/ @628dirtrooster I'm just getting around to entering this description two days after this video went live and there are plenty of comments to sift through. I didn't have the time to give a good description when I uploaded it and really was just curious about how people would take the video without me giving any context or explanation. The comments told the tale. The general consensus seems to be that everyone enjoyed the still shots and the extension cord braiding but it seems I touched on a subject not many wanted to chime in on otherwise except the ones who were really upset with me.
I shot and edited this video in a way which I thought would come across as humorous for the most part. Although there really was an incredibly strong smell of weed almost the entire time I was there and this is section eight housing, the video intro was done totally tongue-in-cheek. I did the intro in the Colonel Reb voice, which I thought would be funny. Throughout the video I joked with the tenant, I told a "funny" story and I kept the mood light overall. I guess the majority of people either were cringing at my weed and subsidy comments or simply didn't find any of it it funny at all. Some of my weed smoking friends really took offense and let me know about it in the comments, which I totally expected.
In the end it was a fun experiment for me. I don't intentionally stir the pot for the most part but I do like to call things as I see them and I absolutely refuse to tiptoe around every tender subject even if I do step on some toes. It seems these days, depending on who you are, you can't speak truth without fear of reprisal. I'm not one who is concerned with that so I'll keep doing what I do.
I appreciate you all, fans and haters alike. Y'all have a great week and stay off the weed. ;) - Навчання та стиль
You are sincerely gaining in soul touching artistry, documenting so much more than your work with bees, but rather something deeply important about Americana, family and friendship as it stands in 2022, which I wish more people could see. You deserve a lot of credit for the hard work and thought you put into your work and your tremendous works of art that you call a simple video edit. I’d put this up against a first year UCLA film school student reel any day.
Thank you Alan for the incredible compliment.
I was gunna get me some bees but then I got high..... sing it with me!
I got high. . So high. . Gimme a Donut and get High . . LOL
It's like I dont care about nothing man...
Roll another blunt...
Ooohh
La da da da la da da la la da da
I was gonna clean my room until I got high
I was gonna get up and find the broom but then I got high
My room is still messed up and I know why (why man?)
'Cause I got high
Because I got high
Because I got high
Gonna shake a swarm from a tree, but then I got high…
Now I got no honey, and I know why..
Hey hey, cuz I got high, cuz I got high, cuz I got high…
Your videos have so much soul as do your photos. You capture the southern environment very well. I feel like I’m looking at my own area of the south when I see your photos. Well done as always.
Couldn't believe there was still a phone booth with a telephone in it. I enjoy your photography as much as I do the bee removals. Every picture tells a story indeed.....wait.....sounds like a Rod Stewart song to me!
I'd be surprised if that phone still worked, they probably ended its services a decade ago.
The resident seemed like a nice lady.
Good to see your notification come up!! Yours and JP’s videos got me started following all you bee wranglers. Thanks for sharing and letting me tag along!
Hi Mary Jane 🙂
@@BugFarmerBees hey ! Better watch that heat out there!!
Awesome! Thank you!
A man who who knows how to gather his extension cords. Not a twisted mess around the elbow. 👍🏻😆
That's the mark of a pro
He'd would be good at crochet or knitting. 😆
I like your second camera vantage point this time. Gives audience a good look on the hive as it’s disassembled
Would it be more impressive if I told you I shot all that on one camera? :)
Been watching your videos for years Randy. Recently took up a wildlife control job after I graduated college where I deal with bee hives regularly and thanks to your videos I've dealt with them successfully. Thanks for the content and knowledge. Keep up the content I appreciate it.
Never a surprise to smell a whole lot of weed at those places. I think Dirtrooster got a little contact high at that joint 🤣
That was fun & I learned a new way to tie up cords! Thank you for bringing us along
💜🐝💜
Yeah, I have never seen that technique before, definitely going to use that one in the future.
my father did that, I always thought it was something he learned in the Navy during ww2
@@ErinneKennedy my Dad is the one who showed me how & he was also WWII veteran.
