The Mister Ed that I mention in this video is Jeff Horchoff, another beekeeper on UA-cam.
There's nothing quite like a full Saturday of fun beekeeping and visiting with good folks. We had a visit from a future beekeeper and fan of the channel and his family. They got to do their first bit of beekeeping, bottle some honey and shoot a video intro. Then they went over to Mr. Ed's and got to help him catch a swarm. I think his video with them will be out in the next week or two. I hope we made the stops worth it. :)
Did you ever wonder what banked queens are? I'll bet that most of the newer beekeepers or hobbyists have never heard of banked or banking queens. After Akiva and his family left I went through a row of colonies real quick to check that they were queen right. I ended up having to pull two banked queens and place them in queenless colonies.
To bank queens means to store them in a cage for later use. Banked queens are typically kept in a queenless hive next to open brood where there are a lot of nurse bees that will take care of them. If they are kept in the wrong conditions the workers will just ignore them and they will starve to death in short order. Queens can be banked pretty much for as long as need be. Of course they aren't being productive for you in a cage and you have to constantly care for them by keeping open brood frames next to them so it's best to find a place for them as quickly as possible.
Later in the day I worked on some hives at my house and then caught a little nap before heading out to get a late start on a hive removal. The colony turned out to either be queenless or have a virgin after a recent swarm. I didn't find a queen. I ended up introducing a queen to them the next day. It had plenty of honey though which I was running low on so after sharing with the home owner and a friend I ended up with almost a gallon.
I have a video from last year titled "Why Don't You Just Poison The Bees?" in which I make a statement about the amount of roach feces I find in the location of a hive that was previously poisoned and then was eaten by other insects and probably mice too. The feces I found is mainly from wax moths but since some, probably five to ten percent, is from roaches and that's what you see in the video I just called it roach poo. Most people wouldn't know the difference and it really doesn't matter in making my point but that one misspoken statement seems to have rubbed a small population of people the wrong way really really hard. Well watch this, toward the end of this video I give you a good look at the size and amount of roaches that come after an unguarded hive even before I'm out of the way. I'd hate to know the amount of pests living in the cracks and crevices of a house where a hive full of dead brood, pollen, good wax and all that honey was left unattended. I bet on a quiet night you can hear them partying in your soffits.

I’ve been watching this channel for several hours. So interesting and I just love this guy and his associates. He would be someone you would like to call a friend. Great attitude and seems to be a gentle man with a kind heart. God bless you.
1am Sunday morning? Of course I'd like to learn about banked queens instead of going to bed!
4 am for me.. No.. I don't have a ton of things to do tomorrow... lol
LOL My wife is on my case today for waking her up when I came to bed. Said she didn't sleep very well after I startled her. I said but there was a video that needed to go out. :)
They sleep better than they think they do! I hear the snoring that supposedly don't happen.
Yes
"Because lesser wax moths eat unoccupied honey bee combs, they are considered pests to bees and beekeepers. However, unoccupied combs can harbor harmful pathogens that inflict damage to neighboring insects. By eating the combs, the moths can reduce the harm to insects of that region and provide a clean space for other organisms to inhabit."
Ineresting.
i could have easily googled that, but I would have never really thought to. thanks for the tidbit, definitely interesting.
Thanks man, I appreciate that! Have a good weekend!!
Nature usually has ways of cleaning up after itself. We owe a lot to what most people call pests.
THANK YOU for finally mentioning "the itch" that goes with stings! I'd never been stung(at all, ever) got the brilliant idea that bees might be a good thing to add to the farm..and off we went. 2 double hives(promptly split) later, I'm out there, decide to clean up the long grass in front of the hives (in BLACK track pants no less)and get my first sting. Bulls eye! Found out very quickly, I'm not allergic, but have a strong immune response. Two days later, I realized the ouch wasn't the worst part and am going bananas trying not to scratch what is now very tender skin. If I'd known then what I know now, I'd have popped two benadryl first off. Live and learn.
LOL My wife got stung yesterday, which is super rare, and she's figuring out the same thing.
My son and I are relatively new to beekeeping. We have only three hives. I am very impressed with your knowledge and also like the ease with which you gently handle your bees. Great videos and a great channel!
