You are one lucky duck!! A gorgeous colony, boxed up and ready to roll, and it came with spare, brand-spanking new virgin queens! There might've been a few hiccups, but all in all, a job splendidly done~
I just want to say that i am a huge fan of your channel Dirt Rooster. I love watching you and Mr. Ed both. I think it's awesome you guys have a friendly competition, and are also cool buddies. Makes me smile watching you guys. Thank you both and God bless you all.
The sale of the house will close tomorrow, so you must (1) locate the bees, (2) open the wall, (3) remove the bees, (4) repair the wall, and (5) write a letter informing the buyer that everything is okay now. ... and while you're at it, how 'bout fixin' a couple of leaky faucets, and the roof should be re-shingled, and then re-paint the living room, and then .......
Haaa! They always wait until the last minute and then have a bunch of hoops for me to jump through. I did two others last week that had just rented and need bees out immediately. I guess I should quit everything else I have going on and set up my office at the fire department for these life threatening emergencies they call me with. I can't complain though. I enjoy it too much.
All the niceness goes away the instant you set the rate at $100/hr plus expenses for a guy who wears six hats. Beekeeper, carpenter, roofer, siding installer, hvac tech, exterminator, and flooring specialist.
I've done bee removals where we repaired the damages too. One comes to mind where masonry and a scaffold was involved and the bill was in the thousands. I've run into ppl that think it's going to be free as well. Uh uh. I was not kidding about $100/hour.
Love it, love it, love it... this was an awesome video Randy!! A swarm, plus a removal. Finding the queen, plus finding capped queen cells!! So many excellent camera angles! Thanks for taking the time to edit and piece it all together !! Fantastic work. 🐝🐝🐝☮️
Man it was like winning a sweepstakes. Gifts were just being thrown at me from all directions. lol Thanks for the love Tim. Can't wait for you next vid.
Randy you are amazing at pinpointing where the bees are at. I mean they are behind walls, under floors, in roofs, etc.... and you are always within inches of hitting the exact spot.....YOU ROCK bud👍👍👍👍
I had to laugh when that swarm cluster fell to pieces right as you were trying to get it into a box. Same happened to me last weekend, only I was lucky enough to have the queen fall into the box. Kudos on a textbook hive transplant, and thanks for another excellent video.
I had a friend who left an open carton of orange juice on a picnic table. When he returned, he took a swig and spit out a bunch of yellow jackets. I used his experience to write a poem called "Mouthful of Bees." Sounded better than the other bugs. I got an A.
My dad got the brite idea of using straws to drink soda pop on camping trip. . It was long ago when you had to use a church key to open a can. The idea was to keep the 'bees' out. Yellow jackets crawled into the straw and dad got sent to the ER with stings inside his mouth. Ouch.
I fell down this UA-cam hole and I’m so glad I did! I had no knowledge of how bee keeping works and it’s totally fascinating and beautiful. Thanks for the awesome videos!
Het Rooster, I really liked this video. It is cold and rainy in Pa and not supposed to clear until Wednesday. This was a great day after church to watch your videos.....Rick
After all that activity outside the hive was surprisingly subdued inside of the house, I was expecting a lot more of them to get riled up once you peeled back the wall!
I expected mad bees to pour out when you opened up the sheetrock. For a second I thought the cavity was gonna be empty. But nope, they were just sittin there as calm as the society column of a newspaper.
I'd have to try a reptipro plugged in to put brood in as many cutouts as you do,I've hatched drones in incubator (don't ask lol) so I think it'd work, maybe couple wet sponges in it instead of water lol
those are what we call off set tin snips ( i used to do construction).. that Japanese saw ought to work just fine but it works differently than a normal saw it cuts on the opposite stroke than a normal saw
I watch you do all of these cutouts un-suited. I have done two cutouts, they swarmed out to sting the gloves, hundreds of stingers in my gloves, trying to get my face, pheromones everywhere, people stung anywhere near the work being done for two days on one case, hundreds of feet. They are still mean enough to swarm me in the hive. I am to the point of never doing another cutout over this.... What gives? My hives are suit-less gentle, no veil. Stark contrast.
