This hive removal is one my dad got the call for. He called me asking me to come by and help for about an hour thinking the entire situation was what was visible when the drywall was broken out. As you'll see there was much more to the story. It wasn't too bad. I was still able to walk when I was done. Can't say the same for the old guy. He hung in there until we started putting tools away though. The comb was framed and the bees placed in a hive box at my dad's house. They are doing well.

This is the life of an elderly, disabled old lady…..watching 628DirtRooster Bee videos all day!…..subscribed and checking to make sure I watch every video you’ve got, even though I’m allergic to bees! (I’m not allergic to honey, or to watching your videos), 😁🐝🍯
Working on a new one now. :)
I’m happy about that! It’s 3:34 a.m right now so that will give you time to get it done while I take a bit of a snooze! 😁💗🐝🍯
Good to see PAPA ROOSTER walking about again ! 🏴🏴🏴🏴
You trying to get the homeowner to touch the bees was really funny
Smart move bringing your dad along, you do all the talking, he does all the work. It's bad enough I've got the cut out itch going big time, and you go post a video on it. I think I broke out in hives watching wishing it was me doing the removal. I have one this week, I hope it's a lot easier than yours. God's peace brother.
You broke out in hives? Hahaha!
@@ptjzmemory I don't think the Rooster caught that one. I thought it was pretty funny myself. Thanks for noticing it Juliana.
You best turn the hum o0n, Palley! Looks like the old Possum song is being sung- The Race Is ON! GBWYou!
😂 pure gold
From the looks of things, the bees are the only thing worth saving...hehe!
I don't know why but it's somehow satisfying to watch y'all remove the bees nest an all even when you get stung y'all stay calm I don't know how but y'all do love your videos guys
The owner was so funny! He braved it out though, more so than a lot of people.
Mr Ed is sitting at home having a good laugh watching this video. Hope you're having a good weekend.
Randy your dad is looking good. An answer to my prayers :)
Yep, I agree with the homeowner -- _You are crazy, man!_ 🤣🤣🤣
Some times :)
I'm amazed to see how comfortably you work without any protective gear. How you reach out and touch the bees bare-handed.
You really are a bee whisperer.
Much respect. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you for this one! Finally got to see the difference in comb and see the stages. Bees are amazing and so are you folks!
Thanks for taking the time to record your work. I enjoy the narration and relaxed environment of how you accomplish the task of removing the bees.
That homeowner was hilarious. Great video.
He was a nice guy too.
I appreciate that you take the time to show people from other fields (construction or owners) how cool bees are. I'm sure that interaction plants the seed in their mind that bees aren't that bad of you know what you're doing.
I am not a pro or home bee keeper. But I like learning about hobbies involving nature and am really enjoying your videos. Your explanations of the process, materials, tools, tips, and do's and don'ts are all well stated. I will keep watching and learning and might try to find someone in my area of Maryland who keeps bees for a hobby and wants a helper. I am retired and have the time. Good luck with future videos and I'll keep watching. Best wishes to you and family!
Love seeing people put their fear aside for a good experience. Well done to the owner, and U of course Mr 628 D.R!
You meet the nicest people.
I believe Mr Ed has an example of how Wires can pop up when you least expect them. lol
Ok.....since I have now lost the first removal crown after 2 years in a row. I gladly send it to you knowing Jeff Horstroff didn't get it. I would have to call foul anyhow. You can't trust a monk. They got connection ya know.
Lol😂😂😂
I love seeing your pop in the videos and knowing that he works with you so much. There are so many life lessons we can learn from our dads. Your dad seems like such an awesome guy!
I am an electrician. There is a little tool caled a volt tick most hardware store will have them. You just hold it next to the wire and it will light up and beep if the wire is live. It would not hurt to have one in your tools
I used to have one. I lost a whole tool bag and that with it.
@@628DirtRooster oh man that suck I know the pain of losing tools all to well. Also happy to see you double check the power thats like rule one in electrical never trust anyone haha.
