Your father's reaction is absolutely precious. He is so touched by the generosity of others. Brings the word humble to a whole new definition.
I'm not sure what is more amazing - The bee box, your father or the fact that DirtRooster had the wherewithal to clean out the back of his truck to haul such a nice gift.
There is nothing more important in life than our family!! Randy you and Thomas have a great dad!!! Thanks for making us cry 😢!!
Rickey...you and your family are such a blessing to so many people and in so many ways!!
Just an AWESOME gift! Thank y'all
God bless you and yours and that includes "friends". I jealous. Lol
@@katiemcdavid4124 Thanks so much Katie!!
“Why people do that…” Because as much as it’s possible to love someone you’ve never met, that’s how I feel about you all. I won’t try to speak for anyone else, but that’s the only word I could come up with that fit. I mean look at the number of hours I’ve spent with you!
I will say that I person ain’t gonna put that much work into a gift just because they “kinda, sorta, maybe,” think you’re a good guy. Just my take.
I’m getting old myself now and my folks have been gone quite a while. To those who are/were fortunate enough to have loving parents, know that you won life’s lottery. No one will love you like them and they sacrificed greatly for you no doubt. Never take that for granted.
For me, that was my Grandpa Paul. Biggest blessing I ever have had.
Isn’t that the truth, my Mom has been gone 2.5 years and my Dad has been gone 13 years and it doesn’t get any easier.
My mom just passed last year and my dad has been gone since 1988. Everyday I wish I could talk to them one more time.
Not a dry eye in the house on this one...my son just came home just a few hours ago from being gone for many years overseas...the video came at an appropriate time...
Enjoy your boy.😍
I’m not crying, it’s pollen!!!! I got pollen in my eyes watching this!! That’s my story and I’m sticking to it!!! Another great video Randy!!!! Beautiful hive, I pray that your dad enjoys many more years of use!!!
Allergies are a very real thing, hon. Ain't no shame when the wind picks up and it's full of ragweed and pine~😉
@@alexisgrunden1556 yeah, ragweed pollen!!! 🥺😁
I must have gotten pollen in my eyes too
Same in Wisconsin. It got into my kitchen somehow.
Even sitting inside and wearing 3 masks, the pollen is strong with this video.
It's great that there a people like Rickey and his family. They are great examples for the rest of us!! I know your Pop will enjoy that beautiful hive! Thank you for sharing this story!!
I really like your Dads reaction to the new hive, you would think you had given him a new shiny toy to play with. Your Dad is such a character too, I like your video's in the past you have done with him. He tends to make your videos more upbeat, its great to see the love and respect you both have for each other. Your Dad is a treasure, I lost mine a couple of years ago, miss him every day.
You knew what you were doing.... Went and made pop cry. How dare you be so nice and caring LOL. Thanks for sharing brother
VERY touching. Ironically your post was perfect timing. I'm getting ready to go fry my mother some fish and take a few groceries. I saw the notification and stopped to watch. Man, there's NOTHING like the blessings of having our parents in our lives in their later years. All smiles and many blessings. May GOD continue to bless you all.
Thank you Mr. Scott. Yes, we are more and more having to step in and help. They raised us and now we get to return the favor.
Real men can show emotion. Even when surprised, your pop's first reaction was that it's beautiful. CLASS ACT
Okay, I’m crying! What a beautiful gesture! Those bees will be living in a bee condo! God Bless!
...me too Michele, this big, tough Scotsmans' in tears :)
Lol,me too!
Not me. I'm having allergies.
Cody'sLab taught me that a sticky bee is a busy, happy bee. I like the long hive setup frankly. What a magnificent box.
So glad to see him back up and running. You should have just put that on his front porch. He's so proud of that hive I bet he waxes it every week.
Lol...I probly wld too😂
So so happy for him. Pray he's filling better
Not a bee keeper of any sort but I love watching the videos. Absolutely love your Dads reaction and the humility he shows. Great gesture. I'm sure the young man will enjoy it. Great to see hes recovered and dive in and get that hive sorted. Massive bro hugs from England to your Dad family and all incolved.
Sir, that's awesome. Blessings to you for taking care of your Pops in such a special way.
Wow what a gorgeous hive 😍🐝Glad your dad is feeling better 🙏.
W0W! That is one piece of Furniture! Great to see 'Dad'! : } Nice work & Hinges are Interesting. ^
DAMN! Don't do that, you Sunk my Heart with that notice of your Dad going to Hospital. 8{| phew ~ Looks A OK now. 8 } ^ _back to Hive_ -->
First >> _idea_ ANTS: *Medicated Powder* will Detour Ants, not kill. Put in Sock & 'Bop' along wherever needed. [types: Protein &\or Sugar?]