I don't honestly think so, I think its just bad luck but? I think the first had a weak queen and became a laying worker plus queen colony, had multiple hive beetles and varoaa even in multiples with the workers that were just hatching out and they well out numbered by the drones in that colony, they were super thick. They are still in that laying worker pattern and I am just going to dump them. The second I think had just swarmed, they were full of queen cells, had quite a few hive beetles etc. Somehow they failed to make queen with the many cells they had with the full frame cutout combs I had given them with many queen cells and when I checked them three weeks later they were still meaner than hell and had hatched everything with not a single egg or capped brood left in the cell, not even a worker egg. They were hell on the honey though but again it took hundreds of feet of walking to get them off of me to get done with the job. I don't want their genetics in anything i have. Oddly they had been in that porch 5 years and they had been super gentle the guy said. This year they changed and would attack anyone all year. He was ready to burn the porch off the house. They were attacking the AC unit en mass when I showed up to remove them and for the two days it took me, just to show you how aggressive they were. They were getting chopped up but dumping enough pheromones that more kept arriving to be slaughtered even though the AC was around the other side of the house out of sight of the hive. I will let them die down and dump them and give one of my recent nucs their supplies. I do think there is an issue out that way, those two cutouts were within 5 miles. I had also found a swarm landing in a tree between these two and stopped to watch, one came a ways after me just to sting me in the eye. They are usually quite docile at swarm so this was odd too. The rest were acting fairly aggressive too. if AHB is in east KS we are all in trouble. I cant see that with the temps in the winter here but something is up in that area. Are russians a possibility?
Aside from all the obvious (genetics, weather, food stores, predators/parasites, queen health, etc.) also consider your own behavior. What are you doing differently with a cutout than with a box hive? Are you causing a draft? Breathing onto them? Causing shocks/vibrations? Bring a scent?
Oh no, They had started nailing people for just being in their line of site before I even tore into their hive on the last one. The first was only marginally better. I can't say there weren't plenty of indications they would be mean, I just wonder where the nice ones are at. :)
@jsauerii - As I mentioned, in that case it may be either circumstances, or genetics. If they don't become more docile once they're in a healthy hive, you might want to replace the queen with one from a less aggressive colony, and remove any drone brood.
Started watching this, got to the swarm falling off the branch and had to stop and think a bit........ rewind to the start and no, it was Randy welcoming us all back to the 628 Dirt Rooster channel where hobby beekeeping is a waaaay of life....... thought I was tuned in to Mr Ed's channel with those kind of antics- but then there wasn't the associated squealing like a teenage girl when the bees dropped......... I guess that should have confirmed whos video it was.
Sure I'll go with you if I can stay in the house and watch! Good place to be and never be far away from bacon and shrimp sammiches or bees maybe. Good job, Randy! A-PLUS! I guess you saw Mr. Ed 5 feet off the ground with no parachute or oxygen mask. Miracles will never cease!
I really love and appreciate the videos I’ve learned a lot just got my bee jacket in and some of my big gear I’m working on getting a few hives I can’t wait to start my own bee yard you’ve been an inspiration keep making the videos🐝
Randy, I have a question for you. I an dying to get my own hive(s) and will after learning enough. I have been watching you and JP non stop for about 2 months. At about 10:20 on this video when you put the queen clip up on top of the hive a nurse bee comes around to the front from behind. She starts sticking her rear through the cage in a stinging kind of motion. What is her behavior about??? Thanks! Keep taking care if the "girl's ", I love watching you!! 👍👍
Thank you so much Randy. I didn't even notice they were face to face, I just saw her rear motions and couldn't figure that out. I appreciate your answer. 😊👍
Could you explain about the mating flights? I know the queen goes out and gets mated, but what causes the bee frenzy? I've never understood this bit about queens.
NEW SUB HERE ! Dude U R THE MAN ! I watched the vid of u and the other guy evicting the yellow jackets from the trailer. Love the vids, u got some Brass ones bro !
he hee don't you hate it when things don't goes as planned? They been there a while. How many good queen cells was in it? thanks for another gr8 video cheers
Russ Ian E. Lection-Hacker No i love life and the beautiful world GOD made us to live in ! SO PREFECT.> but it's better. when things work out as plan Like planting a garden> hope it rains to make it grow> When it rains you planned it at the rite time Sure i miss some times
great video-- that was a small queen-- i hope they accept her and you end up with a strong hive-- been missing my BEE GURU vids- quality over quantity --love and huggs...Glo
Iv heard people talk about queens pipping before. Is that the high pitched kazoo sound i could hear the first time you introduced the queen to the hive?
