This was a one in a million job that any beekeeper would love to stumble upon. This RV had been sitting in this pole barn for ten years or so and had been home to an active bee colony for eight or nine of those years. The owner was trying to clean up the property and was unable to work around these bees without getting stung or at least bumped. This camper will ultimately be going to a friend of our customer who will likely turn it into a hunting camp.
I gave most of the honey to my customer who hung out with me for most of the job. She probably ended up with two gallons of good, capped honey out of this hive.
The removal of the second colony will be in an upcoming video.

Hello, Randy! What a fantastic presentation of a very unusual situation with those bees. Thank you for mentioning me at 10:50 I really appreciate that additional bit of spacial information. Also, what a convenience that Everything BeeVac is no matter where you go. Oh man! You even mentioned me in the video description? (';')... ( ';')... I am going to bring you a hot cup of coffee at the conference and thank you in person! :) Just an excellent presentation from beginning to end. Thanks, Randy! FANTASTIC photo series at the end!!!
I like Yappy but you are as laid back as him. You love the bees as much as him. You know to treat them gently and whilst not particularly happy they don't feel any danger. I can't imagine getting swarmed. It is really a bee paradise. Stay safe and thanks for sharing.🎉🎉🎉🎉😊
Former Commercial Beekeeper here (60's-70's) before I went military and, now just keeping one/two hives for fun. You brought me back to my days in Southeastern Mass, with my Dad and the odd swarm removal job. Had a week job at removing two swarms from two opposite corners of a 2 story square house in Taunton, MA The hives were in one stud width (16") space on the two corners from the top floor to halfway down the bottom floor, so we pulled the exterior clapboards and got them out, splitting them out into 5 different hives. The really interesting thing, I was 13 at the time and I noticed the residents of the house had an oddish grouping, one nice elderly lady and eight or nine young 'daughters'. My Dad explained it to me after we were done.
I'm quite familiar with your techniques, although back then we didn't use vacuums, just set up a set of supers, one with drawn frames, and then laid swarm comb in the other, shook in the queen and then mounted it on the side of the house near the original entrance. They would set up new housekeeping while we worked, cleaning the original cavity out. That evening, of course, we screened them and took them away. Thank You Sir!!!
This is massive colony great job Randy 💪👏 thank you for sharing this cut out
It was a huge one for an RV.
WOW Randy 1 million views congrats brother !
Thanks. This is my first one to hit a million in under a month.
@@628DirtRoostercongratulations 🎊 🎉man on your 1million views! Id love to try honey right from the comb!! ❤
@@allyplamondon6182Ask him how muči bees is dead!!!! He is murderer, God will punished him!!!!! 1000%!!!!!! It is so sad!!!! So God given working bees produce everything what body needs except water!!!!! Did you know that 1 tea spoon daily is enough for 24 hours of human body metabolism!!!!!
WOW! That was the biggest wild hive I've seen. Them bee's were mad.. Look at all that delicious honey! 😋 The owners should invest in a bee hive and start harvesting honey! Very Cool!!!
mr fred dunn sent me over to watch and glad i did!!!!!! wow!!!!!! im already subbed bfore!
Fred is a good dude.
yessir he is!!!!!! youre a good one to!!! @@628DirtRooster
This man is surely blessed with patience and care.
I love these videos that you Jeff and the other bee guys and Texas bee gals post even, The Bush Bee Man, really enjoy them all. ❤❤❤ 🐝 good
We enjoy making them.
How can you NOT get stung by a million bees?
...guess you gotta BEE there to find out! Hee-hee-heeeee 😁
@@HansumTrini 😅
He's wearing a special lotion, actually.
@@HansumTriniBut, ya gotta bee careful 😂
What special lotion😅
fred dunn sent me,bee space at its finest
Glad y'all stopped by.

Popped over from Fred's channel.
Hey Kennith. Thanks for checking us out.
It's wonderful how much you know of these beautiful bees. I hope you you find them a great place to rebuild.❤
They have a lakeside view.
Im from New Orleans, Louisiana, and I just stumbled across your videos... I love them. 🐝 💛🖤💛🖤
Awesome! Thank you!
I knew nothing about bees until I saw this video. Very enjoyable!
