Hey Matt. Great video! Two excellent teaching moments in this video. First of all, the bees. I couldn't see them that well, but as best I could tell (as a beekeeper) - they were definitely honey bees. Honey bees are well known to build nests in cavities in trees in the wild. Most varieties of honey bees are gentle and will leave you alone if you leave them alone. They usually won't sting unless they are threatened or you stand in directly front of their entrance blocking their "bee line." But even then, they will usually fly around you to try to run you away first. I could mow in front of my hives and never even upset them unless I hit the stand the hive was on which would put them on high alert. Then they would settle back down. There is no telling how long they have been there in that cemetery. I have a former neighbor who has had a colony in a tree in his yard for at least 10 years. Several beekeepers have tried to catch them and failed. He's decided they can all get along so he leaves them alone. Good job in leaving them be. Chances are they won't bother anyone there, including the groundskeepers. And the vine that was on the Reinhart stone is known as Virginia Creeper or Victoria Creeper. It is a five-leaf, extremely invasive form of ivy. It usually climbs smooth surfaces and has sticky pads on the leaves. The leaves and vines cause some people that touch it break out in nasty rashes just like poison ivy. Be careful touching it, especially if you have any breaks in your skin. Don't rub your face if you touch it. It runs rampant in the south. Keep up the good work!
Thanks for the info! Yeah, I never have any issues with bees. They were so disinterested in me that I didn't even realize what it was until I was literally a foot away. I was wondering about that vine. I just saw a short video on Virginia Creeper for some odd/random reason and wondered if that was possibly it.
Hi Matt. 5.27 malinda kramer , 1868, 44 yrs. 12.43 reba marie buss, daghter if i.h. & e.p., 1915, 1 day 15.01 viburnum opulus a.k.a. snowbal.Interesting historic cemetery in need of work.Enjoyed the exploration of this place. Looking forward for another part.Thanks for sharing Matt.
The plant life is trying to take over. Alittle bit in disarray here and there, like the old brush laying around and bees living in there. Maybe someone will start addressing some of the problems there and other places. Hopefully. I was alao wondering about the family that had members die within days of each other, I wonder if they died of a disease like cholera or aomething. If not maybe from injuries in a tornado or a flood,etc. It does make us wonder. Sad story. But I enjoyed the video and see you on the next one Matt. ✌️
Working on it, there is a weird bubble in the area where very few family or large public mausoleums exist. I've either filmed them all or they require keys which I am in the process of requesting access to. I'm going to have to plan out a longer trip or resort to episodes with maybe one or two with no internal views. It's coming though, I'll make it happen.
It's sort of a math puzzle based on the old 90s leet speak. There is a video where I do the whole breakdown if you search my name and "the meaning of 539" but it would take a lot to type it all out and read! Easier to listen to the explanation if you feel what I'm saying.
So many very old headstones. It's a beautiful and sad place where so many are forgotten. Thanks, Matt. Always love your videos.
God bless you and your family Matty❤

Greetings, Tom, Belgium.
Hey Matt! Always so wonderful to see you🪦😻💕 Oh yeah I remember that battery failure😱🔋👀 Definitely a weird occurrence!
Too bad so many markers are damaged. Thank you for the video.
So much work to keep places like this looking good! Thank you for watching!!
The place should be nicknamed the mushroom cemetery
I'd visit if I heard a name like that!

Yeah, I am going to try and do some research and include it on a future upload. Thank you!
@@539Productions That would be cool. It is needed. C U on the next one.✌️

If that was turkey 🦃 feathers 🪶 and you see one you better be ready to Run 🏃🏽!!! They are mean !!!
I got in a turkey traffic jam a few years ago, twenty turkeys decided if the cars could use the road then they could too...
@@539Productions just be careful! They will chase you!!!
Stay away from those bees!
How did you come by th name of 539?

I work to avoid bees at all costs, generally allergic to them, but I generally want to leave them alone.
I'm guessing fire or sickness for the Zimmerman's
That sounds like a good possibility to me too!