Hardware Hack. I could be wrong as I am visually impaired a bit and not an electrician, but wasn't all of those wires except for the yellow one the old asphalt cloth wires? They looked like it. I know in my area of Georgia and South Carolina if the power is cut, for any reason, the power company requires a whole house electrical inspection by the prevailing Electrical inspection Dept. Prior to reconnecting service. This inspection, in our area at least, would result in the complete rewiring of the house to bring it up to current code and would even include the sacred and panel box and it's location. I have remodeled a couple of houses and recently bought a 1910 home that originally had known and tube wiring. Updated writing on the sixties with some upgrades (?) since then to include a few there prong outlets and one 20amp circuit. Just wondering if I'm blind or just wrong. LOL
@@jimjordan5630 It all depends on what has to be done. In many cases, old wiring can be grandfathered as long as nothing is changed. I had the pleasure of working on a house built in the 50s with Aluminum wire and the panel was fused rather than breakers. They were wanting to switch the range over from Gas to Electric. But in order to do that it meant a total rewire of the whole house. They could leave it alone and stay on gas, and that was fine. But to switch to a 2-pole service meant replacing the service panel which meant changing all the wire to copper.
I lived in an old house once. There was a cut wire that used to run to the garage outside and I would pass by it every time I mowed the lawn. I tested it one day with my little blinky tool that I used to see which outlets worked and I'll be damned. I was lucky. I think it was 220.
I think this is the best one yet
Whats funny is that yall still get a kick out of everyone's stereotypical reaction to insects that have a weapon, and then educate them whether they know it or not. Good job homey. Looking forward to all this years vids,. Lets me see whats up around home, too. More local B roll please! Good to see Pops rolling on scene.
We all have limitations as we get older but the gas pedal in that new truck and your Dad have no problems at all working together :-)
Glad he’s got good insurance.
I feel exactly like the owner of the property when it comes to bees. I don't think you could get me as close to the hive as you got him.
I can be pretty persuasive. lol
Glad you and Pop were double teaming this one. Don't matter who does what as long as it gets done. You could've wadded Mr. Ed in there with great ease! Keep after it, Randy and Senior! Yall do a FINE job!
Great video, wish you had footage of the amateurs getting their buts handed to them.
Lol you crack me up! It’s 2am and I’m up watching you remove bees!
Great to see your Dad out and about. Sorry to hear (in the description above) he has his limits, but don't we all?
It is good to see you and your dad out Making The World A Better Place. You two are Bee Superheros!
I sure enjoy your show. I a New Yorker. But I have always been fascinated with bees. I used to catch em in bottles when I was a boy. Lol. Nice way off life down there people seem much nicer than what goes on up here.
Boy, that one was tucked up in there. Good thing the Minion vac has a long nozzle on it. lol Good to see your dad out and about. Nice B Roll Sunset.
Looked like a tricky one!
Oh yeah! I saw an Instagram post this evening that I thought may have been one of your boats. I had to go to your channel to look. It was on abandonedafterdark on instagram. Not the same but similar at a glance.
@@628DirtRooster Thanks I'll check it out!
Oh boi that’s a huge hive!!!!
I hive been waiting I herd the buzz
Great video brother GOD BLESS.
hello from NY ,A WARM 20 DEGREES, LOL, YOUR DAD IS LOOKING WELL, i NOTICED HE WASNT USING HIS CANE AND HE GOT A NEW TRUCK!,LOVE TO SEE YOU AND YOUR DAD, THANKS FOR THE LESSON ,YOU ALL HAVE A GREAT ONE
Beekeeping is the way of life
The rooster I've come up with a bee vac that runs off of batteries
I like old man dirt rooster I'm gonna be sad when he finally retires
Future Viking Gaming ain’t gonna be anytime soon , his dad still going sting look at him lol
Future Viking Gaming you don’t retire from a way of life ! No matter how old you get !
Glad to see you dad up and around keeping you in line again!
Hey Randy, you probably already know this, but a really useful tool to have for checking if those wires are live, is a non-contact voltage detector (a.k.a. 'proximity detector' or 'Volt Tick', a popular brand). It can be gotten from Home Depot for $10-$25, looks like a pen, and detects voltage through the insulation, without the insulated tip needing to be in direct contact with the wire conductor. They light up and chirp if voltage is detected, and usually include a handy built-in penlight. Helps confirm what they're telling you about the status of the power to the building, and eliminates any doubt in a multiple unit scenario as to whether you're checking the correct meter for that unit/wire.
8:45pm and Mr Ed still awake? Good luck with that, unless it’s a meeting night. 😁
Haha. I know. He called me one time after 9:00. Surprised me but I figured he must have just got home from a meeting.
New year new equipment 628 dirtrooster u are my mentor I love bee keeping big u
Bout time coming out with another video. Always a blessing to see your Daddy out n'bout.
ps.... ordered a tshirt and honey...❤ them both! And packaged so nicely I must say! Thank you 628🐝🐝🐝
Good to see your dad is doing well, another great video Rooster, Mr Ed will be proud of you!
nice job on avoiding damaging those wires; good to see your dad getting around; gentle bees; I like it
Great job
Yep I would definitely fashion some sort of clear cone to attach to the vacuum with a light source set it up at night especially if they have a little tiny hole
Great job and video
Nice cut out. Interresting how people react when there is bees.
