Not sure about you but when I pull over an look an old building over I love to think back and try to imagine what it was like back in the day and visualize people spaces and everyone going about their business… it’s a piece of history “forgotten by most” I love to see thro your lens land and places I would love to see but never will. So it like a vacation down memory lane for me ❤
After reading the comments, it seems like the majority of us LIKE the pictures of towns, scenery, art photography, old stuff. Thank you for including that content.
@ I am not a 🐝 keeper and I love your channel. I just ordered honey from you and Elizabeth. Thanks for posting videos. Never boring, always worth a second watch.
Randy, as Landscape and Historic Architectural photographers of 37 years when the Lord led my wife and I to move to Northeastern Tennessee we wondered why in the world would He lead us to a church and area where we knew no one. When we made our way to our new home and started to see the Mountainous Beauty and Historic Architecture it became clear that He knew, of course, exactly where He was sending us. We will never run out of new things to photograph and the new friends are warm and loving. We also have learned when we hear, "Well bless their little heart" exactly what that means😅🤣😂. Thank you for your wonderful videos and be blessed abundantly. John here, photographing the beauty of the back-roads of Northeastern Tennessee, y'all.
@@robinredman5192 Seeing old historic houses makes me want to rescue them before they disappear. Now I am old and broken down (my back hurts) but with God’s help and physical therapy, perhaps I can still do some good. My mom was born in Tennessee so I feel drawn there.
What a great life supporting your family doing what you love for four decades almost. Yes, "bless your heart" is a dual meaning phrase in the south. You almost have to hear the inflection in someone's voice to know the true meaning when someone blesses someone else's heart. LOL I'd love to see your work some time.
@@628DirtRooster Yes Sir Randy, to do what you love is a blessing beyond measure. I often say to others, He is all around us, if we just take the time to see. It is my goal to hopefully let others see the beauty He has given us, whether it be landscapes or things He inspires man to create. I very much enjoy your photographs. You have a great eye and the photos express a moment in time that no one else can capture. They tell a story and evoke an emotional response😀. When someone is great with the delivery of, "Well Bless Their Little Heart", it just 😆😅🤣 is priceless. John here.
I usually offer people to open up the wall, put in a piece of plexiglass, and seal up the wall from inside to keep bees from getting into the house. Then hang a curtain over the wall, and they have a WONDERFUL observation hive! Nobody ever seems to really like the idea... go figure!
The guy from antique archiology, Mike Wolf has been buying and restoring old buildings in my hometown of Columbia Tennessee. Great video rooster!!! As always, great work sir!!!
Great video, unexpected photography. As a photographer myself, I enjoyed it all. I predate the Interstate system. Two lanes crossed the country, no yellow lines. You were lucky to find a highway with a dashed white centerline. Restrooms were found only at the rare service station and you appreciate the seviceman who would supply you with a key. Sometimes that required a purchase weather you needed to buy something or not. It's nice that you recognize people from other places enjoy you photographs. Yes, I live 90 miles from anywhere, well, except the Blue Ridge Honey Company which is about 25 miles from here. Thanks for the great "cutout" video.
My first assignment in the Air Force was Columbus, MS. One of my first purchases was a Canon AE1 camera. A buddy and I would quite often jump in his truck and drive with no particular destination in mind just to take pictures of anything we could find. What a great time. That was 1985. I still have the pictures down in the basement.
@@fredcookerly9385 canon AE1!! Cool. I had a manual Pentax K1000 in high school and in the Navy and always wanted the fancy, dancy Canon AE1😁😁. Still have the K1000 and need to find new mirrors for it….
good lord. Your editing has gotten really good. Especially speeding up the video while keeping the sound at the same speed. The content hasn't suffered at all either. I think we all really like the extra pictures and scenery
Good one Randy.The opening had me laughing so hard. Im a smalltown Kentucky boy that totally gets it.Pictures last forever and seem to always make us feel and relive past times. We are placed at that spot at that perfect time for a reason i think.Thanks for sharing.