You are one lucky duck!! A gorgeous colony, boxed up and ready to roll, and it came with spare, brand-spanking new virgin queens! There might've been a few hiccups, but all in all, a job splendidly done~
Two colonies with spare parts. Who could ask for more?
I just want to say that i am a huge fan of your channel Dirt Rooster. I love watching you and Mr. Ed both. I think it's awesome you guys have a friendly competition, and are also cool buddies. Makes me smile watching you guys. Thank you both and God bless you all.

@628DR Just charge a late booking fee.

😂🤣 and do the washing up and possibly peg some washing out too.
Love it, love it, love it... this was an awesome video Randy!! A swarm, plus a removal. Finding the queen, plus finding capped queen cells!! So many excellent camera angles! Thanks for taking the time to edit and piece it all together !! Fantastic work. 🐝🐝🐝☮️

17:52 Cute bee rolls off hive.
Randy you are amazing at pinpointing where the bees are at. I mean they are behind walls, under floors, in roofs, etc.... and you are always within inches of hitting the exact spot.....YOU ROCK bud👍👍👍👍
Wow, didn't know you could keep a queen outdoor like that. Thanks much something good to know.
The tree bees looked like a heart. Awww! Lol
I was thinkin to myself, the bees are making a heart, so that means the queen is in there.
Did anybody else see the bee who fell on his back then fell of the box at 17:50 that gave me a good laugh
Rolled off like a fat kid off a bunk bed.
628DirtRooster 😂😂😂😂
lmao.
You mean Laurel?
Drone slap stick.
I just realized I’ve been watching him for four hours straight
It's so easy to do.
I have watched way too many of these videos
Awwww, you find her and then put her close to her family.. 😊
Haha
I had to laugh when that swarm cluster fell to pieces right as you were trying to get it into a box. Same happened to me last weekend, only I was lucky enough to have the queen fall into the box.
Kudos on a textbook hive transplant, and thanks for another excellent video.
They just weren't holding on tight enough. lol
That's awesome.. A swarm and a cutout within 30 ft!! I am not that lucky!! Another great video!!
One of those twofers. Can't beat them.
THAT IS 1 HUGE HIVE IN THAT WALL🐝👍🏻💯❗️❗️❗️❗️❗️❗️❗️
YET ANOTHER
GR8 JOB
BY THE DIRT ROOSTER❗️❗️❗️❗️❗️❗️
Thanks Mark. I wish they were all close to the ground like that.
Their they go marching into the box it's just like magic, lol love it.
I had a friend who left an open carton of orange juice on a picnic table. When he returned, he took a swig and spit out a bunch of yellow jackets. I used his experience to write a poem called "Mouthful of Bees." Sounded better than the other bugs. I got an A.
LOL I hope there was some beat boxing in it.
Just make sure they're drones.
Does he scream in b flat now?
My dad got the brite idea of using straws to drink soda pop on camping trip. . It was long ago when you had to use a church key to open a can. The idea was to keep the 'bees' out.
Yellow jackets crawled into the straw and dad got sent to the ER with stings inside his mouth. Ouch.
Such a fascinating hobby to watch.
Give it a try. You'll love it.
I noticed you're about to hit 1,000 subs. Nice!
Watchin these little guys march to the box never gets old. 4:47
I fell down this UA-cam hole and I’m so glad I did! I had no knowledge of how bee keeping works and it’s totally fascinating and beautiful. Thanks for the awesome videos!
Thanks for the great comment.
15:09 I didn’t know that queen bees make this kind of noise . Learnt something new . Thanks
I enjoy watching and learning about honey bees
Thanks for the views Nicholas
Not bad, 2 complete hives and an extra queen.
SCORE! lol
Het Rooster, I really liked this video. It is cold and rainy in Pa and not supposed to clear until Wednesday. This was a great day after church to watch your videos.....Rick
I hope it brings some warm dry weather your way. :)
You bee a hard working man leading an interesting life! Thank you for sharing. And for educating. I like it!
very cool. funny that the bees were impatient with you and started making comb right on the queen cage lol. Cheers from PEI Canada, Bryan.
They were in the home building mood for sure.
Hey, nice catch! Good to see the bees are busy
Been a good year.
After all that activity outside the hive was surprisingly subdued inside of the house, I was expecting a lot more of them to get riled up once you peeled back the wall!
They are usually pretty laid back when you open the back of the hive.
They were so chill. Amazing.
