I liked the Mighty Mouse reference. 😊 " 🎵 Here I come to save the day"
Been a few decades since I've seen that cartoon
Ive learned so much watching you over the years.
Been watching your videos for years. 10 probably. Still enjoy every one of them! Cheers from Georgia buddy!
Thanks so much for the support Shaney
Thank you for sharing. Watching your videos have helped me. My son and me have done 2 cut outs. I wish I would have recorded them to put on my channel. Thanks again.
I hope they went well.
Thank you Randy. The one, the only 628dirtrooster. Never miss a video. Your channel is the best I’ve come across re honey bees. Thank you for sharing your adventures.
Thanks for the love Carol.
interesting lecture on the medical uses of honey and propolis.
Suggestion for crafter making belt holster for pry tool: make pocket for tool deeper, covering more of the pry tool, which might take some leverage off the magnet...maybe...
Lots of good information. Enjoyed the video. Thanks and take care.
How's it going in the hot and windy state of Oklahoma?
@@628DirtRooster tornadoes and lots of rain. Everything hear is blooming if it will quit raining long enough. Privet is just starting to bloom. All wildflowers, honeysuckle and wild roses are going crazy. I’ve managed to dodge all the severe weather so far. How about you?
@@GEEZBEEZ Privet and Ligustrum have played out. Chinese Tallow should start this week. There's something to eat out there because the bees aren't touching the cut out combs.
Weather has been fairly pleasant up until last week. It's getting hot and humid.
‘Breathability’…..you sure you’re from Mississippi. This was a fun video with how you put it all together. I’d love to have that lady over for a bee meeting. Interesting stuff and I’m sure the propolis talk was just a small portion.
She’d be glad to come.
@@628DirtRooster I’m not president anymore, but I might mention it anyhow.
Hi Randy, we’ve had a terrible summer over here in the UK , rain rain and a ton more rain total washout, no honey crop my bees are going robbing crazy and I’ve been feeding them since the start of September to get them ready for the winter, can already see most beekeepers are struggling with the summer harvest because the prices of honey has doubled in price in all stores. I hope this is just a blip but I’ve noticed the last say five years our weather has been pretty darn awful, here’s hoping the weather gets better. Thank you Randy I really enjoyed your video.
It’s been pretty much the same for us over here except for the opposite reason. It’s been dry as a popcorn fart this year and nectar production is at a minimum. Bee die offs are high and so are honey prices.
Randy, That video had it all! Let that girl mow… Oh, and that’s one smart Mississippi “Beach-keeper”. Always enjoy your videos.
You the man DirtRooster!
You da man Joe!
I think the colonies are happier (hmmm, ok, less angry?) when I just suck the queen up into the vac with the rest of them. And maybe that's my excuse because I rarely find her! (of course it doesn't help that I don't look for her...). Very nice video, the triple swarm in one spot was a new one for me! I've seen two colonies 6" apart, but not 3 colonies.
Mr. Ed and Yappy both get depressed if they don't find the queen.
Love the swarm catches! I have three bait hives hanging on trees in my backyard and 2 sitting on my trailer to go someplace. I've been walking past my trailer today and there are bees investigating one of the hives on the trailer and no one around the other four. Hmmm... I am wondering if I have a swarm on my trailer. We will see.
I have an Amish beekeeper raising queens about 6 miles from me. I got 7 queen cells on Saturday 5/6. I took a short video of me removing the empty cell on Friday 5/12. Talk about shaking. You have nothing on my shakes! 😉
I'm learning a lot about bees and beekeeping from your videos (and Jeff's)! Definitely going to find a source close to me for some local raw honey. Also very interesting about the propolis.
Hey Rooster 🐓 I pray y’all are doing great Amen 🙏
We are doing really good Randle. I pray you and your family are all happy and healthy. Stay safe my friend.
Love ya all from🇨🇦
Good video Randy, hope you have a great season this year, have a great day Randy :)
Thanks buddy. Hope all is well with y'all.
Look ma, the bees are eating cotton candy 🍬
Hey, did no one pick up on the Mighty Mouse quote? You're dating yourself, Randy! Love your videos. Giving me the confidence to try again. Thanks.