Such a different geography from up here in Prince George BC Canada. Our pine trees are a bit more compact, both in size and in closeness ( forsets are dence) But then the growing season is not that long. Winter is roughly 6 months(feels that way anyway) -40 is not unheard of either. In the snow years 6feet of snow is not uncommon. The wild neighborhood brings black and sometimes grizzly bears to town. Just two days ago we had moose in the front yard. Could only tell by the poop left behind. I'm sure no one wants pics of that. Thanks Randy for the bee and geography lessons, keep up the good work!
Yea man, that relaxing music with footage, I'm in. looking forward to the new channel.27:52 forward is definitely the signature. Right place, right time.
I really enjoyed this video, I love watching you drive. You were talking about new neighbors who came from Arizona and didn’t know what fog was, I had a new neighbor who came running over at like six in the morning, screaming that there’s rats on her front porch and rats on her back porch and she doesn’t know what to do so I went and looked and she had a chipmunk. I worked very hard not to laugh and once I compose myself enough, I said they’re chipmunks. They’re harmless. Poor thing it just moved out of the city and she had no idea what a chipmunk was. She was a good neighbor though. They wanted you to remove the bees with Mom still sleeping in the room😂😂. Thank you for taking us along.
LOL, that's awesome! I live in south central Oklahoma, in the foothills of the Arbuckle Mountains. My folks retired to a little gated lake community just outside town, it's mostly retired folks just like them, but a few younger families. One of their newer neighbors told them she moved out to the country "for some peace and quiet", she was a city-born-and-bred girl but wanted a change. Not long after she moved out there, she came running into my folks' yard, screaming for Dad to bring his gun and come to her house--a coachwhip snake was trying to get into her house and she wanted Dad to kill it. He asked her, did she like mice getting into her house? She replied, "Of course not! Mice are nasty!" so he told her it was not a good idea to kill that snake, the snake would keep her mice under control. He calmly caught the snake and moved it out to her equipment shed. She also called them one night, wanting to know how bad were the wolves here? She had heard the coyotes yipping and singing, and thought we had packs of ravenous wolves here. Bless her heart! 😂
Love the scenery. Born and raised in Texas and pretty well traveled across all the southern states, Florida to Arizona. I love it all. In my mid 50's I married a fellow from Maine who just never got off the Eastern US till moving to Texas. After a family death we needed to go to Arizona for a funeral. That trip across west Texas, New Mexico and Arizona my entertainment was watching my "new" husband watching scenery. And yup, I even took pictures of him gawking at the wide open desert and mountains. There's just nothing like enjoying God's wide ranging creation. And seeing somebody you love having those jaw dropping reactions is also a gift of God.
Rooster you are nuts with that intro lol. The town I live in, Gideon Mo., had 1100 people when I was a kid, I'm 48 now and the population is down to about 800. We got a Casey's general store, a mechanic shop, a body shop, a school, and 5 churches.
I lived in the desert in Nevada for a while, the beauty of the land was astounding!❤ If you go, stop you car, take a walk, climb a hill, drive up a mountain. ❤❤
Thank you for another interesting cut out. I have not yet visited Mississippi so I take particular interest in seeing the landscape & towns. Also, I like old buildings.
I should get out and video this area I live in. We have lots of old towns in Polk County, TN. like Benton, Cooper Hill , and Old Fort, TN where I live. The 1996 Summer Olympics was held in Ocoee, Also in Polk County. Lot of Lakes Rivers and Streams, and the Cherokee National Forest in the Blue Ridge Mountains is 3 miles from my house.
Quit being modest….you know that cop stopped you in order to meet the DirtRooster. I see you’re still putting in the pics you take anyhow….and that’s fine with me. I like em….pretty drive out of there. I been thru near there up in Quitman and so pretty with all the hills……oh yea, you did a removal too….thanks…great intro by the way!!
