/ @628dirtrooster I failed to mention it in the video but the reason we got this call is that our customer was trying to have cable installed at this property and the cable guy got attacked by these honey bees. He packed up his tools and said he wouldn't be back until the problem was dealt with. Our customer has long known that they had a bee hive in their soffit. With the end board missing on the fascia the hive was in plain view from the driveway so there's very little chance that they didn't know they had a hive. He never acknowledged knowing about the bees but I'm certain he knew they were there and that they had been for at least a couple of years.
We kept approximately four gallons of honey and probably ran another two gallons on the ground. We vacuumed around six pounds of bees.
No idiot bee removers were injured during the filming of this rather dangerous job.

My worse nightmare. Mean bees! Going to have nightmares. Little boy was so well behaved, respectful, cute comment about bees stinging - what they're supposed to do.🤭
i liked your half pint helper. "isn't that as bees are suppose to do??? " gotta love kids stay well
628DirtRooster channel - Where hobby video watching about bee keeping is a way of life....
I like your young helper there! “Channel your inner sloth and slow down.” 😂
Awesome job guys for a not so pleasant or safe job. Pete you’ve got to be a little more careful. Randy glad you were looking out for him. That’s neat he brought his grandson along. Take care. God bless!
People pay good money for the Ankle biter genetics. Maybe this is a new wrist biter genetics will be a hot seller. 🤣
If i request comb hunny?? Yoy send it up here?? Lol
Another great video by the way
Is calling up the power company and asking them to turn off the power to this houses like this for a couple hours an option?
yes
There is always planes
The pains of living near an airport.
Something you might consider; My local power co. has plastic insulation sleeves they slip over hot wires when there is power equipment being used near them. You might look into getting some of those for putting over the house feed wires for your safety.
If you have time. But if there is a tornado anywhere they will forget about you.
@@gwaynewilcox2702n nn. I.
Damn Randy do me a big favor.. I work for power company… Next time just call ahead and tell them you need some service wire covered with some blankets they’ll understand and protect you… Keep up the great work
Next time you're in that situation, split one of those swimming pool noodles on one side and slip it over the wire.
Brilliant. Even water pipe insulation.
Perfect idea. Or just an inner tube for a bike.
*"Clever Girl,"* as the Game Warden in the movie *Jurassic Park* said! (Irrespective of YOUR gender, but no offense intended; just quoting!)
I enjoy watching your video, I would like to continue, and therefore a bit of firm advice from someone who has worked around High Power lines. Remove all metal from your body. rings necklaces, watches, belt buckles. Wear long-sleeve shirts and full-length pants. This will make your obituary more distant in the future event.
Good advice Fred. I'll take it.
All good wearing long sleeves until they melt and surgeons are picking bits of melted fabric out of your skin. Make sure its a thick top or better yet, flame retardant.Not just any long sleeve shirt with all due respect.
5 years ago i went through a 415v underground mains cable at work while breaking concrete with a jackhammer. Electricity is absolutely no joke and i am extremely lucky to have only got burns from the plasma flash and it didnt arc over to me. 3 explosions though
My trousers were melted up one leg, high viz vest melted to my hoody but luckily my hoody was thick and didn't melt and thank god i had no gloves on but most importantly some impact goggles that i spent 3pounds on which no doubt saved my eyes
Be safe around cables!!
These days i have thick orange flame retardant, anti static gear. Expensive but theyre tough and last long
Next video you can call him "Pin Cushion Pete" he takes stings more than I do.
That sounds like his pirate name.
Great video buddy!!A tough one for sure!! Greatest quotes..you "use your inner sloth... Pete. there stinging the crap outta me...the young man replied!! " isn't that what there sposta do!!" EPIC✅😉🤣🤣🤣🏴☠️🏴☠️
They make a insulated blanket that you can drape over live electrical lines to protect against shock.
PS if you let enough honey drip on the scaffolding it will get sticky enough that you can’t fall 😁
I was half expecting Larry the cable guy to pop out and say "there's your sign!"
Not to be pedantic, but I think it was Bill Engvall that did the "Here's you sign" bit.
Larry showed up but he wanted to get paid to be in the video. LOL
OMG... I never thought I would hear a Jerry Clower quote any longer that's so old. You've made my day!
