When I got the call about this one I happened to be close by so I stopped in to try and see what these folks had living in their attic. They had something they thought were honey bees living in a dormer of their daughter's bedroom. They had already had this problem once a year or so prior but someone else was called out for that one. They couldn't remember the guy's name, only that he called himself the bee whisperer. By the time "the bee whisperer" was done with whatever he did they were very displeased with the mess he left and they didn't want him back. They weren't certain if what he had removed were honey bees or yellow jackets. This time they called around to several pest control companies and were referred to me.
When I inspected their home I was expecting a honey bee hive. From the outside I couldn't see anything flying because they were entering in a location that wasn't visible from the ground. They were coming in through the roof at the back edge of a dormer. Inspecting from the inside I found that the heat signature my FLIR was showing was not typical of a honey bee hive. Also the lady of the house had found a dead yellow jacket on the stairs which she had wrapped in a tissue and showed me to confirm what it was. At that point I told her they should have a pest control company deal with the problem but they had already discussed the possibility of it being yellow jackets and had decided they wanted the hive completely removed regardless of what it was. They were on a bit of a time crunch as well since the house was being reroofed and the roofing crew wouldn't start until the "bees" were gone.
I called Stuntman Pete to ask if he wanted to join hoping it was honey bees but I was very clear up front that I was ninety nine percent certain they were going to be yellow jackets. Pete said "OK it'll be and adventure and I've never done yellow jackets before". I said it sure will be an adventure and as you can see it really was.
The reaction you can see that I had from that sting in the face is NOT an allergic reaction. That is very normal from a sting to a nerve center like that. I could feel the effects of the venom into my upper gums and sinus cavities. You can hear in the video that breathing through my nose was slightly affected. I did take a Benadryl and the swelling in my face was fully gone by mid day the following day but for the next two days after that the inside of my lip felt like I had been eating salt and vinegar chips. If you want to know what that's like try the Lays brand chips for the full effect. The swelling from the couple of stings I got in the forearms took about two and a half days to go away. Pete started experiencing swelling later that night but was fine by the following night.
In the end we got the job done. We left some very satisfied customers and we got this funny video but more than all that we have another great story to tell. I hope you enjoyed it.
For quality bee suits go to guardianbeeapp.... They aren't cut proof but they are pretty much bee proof.

Lol Randy, this was so great! You and Pete are hillarious together making the best of a rough situation! Great video, brother!
Next week we'll try to catch a twelve foot alligator with a butterfly net.
I was hoping you were watching lol
@@628DirtRooster Sounds like an airtight plan! Make sure your veil doesnt have slits in it; dont want that alligator getting in 😉😅
That's so cool the Hornet King was watching. I was just gonna suggest you catch some of his vids. I was talking about the Hornet King channel with my land lord and giving him pointers and info from the videos I've seen. Lol. Happy Holidays to both of you.
I was sincerely hoping you'd chime in! 😂
When Pete goes hands on at 13:28 the closed captioning reads [Applause]. 😂 You almost made it to the end of the year without doing another nest!
SO funny! And why do I keep feeling bees round my head when I watch this?
my heart hurts for you two, but my giggles wont stop , sorry ,thanks for the video and hugs to you both
Wow, you guys are some macho men! Compliments to you all.
Yellow jackets are the only thing I've ever been stung by. I made the mistake of picking up a dead one as a kid. I'll never do that again. LOL! I also stuck my hand in a nest that was in a hole beside where I was sitting years ago. That was fun. My uncle had 4-5 boxes of bees in his yard growing up that I was around constantly and never got stung by them.
haha i cracked up like no tomorrow....tears going down my face! wife said what on earth is wrong with you and then i showed her your face and said dirt rooster got botox on his lips :)
I’ve got to be honest, I watch your videos with great admiration for your knowledge and skill, but this one, I laughed my ass off and shook my head through the entire removal.