I love hill country. I think we'd live out near Alexander City, AL if all our family wasn't here. It's even nicer up there. Gotta stick the pictures in where I can. :)
You did fine for a room that full Randy. It was an interesting hive with that wide stud cavity. You never know what is hidden behind those old sheets of paneling. Folks hid a lot of sins with that stuff back in the day. Wondering if that house was built right after WWII when there were material shortages of all types. People got really creative to get walls and a roof in those days. Anyways thanks for the video.
We bought a house out of an estate many years ago. It had been built by a very eccentric man who wrote diary notes on the back of trim, wall boards, framing and so on. Even the back of the electrical panel had a big writeup of who was president, the state of the world and what graveyard and plot he could be found in. I bought the house from his brother. By the time we were done with demo for the remodel our kids wanted to tear it the rest of the way down to look for more messages.
@@628DirtRooster You ain't wrong bro. I left in 1992 when I joined the Army and just moved home. It's about an hour north of the City, in the middle of a state park, but it's changed too much. Going to head back south soon. My daughter and grandchildren live Metairie (not far from you, I think. Might go there for a bit.
Hi Randy, I love, love the photographs so much! I wouldn’t mind an entire video of them and the history behind them. I am fascinated with historical photography and architecture. For some reason, I love gargoyles! lol. Thank you for an awesome video!
I saw a dirt bike in there, when we gonna see a Bee Wrangling vid with the dirt bike? History is cool, although most youth these days don't care about history and would rather see it gone. Great job and nice tour Randy!
That is a rebuilt 96 RM250. I haven't cranked it in about three years. I hardly ever think about it anymore. I desperately need to get some seat time in soon.
The hats look good! Yessir... We know about some Buckatunna, we mosey through there going to Clarkco or Waynesboro. We always stop at Crazy K's to grab some grub. I'd been devastated, broken, and emotionally damaged at the safe situation. There all gone! Ain't know telling the history those pew pews had.
Randy, I would like to ride through Butler. I use to belong to a hunting club in Choctaw county near Jachin back from 1972 thru 1987. Sometimes I would drive to Butler for different reasons but mainly to eat at the Butler Hotel Cafe. They had good food but did not stay open very late. Back then they rolled the sidewalks in shortly after dark. It was a very old town back then and a low population. I enjoyed this video and seeing your pictures of Butler.
I had to look them up hoping to stop in on my next rip. Looks like they must be closed down. I couldn't find them on the ole intronet. Good hunting up there though. We use to hunt in Stateline AL every Thankgiving when I was growing up.
Hello🤣!! Maybe try driving over the road in an 18 wheeler! You will see a whole lot more! For me it was cool to be driving an interstate in one state or country and able to look at another state or country out my left or right window! Thanks for the memory😏!! I stop driving over the road!!
Great job on this removal as usual !!!! their Mother is lucky the bees didn't take to her sweetness and move into the room itself! I love your Photography and watch your videos to support you no matter what you are doing!!! can't say that for some of your competitors? HAHA. I highly doubt i will ever get to see Louisiana and Alabama in person, since I am now more like your father so its harder to just get around my own community! you need to start doing more Art shows! your Photography makes HRB look like a clown! wait he is one. You are very good at telling the story of the Photography. Keep doing you!!! tell me that bed was not already set up like that at check in!! YIKES
When I was a kid, my mom and I would call those rundown roach motels. If you were lucky, the sink didn't drip and there wasn't a railroad track behind the building.
Gettin' some moody shots in, gotta love it. My surname is Butler.. The Fog we get here up on Portland uk is crazy thick, some times a 5-6ft visibility. Best ones are where the top of the island is sunny but theres a bank of fog along the cliffs, its awesome pretty
A forecast of heavy fog will have me out of bed at four AM to be at the beach for sunrise. You can't see the sunrise but it makes for some interesting pictures.
