into the outside of the house?
Such a cool removal; I wonder if this was a record haul of honey.
I've gotten more than that a few times but not many.
LandoHitman agree
Great cut out . I use those square buckets like you
Had on the back of your truck but this year I are having trouble finding them can you share where you found them at . It is good that you have found time after a busy season to share a video of yours . Thanks for bringing us along on it . THANKS
We used to get those from Winn Dixie in the deli. They were used icing buckets. I haven't gotten any in a couple of years but they used to be free.
@@628DirtRooster Thanks I will check into that . I was getting the ones I got from restaurants, they were Mayonnaise buckets but when Covid came the company that sold it to
The restaurant raised the price ( I think) like $18 just for the bucket so they changed to a wax cardboard box with a plastic bag for the mayo . I did not think about checking with a Deli . THANKS