Randy this vid is proof as to why I'm down right terrified of getting stung by anything.
but didn't you tell the owner that they didn't have common honey bees that just work. They have the hoity toity hornets who are always dressed formally in their showy yellow jackets.
Sure did :)
Wow, you couldn't pay me enough to mess with those yellow jackets.
Aww Randy you look like youve had lip filler 😅.Fair play , you guy's are beyond brave !! Well done and hope you had a quick recovery cause thry hurt like hell 🐝
I thought Pete was having a severe reaction like anaphylactic shock too!
Do you keep any 'epi pens' handy just in case?
We don’t keep the pens. Pete scared me for a minute on this one.
Omg your lip Randy!!! I bet your wife was mad when you came home!! 😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣
She was jealous
The grubs are great bait for fishing ! 🇬🇧🇬🇧
Hello Steven Tyler, I mean Randy! Are you sure Pete isn't doing all of the work? I imagine your taking a nap after singing those yellow jacket larvae a lullaby, lol. Sorry they got you!
There was a bed there. I had to make it back up before we left.
@@628DirtRooster Lol!
I am a commercial applicator. I put their lights out. I am glad I do not have to tear them out like that. Y'all are braver than I am.
Could have used some help. LOL
At 12:34 that light switch looks so cool
Can't beleive you did that 😱. Bee's yes. Them, NO!
I killed a ground Yellowjacket nest with soapy water. Apparently it closes the breathing pores in the abdomen and they suffocate. Wonder if a spray bottle with a soapy solution would have the same effect? Something you may try, my nest was dead in about 10 minutes before I dug them up.
There’s a channel on UA-cam the guy does yellow jacket removals and he feeds the larva to his chickens.
He was already here. Check the pinned comment.
That’s awesome!
I don't envy you guys even a little !
OUCH ! You guys have a tough job salute u men haha
Vespula squamosa. Bad news! Bunch of males in that nest too.
big guy your wife won't kiss you... God bless you.. keep up the good work my friend ...
When I saw that creature on your forehead I hit my forehead!
Awe now I feel bad. Least you were wearing your suit
I hate jackets now I’ve had them up my pant legs in places they shouldn’t have been lollllll
Time for new bee suits
You used a Beevac? Should've grabbed the shop vac...you weren't planning to relocate them were you? :-)
i hope you dont mind that i got a lot of laughs outta that swollen lip
ohhh boy. that swelled up
Noooo! You’re like my surrogate bad ass bee keeping uncle! 😥 I brag to everyone that you’re invincible. 🤦🏾♀️ I’m a medic and if I were there I’d be recommending a heavy dose of Benadryl and epinephrine on standby😭😩 Yellow Jackets are some mean son’s of guns! Grrrr!!! 🐯
I could have used a good medic that day. :)
How in the world do you charge for a job like that?
Yeessss Burn it with fire!.... also.. Yellow jacket be chilling in his cell, things burning all around him... *insert 'This is fine' meme here*
If you run a hose from your mouth down your leg to your boots, they won't swarm your faces. They detect CO2 which is why they like to go for the face. You'll want a lot of screen in that hose though so you aint swallowing no wasps!
this was a rough one those bees tore you up bade.
Them things're tough.
*Insert bonfire
do you carry benadryl with you ?
No. I can count on three fingers the times I've ever used it and this was number three. It makes me very sleepy. This time I chased it with a large energy drink hoping to finish work before the crash. I slept good that night.
Some women pay hundreds of dollars for that look. Should have had one sting you in the lower lip as well. You could be the first Bee-auty UA-camr.
Woman pay a fortune for those luscious lips, lol x
Southern Yellow Jackets??
Yes
I believe you won the kylie jenner challenge.
Randt U do look funny with that lip..
I agree :)
What is the best suit on the market say 100% no stings , if they make it I'd buy it ....
@@kenbardwell6267 There's not one with 100% guarantee but a triple layer vented by Guardian Bee Apparel is about as close as you'll get. Whatever you buy get at least triple layer.