Find out who did the remodel on that place, so I don’t hire them 🤣😅 so you aren’t worried about any of the sprayed bees being in the hive and contaminating the honey? You could’ve thrown a bee suit on mama🤣 Cool pics and interesting history. I grew up in a small town in NY. Surprisingly the town has never faltered. It’s home to the original (and still producing) Raymond Forklifts. It employs a lot of citizens and even has to hire from the next counties. I’ll put a link in the comments if I can find a video about the company. It’s also a huge farming community. I enjoyed the video, Randy👍👏😊💕🤗
That remodel was so old whoever did it has got to be retired or moved on the the afterlife. I’d be interested to see your home town. Lots of northern towns seem to have a richer history and more interesting architecture than southern towns.
It doesn't look like they've been in there _too_ long; the comb's not heavily stained, and if they'd been there a year or three longer, they'd have built down and filled that whole void-space. Not too bad, then; were they healthy?
@@628DirtRooster LOL, I'd say those bees are definitely candidates for having superior genetics, then, if they're that tough! Now, if only they're sweet-natured, as well~
Can you tell me more about that Milwaukee nail gun and what gage for trim like that? 16ga? Love your no-nonsense brave bee work, videos and photography of America.
Please clarify. You are using a regular shop vac to vaccum the bees? Or did you do modifications on it for the bees? If so- what are the modifications. Thanks.
There are fireproof gun safes but they are very costly! Otherwise gun safes only keep kids, and others from the guns. I have a fireproof box inside my gun safe, but nothing is 100%
Randy... can you add a bee sting counter to the corner of your video at the end? just as a fun fact? lol not fun for you but to let people know that even though you are a bee whisperer you do get stung a lot....
We don't have them here. I occasionally find a fairly defensive colony but with fourteen hundred or so removals under my belt, I've never found an Africanized colony in Louisiana, Mississippi or Alabama.
@@628DirtRoosterit's too humid in this part of the country. They like dry places like Arizona and California. Which is a good thing for us I guess. Those are some mean buggers
Where are you getting your avg salary from. Does it look that prosperous. If they were making that kind of money we would have better towns in the south.
Not sure about you but when I pull over an look an old building over I love to think back and try to imagine what it was like back in the day and visualize people spaces and everyone going about their business… it’s a piece of history “forgotten by most” I love to see thro your lens land and places I would love to see but never will.

Yes, I'm actually crazy enough to go for the offer of a observation hive in the wall. Now if I only had bees😅
I would love that!! I just don't have bees in my wall!
They're probably worried about the hive and honey attracting other bugs like ants into their house. Who wouldn't want a living wall?

I saw a dirt bike in there, when we gonna see a Bee Wrangling vid with the dirt bike? History is cool, although most youth these days don't care about history and would rather see it gone. Great job and nice tour Randy!
That is a rebuilt 96 RM250. I haven't cranked it in about three years. I hardly ever think about it anymore. I desperately need to get some seat time in soon.
@@628DirtRooster Nice Bike! It deserves some Love LOL! Thanks Randy!
Very pretty area! ❤
I think so too.
I really enjoyed the drive thru the green trees and landscape
You'd love Mississippi then
@628DirtRooster I grew up in Michigan and live in Colorado now. Summers are gorgeous in Michigan
I love it!
Thank you
Love your pictures too
Thank you
Awesome video Dirt Rooster! I'm from LA (lower Alabama,southeast Dothan!)
I think ole Bruce's Bees is over there close to you.
@@628DirtRoosterlove me my Buc'ees!!! Can't wait for ours here.
Wow I can't believe that poor old ladies stayed in that room with all them bees it's a wonder she didn't get stung a few times nice hat
I'd be really surprised if she never took a sting. The bees were getting in pretty bad.
The hats look good! Yessir... We know about some Buckatunna, we mosey through there going to Clarkco or Waynesboro. We always stop at Crazy K's to grab some grub.
I'd been devastated, broken, and emotionally damaged at the safe situation. There all gone! Ain't know telling the history those pew pews had.
My mom's dad had a 1,200 acre farm off to the west of hwy 45 right there close to town.