^ Please explain How it works. Top 'Super' looks tight. boy, i have, still, much to learn! Hate to start, then left at stand still ~ lost. =\
I realize How Much Talent and Knowledge it takes to work Bees. ^ I Did Learn More! *THANKS! : } **_All the Best_*
Best moment-in-life capture video yet…..nice family shot with wonderful friends…..Rick ‘s craftsmanship impressive….glad to see your father smiling….you and your brother are good sons……🤓
Oh my! Your dad's reaction made my eyes swell up. He set that new box up so fast like a kid with a new birthday present.
I feel your dad's pain I have diverticulitis also it is no fun when it acts up had me in the hospital a couple times
There's not much I can say that your dad's expressions haven't already said. I'm proud be a close friend and next door neighbor of Rickey and his family .
Rick I could ask for better friend than you!!
You ain't got to find that video for me. I'm with you, it don't work...the fire ants I mean. I can see me in one of those long hives when I scale down. I thought the side lids had doors to store tools...or not. I need to remember that trick with the sugar water spray on those crunchy honey frames.
Great idea to make those side lids storage. That hive is a great showpiece if you have a lot of people coming through your place.
For sure the fire ant thing is an old wives tale.
Thats beautiful @horizontalbees!!
Im so happy to see your dad doing better!!
Thank you for this video brother. Emotions are not the sum of a man but they definitely tell you a lot about this character and his personality. And I don't know your dad I don't have any personal relationship with him. However there's something I see in him that's familiar and I can tell it that he has a rare heart and it's a heart of service and a heart of gratitude. Thank you for loving your dad on camera Randy I really do appreciate this. I also have great relationship with my dad and also do have other men in my life that are fathers to me. I know how rare it is to have a loving father and tother and to be loved by them and then love you and return. This is a lesson in itself on how to repay others with kindness.
Shalom and much love in messiah.
Rickey does amazing work 🍺🍺
Thanks Bradley!!! Your a great friend..
Very true!!
Oh my gosh, what a touching video! Thanks for sharing this moment with us.
I love your Daddy ❤ He is a fighter 💪🏽 God bless him and the whole family!
According to the European bee keepers that I follow, those horizontal bee boxes are all they use over there. Recently I have seen more and more North American bee keepers using the horizontal boxes. I myself find the horizontal boxes very intriguing.
I am trying to sweet-talk my husband into letting me keep bees, and the long Langs are what I would like to try. Although this is the first time I've seen this design with a top deep. That is pretty stinkin' ingenious!
This is so cool, and I wish Mr. McCaffrey many more years of sweet honey from it.
Absolutely brilliant hopefully your dad will be able to enjoy that hive what a lovely gift 🎁😊 Your dad looks like a absolutely brilliant guy unfortunately I loost mine a good few years ago now and still regret not telling him how much I loved him but I'm sure he knew 😊😀
Ty you randy and tom' i also learned some thing new all season long my bees would not work medium supers, they would work deeps but deeps get way to heave, so i learned to spray them down with some sugar water i will remember that thumbs up to horizontal bees woohraaa
that's a fantastic gift for your Dad ... Bless Him !!!
Love to your Pops! Really beautiful bee hive! Hope he enjoys it for a long, long time! ♥️
That is so sweet! I’m so happy for your dad! I just about teared up! God bless him.,!
In my opinion that's the best video you have EVER put out . My hat is off to you rooster . 👍👍
Awwwwww y’all are all sweethearts ! Y’all old softies! It’s beautiful!
😊 thank you
That is one cool hive can’t wait to see how well it works in person ps need to let people know not to spray bee quick in the wind 😭
LOL That is a tip people need to learn first hand.
@@628DirtRooster I wish I had a camera when I found out it would have went viral
That is one cool Hive! Is it the same folks that had the setups at the Hive Life Conference in January?
It’s so good to see your pops up and about! And his reaction is priceless! Thanks for sharing Randy! Hope you guys have a great week! 😃
He’s loved by a community, take some time with your bees. Love it!
God bless y’all! Such a sweet gesture for your father. 🙏🏼🐝🥰
Your dad loves his bees and will be able to continue to care and look after them for many years to come. A wonderful gift for a lovely gentleman.
all ya'll who still have your daddies with u, look after them dearly, I mis my Pops(aka daddy) so badly...been 8 yrs now 10/6/13.... this is such a tear jerking video to watch... thanks @628DirtRooster Bees..... from little me here in UK xx
This Video made me cry. What a wonderful gift to your Dad ! You could tell he just loved the custom built Long Hive. We will also be keeping your daddy in prayer. My own late Mother had Crohn's Disease which is similar and I know how many runs we had to make to the Hospital over the years . You daddy seems like such a genuine ,sweet Man . God Bless him and You too . Love the Video's !