I really enjoy the photography montages at the end of your videos, please keep posting them.
dirt rooster just something to remember is that some people can not handle alcohol same goes for weed many of us smoke it as a means of keeping medical issues like Multiple Sclerosis and Seizures at bay as the commonly prescribed medications have many side effects that make life very unpleasant .
The guy smoking the cig was my favorite shot. Them bees are sneaky making you do two days work.
Great pics. You don't see many of the old public phones around anymore.
Nothing wrong with Rooster old school honesty, to each their own. Those saws make that so much easier, nice to see right skills right tools. Ty Randy good to see a pro in action. Blessed Days buddy...
nice little video... great photo montage you mentioned "retro" sad, but it looks pretty "current" to me IJS
Your photography skills are good, keep em' coming!
My father was a photographer as his retirement occupation. He photography took him all over the world before cancer took him in 2015. I've enjoyed the still shots you have begun including in the videos.
Love your beekeeping videos you're being knowledge as well as all your photography. I wonder if that is a school that my kids went to back when I was at keesler Air Force Base in 1980
Thanks Randy for showing us the area the beauty and the beast
I like to see old places of the past , brings back old memories , great video Randy
Awesome job Mr Rooster. Nice swarm for the apiary.
You bet
I love your photography. I like taking pictures also. You horizon shots are what I always remember.
Nothing like a good cotton candy cloud sunset for some great photos.
Your bee videos are enjoyable to follow and seem to display a simple way about handling hive not where humans tend to believe a hive ought be(e)! Not only are your bee videos enjoyable, but you also have a fine sideline with your photography. Any chance on your next city scape episode that you could include some camera details? Thank you! -Bob...
LOVE your videos , Randy! You are talented at video / photography.
Artful urban decay man! Interesting
Cool to learn about your passion for photographing urban decay! AWESOME!!!
The stills in the end of the video are amazing, dont sell yourself short. You should make like a coffetable book of your photos, I would buy it for sure!
Just learned me a new way to lace up my extention cords, thanks. 😎
Mr Ed is gonna get sponsored now by DRIP. Who is you on UA-cam, 628. I busted out laughing. Should carry some Donuts in places like that. They'd be like here comes that 628 Donut man.
Mr. DRIP and his merry band of misfits...
That pay phone is something you don’t see anymore great video Rooster 🐓 be safe and GOD BLESS y’all Amen 🙏
I was shocked when we went out to California. They still have them out there and in good condition.
It is so very sad that kids have to live in that environment. So very good of you to give the honey 🍯 to them
Bees love Hemp plants, and that's way better than being a drunk, or drinking that nasty ass beer and liquor.
Enjoyed watching this Randy!
Ok, man I'm going to need to find out how to do an extension cord the way you did. That was awesome.
Love the photography you did. I like doing Landscapes too. I bet some of those run down city pictures would look awesome in black & white too!
Thanks for sharing.
The extension cord thing is a crochet starter chain. Easy and a LOT faster to unravel than a big ole knot!
@@camckenzie Thanks. I will definitely look into that. I appreciate the reply!
I enjoy the stories your photos tell. I wonder if the tenant had cornbread and honey. I know I would. And that young boy will have a memory to share with his kids one day. You made his day.
Nothing is ever easy. Nice shots man 👍 good health and God bless
Some jobs make you use your gray matter more than others.
Hope that never happens at my house! If so I am paying you to fly to where I live, amazing how you and the bees get along. I really like your photography. Wonderful shots, you have a good eye Rooster. Keep shooting!
Keep the eves maintained and you should be in good shape.
Those bee's listen to rap for sure
They have no choice
Your photography is getting better and better!!!✌️
Thank you 🙌
I loved the photos you added. very nice captures.
Keep doing it. looking good!
Thank you! Will do!
