The "Everything Bee Vac" is a very portable battery powered bee vac that works as good as any conventional bee vac we've used. To date I've personally done over ten hive removals with mine and have been very satisfied. It eliminates the need for a generator and extension cords when working vacant or rural properties. We are an affiliate of All My Bees www.allmybees.... where you can order one so when you order send them and email at sales@allmybees.com mentioning that you heard about them on 628dirtrooster's UA-cam channel. You'll receive bonus parts and we will receive a small referral fee.

8:05 That one little bee stuck in the blinds made me laugh, but when you helped her out, it turned into an 'Awww~!' moment. 😂😂
Haha I have a tender moment once in a while.
Son, I watched a video early this morning where Mr. Ed jabbed you pretty good when he caught what I figure was a casting swarm in a Tupperware bowl. I giggled about that most of my day...you're a good boy, you're doing everything right. I've been blessed with beekeeping for over 50 years now and love every day of it...keep up your relationship with Mr. Ed. He's a sharp dude. So are you Son...
I love it when it's "just as I suspected".
Great vid as always. Just want to say that I'm highly allergic to bees and having watched your videos over the years has made me more comfortable around them thanks to your explanations and methods.
Glad to have you in here with us.
2nd this!
I really appreciate you taking the time to explain what and why. That makes your videos more interesting and educational.
Thanks Papa Roy. I figure no one would want to watch if they have no clue what I'm doing.
I would but you know how I am.
You have taught me a whole bunch. I am very thankful to you, Mr. Ed, & JP& Shawee.
Awesome! Thanks Michael
I sure am glad I haven't done any removals from buildings with super modern construction methods. I'll take old time, solid 2 x 10 floor joists with 3/4 plywood any day over those fancy truss floor joists with multiple layers of cross grain floor coverings to hold things together, along with the metal cross members and metal studding. Modern construction is designed for quickness of assembly and strength in the structure, not longevity or easiness of repairs. That was a difficult removal, and most folks have no idea how much time it takes to do such a job due solely to construction methods. Your video may show 5 minutes doing the removal, when in truth, it was probably well over 3 hours of hard work. I would hope that your videos give food for thought to those out there who think a bee removal service would bee an interesting field to enter into. Keep up the good work. God's peace brother.
I know not much BUT I do know it's a LOT more involved that what is shown. Yall do a fine job and the editing takes a lot out of the picture. A real time deal would take a WHILE to watch. Gopher it Mr. Ed and GBWYou, Buddy!
You hit the nail on the head Mr. Ed. This one took right at three and a half hours. One thing you'll be familiar with that wouldn't show even if we live streamed the entire thing is how difficult it is to work over head for hours on end with trash and honey falling in your face. We can't let them know how hard it really is or all the do-it-yourselfers wouldn't provide such good entertainment at the bee meetings when they recount the stories of the ONE they tried.
Lewie we need a camera man if we're going to record the whole thing. What days are you free?
If I can do it from right here, almost ANY time!
If it were't for those pesky hurricanes :-)
"My queen! My queen! The giant suction beast is coming!"
"Silly peasant. Those only exist in children's stor....."
Silliness aside, just wanted to say that I and my children are much less afraid of bees than we used to be. More respect than fear now. So thank you so much for sharing your work.
Crystal Dawn ditto. I feel like I learned how to become a beekeeper now. The other types of bees, however. I’m more afraid of wasps than ever.
So glad you are ba-ack! Missed you. Good video here, sweet of you to put the camera where we could watch but left you working blind! That meant we had great seats for the action and eat popcorn while you manhandled the bees! lol only one sting so not so bad. Great job! Julie
Front row!! Now I have to figure out how to shoot for 3D. Have a great week Julie.
Hay old buddy was that a small pine tree you pulled out of your smoker??Lol.Love the vids!!
Welcome back to the 628 DirtRooster channel, where hobby beekeeping IS A WAY OF LIFE. You forgot your opening line man!
Now This is the way I like it. One from you and Mr. Ed too! That vac sure does the job and you ALWAYS do the job! You could've stuffed Mr. Ed up in the ceiling and he could've done it all right there, no problem IF you ran an oxygen line to him so he wouldn't vapor-lock! A-PLUS, Buddy! Get you a bacon chaser for that praline!
Can't be vapor locking Mr. Ed. I'd cut some air holes for him.
Yes. that was rather rude of me. The Rooster, being his kindly self would of course have some small pieces of plywood so Mr. Ed could walk around up there. Sorry. I forget myself sometimes.
I think I recovered myself on onelove's comment somewhat. I forget how small Mr. Ed is sometimes. I beg your forgiveness, your Roosterness!
After you put box on the ground.... All them girls doing the waggle dance
I'm glad they took to it. No easy way to get bees out of grass.
Thanks for the early AM goodness. Send some honey to NC lol.