Completely agree got the whole belt from Amish works FANTASTIC quality but the magnet has to be stronger mine constantly falls out and I’m picking up. Carry two extra hive tools just because of that sucks. Thinking about adding a magnet to it to help 🤷🏼♂️
Your luck is better than mine. I have found on a established colony if the queen flies behind the hive she never makes it back. If she flies in front of the hive she makes it back no problem. I figure that maybe some of her field bees help guide her back. Obviously this is just a theory.
They don’t like being messed with at dark!! I need to get me a new Guardian Bee jacket. I’ve been using mine for 4 years and it’s getting very holy! I wear painters pants and put my hive tool in the leg pocket
Nice looking tool holder...if the hive tool is metal, could you epoxy a small magnet to the leather which may help hold the tool in place?...Cheers from Maine
Probably could but I already gave it away to a skinny beekeeper.
Good to see ya working bees my friend.😁
I wish we/ i had bees in Ohio like you do there. Everything is dead here. Terrible. I am ready to get a suit etc. I only one ran into one tribe once, I was cutting a fallen tree, 1985-6. The chainsaw was flying through the middle, figured it was rotten. It was, but with a bee hive. Luckily, or bless I was it was winter. I felt bad. I took the sawed off piece pushed it up to the tree with extra insulation tried to keep them warmer. Went back later and found that part of the hive died. I need a hive, bees. I pray soon. I need a pet.
50,000 of them, yes the Queen is the King here. Oh, if you looked, that was a D sized cup. nice lookin.
At first I thought you were going to call Jeff (Mr. Ed) a little twig 🤣 @jeff Horchoff
Well he has been losing weight.
@@628DirtRooster all that good lovin!
Just admit it sir you need glasses to find the queen!!! Lol!!! I know I do. Lol!! Great video ol’ boy.
I refuse to admit defeat.
@@628DirtRooster I was trying to myself until my wife said she was tired of hearing me complain about it. Soooooo now I have an appointment Monday at the eye doctor!! Lol!! I was already using readers anyway. Keep up the great work.
Immer wieder klasse Dir zuzusehen. Es sind hier bei uns sehr viele angefangen Bienen zu halten. Aber auch für Wildbienen. Ich hoffe es gefällt deiner Schwester gut bei uns. Toll dass sowas alles möglich ist. Wünsche dir weiterhin viel Erfolg. Gruß Georg
Love the video Randy! Your video and editing skills continue to get better and better. For some reason here in Upstate South Carolina everything is blooming and there are more swarms than usual because beekeepers can’t keep up. Hope your year gets better.
@wo, I am in Camden and on my 150 acres I have caught 8..but this weather is crazy.
Not a bee keeper, but started watching a ton of videos. Curious about this bee vacuum and I am astonished that they can live in the insulation. Doesn't the insulation effect them? Trying to vacuum up all of that, doesnt the insulation effect/infect the honey and wax and effect harvesting later? Do you give all of it back to the bees?
I live in an apartment, but want to take up beekeeping. LOL.
You have have a good music match to your videos
Also I live in "moss point " about 5 miles north of i10.. exit 69.. and we have plenty of sweet gums .. figured yall did too
I kind of wish we did but there are none I now of around here.
@@628DirtRooster do bees benefit from them?
I can collect you a box of the sweet gum "devil balls" if you want some.
They're so much fun stepping on them barefoot when running across the yard because you didn't take the trash out the night before.. and you hear the truck closing in
Hey Randy, love all you videos. I've learned a lot from them. I'm a hobby beekeeper near Bel Air MD. I've started doing a few cutouts. I bought an everything bee vac. Its been great. Last week after removing a very small queen less hive the homeowner said that a local exterminator had been her house twice and treated. Since there were so few bees I went to the next larger job without taking those bees home. After a day of letting the bees settle down I looked in the hive to find that half were dead and the other half are struggling. Do you think its pesticide and can I clean it out of my vac? Have you ever run into this?
I’ve had this happen a few times. I clean mine with Dawn. I just flush the bucket and hose real good.
So the queen I had fly away was young. I hope she came back I got tired waiting
Great video!