How this guy can be so cool when bees are flying all around him is nothing short or astonishing !!!! 🐝
No it is not. You finding it astonishing is astonishing.
After a while you will get used to it.
Depending on the bee species you work with, you can get to the deepest parts of the hive, bees swarming you, but you won't get sting. Bees can be really chill.
Also, he used smoke to mask the aggressive pheromone signal. If the bees can't sense the "let's sting" pheromones from others you are pretty safe.
Bees don't like to sting if they don't have to because it kills them. Plus, the smoke is like Zanax to them. Wasps are another story altogether.
I enjoyed every bit of this video awesome work.
I am a first time watcher of his content and what a blessing to have people trying to sustain these bee hives and keep the agricultural ecosystem healthy and thriving he seems like a super nice fellow we need honey lol
Thank you. It was a fun job.
When you vacuum them what happens to bees in the machine? That’s a massive hive. Amazing how the bees trust you, the know you not harming them ❤❤
They are saved and relocated.
You are a very calm man . I believe people can learn from you and your whole attitude . thank you for this video
Awesome...bees? Oh, that's a lot of...everything bee's
Haha yes it is.
Thank you for the Video Dirt Rooster
My pleasure Ed
Randy it's fantastic that you can take a cut out in an RV and make it an educational experience. Thank you for your videos.
Just having fun. :)
@@628DirtRooster Randy, will any smoke get rid of the honey bees? I know wood smoke will. How about an Oil soaked rag, will this smoke run the bees away? If not, what oils will make them leave the hive? Also, will Soapy water kill the bees? Like a dishwashing soap and warm water? I know it will get ride of all wasps. I am not sure about the Honey bees! Thanks, D
@@LiPo5000yes, soapy water will kill the bees. Please don’t do that. Call a beekeeper to come and move the colony.
How come you protect your face but not your arms
HONEY MAN YOU ARE A SPECIAL BREED.
Ha! I’d like to think that. Just regular though.
Wonderful video. I love your photography it's always good to see a good large feral colony thriving.
I love finding these big ones.

@@piercebeekeeping We are very much looking forward to getting to see everyone again. Might have to do a Pierce Beekeeping West Coast Expo some day.
Cuidenlas se están acabando y ese es un gran panal 🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝
❤ from Scotland, where the Bees thrive on heather
We have a little heather. Maybe not the same thing but the bees love what grows here. Mexican Heather.
You crazy man impressed this city boy with your dedication and experience. Glad to see you didn't just kill them all. Thanks for sharing this informative video.
Those bees are packed in there tighter than my wife's suitcases before vacation. 😆😅😂🙂🤣😅
Another amazing job Randy. 😊
You have to stand on her suit case to close it?
You are having too much fun with these girls.
It's like a paid vacation. ;) LOL
thank you and thank you for the pics at the end
You’re welcome Larry
leaving a comment to tell youtube to share this video.
4:35 was a great shot. .
I liked that too. The bees stood out real good against the sky.
Awesome video Rooster! I am having a youtube binge catching up on all the vids that I have missed lol Can we please have the words to your new Bee Rap Song? @11:20 You and Mr Ed gotta sing that together on your nest video haha Hope y'all doing good. My record for swarms in 2023 was bang on 27 Rehomed 18 of them and kept the meanest hives.
Glad someone else has the same mentality... mean girls RULE!
@@tonyandric4380 We are a rare breed lol 110% agree.
@@NATURALBEEKEEPERSCOLLECTIVE Having learned the hard way, I now teach a class I titled "Managing Mean Bees". Helping people to learn 'alternative methods' to avoid learning the hard way which meant 1000's and 1000's & 1000's & 1000's of stings for me.
You seem to be a very grounded person, thanks for the video.
Yess, I was on the ground through most of this job. haha
@@628DirtRooster🤣🤣I’m done. 🤣🤣🤣
Wao!!!!that CRAZYYYYY!!
That is a big old colony.
What's crazy is the last one in that space was even bigger judging by the old wax moth damage.
Awww Dirt Rooster because of the time difference in US & UK, I’m off to bed. C ur video in morning… 🐝🐝🐝
Sleep tight
@@628DirtRooster🤗🤛🏼 what an up-load… look forward to the next up-load 👍🏼🐝
What a great educational video and presentation
Thanks Fraglo
Amazing!