@@628DirtRooster WELL u know I keep pins with me even walking in cantaloupe NOW ... last time popped , musta kicked her she was pissed off and popped me on my nose .. Closed both eyes instantly ...
But I want to be able to work my bees , myself not Bobby....
Well what I'm looking for then is the best u consider to being the best...
Something else that's kinda crazy , yellow jackets don't swell me like bees , u get stung by bees all the time and that one jacket really got a laugh 😂 U know after saying NO MORE YELLOW JACKETS .LOL 😂
Happy New Year
Welcome to the “Bee Suit Test Institute”. Today we’ll see two of our experienced test engineers demonstrate how to determine if your bee suit is yellow jacket proof. Notice how the scientists hit themselves in the head and face, indicating that the suit being tested must not be yellow jacket proof. The final determination of suit quality is measured by the psi of the engineer’s upper lip at the completion of the test.
Lol
I tried not to laugh when he smacked himself. Couldn't help myself. Too funny.
Out of curiosity what was the PSI, Randy? 😅
Lol
I haven't gotten far enough into the video to see this yet but your comment made my laugh so hard my chest hurts.
Two thumbs up! Thank you so much for the laugh.
Looks like DirtRooster is going to become a Instagram influencer with that duck lip! Lol! Feel better man!
Got to get them IG follows. ;)
LMAO He's definitely rocking one of the best duck lips I've seen! 😂🦆😗😗😗🦆😂
I'm not going to lie.... I spent the latter half of your video laughing out loud! Not so funny in person I'm sure but super funny. You're a good sport about it!
Passion for Woodworking I’m glad I’m not the only one!
@@holliglendenning3149 my wife was in the next room over asking what I was laughing so much for hehe.
When you said you told the pharmacist “Mmhmm”, I freakin laughed so hard I got the giggles and woke my hubby lol
The Hornet King channel does wasp removals regularly and he feeds the larvae to his chickens. Should you find yourself with larvae again, maybe give your feathered girls a little treat!
Yes, but that's his business, that's all he does, these men do honey bees, that's all they do so no they're not prepared for these types of removals and do not ever want to do them. They did this because they were misinformed and they're nice people and didn't say no to the homeowner.
Stop whining, people pay good money for those lips.
In the movies they actually use bee stings to plump lips. Case in point Mirror, Mirror starring Julia Roberts. 🤣
Ariane Shelton Ouch!!
Man I really felt bad for y’all so I wasn’t laughing at you I was laughing with you...just a lot harder is all...😉😅😀
Good that's what we want.
628DirtRooster Bees We were eating outside one afternoon when a wasp came to check out the goods. I was wearing a light jacket. My brother in law batted the wasp with a magazine and shot straight up the cuff of my jacket sleeve. Huge laughs. I didn’t think it was very funny at the time...but looking back...pretty funny. You guys do a job I wouldn’t do in a million years! Cool to watch you guys work! That lip shot looked like it smart! 😂
Hi DirtRooster, when you discovered they were yellow jacks, and I know this is one of those hindsight is 20/20 deals, but you could make a small hole big enough for a simple handheld blow dryer nozzle, pump some heat in there on low heat for 30 minutes and kill all if not most of those yellow jackets. It makes for a clean kill, with little mess. Just thought I would mention it for next time.
Great idea .
Get a vaccum and suck up the ones that don't die from the heat
"Maybe I should put a glove on"
He tried to tell ya 😂😂😂
Firstly I apologise for 😂 but when you started looking like one of the Kardashians I couldn’t help it.
Similar thing happened me a few months ago but I was far less calm
Y’all need to invest in full suits not just bee jackets
The lip, made me laugh.
Free Botox.
Hey! That's my Dirt Rooster intro! WooHoo! Haha.
Thanks for the great intro Greg.
@@628DirtRooster I wish I could have joined you guys in Pineville for the LBA meeting. I grew up right across the river in Alexandria but I'm living in Las Vegas right now. We're looking for a farm back in that area for when I retire in 5 years.