Good way to get to sleep. :)
Dam I knew some girls in highschool that probably could of used some propolis to keep the herps away😂
🤣
*Regarding Flavinoids:* The soft, white, pithy part that lines the peels of citruses is absolutely _LOADED_ with Flavinoids, and a great adjunct to the more juicy parts of the fruits. (Flavinoids "potentiate" Vitamin C, which means makes Vitamin C work better!) All my life I've enjoyed eating that soft, white, pithy lining right along with the juicy portions of oranges & nectarines, so wasn't too surprised when I found out that it was actually very good for you!
Although Pliny was NOT exactly the best doctor of all time, he did pretty well for his time.
Trying not to get stung putting those bees in the cage with her is the hardest part
That's where the finger dots come from.
If you pick very fuzzy young nurse bees,they are less likely to sting.
Im wondering why bee keepers don't grow say Australian Grevilleas trees which generally flower most year round. Not needing much water & not liking wet feet so easy to grow. More candles (flowers) you clip the more flowers you get.
Interesting video, I wish my bees in SW Missouri were that easy to deal with. The warmer weather must be the difference the locations, even though we can get over 100 Deg in June, July thru Aug. We've been in the 80's for the past week or so with times below but the bees I've interacted with are way more protective. Southern bee keeping seems to be an entirely different story, our swarms will tear you up I have learned if you aren't suited up, upper body at least. Love that covid made me watch your videos to spark my want for bees I had back in the 90's before family obligations overruled what I wanted to do back then.
Our bees have that southern hospitality bred into them. haha
I keep forgetting I have a bee vac. Would have saved me a bunch of stings lol.
I thought you had one. Get that thing on the charger.
How is your dad doing miss seeing him you're video
He's doing ok lately other than his legs. He can barely walk.
Them little fellers keep the world going people don’t realize it
They are females
My hive tool holder failed too. Needs a stronger magnet for sho!
That or a shorter lighter weigh hive tool might work good in it.
Quick Rooster!!! Call Mr. Ed. He’ll find that queen for you! Lol. JK.
Awesome
I cannot tell you how many times you say things and exactly the same has happend to me. I have to check all my hives make sure rooster or mr edd not hiding under there haha Do you remember when you had tow queens of one frame? My uncle on his other channel had the same in the same week. We went deep into the woods where we have some totally wild hives and 3 queens in one hive. So real life evidence supports what you say about out in nature.
top left frame at 7:20
When you 2 are on a job sometimes you remind me of Yoge Bear and Boo Boo. ❤❤ what alcohol is used..?
Hey Randy,over the last week I've seen 3 Hives swarm.
2 left the box and the 3rd left and they recaptured.
I haven't heard if they are still in the box.
I keep seeing her tail end scoot off ,dang!
Good grab👍.
So when you vacuum the swarm ,do you leave it in the tub for a while so they don't leave?
JO JO IN VT 💞
If you need those gum balls, i can send you tons. They are everywhere here.
Haha Plugging up hives is the only useful thing I know to do with them.
Funny fact Randy my maiden name was Twiggs with 2 g's.
I have a question and I was recently in Reno and we went up to Castle Crags and I have a video on big ... things flying around. They were everywhere and I am really keen to know what they are. We thought a bumble bee but I can't see any yellow. It isn't the easiest to see but I am wondering if I can send you a private link on youtube? I thought that might be a safe way... I know you have to be careful of weirdos and sending bad links but if I post it to my channel and send you the private link??? I can say it is safe but then anyone can say that. I just really want to know what they are. They were huge!
I don't think I would eat the comb. The queens hide good
Mr Ed said you drive a rolling clothes hamper.😂😂😂. Are you gonna take that? I tried to defend you I told him that wasnt your clothes hamper, I told him it was your kitchen table. I told him I saw you eating a bacon sandwich(which I just know you lathered up in honey) sitting in that seat behind that drvers wheel. Yoy gonna beat him in the swarm catch competition this year? How do you ever let him win? Your bigger than he is. 😊😊😊
Mr. Ed is just jealous that he can't settle in to a vehicle. The Abbey might repo that thing at any time and he doesn't want to loose his good shirts if they take it. His is a stressful life.