More power to you brother thank you for your job
Thank you too
Very impressive hive and your ability to retrieve the bees and hive.🤔👍♥️. Love watching
So nice of you
How are you not getting stung more? Brave man. Those are huge combs. They should donate that rv for the homeless vs letting go to waste
I thought we were about to be rich with the motherload of garnja....bees will work too. Great video and wow what a reception from the bee community.
Ha! I'll take bees over jail time any day.
Bee keeping is almost a lost art. My grandfather kept bees and I was fascinated with the way he did everything. Keep up the great work. These videos are so interesting! I’m looking forward to everyone of them!
Thanks, will do!
In his teens, my dad worked for his uncle who kept bees. Dad and could pick.up a bee by the wings and never harm them. Said that was how they found queens in swarms. Uncle was the swarm patrol in their north Calif town. Dad loved working with Uncle. Kept him busy and took advantage of teen male strength. He learned so much from Uncle as well as loving the attention he got.
So glad to see your posting again I love to watch your videos.
Thank you so much!
You sir are the Bee Whisperer!
Sometimes I yell at them. lol
Get your buckets ready don’t lose a drop😊😊😊
It kills me how you just vacuum them up 😅.
Housekeeping…
Bringing them all together so they can go to their new home as a big happy family!
When you vacuum those bees, does it kill them or do you release them into another “house”? Hive?
MOST DONT DIE THEY ARE JUST INSIDE
I think the hose tip makes a difference on how much damage is done to the bee. A nice big wide opening is best since there is not as much pressure or speed change compared to a small / narrow opening like whats used in the video.
@@LORFCASTER that’s what I was thinking too…
S'hot day and they are Thirsty . You wash your leg you just became a Source of Water !
Indeed. It didn't help that the water had honey in it. lol
Like seeing your pictures. Big hive. Dirty job. Enjoyed the video. Take care.
Hope y’all are having a good start to your fall season. Are you going to the Oklahoma conference with Mr. Ed and Natalee?
@@628DirtRooster I will definitely look into that conference. Appreciate it!
I started watching your videos for the bee content but come to love your photography just as much
Dang nice compliment.
❤ Loving your pictures! You truly have an eye for photography! I loved the one with the pier & the seagulls around it! The big tree one was great too! I loved them all but those 2 were my favorites!
Thanks Jeremiah
I love how you are so gentle with them. Bees are so important. Most people would just get someone to kill them all and yank the combs out. That's what happened to my neighbor's house, and it broke my heart. Thanks for loving the bees!
I've been missing JPtheBeeman & remembered you were in a few of his videos. Thanks for this video! It was great! Photography at the end was beautiful.
Glad you enjoyed it! JP is still around.
Holy bees Batman! You certainly are brave!
I've been stung by a wasp once and it did not bother me much, except the initial sting. Sweat bees are no biggie for me, either. On the other hand, I've been stung by honeybees a few times as a kid. There is a world of difference. The sting itself is very painful and then it swells and feels really tight and feels like fire and extreme itch for a few days. You must not react like I do to these stings.
Wow!
You would think the saw would piss those bees off. They don't seem to care too much.
Sometimes it does but not this time.
Wow, now that's an amazing colony/hive !!! Thank you for taking the time to film and upload this work.
Glad you enjoyed it! Wish I'd opened the whole thing for a proper thumbnail shot before going all ginsu on it.
That honey looks so good.
It had a great taste!
That's some good stuff, I would give anything to sample
Never Have I Ever Seen anything like this!
Excellent video!
Glad you liked it!
it interesting how bees can make a home where you least expect and will fight to keep it
They get into some of the craziest places.
thanks for sharing, heading over to view the new merch
Awesome! Thank you!
Wow!! No protection?!!😳💪🏾💪🏾
Hey there Randy!
Hey Scooter
Great video Randy Thanks I always joy the shots during your road trips.
I enjoy adding that stuff.
That was one big hive!! I have a floor cutout next Saturday under a refrigerator. Thanks Randy!
Sound like a pain in the bohonkus.
Like watching amazing people doing amazing stuff.
You are too kind
Dudes so casual.
Does vacuuming hurt them? I have not seen this before. The guy who came to deal with mine brought new bee hive boxes and the bees went to them!
It's a special vac made for live removals.