Very nice! Tears of joy :)
Turns out he was missing the John Wayne marathon on TCM. ;)
Amazing!!! It's always good to see your father out and about, you guys are always in our prayers. Thanks for sharing all you do.
aww love the present. And your brother at the end saying, "of course I have a knife, I've got my pants on don't I?" is something my dad said a lot. Brought back lots of good memories.
AWESOME video! Pop's reaction is priceless
That's an amazing piece of craftsmanship they gifted pop's!
Tears from a man who truly appreciates a awesome gift.
That is awesome. Love to see people caring for and loving others. The best thing I've seen all day. The world needs alot more of stuff like this. God bless each and everyone of y'all
What an awesome gift for your dad. Thanks for sharing your process. 🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝
Hello Guyz……..from the Thailand office, made my eyes wet too. But now that I got Epilepsy Ladt Jan I dry at drop of a hat. Happy for you both that you get this time together. Stay safe n healthy
How are things in Thailand? That's a place I'd love to see.
What a blessing for your Dad! His reaction on camera was priceless! Thanks for sharing!
First I want to say, Thank you Ricky Roark for giving Pat McCaffrey the long hive! Randy, I’m glad you posted this video! It’s great that your dad was able to recover like he did and get back to keeping bees! I think this video has and will touch a lot of people! Enjoy your parents while you can.
Thanks Don. Are you coming to Kamon's conference again in January?
What a beautiful piece of equipment! Wow! Really enjoyed watching your Dad’s reaction.
That was absolutely BEAUTIFUL!! As a fan of the Rooster Thank You Horizontalbees, You all are a top notch class act.
WONDERFUL gift and video. WHO are the two people that gave a "thumbs down"? Do they not have a good soul? WTH??
What a wonderful gift to a wonderful man! I have thought about your dad many times and wondered how he was doing. Great work guys!
Wait do I see a Ford and a Dodge? Where’s the Chevy at? 😳😊. That’s so cool and touching…we can tell he was touched….I love cool people..
The Chevy was broke down on the other side of the yard.
Haha! As I post this response I had to think about how many Chevy's are there. There are to 55 210s, a 1975 blazer, a 1977 c10 and a 1970 Chevelle. All are in need of much repair of course. Oh and a 1995 suburban.
@@628DirtRooster
Well Mr. Randy I’ll loan you my Silverado BUT you’d be spoiled of it in no time because of the looks and its skills by out working the Dodge & Ford COMBINED…😉haha 🐝
Got to love a man who is that touched by Bees! More people need to realize the value of the hard working bee. Send straight from God to help tend us.
Thoroughly enjoyed every minute of this. So glad your Dad is doing a bit better. We’ve had a bit of a cooler summer this year (Dallas). I keep expecting the heat to explode, but so far, so good. Here’s hoping we stay below 100 for the rest. Take care.
"Do you have a knife.....yeah, I got my pants on." I have a vivid memory from 25 years ago when I went on a business trip from Indiana to Dallas, Texas. A group of us girls were at a business, I needed a knife, I asked about 12-15 men if they had a pocket knife. Amazingly enough, none of them did. I really thought something was wrong with those boys. I went back to Indiana.
What a lovely gift for your Dad! That long hive is beautifully designed, and so well built! I hope your Dad enjoys it, for years to come!
A number of 'thumbs-down' What's wrong with these people??
Like Martin Short says, "every party needs a pooper"
What a Beautiful hive ! And Love, Love, Love your Dad's reaction. He is too precious ! Reminds me a lot of my Dad. Thoroughly enjoy your videos and seeing you two Beekeeping together !
I also enjoy watching you work with your Dad, especially as our parents get older. My Father is 85 and I realize I don’t have that much time left. Enjoy the videos
What U guys do is Awesome, I am Allergic so I can't be by them,like honey but my Mother Loves Honey, she even quit using sugar! How can I buy some Honey from U?
Beautiful wooden work nice job 👍🏽❤️❤️❤️❤️
Awesome longhive. Great gift for your dad.... Always enjoy your videos and yes pants on I have a knife.
How long were those bees in that long hive before having a full medium super full of honey???
They were in there five weeks total at that point but the super was only on for two weeks.
A precious reaction from your dad. What an uplifting video.