@@gregmckay666 dig your hat fella, you are a far braver man than me laying around next to them.
@@AfroGannon
Thanks! I've found that if you don't mess with them, they rarely mess with you.... Unless it's one of the many Africanized hives we deal with here in the desert.
Omg 😱 I was so shocked and then the lip...it looked like you were sticking your tongue out. I spit my coffee and laughed at you two until I cried. You guys are the best. I felt so guilty laughing until y’all started laughing. Whew ok 👍 good video.
You guys are awesome. Not only are you doing something so horrifying to even people who aren't phobic of bees and wasps but the fact that you don't use pesticides and such warms my heart. They are super scarey but I still feel bad for the poor little things who worked so hard on their homes.
Yellowjackets: easiest game of _Spot the Queen!_ ever, and the nastiest. >n< I flat-out refuse to wear anything floral or fruit-scented in the summertime, just because of these meanies. I refuse to smell delicious to them; pass the sporty scents, please!
as someone who is allergic to yellow jacket stings, my first thought at seeing the nest is " HAAAAANS GET THE FLAMMENWERFER, THE BIG ONE" XD
😂
"Nuke the site from orbit. It's the only way to be sure"
LOL
Yup, that whole section of big cells are for queens, they start making them towards the end of season, then they all go start their own new hives next spring.
I can’t imagine trying to fight an giant Asian hornet nest. Would likely be a horrific time
actually the giant ones are very docile and not aggressive. Also I think their sting is not as bad. kinda like with spiders the larger they are, the less deadly. It is the smallest and meanest ones that we have in the US that are just terrible.
Im pretty sure those do not live anywhere besides central asia. They are huge and have an incredibly potent venom. I saw some in China and let me tell you, you will run for your life
those guys make a nest? I always assumed they were big enough to just rent an apartment
That's hilarious
@@JackCarregan Giant Asian Hornets are not in the US and they are extremely aggressive and extremely venomous. It takes 3 of them to take out an entire beehive.
Dang! Being from South Texas, every time I heard "ouch" I was cringing!
Those are no joke!
When u said the pharmacist asked if they could help u and u did the mmmhhhhmmm had me laughing so hard.
18:59 laughed out aloud!!!
Those things are masters of finding ways inside your clothes. Security breach! Security breach!
I'm sorry but the bigger your lip got the harder I laughed. seriously I was crying man!! GREAT Video thanks. looking forward to the next one. 👍😎
You need to save some of those Queens for Mr Ed. He won't know the difference .
I'm feeding some up for him.
When the bees are mad they like to dig on the suit. Bees will enter where the zippers meet at the neck. The cover flap need to be taped to seal the opening.
These were a type of eusocial wasps commonly called Yellow Jackets. Yellow Jackets, even though commonly called "ground bees" in different parts of the country, aren't bees at all.
I hate to say it but I’ve watched and laughed my butt off watching this video for the 5th time. But that knife Pete slid down in that bucket with your suit sliced those tears in your suit.
I started this video thinking " could swore he said never again..." lmao
And you were right.
One more time and it’ll be the definition of insanity🤦🏽
The meaning of insanity is...... lol
Here in the Cajun State, we use the wasp larvae as fish bait or food for our chickens : )
Yeah, and here in England. As a boy I used to go hunting for wasp nests just to get those larvae, sold them in the nest to anglers for extra pocket money; the fish always went crazy for them.
@@unclegreybeard3969 You should make some videos doing this?
You’ve got no idea how much I love living in Tasmania (Australia) when I watch these Yellowjacket videos! The worst we get is European Wasps! (At least, the worst we commonly get)
That's exactly what Americans term yellowjackets
That lip! 😂. Great vid though, Randy and Pete! You boys earned that one!