Randy, I would like to ride through Butler. I use to belong to a hunting club in Choctaw county near Jachin back from 1972 thru 1987. Sometimes I would drive to Butler for different reasons but mainly to eat at the Butler Hotel Cafe. They had good food but did not stay open very late. Back then they rolled the sidewalks in shortly after dark. It was a very old town back then and a low population. I enjoyed this video and seeing your pictures of Butler.
I had to look them up hoping to stop in on my next rip. Looks like they must be closed down. I couldn't find them on the ole intronet. Good hunting up there though. We use to hunt in Stateline AL every Thankgiving when I was growing up.
Randy how is your dad doing . Hope he's having a great day .
He’s hanging in there.
@628DirtRooster Great ! Hope you and your family had a great Christmas .
Great video brother , Thank you!
You are very welcome!
Hey Randy, and you do it well😍!!
Nicely Done and she didn't get stung🌞.
Oh Snit💥.
JO JO IN VT 💞
Safety is muy inmportante Haha
I always thought your photograph is very nice. Enjoy your subject matter
Thank you Bob
Great video old houses are full of surprises look like they boxed in the front porch.
love the nostalgic environment that home has, really takes me back, especially hearing a house phone 😭
It was like stepping back into the eighties.
As a serious hobby photographer, I love your photography.
My favorite thing to do, even above beekeeping.
Hello🤣!! Maybe try driving over the road in an 18 wheeler! You will see a whole lot more! For me it was cool to be driving an interstate in one state or country and able to look at another state or country out my left or right window! Thanks for the memory😏!! I stop driving over the road!!
I think I'd cause problems with al the U turns I make to go back and see something I just had to have a picture of. haha
the cops! 🤣 thanks pal. this was a good one
I should have turned on the video and made a run for it. lol
Great video.
Thank you Joey. See you in a few weeks. :)
First time watching your videos. But I really bees. Thank you for sharing.
Meant to say really love bees.
Can’t believe you where close to me. Livingston is where I live. The bees are coming closer.
I could have used a little help. ;)
Great job on this removal as usual !!!! their Mother is lucky the bees didn't take to her sweetness and move into the room itself! I love your Photography and watch your videos to support you no matter what you are doing!!! can't say that for some of your competitors? HAHA. I highly doubt i will ever get to see Louisiana and Alabama in person, since I am now more like your father so its harder to just get around my own community! you need to start doing more Art shows! your Photography makes HRB look like a clown! wait he is one. You are very good at telling the story of the Photography. Keep doing you!!! tell me that bed was not already set up like that at check in!! YIKES
Been there many many times Randy as truck driver deliver groceries at Pig Wiggle store that been in the early 80 nice people's
These days you know you're off the beaten path when you cross a Piggly Wiggly.
When I was a kid, my mom and I would call those rundown roach motels. If you were lucky, the sink didn't drip and there wasn't a railroad track behind the building.
LOL A rail road would have been the icing on the cake like in the movie My Cousin Vinnie.
Gettin' some moody shots in, gotta love it. My surname is Butler..
The Fog we get here up on Portland uk is crazy thick, some times a 5-6ft visibility. Best ones are where the top of the island is sunny but theres a bank of fog along the cliffs, its awesome pretty
A forecast of heavy fog will have me out of bed at four AM to be at the beach for sunrise. You can't see the sunrise but it makes for some interesting pictures.
@628DirtRooster that's commitment right there
I love your videos

Hey Jim Tom. Thanks for stopping in.
00:12:17 One small glove for man...😅
Takes me forever to get those blue gloves on. I found some black ones that slide on pretty easily.
@628DirtRooster * I'll bet most gloves are too small, especially ones for snow!
@@gallowaylights I special order my nitrile gloves. It's rare I find any kind of gloves in a store that fit comfortably.
Nice video, bit of a hike to get some bees though.
Not too bad. It was kind of on my way back from the job in Meridian.
Find out who did the remodel on that place, so I don’t hire them 🤣😅 so you aren’t worried about any of the sprayed bees being in the hive and contaminating the honey?