I think that guy was afraid you was going to take that honey back.
He started scarfing it down as soon as he got his hands on it. LOL
My guess is he just didn't want to be on the internet with honey dripping down his face onto his shirt. :D Memes happen.
That's possible.
Rob
Enjoyed this video no end. Thank you Mr. Rooster.
Thanks so much
very nice capture Randy, one of the easier ones i've seen you do
With the ones I've been getting lately I'm surprised it wasn't forty feet up on some high tension power lines.
hahahaha
What u do is just simply amazing sir. Love this channel
Very nice of you Chad
Cool to see the bees emerging from the comb
Wow! What a hive! You pinpointed it perfectly! 😎👍
Just lucky :)
Great job Randy! With a deadline like that looming, I would have been too nervous to even get started. LOL
I jump in like a fat kid in a cannonball contest.
LOL!
I never knew the Queen bees could Sing, that's actually Awesome to see and hear!
I love these videos! The commentary seriously makes them the best.
I really enjoyed watching and learning. Thanks. Professional 👍🇺🇸🖐️
That is so awesome!!! I’ve never gotten to hear a queen singing!!!
Some of them really go to town like they're playing a kazoo in a school talent show. lol
628DirtRooster that’s amazing! I wish I wasn’t allergic so I could also keep bees. It seems like such a wonderful hobby!
Je vous remercie pour ce travail ,continue, mes salutations
Thanks for your support.
Jackpot cut out. Damn, she's a good queen.
No doubt
I expected mad bees to pour out when you opened up the sheetrock. For a second I thought the cavity was gonna be empty. But nope, they were just sittin there as calm as the society column of a newspaper.
LOL They were just like those society types.
I wish it was longer I wanted to see more I really like to see you work with the Beez you're awesome 👍👏😄😄😄
Could have been much longer. This was cut out of over an hour of footage.
Make a second channel to put all the extras on.
very cool.Really like your videos.I learn something every time.
Thanks Terry
Great job
Something about the BEE March to the box just fascinates me.
13:27 -- another satisfied customer
Oh he was loving it. All he needed was a cold Coke to wash it down.
wow!! no protective gear? VERY BRAVE
You do such a great job filming. Bees really are beautiful as they work. Busy busy bees.
I'd have to try a reptipro plugged in to put brood in as many cutouts as you do,I've hatched drones in incubator (don't ask lol) so I think it'd work, maybe couple wet sponges in it instead of water lol
I'm so addicted to watching these bee videos. 😂
Nice ApiGrape Picking !
absolutely amazing 😎✔
I LOVE when you film "the march"
You gonna count that as two legit swarms to try and catch up with Jeff? :)
Heck at this point I'm counting bumble bees, butterflies, fire flies.... anything that flies.
@628DR Buy some new pants. Zipper flies count too. :)
wow you two work fast :) thanks for sharing
“Got a hair in my mouth”
Nice 👍🏼
Had to trim the stache.
good job!
what great timing that queen was probably about to take all those great queen cells out too
Hey Rooster that was a Play Flight. Watch em corkscrew up and then return back.
They were playing all right. lol
*PAPOW!* to Mister Ed for the just-happened-to-be-here swarm catch and *PAPOW!* to JP for the instant queen catch.
Rooster, you’re getting some gray in that beard! Lol.
It's UA-cam. It's making me old.
Neh, he just missed a spot with the paintbrush.
those are what we call off set tin snips ( i used to do construction).. that Japanese saw ought to work just fine but it works differently than a normal saw it cuts on the opposite stroke than a normal saw
Wow..that swarm march looks somewhat familiar...lmao
And thats some HUGE comb
Love this channel ❤️
Very calm colony of wall bees... love my pull saw... aren’t they great?
I can't be without one. I always have at least two around the house.
Marvelous
That wall hive was BEAUTIFUL! I hope they are doing well now, in your care! Could we get a tour/update on your personal hives?
Oh man, I need to do that.
1:26 - 1:27 that the queen and a drone zipping past together
Love the vids. Got bees myself
Best hobby ever!

Thanks for the videos. Subbed from Dawsonville, GA.
Balls of steel. Also, I miss Gulfport!