Haha your the best Dirtrooster…. Much love from Gaffney South Carolina…. PLEASE be careful of that power line Pete…🙏🏻. I’m afraid of heights like that little dude…🙏🏻
I'm sorry, but Pete squealing every time he gets stung is kinda funny 😄😂🤣 pool noodles fit around power lines really good.
Extra points for the Jerry Clower reference.
Heh, y'all made the Jerry Clower reference when Pete was up on the scaffolding, and my mind went straight to Mr. Clower's joke about when "Marcel Ledbetter" decided to open up a moving company business. Marcel and a buddy of his then attemped to move a huge piano out of an upper story window with nothing but a rope and a block n' tackle...🤣🤣🤣🤣
That was a good story.
Every time I watch you guys I want to get into the hobby…stings and all.
There's room
The girls just love Pete!!! 🐝 🐝
I may or may not have watched this video just to see Pete get stung. Also, I never just laugh at Pete. I always laugh with you at Pete.
You guys be safe put there. BEE Blessed. 🐝
I used to replace electric services in homes. My first step was to go up to that building drop and cut and tape the wires. Then I could freely rip the service down. Final thing to do was to strip and reconnect those wires to the home prior to the job being inspected and "cut in" by our local power company. The likelihood of an accidental shock is minimal, but caution is never unwelcome.
I hated being around live wires. I'm just glad neither of us got to see how much juice was in them.
Keep some cold pickle juice in a cooler during this heat in case y'all get to hot, it helps a lot.
Take care of Pete he’s a interesting character
You need to get an 'electrical insulator pad' or blanket, to throw over those wires while working around power wires, it will protect you !!
You need some split open sections of pool noodles to cover wires like those.
Rooster keeping the neighborhood safe from bees. Even though bees aren't the predator.
Pete didn't concern me at all, but that youngin' would've done me in. Like Foghorn....
I say, I say....boy, I think your mama wants you. No?....go find that dawg boy, the dawg...go take his picture! Take him some beez and tell him the Rooster sends his best wishes. Go on now boy. ..go find that dawg.
Thank you for sharing crazy days, thank you Randy 🙏🏾❤️❤️❤️❤️😂
OUCH! Good work guys! We need more videos that's for sure...
Next time put some pipe insulation around those wires!
I thought it was Big Foot hiding behind some leaves on the tree, then, as I looked closer it was just you. Poor Pete, he certainly was the pin cushion on this removal. God's peace brother.
And Pete does all his own stunt work too.
LoL 😝
Great seeing the next generation getting involved in this removal.
Thanks for the laughs! Slow children signs......
Loved the jerry clowers throw back
I know from your videos that some hives are more aggressive defending their home vs. other hives, but do some hives pack more venom per bee vs. other hives?
It seems so sometimes.
@@628DirtRooster Will you please do a video or segment about the facts and myths of Africanized/"Killer" Bees? I've always wondered how you have never seemed to encounter them in the years I've been watching.
It bothers me so much that people dislike Randy's content, I can't help but smile and laugh constantly when I watch, keep up the great work Randy, I love all your videos man.
Who dislikes it? 😠
That was a Dandy! Glad yall got some honey out of it, nobody was hurt and Jr. found out that a way of life ain't so easy sometimes. GBWYall!
Little man was running around recording on his Kindle making his own cut out video.
@@628DirtRooster He'll probably take it to school and be the editor of the school paper.
You can call the power company and ask them to put a safety sleeve over those wires for a day so you can safely do those removals. Usually they will once you explain the situation and most of the time you can ask it be installed in the morning and removed that night or the next day.
Omg...he is making me a nervous wreck waving that tool around that electricity line
When i heard that clang i was waiting for the sparks to fly. ⚡⚡⚡ glad it worked out and nobody got zapped by anything other than the bee's.
yep. I've tried that classic walk away in a figure eight evasion technique.
In b4 anyone got that notification
3:32 gotta love the Jerry Clower reference! 🤣
Wouldn't a very cold water spraying have helped? I mean _VERY_ cold water, as in "with 4-5 ice cubes in the spray bottle cold," even?
ADDENDUM: Isn't the handsome young lad with you fellows small enough to necessitate a special *"child-sized restraint system"?* At less than 60#, I'm pretty sure that, at least in the State where I live, one of those systems _WOULD_ be required, but I don't know about the child safety laws in any of the Southern States. I just want him to be as safe as possible; he is adorable!