When I wasn't laughing, I was crying for you man.Well tears were involved anyhow.Cause Iknow exactly where you are at.Telling you to suck up would take on a whole new level of meaning.You are going into the store looking like a carp.
OK, so I just ran across your channel by some weird chance of fate, and you've had me laughing for HOURS. Thank you for the totally random entertainment! You have a new subscriber!
Thanks Lori. Have a great evening.
lolololololololololol. jeff had something to do with those two slits. my money is on it lol
And those were the "Little" ones
I can't wait for your next "Never Again" Video ;^)
We know there will be more lol
I was a teenager and was visiting a school for some activity during the summer when the school was closed for summer vacation. I walked around a corner of a building and directly in my face, just a few inches away, was a huge hornets nest hanging down from the eve with dozens of hornets swirling around it. I ducked down and almost fell flat on my back moving backward in a jump and was not stung, thankfully. You do not ever want that to happen to you!!!
Rooster you sure did give us a lot of lip lol.
I LOVE them Lay's Salt N Vinegar chips! I guess I now have an idea what a yellow jacket sting to the lip would feel like a few hours afterwards. Great job removing them good for nothing pests from that residence. That reminds me.......Now that it's freezing cold outside, I have to take down a few of them nests from underneath the garage eave, & burn them!
Fat Man mini nuke launcher. It's the only way to be sure.
Thanks R, I really needed that. It's been a while since I laughed so hard... you two were a sight man.
I had a yellow jacket nest in my backyard. Mowed over em for an entire summer. Found it at the first of fall, well what was left after the skunk got done with em. Good riddance
What did the skunk do to them???
@@K-Riz314 ate them. Skunks love grub and bees.
Most women these days would give anything to get lips like that 😂
I literally laughed till I cried. Serious tears. Hahahahaha That lip... Hahahaha
Beautiful wasn't it?
Wow, you guys had me scared for a little bit. Especially when Pete looked like he was gonna fall. I did get a little laugh tho when you came out lookin like one of the Kardashians.
That's the new look we're going for.
I was thinking these guys are monsters compared to honey bees, but then you showed a close up of the innocent baby yellow jackets 😭
LOL
You couldn't pay me enough..... Not even for a honey bee nest. I did haz-mat emergency response for 30 years and I'd take a toxic cloud over a big yellowjacket nest like this...
When I was a teenager, one day I was skating at the skatepark and I had a can of coke and I opened it, took a drink then set it on top the quarter pipe and skated off then few minutes later I came back to it, took a drink then bam felt immediate pain as I watched a yellow jacket climb out the mouth of the can. My lip swelled up to the size of an apple slice. I still to this day always inspect every nook and cranny of pop cans before taking a drink if it’s been outside.
This was better than a Hollywood movie. It had anticipation, action, the fear factor, and comedy. Plus it was a successful removal. I'm glad everyone is okay.
This job looked painful. Just seeing how vicious those yellow jackets are gave me chills.
I worked for a very bad boss he was just a jerk all the time I was never so happy to see him get stunk in the lip it was so funny with his fat lip and he couldn't yell at he for the day Haha
Yellow jackets are nothing to mess with.
They're a bit more ornery than your average honey bee.
Brave man imo.
U should check out a hornet king video ON how to properly remove a yellow jacket nest with less sting
Keep benydryl in your truck. It is worth the room it takes up. Just keep in in your glove box
Look on the bright side the Kardashian sisters pay $2,000 each to get lips like that. You got one for free.
A little sweat equity to the face
Now the K sisters wouldn't go that far.
Ugh! Hate the critters! My bees do a good job of fending them off to an extent. Here @RidgeLife channel, we only have two hive currently along with our chicks but they are are a handful already!
Randy you are like a pregnant woman. "I will never have another baby!" Has a baby......Five months later: "I want another baby". In your case it's "I will never remove a wasp nest again." One year later...." I'm at another house removing a wasp nest!" LMAO!!
I know you just have a big 'ol heart Randy and that's why you really do it ❤ !