4:20 As the new home owner freaks out about bees the ladder bites its handler...
Randy, you the man. Been working in my shop all day cutting out and building hive frames and longing for warmer weather. Did get 50 frames together for when it finally gets here. Enjoy your vids, keep up the good work!
Hello DirtRooster and Dad. Good to see you. It was really fascinating to get a close look at a piece of brood and when you showed us some drone brood.
Swarm regards from Paris.
We had a live wire hanging down in our front yard after a storm. We didn't have power but both of our neighbors did so for a few days all they did was drive by. My dad had been up around it and so had many others that walked by. Thankfully no one bothered it because when the power company finally came by it was a live wire hanging down and was the reason we personally did not have any power..
Yay! The competition begins! Yep, that had to be a difficult removal, with those watermelon hands😂
Good seeing Pop along for this one. Hope you got the queen. I haven’t decided who I’m rooting for, this year, but I’ll probably stick with you😊
Good I need the support. :)
"don't want no one to loose a leg, an industrial accident" lol
Ahh the memories... nothing like fishing comb and bees from between blackboard and brick...
It sure can be a pain.
Great Job Guys! Looking forward to the laughs between you all and Mr Ed and of course the cut outs!
WWWWHHHHHHAAAAAAATTTTTSSSSSUUUUUUPPPPP. You will never guess where that came from. Nice job on that removal and good to see the posting has begun.
Yappy infection?
@@628DirtRooster He grows on a person.
Good video Dirt Rooster. Enjoyed how you showed that one roofer the Hive.
I really like the background music! It's very calming!
Your Dad's doing well. Good on him.
Great video. Your Dad looks good. Please give him my best regards. All the best to you all. Tim
Nice job brotha...good luck in the competition this year👍👍
Nice work !
You can see her at 14:58 just above the yellow wire.
Another great video
Nice video keep up the good work
Nice video Randy
That Bee Vac is awesome. Tony sure put a lot thought into it's design. Gonna have to get me one of them. Just sucks to be Canadian. Probably gonna cost me double at least.
Shipping is nuts. Been sending merchandise up there lately. I sent two ponds of honey and it cost $45 just for shipping.
@@628DirtRooster Lmao. I have to add 30% immediately thanks to the dollar value difference. That's $98 dollars and I'll guarantee shipping is over a hundred then there is the wonderful taxes on top. You don't want to be Canadian. 36 million people Over 2/3 of our country is forest and wilderness but Trudeau figures we need to pay carbon tax on top. Was listening to that AOC person you got there talking about 70% tax for the tippy top. I started laughing. Ya the tippy top of her pointed head. All said and done up here and my household pays 70%. to pay for all the socialist programs in taxes. Is $40,000 the tippy top? Does this mean I made it and didn't realize?
I bought a DJI Mavic Drone last year and now government just brought in laws that I need a license to fly. I have to register the drone and I need over 100,000 in liability insurance. Besides that they have laws that I can't fly within a half mile of anything built up. Built up? That's anything man made. Someone gets mad they can use a single fence post in the middle of nowhere as grounds to charge me. fine me and confiscate my now registered drone. This is literally the third hobby they came after. I got guns I can't even buy ammo for or shoot legally. a boat I am no longer allowed to drive legally and a drone I can no longer fly legally.
Sad part is when I was a kid we were as free as you folks. Soon you folks will be in the same boat. Democrats are coming after your shit too in the same exact way with the same exact tactics they came after mine. Little by little. After all socialism is just common sense you know. Common sense and public safety you know.
Nice work.
I love the videos! Keep them coming! I seen the queen in that video, she was up in the corner just like you said!
Yooooooo that looked like a royal pain to get at. If I've learned one thing from watching you and JP, it's that if I ever get my own house built, I'm going to make sure that every single void space in the house has a simple way to access it.
Hell, if I ever build my own house, half of the exterior's gonna be void spaces the exact height of the more common Langstroth frame interiors. I'mma live in a swarm trap that'll give the easiest cutouts ever for removals, just slice 'em along the upper and bottom places and chop 'em to length, bam, ready to rubber band. Hook the local beekeepers up with colonies left and right!
Spoilers: I'm never gonna make enough to build my own house the way i want to.
