    / @628dirtrooster This job was done in August of 2019. We're removed another hive out of this house on the other side of the porch last week. I'll include some still shots of the house on that video when ever I get around to putting it up.
    We have new Dirt Rooster merch out now. Some of the new shirts are for the Tennessee Hive Life conference in January but are available on our web site now. 628-dirt-rooster.myshopify.com/

    I usually don't buy honey from the store. Because of pasteurization and processing it just doesn't taste right, besides that, a lot of the time it's mostly just high fructose corn syrup anyway, (Be sure to read the ingredients).
    I always buy my raw honey from local suppliers, usually at the farmer's market.

    That's a good yard. If I were a honeybee? I'd move in, too!
    Every once in awhile, I get a sting that doesn't really sink in for about 30 seconds. It hurts like normal at first, then it mashes on the gas pedal.
    Like getting kicked in the junk, but more acute.

      @ObamfSPIKE i give Rooster static about getting stung up.
      Truth be known, I get my lunch ate at least once a week. It's just nice knowing I'm not the only one!
      Some of these other keepers act as if it never happens to them. That's why I'm a loyal viewer here.
      This channel (our host) is honest about what really happens.
      Respect to the ladies for being loyal and putting their life down to protect the queen. People new to this learn from people true to this. All joking aside, mad respect to the Rooster for not editing out the ugly truth of it.

      @beefriendlychannel7965 2 роки тому +5

      @ObamfSPIKE Exactly. My catch phrase is "I get stung, so you don't have to."
      Part of NOT getting stung is knowing what makes them angry.
      That ceiling fan splattering bee guts everywhere could explain a few things, but I'm not going to tell the Rooster that. Ill just sit here and enjoy the show.

Now that I'm older and more wise, I get angry with myself for making her have to do that. They put their life down for the survival of their queen and sisters on instinct alone. Mad respect to the ladies.

      @@markmurphy8303 oh, and yes. I avoid any stings. It's not about the pain, but about one less bee showing up for work in the morning.
      Once in awhile they get caught between the folds of my clothing or in the armpit when I'm reaching up, then my arm comes down on her. Maybe in the gap on my sleeve between the buttons or under the glove (just regular work gloves). If the clothes are just a tiny bit thicker than the stingers, they tend to just scratch the skin a little. I had one today drain itself into my hand because I thought it was on the outside. Little did I know she got inside the glove until I took it off in the truck. My hand looks like a burrito as a result, but again... it was my fault, not hers.

    If you want me to I'll gladly ask Charlie if he would give Pete some tips on videoing removals, Charlie is a really awesome teacher. Also, maybe you should have put your watermelon hand next to the rat's body instead of your foot, it would have made it look like a mouse. Oh yea, speaking of your watermelon hand, good thing those studs were on 2 foot centers, your hand fit easily in between them. Great video and a good removal as well, to bad the bees temperament was nasty. God's peace brother.

    I think of you a lot... someone I know who has been a beekeeper for over 40 years went out to his hive area ... and for whatever reason (environmental?) the bees weren't playing that day, and he was stung over 100 times on his hands and arms ... he didn't even realize it, just saw all of the bees covering him... well, he made it inside and collapsed and was paralyzed a bit before he could call for help... he is in the hospital, and the bee venom has shut down his kidneys (renal failure) ... he is in dialysis for now...

    I recently had occasion to use one of those "Giant Ladders" and it was the most uncomfortable ladder experience I have ever had. I've spent a lot of time on extension ladders too. Those rungs kill my feet, calves and ankles. I'll stick with Werner now.

    Randy, did you end up keeping that hive in one of your yards? I don't know that I'd want some perpetually angry bees.

    I am in Ontario Canada and have not seen a honey bee in two years. When l was a kid you saw them all the time. Now only bumblebees and the tiny bees. A shame, its like, where have all the bees gone? I can't ever get local honey anymore.

    I found a dead bee by my door with it's little tongue still out. I think my cat killed it. I saved it to show my grand children.

    I would be interested in learning more about propolis and how bees make it and how they use it.
    Are there things that a beekeeper can learn from the quality or quantity or type of propolis ?
    Are there varieties of propolis ?
    Is propolis useful for the beekeeper ?

    • @quadg5296

      Propolis is tree/plant resin mixed with bee saliva and a little wax. They collect the Sap/Resin when foraging.
      The particular make up of the propolis depends on the bee hive and what resin is locally available.
      And local conditions like temp and humidity.
      So its slightly different in every hive.
      Propolis is used as a traditional medicine, and by some wood instrument makers.

      @@quadg5296 so do some beekeepers collect and sell propolis to the wooden instrument makers and others ?
      Are there any uses for propolis that beekeepers have ?
      If propolis is good for wooden instruments is it also good for wooden bee hives, for example ?