The shot looking up from the bottom was pretty cool! Love the videos bro. Keep it up!
Randy, your pictures are marvelous. You are way too modest. I loved the ones with the vines and wires in the side of the tall building. What happened to these bees? Did you keep ‘em, give’em to your bro or your Dad? I love that the bees get a chance to live someplace where they aren’t considered pests!
Great photos! I loved the one of the guy smoking the cigarette and the last one! I too shot with a Nikon.
I love my Nikons. That one met with a tragic end. It’ll be in an upcoming video.
Portland low income housings has all nice leased BMW's and Audis type cars in them... as well as weed
Thanks Randy. Love your photography too.
My pleasure!
dang...sorry about your foot!! I love the way you video all of your work...good job hon..
Thank you!
I used to work in places like that when I worked for the cable company in Atlanta, so I know you keep one eye on what you're doing and the other on everything else. Thanks Randy!!!
I edited out a little more commentary along those lines. I figured enough people would be butt hurt about my weed comments. I've worked in rough areas all my adult life so it's nothing new to me but most people would be very hesitant to work in a place where there was a shooting the same day. That has been the scenario twice this year alone. One of those instances was in the same apartment complex that's in this video. On this job there were a couple of guys eyeballing my truck when I got there on the second day. I made a comment about being safe and watching your vehicle but decided to cut it out.
@@628DirtRooster I understand. I was in an apartment/projects in "The Highlands" downtown Atlanta and heard some guys saying they were going to roll the cable guy(me) but I was in the head man's apartment so he told them not to f@$# with me. That was the closest I was to being messed with. It makes you extra cautious foe sure. Be safe my friend!
@@rodneymiddleton9624 I'm glad you had the right guy for a customer.
They don't call it "dope" because it makes you smart!
seems like a few neighbors could fix that gate and clean up those weeds at the playground. It wouldn't cost anything and it would be great for the kids there. times have changed I suppose.
that lady seems really fun.
My dad taught me how to crochet an extension cord. It makes life so much easier.👍😊
It's a dirty job but someone's got to do it. Great angle with the camera when you were cutting the hive down.
Get that out for Mr Edd hahaha thank you Jesus
I see areas like that, then come home to my modest middle class area where everyone keeps their yards maintained and looking nice with flowers and everything and wonder what has gone wrong in some parts of the country? We need a return to local pride, even if what goes on more broadly makes us angry. It begins around home.
Another good vid Thanks. I drill a small hole in the sheet rock where i SUSSPECT the bees are and put a long Philips screwdriver in the hole push up as far as it will go and if it comes out with honey I found them. The screwdriver is about 20 " long.
I have a 4’ fiberglass rod I use for that.
@@628DirtRooster Good idea will put one in my tool pile.
@@dennisbarney869 It was the broken end of a flag rod but I like it because it's a little flexible and I don't have to worry about hitting bare wires in a wall or something.
@@628DirtRooster Yea the anti shock thing is a good idea could be much worse than a bee sting lol
Seeing that old school is pretty creepy because that's the exact style of my old Elementary and Jr High schools in north Florida (which are both still open though). Love seeing your video because they remind me so much of growing up on the Gulf Coast, in the part of Florida that we called "Lower Alabama".
That’s funny about school style Ives thinking the same thing and I’m in Southern California.
You should come out with some Dirt Rooster shower caps. 😂😂. Tap into a totally new market.
Great Shots Brother, 🤝🏾🇺🇸💪🏾
If you get this message. It probably a stupid question but how did you start rolling up that power cord. My husband and I enjoy all your videos. You have such a calm, peaceful voice. Your videos are enjoyable and family oriented. Thank you you’re really cool Mr. rooster.
Start by laying your cord out. Double it and start braiding from the looped end working toward the plugs. Grab the loop end and tie a simple knot to start or flip it over your hand to start. Basically you just make some kind of a loop to start. You can unbraid as much or as little as you need for the job and rebrand it when you’re done. Your cord doesn’t get tangled up with this method.