I was in a head-on collision at the age of 10, in a car with my best friend & her Mom. There weren't any search belts back then. It turned out that I was lucky, as I only got a fractured skull & concussion, but both my friend and her Mom were killed. _IF_ we had been wearing seat belts, both my friend & I would have had only minor injuries, if any. Sadly, even seat belts wouldn't have helped her Mom, as she was very short and drove with her seat pulled very far forward, and the steering columns WEREN'T the type that collapsed under impact. The force of the engine block onto the steering column completely crushed her chest, resulting in instant death. My friend went through the windshield at 55 mph. As I said, I was lucky. Seat belts and proper restraint systems *DO save lives.*
Your videos are always interesting, last week at our local Walmart a swarm of bees gathered on a shopping cart it was amazing how many bunch up so quickly. Have a safe week bee careful lisa@moneypit homestead
You should have caught them to add to the money pit.
@@628DirtRooster That would have been great if we had something to gather them with LOL
Knock em out John! Shoot up in here amongst us, one of us got to have some relief!!! Love the Jerry Clower reference, you're alright Rooster. I dont care Mr. Ed says about you... ;)
Imagine, a guy from Mississippi, plugging a jerry clower story!!🤣😂 is the dirt rooster from “ya-zooo city, Mississippi????
Mmmm .. Champagnes Haven.. at first I thought it was the home of the stuntman. Boy the weather sure changes fast in your neck of the woods and finally, you just can't cuss when the nipper is about no matter how many times you get bit. Another good video.
@10:55
Top Flite Security of the World, Randy....
Of the WORLD!
I see a keg…the cable man got attacked by Buzzed Bees! 🥸😂🐝🍺
Used to be a keg. Now it's a cooking pot.
Poor Pete! Wrist stings are the worst!! 😆
Aw don't let him fool you. Pete screams like a banshee when he's getting tore up but I think he really likes it. ;)
This is the cut out I hoped Pete didn’t get stung. You let me know that was in vain. Sorry. So let’s hope for a good productive hive!!
I was first with 👍! Love your videos. Thanks so much. Take care.
New beekeeper here. Been watching for 2 years. I have 2, 10 deep frame strong double brood hives.
Any thoughts on testing for varroa mites or should I just treat for this year? Thanks for everything!
Just treat.
What is the difference between queen cells and swarm cells? Is that two different names for the same thing?
I'm with Pete on not handling the heat these days.......I'm so over it!! Shoot up in amongst us...Jerry Clower!!LOL!!
Gotta love the Jerry Clower reference
Mr. Clower's son used to teach at the school I went to in 7th grade. He used to come in our class room to tell us jokes.
A man of southernmost culture I see!
I was the dish guy once. Thank you for your service.
628DirtRooster Bees ; I was thinking , I've seen those guys who work on live " Electric lines " will drape some kind of cloth / or Rubber sheeting over a " live Line " , that way even if you should bump against it you'd be safe . I don't know how often you run into these jobs , but the cost of adding such a tool to , your tool box might be worth it . Jack
That was the first and likely the last. :)
So Phil Margera's removing bees, now?
Lot of great honey there now Rooster 🐓 y’all be safe and GOD BLESS y’all brother Amen 🙏
Sketch y 😨.y'all had your challenges Ta day!
The little guy kept on trying that Ladder, He'll get it one day👏.
JO JO IN VT 💕😄
Poor Larry lol
Beautiful rain. Send some our way!
You are some darn hard working guys!!!!!
That power line would have me paranoid. I think I would pass.
I have always been curious as to why you guys never use a repellent such as Honey robber on your gloves; surely that would keep the bees at bay while you work?
It's pretty expensive and you don't want those oils all in the combs.
Hearing Pete scream Yaaargh in background was hilarious 😂
He cracks me up when he does that.
You guys are getting Y YYY rated.
Where do you buy that bee vacuum? I really need one badly. Thank you and great video
That is called the Twig lock . Very hard to pick . Love the content thanks for the up load.
Nearly impenetrable to the average plunderer.
Hope you charge plenty.
Shocking yet satisfying. That heat has been sweltering lately.