Thanks Pamela
Ahhhhh how precious 😍 💖 💓 I'm just boo hoooing pops is such a precious 💖 man 👨 ❤ him so much 💖 oh u to so don't get jealous u did a wonderful thing but I bet ur beautiful wife played a played a big part and God Bless each one
You were both touched!! Dont lie....@1:50 you turned your head away. No worries Im crying for the both of yall. What a true blessing.
That is a slick looking long hive. I kept bees for the past 4 years on my property in northern Michigan, but the combination of brutal winters, bears, and near 100% wooded property have made it less than successful. My favorite hive was a long langstroth hive. They're just nice to work in. My creation was nowhere near as pretty as this thing though.
I am planning on buying a hive I'll save just a bit longer just to buy from them thank you for BEEing so KIND! 🐝💛
Thanks for helping your dad. I spent the weekend helping my mom. Ya only have 1. Ya gotta watch out for them as they did for us growing up. God bless you n your brother
A beautiful father son video. It's obvious how much joy beekeeping gives your dad, and it's obvious how much you love each other too. Thanks so much for sharing this intimate inside view of your relationship with your dad. Pretty special. I sure wish I still had mine, but I enjoyed him every day while he was here with us.
Your dad was so happy!! What a nice gift by Ricky & Ruth at horizontal bees 💛🐝🐝💛
If your hives sit on legs instead of blocks, Tanglefoot, or Tangle-trap round each leg works all summer for me. Not poisonous, just sticky so ants don't cross it.
I wish ya all the best from here in Aussie land , hoping that your dad's health improves , may you all keep on keeping on !!
It warms my heart to see your dad out and about. And I'm not gonna lie made my eyes leak a little :)
Beautiful video, beautiful hearts right there, my dad is no longer with us, so this video touched my heart ♥️ Thanks for sharing Dirtrooster! best regards to your family!
Love it Rooster. Glad your pops bounced back after the scare. It's nice to see someone so genuinely appreciative of others' kindness. He done you boys right. I lost my dad 7 years ago this month. I think those two old timers would have made pretty good friends. Keep up the good work!
I had to switch channels to tell you this:
I take back most of the mean things I said about you in private.
No wait Reggie! Don't take it back. I need someone talking trash on my behalf.
You now I named a rooster after you. He's mean but he keeps the flock in line.
What a beautiful Gift 😍.
There Dad is truly touched!
JO JO IN VT 💕😄
Dad doesn't wear any protective wear, he just deals with them with love, wow amazing,
God bless your Dad, I could tell he truly appreciated the gift. Beekeepers protect the important cog of our food supply chain, bless you all.
Gotta love dad. Thanks Randy. Give your pop our best. Many of us love you guys and your family and friends.
Im doing something like this where Im converting old furniture into hives.
That's a cool idea.
Bringing that man a wonderful happiness! God bless all involved!
Loved your dad’s reaction to the new hive Randy. They did an amazing job on design and artistic work. Beautiful box. That was a very thoughtful gift for your dad Randy. So many don’t realize what it means to do something special for our parents when they worked hard for us and did the best they could in earlier years. Thank you!
Oh! Those little bitty ants down south where I’m from are called piss ants. The fire ants best way to get rid of them is find their mound and pour I think it’s seven dust down the hole and all around the diameter of the mound. Been a long time don’t live there anymore. But I’ll never forget those bites, the swelling, itching, burning and puss. Take care! I’ll be praying for your dad and your family! ❤️🙏🙏❤️
Thanks for the prayers Dawn. I forgot those ants were called piss ants. LOL
@@628DirtRooster 🤣
Dad - you have spent your life doing for others so that when something is done for you in return, it can be difficult to accept that the well deserved favour is really for you. So now you have the apiarist's equivalent of a raised garden bed that allow old 'boomers' like me to keep gardening.
Who the heck gives this a thumbs down? Seriously. I know he's going to be so happy getting to work his own bees again. Love it! I thought this was a cool design the first time I saw it. Looks like they fine tuned it. Great thing you did guys.
Awesome video! With all the negativity out there. Family videos, doing nice things for people/family are what we all need.
I pray for your father's quick recovery from the complications. It is a serious disease especially in the elderly and it is painful. I hope to see him soon enjoying his new bee-castle!
Thinking of your father and wishing him better health. I lost my father 13 years ago, cherish him while you have him.
Awesome BLESSING for sure!!! His reaction is priceless! Thanks for sharing!!!
Hoping your old man is recovering steadily, health is a serious subject.
What a great son. I am sure that he is proud of you.