Hey Mr. Randy. I have been following you for a couple of years now. You and Mr. Ed pretty much are the only two I follow but I do look at all the beekeeping channels off and on to learn. I have been beekeeping now for four years and have a lot more to learn, but between you and Mr. Ed, I’ve learned a lot already. Especially when it comes to swarms and cut outs. I offered to help out with Jeff since he basically is in my neighborhood but it seems he has enough people I guess. He still owes me a tour of the Abby and a bottle of honey. That was my prize for runner up on his dirty old bee suit giveaway. LOL The honey I don’t need and I gave up on the tour. Anyway you two deliver different styles of videos that all can learn from and enjoy watching. I like your style of video more so because of the bits and pieces you share from Nell area where are you? Gather your babies either and cut outs go swimming and you bring your wife along from time to time. Anyhow, keep up the great work is tons of questions I could ask you, but maybe that’ll be for another day if we were across each other. God bless and be safe. Oh!, I post a few of my own, sometimes on my UA-cam channel. “RETIREMANN”. I would appreciate any feedback you have. And I tried finding it but I’m not sure how are you used all came about your title 628 dirt rooster? Thanks.
You need to come on down and take that tour. Maybe do it when he's pulling honey supers and make him pay you in cappings wax.
@@628DirtRooster I would help and volunteer. I know he always has a lot of people for that. I wouldn’t want to take wax. I’m small with six hives and get enough from my harvest so far. I just love to learn. I’m always learning something new. One question you might answer. I had a hive go crazy on me about two weeks ago. Can’t figure it out. I had s jacket on and had to stop and put a full suit on. Took them 20 minutes to leave me alone about 60’ away. I made a video on it “surprise inspection “
Could you recommend your favorite smoker? Grateful.
I use the Dadant 4x10 with the finger guard.
@@628DirtRooster thx!!!
How can you get propolis? I woul live to make a tincture & tooth paste.
Randy do you process and sell Propolis tincture?
No but Bob and Jane Collins do. They are the ones who brought the talk at the end of the video. facebook.com/robertlc
@@628DirtRooster Thank you very much.
He said, BRING IT OVER, why can't you catch it?! The she started talkin about mowin. He said no It would not bother him over there. She kept going. Then he kept quiet, then you seen a cut in the clip ( yes you did bother the video, you should have just brought that big, little little fuzzy round ball of waddling feathers over, why? Because I seen them once and I want a coiple (hundred) nah just 3 or four. Time to put her in a a cage. Heh, heh, so funny, about 5 years back when your wife got locked in a cage. Cried out! It was not for a bait either, she really did, get into a man sized cage and the door shut in a garden area. He waited and she ask to be let go. He played it. Oh man.
Thank you Doctor osaye for the encouragement and word's of advice you gave, your medication did a great impact on my health, and my herpes is permanently gone,I am blessed that you are my doctor..
At 37:37 The Sweet gum ball, huh? We all don't live down thar. I had to look it up. Didn't know if it was an accessory or chewin gun rolled into wood shavings. Neither sweet or a dang gumball, or an accessory but ya need an accessory to get it out. Bee keepin, I'm thinkin again whether or not. I will need a Bee Keeping Nomenclature Book of Sciences to study so I can be a bee Keeper like Ham Radio operator. Stung three times, nope, your a Novice, go to the back. I am at the back, well then go to the front. Well then at the back of the front of the back i go. The guy at the back then says, we are at the front, but we are standing backwards. Now wait a minute. Hey sting me again, I gotta get outta here.
23:30 "Queens"? (Mating Nukes^) you say, 'pull all these Queens', sorry, trying, just not grasping skill, yet. Where? How are Queens 'raised' together?^ Confuses what thought learned. {{sigh}} haha seen w\ 2, but 'Queen Parlar' (Daycare)?
^ Your speaking of Larva, QueenS Laying; How many Queens on frame?
Raising Queens: How are Nurses to know to Feed larva for Queens when wanting multiples - *'Queendom'?*
I have lots more studying to do, again. serves me right for concentrating on other things. *Thanks so Much!* : }
Strap it to your leg
Good video but I’d rather watch you do your thing. Lol
Thanks Carol. More coming.
So, eat more honey and bee less stupid? Got it. Ty.
First
Will be last
You take that job you were looking at?
@@628DirtRoosterI thought the was the day before I showed up
