Nice to see you both educating the younger generation on bees. Pete grabbing the combs near the wires, that's why your called Stuntman Pete. Then at least Randy can tell the tale of what happened to you to us.
The teenager with the white stripes on his arms. Love him. That’s what young men look like when they don’t want to let on how scared they are. Lots of people are scared of bees. I give him credit for asking and trying. Good kids.
Is there a reason you don’t have a larger opening for the vacuum hose? Just curious. Seems like you would suck more of them up with a larger opening. Man that was a serious hive in a bad spot. Glad you boys didn’t get juiced in the process.
Wasn't scientific or anything but I put a couple of peppermint in my hives a week ago.. and found 2 beetles out of 3 hives yesterday.. those 2 are no longer with us.. brought my wife home some stainless steel tig welding filler rods from work.. and shell juge em up quick like with minimum damage to the comb
That's awesome, so is that the FlirONEpro on your phone? How do you like it overall? :) I love that she wanted to take photos and learn about them. What a great learning experience, I'm glad they stuck around to see what you did and to overcome some fears. That was GREAT!
It is a FLiR One pro. It’s an older model but still works great. It saves me so much time hunting bees and drilling holes to scope. It’s pretty affordable as well. We had a good time with those guys. I’m glad they were willing to be a part of the video.
I've yet to see a person get dead from 110 possible if ya got a weak heart if ya are standing or laying in water, but just grabin a bare wire with 110 na give ya a good scare ,now 220 that gets deeper it can mess with yer heart rythm but most of the time it'll shake ya loose before it bites, 440 and up bye bye, ya don't wanna get any closer to 14000 than beein on the ground and lookin up. Those power compny guys use fiber glass cranes and poles.
Randy, at 4:33 what were all those mud mounds in her back yard. I have an idea, but checking to see if I'm correct. Not being from that area I'm not sure.....
I was so glad to see your video come up! Yeah, wall cuts with a Dremel can be dicey, I've came so close to being electrocuted that I didn't even know it till I pulled the drywall down! And that's not what I did for a living, just for myself or helping out family members on their own homes. Loved the pics at the end to get a feel for the area. Those make things feel so much more real and you are good at doing it. I'd like to thank you for getting me turned back on to bees. I was about to go full on with them back in '99 when family, kid's needs, took over what I would be doing for the next 8 or 9 years. Watching all your videos during the pandemic has brought me back to something I wish I could have done all those years back. After much research on my areas weather patterns, I decided to use a different hive model though. I'm looking forward to the journey and have you to thank for relighting my smoker for bees. I feel like I know you and yet I've never met you, just proves you never know how much of an influence you can have on someone by the way you do things and put it out there. Thanks Randy!
"You ain't gonna do nuttin with that little puff! Go get a cigarette!"..... "Okay... Marlboro or Kool?" .... I choked on my drink cause I'm holding a lit Kool cigarette... 🤣🤣🤣
@@628DirtRooster ... Maybe one day I could come visit from Florida and go on a removal with ya... I would definitely help with some smoke... LOL! 💨💨🚬🚬🤣🤣 .... Or maybe y'all could come do a removal here in Jacksonville, I'm sure there's gotta be a few people who could use your help... But then again, we tend to see more Wasps and Hornets... At least around where I live...
Another great video from Dirt & Pete. Gotta love scraping comb from wire packets. 😉 Seemed like everyone involved had a good time & were glad to see the bees move on to your place Dirt. Really enjoyed the music too. 👍🐝
Randy I like watching you two work.👍 I've watched some beekeepers do cut outs with out the construction background, it can be painful😁and they can quickly become complicated.
Please tell your mate, to prevent health issues let him NOT wear his cellphone near his hart! PLEASE greetings from Antwerp/ Belgium Keep up the good works! ;)
Boy that chaps my rear end. UA-cam hasn’t been posting your videos. I’ve got some catching up to do. You should check with those buns and see what’s up. Why aren’t they posting your videos even after clicking the all notifications button.
How do you estimate for each job of bee wrangling? I mean, you can’t tell how big the hive is with just the FLAIR. Do you have a contingency outside of the construction project? Time is money, and I have watched 1000’s of hours of different bee wrangler’s video content and have determined outside of the construction project, you and others don’t know just how long it is going to take to remove a hive.
That would be so cool if those kids got interested in bees! Let them taste the honey and they will fall in love with bees then. I personally am not one that would be comfortable with the risk of getting stung. I used to try to pet and hold the bumble bees that would be on the honeysuckle the us kids would be sipping on. Got stung, but my friend had a way with them and she never got stung. Honey, esp. local honey is soooo good for you and esp. for seasonal allergies. It's Heavenly food! Watching these boys is a hoot! Nice to see that they got over it and started eating and enjoying the honey comb! So what do you do with the bees you catch DirtRooster? I notice you don't protect the comb to put in new boxes for the bees??? Just curious. I'm used to your buddy Mr. Ed. and how he does things. You are the only other person I've watched so far do bees. Great video! Thank you!
Great video full of entertainment. I still love the pictures and musical ending (when it's some bluesy stuff) keep up the good work and more b&w pics 👌
I would pay good money to see the Mr Ed demolition job vid lol Coming soon to a Cinema near you haha One Hundred Dollars buys one ticket. Only available from Mr Rooster haha
So only capped drone brood, did it swarm and the new queen not get mated or die??? I guess the survivors just die out and you save the comb for the future or melt it done???
Right on all brothers of all colors. 👍🏻💪😎🙏🏻✌️. We don’t have a lot of hives that winter well here on the the front range of the Rockies NW of Denver. I’m setting all my seeds, bulbs, feeders and such out for my pollination friends including my hummingbirds. I don’t have much use for wasps, hornets or yellow jackets. I bait those traps next to my least favorite neighbors property. I enjoy bumble bees. They are harmless and just amusing. I got flowers they like 👍🏻
My friend from the Rockies, if your Bumble Bees are the same as Midwest Bumble Bees they are far from harmless. I think maybe you have been fortunate thus far.
Now you've done it Randy. I bet all of those "students" you where teaching will be in the beekeeping business next week. 😁 Another great video and photos.
Question: I am in Virginia and was told when setting up a bee box to put it in full sun because they like the heat but other beekeepers say keep the beehive in a shady place and/or sheltered in the winter. What’s your best advice for placement - full sun or half-shade?
Depends but I prefer my to be in the shade in the heat of the day and catch full sun early or late. That's not necessarily how all mine are set up but that's what I like.
Awesome work. She what happened to the bees in the colony? Take it no queen was found and with no brood they’d have nothing way to make another. Saw plenty of cells from where they swarmed.
When you were pointing out trees that you were calling ‘Popcorn Trees’, I held out my bowl to get a refill! 😂 I’m already eating popcorn watching your video, was hoping you would refill my bowl!
Randy, as you well know, a man can’t be too careful when cutting into any wall where electric wires or gas lines are especially directly behind a meter box! Do you charge more when you have that Stud on the job with you? lol
What a great day to watch the Rooster! This years bee season looks like it’s gonna produce a whole lot of honey! Thanks for sharing part of your day-we all look forward to your. Notifications :). Have a great rest of the weekend!
Last year you posted videos of your trip to California for the almond pollination period. Was it worth the time and effort beyond the UA-cam content it provided you?