Rooster, we know you are a bear of a man, and the bees don't LIKE bears. They always go after your hair. If you had a full pelt, they would go after any part you left exposed. How you became a beekeeper and overcame that is a story I am still waiting to hear! Just saying...
Also, I am very glad you both managed to NOT get electrified. You should have a "danger fee" that is added for some of these calls!
Oh, I love that you took care and watched out for the turtles!
I hope you get something to isolate wires like that.
When I worked in powered switchboards, we had thin rubber mats that we put around and over the live wires and components we weren't working on.
We had two current levels on the sites where we worked, 230 and 400 volts.
The old timer that went into retirement used to lick his fingertips and "test" for what voltage there was in the wire.
NOT RECOMMENDED!
He did it so he didn't mix up the two.
He was accurate but noone else took up his "traditional ways".
All the rest of us had measuring tools with us.
In love when you work with pete.
Randy I believe you have one of the best jobs there is. Not only are surrounded by constant beautiful scenery especially from my point view living in central California, you have access to the freshest honey out there. I would have a basket of fresh corn bread on every job I went on if I had your job. That and I gallon of ice cold milk. 😁
Ok I would have a big bucket of KFC also. I like to eat. Lol
New kind or rain!! Sweet yellow rain.. Next time you all have to sing”” rain drops are falling on my head”” 😂 that was a tuff one to remove .. I feel safe on a ladder coz it don’t move around that dang scaffolding is like being half lit up on a quart of shine in la la land!! Move a tiny bit an the scaffolding moves 20 feet!!!!! Thanks for the video
Randy, if only there was a way to restore the energy and endurance lost when washing away that gray hair.🤣 That would be a miracle in a bottle, that’s for sure! That coastal humidity will sap every ounce of energy you have in less than 5 minutes at our age! West Central Florida on the coast, so I share your pain with this hotter than usual summer we are having. Hope your family is thriving!
How can we be 15 minutes into this with all the stings and see no smoker for these angry bees??? LOL Spoke too soon....hehehehe
I want to tell ya'll, thanks to your videos I don't freak out over bees and wasps in my garden...
I was hoping you would show the baby turtles 🐢 . I love turtles 🐢!
There is a huge swamp near my house that the main road goes through and there is often turtles of various types crossing the road and I have stopped to help them when I can (especially with the curb). Pisses me off when I see people run them over. Unlike squirrels, 🐢 can't get out of the way of cars.
He'shavin trouble in the heat because Chantix does weird things to everybody differently. Once he's done with smokin and the Chantix he'll be back to full power!
Randy, will the power company cut the power going to a house like that for you? I bet if they will that they want to charge an outrageous amount. I’m certainly glad that nobody got bit by juice!!!
Um. Not gunna lie. I sat and watched the whole video weirded out from the first scene. Why are we outside at night with a pentagram outside on the table? I'm contacting mister Ed about a possible needed exorcism .
GA Power here disconnected the power to my house at the pole for a tree guy to do some work. They came right back and reconnected it. Your power company may do that also. It minimizes the excitement.
I might’ve sold you that scaffolding if you bought it at CER in Gulf Port
Might have. My dad bought it maybe ten years ago. I don't know where he got it.
@@628DirtRooster that’s about the time I was there so could have been
Hey in the future, if you call the power company before starting, they’ll send a lineman out to put shielding on those wires for you so it’s a little safer. Don’t think it costs anything.
Its disc golf! ;)
i'm so glade there are people like you in the world that understand how inportant bee are. THANK YOU
If you ever have a situation like that again with a power line, you might want to consider wearing a pair of rubber boots to insulate yourself from ground.
Hi, I am new to your show I love your show your we boy is so cute and I see Bees different now Peace Love is the key Happy Days✌💯🍯
Poor Randy you need a body Pamper for all the sweating you do. How many times can Pete get stung? Hey Pete maybe you should ask for a raise?
This would be a good video to send to any customer that says " Why are you charging me ? Your getting all those free bees and honey".
Y’all’s are funny and great but he is getting to torn up for my liking lol. Have to finish when I am feeling like laughing at the pain
I'm in Georgia, you said jump in the river and I half expected to see an alligator!
whew, I was puckering on this end
Always enjoy your adventures!
More to come!