I truly admire what you do. You have lot of heart and love for bees. You take quit the punishment handling some of these angry bees and you keep going. You handle swarms well, while you're being punished you put out lot of information that is very helpful. You got me very interested in bee keeping. just ordered my first start up kit. I know you have a lot on your hand, but I would be very happy to see you put out an educational videos about life cycle of bees, maintenance, trouble shooting issues with diseases and wintering bees...etc. Love you man.
I'm always amazed that people can just put their bare hands into a hive without getting swarmed to death.
Yea ikr idk how
Smoke canister and learn to control fear. Work slowly and carefully.
Smoke canister will override their pheromones, they use pheromones to send warnings to the colony if they feel they are under attack. Without pheromones (because the smoke pretty much stops it), everyone stays calm. Since he also works calmly the bees don't feel threatened. Also honey bees are generally not aggressive at all. The only times I see him get stung if he's handling the things and by accident grabs a bee between his fingers or something.
these are normal honey bees not killer bees. Provided they aren't irritated you can actually pet honey bees. As a child I would pick them up and pet them all the time without getting stung.
If they are domesticated bees and you are their keeper, they get to know your sound and smell.
17:10 that one bee is like “aAAAaHhhHhHhhHhhHH! WHAT IS THIS?!”
Had a great time visiting with the Dirt Rooster, thanks very much for hosting us.
Need to find out how to send a link to this for the rest of the family!
On your phone or computer click "share" under the video. Or on your computer copy and paste the link into an email.
I couldn't help but notice the size of those roaches up there! Wow!
Me: Come get the bees please!
Me (after the bee colony removed): (seeing the roaches) STAND BACK! I’m torching the house down!
As tempting as it might be, Do not lick the honey off the smoker.
lol smoked honey yum yum.
Haaaa! I edited out the part where I was licking the camera lens clean. It was pretty gross.
Hahahahaha! Great words of advice there!
Smoked honey flavor yum lol
That sux.😎
12:30 Friday night watching mindless youtube and suddenly I'm suggest bee keeping videos. at 2am my wifi went down and I had to go to bed, started watching again when I woke up lol.
I wanted to say your videos are pretty awesome though, you're always so positive about it and you're so nice to the bees, it's rarely their fault when they sting you and when you put the hives together you're always so careful not to squish any of them, you seem to care a lot for you're bees.
Love this channel. Have a few colonies myself. Looks like your bees have some Carniolan in them. Of my 3 colonies this year I lost my Italian colony, but my two Carniolan colonies are doing gang busters. Had a nice warm spell for a few days in Ohio last week so I let the Carnis rob out what was left of the Italian's honey, which was a lot. Not sure why they died, they had plenty of resources and I had a round rapid feeder on top with 2:1 sugar to water syrup. Its been a rather mild winter wet winter, but all my Italians were in the bottom board dead. They had a light mite load going into fall too. Treated in October with Formic Pro. I may do Oxalic acid vapor this spring. I think the formic acid killed a lot of brood.
Next time I get down South I would love to do some beekeeping with you.
You got them first. So Mr Ed's doesn't count....lol. Man those first few honeycombs looked delish.
I have to work at beating him to the punch since he's working me over on swarm captures.
My mouth was watering seeing all that honey in that honeycomb! I did congratulate Me Ed on FINALLY finding a REAL SWARM this year! 😂 I have too much fun with all these guys and other viewers! LOL
I saw a house where the owner/investor sealed a large hive in a two story wall and killed the bees with poison. The smell was horrid. They ended up ripping the inside wall out to try and clean it up, but the rot had sunk in and the roaches had moved in. I never realized how bad dead bees could smell. They were trying to get someone to quote replacing the inside walls, a window and all the trim (along with the outside lap boards). The carpenters I know wouldn't do it for what they were offering. The owner ended up paying many times more to repair the damage he caused versus getting the bees moved correctly to start.
Interesting story. And lesson learned. Thanks for sharing.