You could’ve thrown a bee suit on mama🤣 Cool pics and interesting history. I grew up in a small town in NY. Surprisingly the town has never faltered. It’s home to the original (and still producing) Raymond Forklifts. It employs a lot of citizens and even has to hire from the next counties. I’ll put a link in the comments if I can find a video about the company. It’s also a huge farming community. I enjoyed the video, Randy👍👏😊💕🤗

That remodel was so old whoever did it has got to be retired or moved on the the afterlife.
I’d be interested to see your home town. Lots of northern towns seem to have a richer history and more interesting architecture than southern towns.
@ there’s several videos of it on here. Greene NY
Looks fun. I gotta come down there and work a few days with you sometime.
We'll have to find you some like this where there's no climbing.
@ I am pretty good now I think.
I look at some of the old buildings, and I think of the stories they could tell if only they could talk.
Occasionally I find someone who knows a little history of a place and interview them.
It doesn't look like they've been in there _too_ long; the comb's not heavily stained, and if they'd been there a year or three longer, they'd have built down and filled that whole void-space. Not too bad, then; were they healthy?
They were incredibly healthy which was surprising since they'd been trying to kill them most of the year.
@@628DirtRooster LOL, I'd say those bees are definitely candidates for having superior genetics, then, if they're that tough! Now, if only they're sweet-natured, as well~
You'll have some great photos when the fog sets in!
I think so too!
You are awesome Rooster. I am sure you are aware…. Look out for asbestos
Thanks for the love!
Can you tell me more about that Milwaukee nail gun and what gage for trim like that? 16ga? Love your no-nonsense brave bee work, videos and photography of America.
Surprising about the gun safe I thought they were rated for incredible heat!
16ga adjustable depth. Works flawlessly on everything except thick Hardie trim. It jambs on almost every shot through that stuff.
Enjoyed that video.
Do they pay you to gather those colonies ?
Yes sir. Probably half my income is from cut outs.
Where do you get the paper backed plastic sheets? Much safer option than plastic sheets.
Lowe’s and Home Depot both carry it in a two-pack in the paint department.
I thought was my answering machine picking up LOL
Old school
@@628DirtRooster That's me !
Can you turn the suction down on that DeWalt rooster?.
No adjustment on that one. I had a bee vac and the Dewalt on this job.
Is there a preferred brand of electric knife to use when harvesting honey? My brother is a beekeeper and I would like to buy him a knife for Christmas
Pierce has the best ones. Built in the USA. Mann Lake recently bought Pierce so check both of their sites.
@@628DirtRooster thank you
Please clarify. You are using a regular shop vac to vaccum the bees? Or did you do modifications on it for the bees? If so- what are the modifications. Thanks.
@@taililly2483 I have two vacs on the job.
How did you get the queen and bees that ran into the next wall space?
Fischer’s Bee Quick repellent sprayed into the corner gap ran them back out. Very similar to the live stream I just did with Mr. Ed.
Thank You!
Who do i contact if I want to start an apiary in texas?
What part of TX?

There are fireproof gun safes but they are very costly! Otherwise gun safes only keep kids, and others from the guns. I have a fireproof box inside my gun safe, but nothing is 100%
Randy... can you add a bee sting counter to the corner of your video at the end? just as a fun fact? lol not fun for you but to let people know that even though you are a bee whisperer you do get stung a lot....
I usually can't keep up with mine but I DO know every time Pete gets stung because he starts making noises.
Honey in bed! That Alabama humidity boy!
Hope the bees were relocated somewhere else.
They were
No suit. Dang. They seemed pretty docile though. Do you run into africanized hives a lot?
We don't have them here. I occasionally find a fairly defensive colony but with fourteen hundred or so removals under my belt, I've never found an Africanized colony in Louisiana, Mississippi or Alabama.
@@628DirtRoosterit's too humid in this part of the country. They like dry places like Arizona and California. Which is a good thing for us I guess. Those are some mean buggers
Where are you getting your avg salary from. Does it look that prosperous. If they were making that kind of money we would have better towns in the south.