Always funny to watch you two. Definitely take your time especially around electrical panels. When I use to do installations as a journeyman electrician we stapled all our branch circuits going from the panel.
For a couple seconds, I thought my phone screen was broken, but it was your windshield, LOL. Thanks for the fun video!
Haha I got a spider web across mine yesterday and thought it was cracked.
Praying you all stay safe down south with all those tornados.
Thank you Nancy. We are safe.
Things you gave in common with Mat's Off-Road Recovery. 1. You have Edd, 2, a truck, 3 you do recoveries, and last 4 the ladies love ya!
LOL
Nice to see you both educating the younger generation on bees. Pete grabbing the combs near the wires, that's why your called Stuntman Pete. Then at least Randy can tell the tale of what happened to you to us.
I'd tell you about Fleet Foot Pete. The man who was fast as lightning.
Smart work
We try Rick. :)
That was indeed a funny looking heat signature 🤣🤣🥒🥒
Yeah and it really didn't match the comb like it normally would.
The teenager with the white stripes on his arms. Love him. That’s what young men look like when they don’t want to let on how scared they are.
Lots of people are scared of bees. I give him credit for asking and trying. Good kids.
Couldn't get him to try any honey no matter how hard we tried.
Is there a reason you don’t have a larger opening for the vacuum hose? Just curious. Seems like you would suck more of them up with a larger opening. Man that was a serious hive in a bad spot. Glad you boys didn’t get juiced in the process.
Larger opening would require more vac pressure which would kill more bees.
Good job
Thanks
I think I see the queen at 23:36 climbing up the comb and flying off. 23:36
Great video! What was the music at the end? Was that a Flir app on your phone for thermal detection?
Wasn't scientific or anything but I put a couple of peppermint in my hives a week ago.. and found 2 beetles out of 3 hives yesterday.. those 2 are no longer with us.. brought my wife home some stainless steel tig welding filler rods from work.. and shell juge em up quick like with minimum damage to the comb
Can we have a brief moment of silence for two hive beetles. Two seconds pass... OK, that was long enough.

Heh, nice intro)
He did good. :)
How do we biy your honey?

Y'all are such awesome Ambassadors for bees. I really enjoy seeing the youngers in a family overcome their fear to see and learn.
They discovered bees aren't all that scary.
The guy at 33:44 looked like he might have some interesting stories

Randy, at 4:33 what were all those mud mounds in her back yard. I have an idea, but checking to see if I'm correct. Not being from that area I'm not sure.....
Crawdad mounds. They live in wet land.

“I’m not a bee expert. I just play one on TV.” 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
was the queen in the hive or was she on her mating flight
Likely a virgin in there but we never saw her.

Need more fun days like that. Makes it fun to record the job.
Why don't you use the thermal scope to find the studs? They showed up earlier when you were looking at the heat signature
We do sometimes but we can usually find them easier by nails, screws or bumping the wall. Pete was just off his game on this one.
You guys all good after all the tornado's hitting down there ? I saw some lost whole yards !
Missed us. Thanks for checking
I just had a thought of you guys taking The Bush Beeman with you guys on this cutout. 😆 🤣
Battle of the accents.
We'd be trying to imitate him.

Pete!!! Find a stud😂😂😂
He knew right where to look.
Your photos at the end of your videos are very impactful. They capture the culture and lifestyle of the south / 3rd coast very well
You are very kind.
Tell Pete he looks like one of the members of zz top.
I wonder if he has a guitar.

What is the survival rate on those bee vac's? any loss or kill rate?
Might lose a dozen or two, mostly from accidental smashing with the nozzle.
pete your braid is so long &🚙 beautiful in it's length and looks so good so getting so long(very nice hey they swarmed from the popcorn trees ?

The way you hold the FLIR with your hand across the back; doesn’t your hand interfere with detecting the bees?
The FLIR sensor is at the bottom plugged into the lightning port. The phone is just a screen for it.
Randy, as you well know, a man can’t be too careful when cutting into any wall where electric wires or gas lines are especially directly behind a meter box! Do you charge more when you have that Stud on the job with you? lol
It's about the same unless they want that super star stud to pose for pictures or sign autographs.