Good place to live.
oooo i just found out you can eat a honeycomb..now I am drooling to try
Yep, get you some. :)
Started watching this, got to the swarm falling off the branch and had to stop and think a bit........ rewind to the start and no, it was Randy welcoming us all back to the 628 Dirt Rooster channel where hobby beekeeping is a waaaay of life....... thought I was tuned in to Mr Ed's channel with those kind of antics- but then there wasn't the associated squealing like a teenage girl when the bees dropped......... I guess that should have confirmed whos video it was.
ROTFL!
How many times did you get sting during this??.
Get a pair of felco secateurs, they are the best, and will last a lifetime.
just subscribed DR, those wild hives don't always build with the Y up... clean removal!
Thanks for the sub Bill.
Why do I always say holly shit when I watch your videos... That is amazing stuff
LOL Good to see you're posting videos again.
Sure I'll go with you if I can stay in the house and watch! Good place to be and never be far away from bacon and shrimp sammiches or bees maybe. Good job, Randy! A-PLUS! I guess you saw Mr. Ed 5 feet off the ground with no parachute or oxygen mask. Miracles will never cease!
Plus you can pause, take bathroom breaks and never miss a lick.
I did see Mr. Ed in the tree. Reminded me of Zacchaeus in the bible. :)
Short of stature, wasn't how it was worded? Close enough and THANK YOU for hauling me around! I get you gas money eventually!
Think nothing of it. You don't eat much.
I try and be dainty around you and courteous but I can really hide some groceries!
I really love and appreciate the videos I’ve learned a lot just got my bee jacket in and some of my big gear I’m working on getting a few hives I can’t wait to start my own bee yard you’ve been an inspiration keep making the videos🐝
17:53 left side bee is me in life... :/
Dude has no suite savage 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻(bee suite)
I love that you upload videos in 4k, keep up the good work!
Thanks for watching Chris.
Randy, I have a question for you. I an dying to get my own hive(s) and will after learning enough. I have been watching you and JP non stop for about 2 months. At about 10:20 on this video when you put the queen clip up on top of the hive a nurse bee comes around to the front from behind. She starts sticking her rear through the cage in a stinging kind of motion. What is her behavior about??? Thanks! Keep taking care if the "girl's ", I love watching you!! 👍👍
She was face to face with the queen either feeding or communicating.
Thank you so much Randy. I didn't even notice they were face to face, I just saw her rear motions and couldn't figure that out. I appreciate your answer. 😊👍
@@susangranger5382 I thought you had me stumped for a minute. lol
LOL.... My dad always said. if you wanna do a job, make sure you've got the right tools.
You need to drag a Lowes home improvement store around with you for this job.
Lol
Oooo yes and thank you for your videos. Love them all.
Ohh, you have chenged your old 1080p camera to a 4k cam! Nice.:)
Coming up in the world.
Could you explain about the mating flights? I know the queen goes out and gets mated, but what causes the bee frenzy? I've never understood this bit about queens.
Ya... Use what ever shakes the nest most.
I'm a bit late to this video. Never heard a queen sing! 😍 zzz zzz zzz! 🎶
NEW SUB HERE ! Dude U R THE MAN ! I watched the vid of u and the other guy evicting the yellow jackets from the trailer. Love the vids, u got some Brass ones bro !
Thanks for the sub Tim.
he hee don't you hate it when things don't goes as planned? They been there a while. How many good queen cells was in it? thanks for another gr8 video cheers
There ended up being six good cells. Jackpot!
Never know GOOD DEAL ; )
@426 SUPER BEE "don't you hate it when things don't goes as planned?"
You mean hate life? Because that's basically what life is...
Russ Ian E. Lection-Hacker No i love life and the beautiful world GOD made us to live in ! SO PREFECT.> but it's better. when things work out as plan Like planting a garden> hope it rains to make it grow> When it rains you planned it at the rite time Sure i miss some times
bees are cute
exactly same with my house when i first move in
Just curious...if u don't mind me asking-what do u charge for these jobs?
great video-- that was a small queen-- i hope they accept her and you end up with a strong hive-- been missing my BEE GURU vids- quality over quantity --love and huggs...Glo
I need to just flood the channel with everything I record. LOL
YES!!!!!!!! Game on-lol
Could you put the queen in that other window to help entice them to go over there more?
I really would love to have the balls to do your job
I suppose if you love your job you never have to work a day of your life
keep up the great work
Lmbo,,, that fellow is HAPPY HAPPY HAPPY.... GOD LOVE HIM
Iv heard people talk about queens pipping before. Is that the high pitched kazoo sound i could hear the first time you introduced the queen to the hive?