The time-lapse video that you are gracious enough to share with us is very helpful....once you explain what is happening. Thank you for that . ✌️👍 it helps people like me with a sort-of attention deficit see and understand what is happening. Ah, who am I kidding..........it’s just super cool. Thank you , again for that. 😀
P.S. After that cutout you had performed in this video, you mentioned how you will need to sit on towels because you were all sticky which makes total sense. What I propose is that you invest in a roll of disposable seat covers, kinda like the ones that you receive in your vehicle when you take it to be serviced at the dealerships. Better yet, I’ll bet there is a subscriber out there in UA-cam-land who has access to disposable seat covers. Only this time, they need to say 628 Dirt Rooster on them. Lol
I just need to carry the rubber sheets in my truck. lol
I've been subbed to your channel for a couple years and just started watching Mr. Ed's channel. While I love his devotion to the Lord and the way that he presents himself, I do feel that you do a better job of rescuing colonies that have become a nuisance. Keep up the good work DirtRooster!!
Thanks man. I have a few years worth of a head start on him doing this.
Even though dirt rooster looks cool not wearing his protective gear if you’re new to this please wear your protective gear!!
some people are not bothered by stings.. other people can die from them!
until you know where you fall in that group.. please wear your gear!!!!!
good video dirt rooster ..as always!
very informative and enjoyable to watch
I know a Mark Reed. From the UK?
Right you are Mark. Nothing cool about an ambulance ride or worse.
Been there more than once but not totally.
Some cut outs I've done, stung multiple times fully suited. So best Just know if You can take the sting period.
Allergy Reactions: it's always the "next" one that can/could carry you away.
Thank you for doing so much for the precious bees. People like you are legit heroes when you think about how important these animals are to the earth and how much thier ecosystems are threatened today.Wish i could do beekeeping. Maybe one day. But its so nice to see so many bees living a good life.
You’re not wrong at all, but so many insects and other creatures that people view as pests are super important to their respective food chains and don’t get the same “publicity” (for lack of a better word). It’s just important to view everything around us in the context of their natural environment. But us naturalists thank you for recognizing the importance and necessity of bees!
I’m scared 😱 to death of bees 🐝 and wasps but I love this channel and I know the importances of them
OMGG my roach phobia didn’t appreciate that!😵
Roaches! Yuck! Though I'd still rather deal worth them instead of attorneys. Don't know what it is about them roaches, but mice, moths, ants do not instill the level of nastiness that roaches do.
The whole queen thing is fascinating to me, but very much a mystery, and maybe the topic of a future video? I remember your dad did a grafting video a while back, but I don't recall seeing how you go from a bunch of raised queens to getting them mated and locked back up to prevent them from killing each other.
Glad to see you back making videos. Please tell me you took time to take a big old bite out of that nice, fat comb. I think my mouth was dripping as much as the honey was. ;-)
Peace, bro.
Rich Booth I'd LOVE a video on queen bees, especially on how they get the workers to create them, care for them, bank them, etc! I've watched videos about them but it's still a mystery to me. Maybe I'll just never get it! LOL
Agreed, roaches freak me out to an irrational degree. I know rationally that they're not much worse than any other bug, but i can't help it, just seeing them makes my skin crawl. I'll take a room full of spiders or snakes before i deal with even one roach lol
Pamela the reason there aren't a lot of queen rearing videos is because there are umpteen ways to do it. In general a queen cell is vertical instead of horizontal. The egg is laid. When it hatches it is fed royal jelly which has something in it that activates the sexuality of the larva and makes it into a queen larva which is extremely well-fed. When it's 8 days old the cell with the larva gets capped. On day 16 the queen emerges. Within days she is ready to mate. She mates with many drones. 15-40 is what I've read. She starts laying eggs a few days or a week after mating. She has to practice but gets the hang of it quickly. It takes about three weeks to a month to get a laying queen from when you say GO.
Mike Ries Thanks for the explanation. You left out one part. After she mates with 15-40 drones, she smokes a cigarette and drinks a beer. ;-)
Yeah wait til you see a queen come back with "mating sign" where she's basically carrying the ripped out genitals of a drone in her tail. If you think that's funny try a product called "peter rooter". Cures the drips.
You should take that long (non-serrated) knife and heat the tip real good about two inches down and then bend it over. Maybe check with a blacksmith to ensure it won't break. This would give you an angled edge of about 75 to 80 degrees to work that comb on a tight ceiling cutout.