GoPro is the devil. Mine started dropping audio too. Third time I smashed it to smitherines. Now I have a DJI Osmo Action. Love it. You ARE an excellent photographer. One Winged her 🤏. Nice job.
These days kids don't go outside to play they set at a TV or laptop n playgames u don't see em in parks anylonger I remember going outside all day sometimes playing all over or I'd take off n go to the creek or woods and try catching turtles snake frogs what ever I could find
love the photos
First off, love the channel/content dude. That was quite the opinion piece on people that use cannabis though. I've been following you for years and I never thought you would be so short sighted. I have a Ph.D in Astrobiology with a double major in linguistics and biochemistry, I'm a life long vocational academic, and, regular cannabis user. My life is not negatively affected by said use, but enriched, as are the lives of many dedicated and hard working people I'm fortunate to know. These people are, smart enough to choose the lesser harmful of two inebriants that we humans entertain commonly. I'd implore you to re-evaluate your views on "potheads" and perhaps you'll see that laziness and stupidity are inherent human characteristics.........
Thanks for commenting man. I'm sure there are those of you who can function and have enough self control as to not over indulge. You have to know you are in the minority though. Check out my explanation in the video description. I won't even get into the subject of my family members who would rather smoke up than take care of their children and the tenants I've evicted who could pay their weed bill but not the power bill or the rent. I could go on...
The world we live in is a sad place. Folks really need to start examining their own sins before worrying about calling out what they perceive are someone else's. Check yourself before you tap that send button, folks, I beg you.
As someone who smokes weed on a daily basis, weed does not make you stupid it just has the unfortunate effect of attracting stupid people to it.
Find Dr. Andrew Huberman's channel. He has a podcast on cannabis that might change your mind. Smoking it daily does permanent brain damage. The safety cutoff is once or twice a month
Awesome video Dirt Rooster the kids loved the idea of being on tv
4:58
That discoloured siding along the wall - tells me that could well be where them B's are at.
Ever thought of using a stethoscope to "listen" - as that way you could "trace/map the activities, long before busting open exterior verandah's (to see oops not there)
Thanks

The state could make them places so the homeless people would have a place to go get showered and maybe cleaned up and have a warm place to sleep and eat. Shame that building is just rotting down
You took the words right out of my mouth LMBO xxz.
JO JO IN VT 😆💕
What's happenin Jo Jo? Hope all is well.
@@628DirtRooster Hey Randy,doin well😊.
Your heat caught up to us
Folks in the Green Mountains 😨.
Hot as the hammers of Hell!
I hope you and yours are staying Cool as you can .
I finally broke down and got Air Con 🐦.
JO JO
Omg..you caused me spit my food out on the ladies eyes lol
Ha! Don't ruin your keyboard.
My son lives in a fancy income based housing and it smell like a pot farm too. LOL
If it's federally funded, it's a federal offense.
22:18 is that one of those rare pay phones ;-)
Yes sir and I think it still works.
100% agree on weed.
There is so much waste that happens in this country. The school could have been used for low-cost housing, community center, or many other things. The only thing with low-income housing is that it can and does attract undesirable people then the desirable people don't want to live there . The place gets run down because tenants don't take care of it then the landlord doesn't do maintenance because it will only get broke again. I think government housing should be stringent, drug tests, regular home inspections, and requirements for community service, grounds work, light maintenance, and trash pick up. I also think there should be a heavy police presence but not in the wrong way. What I mean is community meetings with tenants, dropping by to play ball with kids. An ounce of prevention goes a long way.
Love the beat of all the music you were playing. LOL Randy you probably missed it, but the guy in the home made me laugh! 19:05 "Man I been told you about messing with those booty chicks. Man get you a girl from around the way." Too Funny. That Big blue thing in the photos-was that Bigfoots cell phone? HAHA.