Got my first deep and I'm going to order a nuc Saturday
Hey Rooster.
Lil dirtrooster to round out a good day.
That darn latter takes no prisoners b
"non contact voltage tester" is a handy little thing I carry in my pocket all the time. Haven't changed the watch batteries in the thing in years!
just hold it up to any wire in any location or touch it (the coating part) and it will scream if it detects current. I always test it on a known live wire before using it, but it's never failed me!
Hi Randy, you can buy you a cheap proximity tester for less than $30 bucks that test for electrical current just by touching the insulation of the wire. Love your videos.
I must say I'm surprised that they kept on banging and working on the roof while you guys were trying to remove the hive.
I hope that homeowner got that place really cheap!
"Don't want to lose a leg in an industrial accident" :-))))
Man you is crazy man LOL
“Dad, you go get the ladder. I’ll stay here and hold the video camera. You can leave your cane here. Try not and fall, I don’t want to scuff up my new ladder.”
“Oh, by the way, I’m going out for lunch. I’ll be back later. “
So nice to see your dad back on his feet, letting you help him out! ;-)
Always nice to see a new Dirt Rooster video.
ROTFL 😂
I actually told him to leave the ladder alone and he went and got it anyway. Parents never listen.
4:26 ur dad got stung lol
4:26 i know that look on your dads face heh ive been bit by a ladder before
LOL
I was thinking the same thing!
Randy, my apologies! I thought I had 'warned' you that my Vac will save you a bunch of time! Time you can spend with your family or editing the video, or even catching up on sleep! But less time doing cutouts? How rude of me!!! Seriously though, that was a tough removal and you (as always, well, almost always!) made the difficult look easy. That's the sign of a real expert. Getting comb out of really tight spots like that is really challenging, you're working blind & by feel & the girls can get quite 'testy'.
You should have sent a planner with the back so I could organize all the extra free time.
We bought toys for my 2 nephews for the first time ever
They are 3 and 7
Omg
5 toys
$300.00
Omg
You get some of the danged-est jobs.
Bees around an electrical panel. What's next?
I thought you were sending me that vac in the mail? lol... I'm going to have to upgrade from the shop vac/five gallon buckets/2 hoses/ screen and about 5 other things that make it almost not worth it!!! lol
Thanks Pop and Randy. Loved it. Did the big end up going higher?
Nice work! Always happy to see a new video from you. Can you explain why the cap colors are different? Is it what is in the cell that's capped? Thanks!
What’s in the cell does have an effect but most brood cell caps are a shade of light brown.
See now I told ya no smokin' on the job. 🚬💨
Ya done set off the alarm. 🔈))))) ))))) ))))!!!
It’s a nasty habit but it sure makes the job easier. 😂
At 4:25 when the dirtroosters dad gets his hand caught in the latter.
Live wires .... I rented a small flat off an electrician. He would come and turn my electric off and not tell us why. Kept getting cross that we turned it back on. One of his lads, after several weeks of this, explained that above my door was a bare live wire that had sent one of his lads across the workroom inside when he touched the wall. Thanks landlord for not telling us about the dangerous live wire touching our building and for not fixing it for several weeks.
Never trust wires or that landlord😂😉😍😘 so weird I have met / known loads of electricians and none have been that inconsiderate. May require a Darwin award.
Thanks for the lovely video 😍😘
a 110v line "sent one of his lads across the workroom" ?
someone is telling you stories... unless they were standing in a bathtub full of water at the time
@@funkyzero UK 230v mains supply not your USA supply sorry ... and I know that room was loaded with metal shelving so probably the metal shelving that he touched. He was bandaged from hospital so I know he had to be treated. The lad I was talking to was a bit worried I would tell landlord that he had said anything. I am sorry but I do believe the lad. He just wanted us to know why the electric kept being switched off. The earthing straps to ground had been severed too we found out later😲
Makes me laugh how many adapters some companies provide with electrical equipment in the U.K. 😂😉 usually you only need adapters for equipment that they only supply with 240v plugs
New vaccum? pretty quiet P.S. your videos are so informative , keep it up!!!
How far do you travel for hive removal? Generally close to home?
Went and got a tire hive yesterday and have a 5 gal bucket to go look at guy called said bees are flying in and out of the lid
Did my first bee removal of 2019 and my life today. Lucked into catching a swarm that just moved into a soffit. Only thing that’s not good is I don’t think they had a queen.
I wonder if you could use dental floss passed over the backside of the electrical wire and worked back and forth to seperate it from the hive.