I need about 40 custom knives for all the different configurations of comb we have to cut.
I used to work at a hotel that had bees in the ceiling of one building every year. The hive was so big the honey would drop into two rooms. I was sad cause they got poisoned. I found out then I was not allergic. My office was adjacent to the rooms. I still love them.
That's a shame. They probably had a roach problem too if I had to bet.
I love your videos. They are so calm, and you know so much. Very cool! Thanks for sharing bees with us.
It's amazing how docile the bees are. I still wouldn't go near those hives, though, lol.
Anthony White well they have been farmed for decades or centuries. They're basically like insect livestock. Not even indigenous to North America
When the bees swarmed all the old bees that are the mean bees left. The younger bees are alot calmer
Beep Beep Richie Livestock doesn't randomly attack you though, DirtRooster gets stung regularly, even when they aren't angry. One is too much for me. I would have to wear a metal airtight suit with oxygen tank to deal with them, to make sure I never took a single sting
As soon as I saw the roaches I was like. "naah~ I don't need sleep tonight, course not." lol
But good take away for me. Never poison a honey bee colony!
I just wanted to take a bite out of that comb.
I LOVE TO WATCH YOUR BEE SHOW'S. IM LEARNING AS I WATCH YOU. IM TO SCARED TO GO NEAR A HIVE. WISH I COULD BREAK THAT FRIGHT. ANY SUGGESTIONS? THANK YOU AND MR EDD FOR SAVING THESE BEES.🇺🇸😉
I love the respect you have for those bees. Keep up the good work!
I love watching and learning about Bees. Thank you for sharing!! from Northern Alberta Canada
1 gallon of tasty honey = 5 gallons of tasty mead. :)
I keep thinking the same thing! Cheers!
We call em palmetto bugs in south fl. Theyre everywhere!
Have you ever seen a palmetto bug fly?
A lot Beaver than I would be. Sticking my hand up in the soffit where I can't see? Nope. Bees, no problem. Fiddle backs or brown recluse?... I ain't gonna do it! Lol. It always gives me the willies crawling around in attics or in crawl spaces where I know they like to hide.
Oh, I always thought you said happy beekeeping is a way of life (:
Ouch!
Those roaches look very familiar, we get them that size here in Sydney, Australia. They like to nest in for trees here.
Just found this channel. I know nothing about bees but for some reason I find this fascinating :D
I find this relaxing! His voice is so soothing and the bees buzzing... Can just put me right to sleep!
Although I know very little about bees the way he explains things and his passion for beekeeping, really motivates me to learn more and maybe one day do a little bee keeping myself 😍
I just discovered your channel and watching you do your thing really relaxes me!! Thank you for your videos!
Thanks so much for the great comment.
At 17:07 a little girl was hangin on , don't take me ha ha , Love your videos !!!
I don't know how a drone can perform with a crowd like that. :)
MyHollowpoint 😂
I guess they figure they're dead if they do and dead if they don't so may as well go out in a blaze of glory with the whole town watching and rooting for them.
I know the feeling :)
Can't be a shy guy in a hive. ;)
The sky is the limit :)
Man Everytime I watch your video and you yank a comb out then the honey just flows out reminds me a little of heaven
Anyone else eat their fresh local honey while watching? Lol
That was some beautiful looking honey coming out of the hive. Thanks for bringing us along on your extraction. What camera do you use to record?
On this one it was Iphone 7 through the whole thing.
Love your rival with Mr. Ed!!!! Huge fan of the Dirt Rooster!!!!
Awesome!
Glad you're back with the videos ! Always cool to see the things you run into :)
Thanks for watching Jay
I wish I had your weather. We have had 2-3 weeks of spring and now have a forecasted low of 19° Saturday and 3-4 inches of snow on Friday. That will be the end of our early spring flowers.
Holy smokes! Do you have a sled dog team to get you to work in the winter?
Northwest Oklahoma....only place on earth you can have drought, floods, blizzards, tornadoes, hail, earthquakes and firestorms in the same week.
Colorful bee yard! Bee Blessed Danny and Rita in TN on Rooster's Ridge
Rooster's Ridge? lol
That hive seemed nice and calm.
It's this nice weather.
