  • Got a call for bees in a water meter.
    The Dirt Rooster & Todd stopped by as both were visiting the New Orleans area for a youtube convention (just kidding).
    As the title states there weren't a mess of bees, at least when we got to them there weren't but it did give us an opportunity to visit & help the homeowner Mr. Ronnie out.
    Honey bees are very important insects responsible for pollinating more than 30% of the food we eat.
    Please contact a beekeeper before spraying a bee colony or swarm of bees.
    Just about any beekeeper could have safely & humanely removed this colony of bees.
    In case you're wondering, Mr. Ronnie was not charged to deal with this little handful of bees.
    JP, Randy aka Dirt Rooster & Todd are beekeepers who care about bees & our environment.
    JP the bee man "me" resides near New Orleans, Louisiana & keeps bees & performs live bee removals throughout southeast, Louisiana about 10.5 months of the year.
    I will travel just about anywhere to deal with bees.

    I love this video. When you took off the cover I wanted to cry. Maybe the city should just go around when reading meters and just spray honey be gone after each read? NOT poison!!! J. P. Thank you so much again. It was nice to see Randy and Tod show up. "Where hobby bee keeping.. is...a...way...of life"!
    "I'm having a good day, and I know you are". Bee-utiful queen J. P.

    Having survived an assassination attempt by the poisoner, those could be good genetics to have, with a better than average resistance to insecticide. Just possible that the queen surviving is due to genetics.
    And they look like real gentle stock too.

    I’m a locksmith in Huntington Beach. My in-laws have a colony in the eves of an addition that they built on their home less than 4 years ago and the bees have been there the majority of that time. The eve is sealed and stuccoed so relocating is going to be difficult but that’s definitely what we want to do. I’ve been watching your amazing videos obsessively for the last week (I’ve fallen asleep and dreamt of bees once or twice😂). I want to at least be a part of the relocation. The bees man in my area has negative reviews online because he’s known to kill the bees if the client doesn’t want to pay the cash to take the time to relocate. Finally, my question, (sorry I’m being long-winded here) would it be stupid for an amateur, me, to try to do it myself with the proper equipment (suit, smoker, box, queen keeper, repellent, commander, etc)? Thank you for your enriching content. I’m a fan and I’m grateful for your profession. Keep on! 🙏

      But sorry, I can't accept the fact that animals that were minding their own business got killed because of a " panicked civil worker " .
      If he panicked, why not simply put down the lid gently and mark out the place with tape, ribbon etc and call Mr Dirt Rooster or any other bee keeper , or just the cops to ask what to do ?