Such a fascinating barn! Someone was living the life at some point with all that old stuff. I love the random photos at the end. Was that your phone or do you use a camera? It’s crazy but they are things we walk or drive by and we all think not important but in a photo it’s appealing and gives a strong vibe or feeling.
The photos were all taken on a Fuji xh-1
4:02 Whoa mama that's what I call a find bees are amazing 7:56 Wow I love this thanks
That was a great day.
You need a whole bee suit!!!! your crazy!!!! What is it about smoke that confuses and calms bees???
They think there is a fire and hunker down until it passes.
You are an absolute Wildman. Guess it don't count unless they stung ya in the face.
Haha Face stings count extra.
19:16 I swear by it. One honey bee sting gives me 4-6 weeks of zero joint pain. The three days of insanity causing itching is another story that's best dealt with by using Alegre.
It's a great treatment that most people are scared to try.
@@628DirtRooster sadly you are correct.
Honeybee stings I can handle. However, I have zero interest in getting stung by Yellow Jackets. They don't know when to quit.@@628DirtRooster
They are great little engineers. Looks like North Florida
Close, south Mississippi.
People on youtube are soooo easily impressed. This type of stuff ASTONISHES people. Probably need to get out more...
What do you do with the hive and the bees? Do you transfer all of it someplace? Thanks
is that what they call "one sweet ride"? Enjoyed the video.
So sweet it's dripping.
Good video mate.
We moved from Western Australia to Ocean Springs and lived there in the early 80's, really enjoyed the four years we lived there.
I was just down there yesterday getting some pictures around the yacht club and bridge.
This was a great learning opportunity, so thank you very much. Also it was exciting to watch you work.
This man is brave... Nothing to protect his hands or arms. Geeze. I'd be in a full professional anti-bee suit. Air tight.
Well.he got the VERY most important parts protected so I guess he got the tail on this bull up😊 and so far he aint got kicked this time
I used to work for Javelin boats. That boat brought back a lot of memories.
Wow that was an active hive.
And you wore short pants. That's all you buddy hmm yeah no. I will wear my jeans and my veiled jacket. Don't think I will ever work em with being suited.
We used to see Javelins all over down here. Did you work for them until they shut down?
@@628DirtRooster No I got laid off in 91 when old man Bush killed the economy.
Both your sides are GREAT SIDES! 👍🏼😊 add bravery to it, WOW!
I love beekeeping but I am not tuff enoughf to try it in a tshirt AND SHORTS.
As hot as it is in summer there's no other way for me.
How the heck do you just lay there like that with no protection on your body? Also, that’s one of the craziest nest I have ever seen. Amazing work.
As long you keep applying the smoke, you will ne okay. Smoke makes bees dizzy. They won't attack with smoke.
Holy smokes, that was a massive hive! Loved the video and the photos!
I love it when I find these good ones.
Love to watch your channel.
I appreciate that!
Thanks for sharing your photos at the end too. It's nice to see pieces of towns I'll never see.
There was a mini tour of good old Biloxi, Mississippi
Another awesome video!! Thanks for the informative and fun aspects of bee removal!!
My pleasure. Thanks for watching.
That's a lot of bees. God bless you Randy love your vids!
Thanks Chris. Have a great week.
Hey 👋 there Randy‼️
I just ran across your video while scrolling…
I used to watch your videos ALL The TIME‼️
Then they kinda disappeared 🧐
I’m excited to see you again!
Charlotte from NC
Wow, that was a massive hive! Admire your work and care of the bees, particularly in the southern heat and humidity! 😊
The heat and humidity is a bear to deal with sometimes.
I grew up in Va. doing professional horse farm work. We would start at 4:30 in the morning and get done by 10-11 am to beat
the heat! I now live in the northeast, Massachusetts! lol! 😊 ❄️
What do you do with the bees?
Moved them to an apiary.
@@628DirtRoosterdo most of them survive
This guy is not getting attacked??? Hats off to you.. You are pretty brave to be doing this
Fascinating
Wow! That's the biggest hive I remember seeing you relocate. What a blessing! Just curious, how many queens were there?
Glad you got to rest your feet, nothing like laying down on the job. Lol.
Keep the great videos coming! Love the still pics at the end too, looks like you made the most out of your time there.