I love your videos!!
was that not the queen in the 2nd side of the swarm duplex? the lone bee by the dead queen in the queen cell looked like a queen...
Cool a new video before bed 👍
Northerdevil truee
Sleep tight. :)
GREAT stuff! Thank you so much for taking us along! Always great learning experience. Blessings, my friend!
Thanks JD
You are quite the trooper! God sure loves you to give you the strength to do all that!! Great video!!
Been learning a watching a lot but hadn't seen this one, that was almost a mirror to my first cut out. (minus the roaches)
So you said you were gonna get your store up and running. That was a while ago. I want a 628 DirtRooster hat.
I suddenly want some of that honey!
We are really excited to be subscribed to your channel. We are raising bees also. Learning a lot from your channel.
10:20 that happens because he has a bigger smile! (Even bigger than a horse!!)
After all that's why they call him "Mr Ed"..LOL.
Don't worry , people like Duck Dynasty will call you!! LOL..
The title could be: Rooster Hacks starring 629 Dirt Rooster, filming by 629 Dirt Rooster, casting by 629 Dirt Rooster, stunts by 629 Dirt Rooster, editing by Dirt Rooster. THIS HAS BEEN. A 629 DIRT ROOSTER PRODUCTION.
LOL
Never have rain gutters on a house EVER AGAIN! all they do is rot wood! OMG THE BEES HITTING THE SUGAR WATER HARD! Means Storms coming. Got to run! Lowe's Delivering my new riding lawn mower Cheers brother
Id happily do a cut out with you. Always wanted to do cut outs and learn about bees n stuff. I watch lots of videos but dont personally know any local beekeepers here in Picayune, MS lol. I convinced my friend to call a bee keeper rather than an exterminator a few weeks ago for some bees that started making home under their house.
There is a club in Picayune. You should check them out.
628DirtRooster omg id love too. Ima see if I can find them online. Hubby would never let me have bee's though lol. 😂
I had no idea queens are born like that... And raining honey. Amazing.
They are pretty neat.
What I learned after 1 year doing bees is . If you work them without protection, you move slow and there may be times that you have to stop what you are doing for a minute or two.
If you get stung benedryl does wonders.
I am not so sure if I would lick/eat that honey after knowing that there where roaches feasting on it.
True, true and haha. :)
Another wonderful educational video Rooster. I hope someday you'll be able to afford a HD video camera.
Some beautiful black bees on that cut out.
Theres no bee keepers in my town or the surrounding town , I'm sooo ready to start keeping bees
17:05 That bee was like, "Nooooooo, you can't make me gooooooo!"
They hang on pretty tight.
Very informative, thank you!
Thank you for commenting.
that honey looks proper good.
Subscribed today already love the channel
It has been a great year so far this far south for nectar. I didn’t see a lot of robbing wasps and bees though... that’s a hard condition to work in. Great job!
15 bee stings, that’s sort of a good thing. If you had or have arthritis I’m sure it’s much better! Have a great day.
I love this, even though I am terrified of them. Saw my first honey bee in Cape Breton a week ago. I haven't seen any in 5 or more years. We have bumblebees but honey bees are few and far between
Glad you're seeing them again. Maybe they're building up in the area.
That honey dripping at 13.34 made my mouth water little. 😋😋
Hey Rooster it’s a way of life buddy. Wow that’s a lot of bees now.
Brother, I do not envy you on an overhead job like that one was with honey dripping down on everything! But I guess it goes with the territory, eh? Those first few combs you brought out sure did look delicious, though.
This is off topic but I've been meaning to ask you how your dad is doing? I hope you don't mind me asking? But I recently watched a video you did from a couple years back and you had mentioned that he was having a bit of a rough go of it at the time. Being that I'm an old dog myself, us old guys kind of try to watch out for each other, ya know. I hope he's doing better and feeling well. Please send him my regards, if you would.
He's having a rough go of it lately. Been talking about a knee replacement now.
Thanks for your reply! Old age ain't for sissies, that's fersure!
those roaches that came in for honey are HUGE
Great video! As always, you make me feel like a coward ;)
Oh there's nothing to sticking your face right up to the hive while you dig bare handed for comb. lol
628DirtRooster Right, Nothing at all... ;)
Amazing!