I did miss that. That's funny.
Great video. I like the filming of urban decay. I think it's something I might try. It's sad that the parents in the apartments don't care enough to make a safe place for their kids to play. What am I saying, all of the kids are indoors in the dark staring at cellphones. Take care.
Every time I hit the road I'm looking for old stuff to shoot. I enjoy trying to make interesting images of abandoned places especially.
You didn’t hit it with the FLIR?
When I first looked at it about three weeks before the job I couldn’t find a heat signature. After I opened that porch soffit and hit an air ball I went looking with the FLIR again and found a slight heat signature above where I found the hive.
I enjoy the pictures alot. Your skills are better than you give yourself credit for.
The lady in the Red shirt sounds like Big Momma of Big Mommas house when she said. (Whoo that thing is big)
Yep, public housing across the street from me. I can get high for free at night sitting on my front porch.
I know what you mean. I have a relative that, I can always tell when he's home, depending on how strong I can smell the smoke when I walk up to the door. Oh well, it's the times I guess. LOL, I still have four beers out of a six-pack I got just after New Years so I don't really understand the "draw" myself. Say, change of subject--if you're really a midwife--kudos to you! I admire the profession.
@@Doxymeister yep I really am a midwife! Thanks!
Don't sale yourself short on the photography. The ones you show in your videos always look great.
Come to my place you won't mistake being attacked. You will definitely know .
You got some hill country bees out there waiting to put it on innocent passers by?
@@628DirtRooster last time I tried to mow , I made one pass behind them, never bumped the stands. Took about a dozen sting's to the head while speeding away on a lawn mower.
Hey, the weed smoke get into the honey? I was not watching too well, I listen while I sew.
Teach you not to FLIR! lol
Thank you for sharing !
You’re pictures are awesome!
Hey Yapi we always got remember to tell Randy it’s the 2% rule, you know? Well fancy electronic gadgets
Great pictures.
Thanks finpainter
Hey dude is that your natural hair? For someone who works in a stressful jobs for all these years, at least since I was real young (I remember watching your vids years ago still lol), you look real good!
Yep, I'll never go bald and won't go fully gray for a while.
What's the highest number of queens you ever found on one comb?
Two
Their is an old saying.. a picture is worth a 1000 words… an for me? A picture is a piece of time, a minute, a second in time; that will never be exactly copied. Their is so much you can see in a picture that the human mind does not see a the time of the snap shot. I also like just taking videos
Of my bees. Their is so much more to learn from them watching it several times Each time you learn something else
We’ll put. Famous photographer Joel Meyerowitz says the same thing. Currently he’s the only photographer who has a book that I own.
Good eye with your camera!
I think you photos are great! They get kind of depressing, though. Showing all the deteriorating buildings is a bummer.
How did u get Joyce in the Ceiling please get her out with the bees
Don't waste your film. :) There is just something about a camera........know your love brother ... psst.....I also watch your channel for the Gulf view ... love it .. Love from Central Ontario
oola la .. at 22:56 .... bam.......
Did UA-cam sour JP on making more videos or is he unwell and had to stop eating honey, I mean he dropped a bunch of weight, everbody says hes ok but I haven't heard from him in a couple years or maybe I'm just too nosy and need to quit pestering him.
Help me! Lmao. 🤣🤣
Where do you post your photography?
Nowhere really. I've posted a few shots on some photography web sites and Facebook pages but that was so long ago I can't remember where I even put them. I just shoot because I enjoy it.
@@628DirtRooster your photography is really beautiful! There was a few in this particular video that I would love to purchase. If ever you get into that, you’ll have to share, so we know ❤️
I disagree weed is good for you and plan to start smoking it again after retirement
Why wait? Get stupid now.
Science says no.
do you have any place with all your pic like flicker
Nah, they’re all on hard drives. I don’t post them anywhere. Maybe when work slows this winter I’ll try and figure out somewhere to post them.