If I ever go to America I’d love to see all of your bees I’m Australian and live in a domestic location so I can only have a small number which I’ll be starting very soon
Nice video,real interesting.!Thx for the vid.
Thanks for the comment Terry.
Good stuff, keep it up!
He doesn't react at all when he gets stung, just casually points out the stinger 😳
Have you ever thought about making honey mustard sauce? I'd buy it for sure and it would help for your retirement. Think about it please.
Nice cut out, and gorgeous honey!
It was a warm up. :)
Good timing nice relaxin video before bed. Does the hive with he banked queens feed those queens? or do they survive off that candy plug?
Prestige Clash There are nurse bees in and on the cage that tend to her majesty's needs.
cool thx. i wasn't sure if they would see the queens as a threat and either leave them or try and kill them.
love this video!
Awesome video Randy!! Love it 🐝🐝🐝☮️
Thanks Tim. It was going to be two videos but people have been commenting wanting longer vids so I just used everything I shot that day. An hour and twenty minutes of 4K video. More video storage equipment to come. lol
This is such an AMAZING intro to honeybees! I have so many questions and the first one is why don't they swarm on you and sting you as soon as you start moving stuff around in their hive? And why do they let you cut the honeycomb without stinging you? What is the can of smoke for? The topic of "banked queens" is fascinating!! Where do you live? Looks like maybe some place where it is hot and humid.
South Mississippi
Can we get a tour of all of your colonies? You've collected so many bees over the years I'd love to see how many you have. Do you even remember where each one came from?
I got a question.... For removing comb up overhead like that? Why could you not make a specific special knife with?? Say the first inch bent to a 90 degree like ( 7 ) with a handle being on the bottom of the 7?? Yea I know it would probably take a lot of wrist strength.... But for jobs like that of course the first comb you would have to rip out but after that you could slice between the wood an comb. Wouldn't it make a lot less sticky mess? It was just an idea that struck me watching this video...just curious if something like that would work and make it easier for you making the job faster to remove...or wouldn't it work? But was a nice size ... Thanks
I've asked two different knife makers to build that exact thing and neither has come through. It has to be a specific angle and I guess it sounds simple but apparently it's not that easy to make or maybe they just aren't interested in getting paid. One quoted sixty bucks and I said OK. Never heard from him again.
@@628DirtRooster well the only known problem I would know, is after you heat it up to bend it, you have to re temper to steel an that I know from experience. Too hot and you crystallize the steel making the blade break off.. too cold of a temper will make the blade soft and bend and not holding its shape.. but this much I know the old forge guys could do it in a heartbeat.. sadly most of the old boys are long gone and with them went the art... Guess I just found a government project for my nephew ;-) he's been practicing for a year he wants to go on that TV show forged in fire.. yep I'll be getting back to you.. coz I'm an old goat but I know it can be done .. laughing we might go through to three knives blades till he perfect The re temper...edit you lefty or right handed? That will be a determining factor on which way to bend blade an I don't think 90 deg is right I would guess about an 80° angle..
Always love the videos, keep doing what you do.
So nice of you. :)
Your efforts and pain are very much appreciated.
Thanks Samantha
Excellent again, as usual.
Thanks Dabprod
Sooo Effing fascinating! Love yer Channel!
Dirt Rooster you did good without bee suit on, not me I am going suit up, nice job.
I do when I have to. It so hot here though.
that honey looks so clean and yummy. I don't remember a video on different hives you cut out, where for one reason or another you would not eat the honey. have you done some? Have there been bee's that something wrong with them, so you would not save them?
Hello, I love the channel. I want to get some hives now that it's spring. Do you have a guide on how to build boxes and frames, rather than buying them?
Zach Mueller I've made all my hives. There are lots of plans online. Search for "Langstroth hive plans". Here is a great site with all kinds of plans: beesource.com/build-it-yourself/
morningchores.com/beehive-plans/
Hope that helps; happy beekeeping!
Watch out for Horchoff he will soon grab them
I call daily to find out where he is.
Nice video thanks for taking the time to record...
It seems I record everything these days.
Wow , that is a lot of good honey! Good Gravy - can't have squishy undies! LOL Have a great week Randy ~karen