I'll have to go steal it back from my bees. :)
Like Mayo Mayo said, just send 2 batches!
I just want to say, I am neither a bee keeper nor a bee hobbiest but I love your videos. I find them informative and extremely entertaining! I fee I could start a bee colony now! Lol seriously, I love your videos, keep up the great content!!
Thanks Brandon. Jump in, you'll love it.
Love watching your videos. From Ontario Canada myself and as you may already know we are a very fruitful province supplying most of Canada and some of the U.S. with Tomatoes, Peaches, and Apples. Very excited to become a bee keeper myself and before I get my license I've learned so much from you. Keep it up and I really enjoyed how your music is relevant to today!
You're going to love beekeeping. Thanks for the great comment.
8:12 was my favorite part 💛
As for the complaint department, I'm going to have to start putting those letters in the heart of an angry swarm.
Keep making your awesome videos, Señor Dirtrooster. 😁
Thanks for watching Ryan.
Mr. Ed should be called "The mouth from the South".
welcome to the 628dirtrooster comment section, where complaining about music is a way of life.
Seems like it.
Welcome to the complaints department. Please write down your concern and place it in the stack. We'll get to it promptly. ;)
............. and we'll sent them all to d.c. and they'll handle them one at a time, just like they do everything else in their prompt, professional manner.
BurtondaGreat
I like the music! Give thr Rooster props for having a good ear.
Best comment ever.
Unsolicited? Loud saws, bad vibrations, and home dismemberment... you got off easy :-) That vac is pretty cool... I need one. These Alabama peeps don’t understand pralines. Granny always made them - good times in Pearl River county...
Since swarm season started here in florida about little over 3 weeks now ive averaged 10 to 15 removals a week thats me and a coworker not including the 2 other trucks in ourfleet that are just as busy going to be a great season. And cant wait for sone great content after doing removals all day keep it up
The comments about music was TIC. Don't take things like this too serious. This is my favorite channel and comments are purely in support.
Yeah, they don't bother me. Everyone has their own opinion and freedom to express it. I still sleep good. :) Thanks Dennis
great video and great change of music! its great to hear different things!
I like to mix it up when I have the time.
Kudos to you for having the knowledge of construction and bees to do these removals, everyone has there niche, cool. HBM
I knew it would come in handy some day. ;)
The end of that hose is like an event horizon for them :)
Black hole. Shoop!
haha
Cool removal! Loved the time lapses
Time lapses are cool to me. I just need to figure out the optimum amount of time to use them. Audience retention drops during long time lapses like these. Thanks for the love man.
A nap is a good thing.
I didn't expect that vac to run that long!
I’ll bet that’s a wild ride up that vacuum hose.
They have their very own amusement park.
Great vid! I do love cutouts! Thanks for sharing!
Thanks El Cheapo. Hope y'all have a great week.
idk how i missed this one> wtg youtube!> now UA-cam gone NUTS want us to buy buy buy > I bet you love those tight spots wow dang cheap particle board> I never buy that cheap crap, fall apart when wet
good afternoon can bee hives be kept on the same land as Cows grazing ...great videos and info please keep up the work
Raggamuffin 4388314531 Yes absolutely! My neighbor as a kid had all his hives in the cow pastures. You just dont want to have them in a place where the cattle will knock them over.
thank you for the reply -- will give it a try
Well I liked the music...mix it up I say. makes me feel better when you get stung. I have a pair of sun glasses that if I wear them they will sting me even if I don't get in the hive. Craziest thing
That's funny that they are choosy about your accessories. LOL I do like to mix up the music. I like hard hitting stuff.
Loved the vid and music. Look forward to your new vids all the time, you have helped me with my fear of bees.
Glad to see you’re back I’ve missed you
You use whatever music you like. Abraham Lincoln said "you can please all the people some of the time ... some of the people all of the time ... but not all of the people all of the time." Or something like that. Make sure you are in the group that is pleased and let everyone else assume their position. The hater's gonna hate. Great video!! Did the bees from the beginning decide to stay put?
I agree Rich. I'm the one who spends days at a time making these videos. I think I'll do what I like.
Those bees did stay. They are doing really well.
The conversation between the bees goes like this... "That big black plastic thing comes up to us and our comrades disappear".
Alien abduction
628 ; In this case where you had a newly caught ' hive ' , and when you came out the next day you found the hive for the most part empty . Then you found most of the bees clustered on the ground , just out side the box , and because you had other things to do , you left the bees to move in on their own , and then later you would look for the queen . Now to my point , if you could set up a video camera pointed on the entrance to the hive you might be able to catch the queen . But what do I know ? Jack
like the music you add to videos!
Thank you. Takes a good while to find good tunes sometimes.
@@628DirtRooster I bet... :)
Randy does it make any difference how fast you run the bee vac in terms of dead bees? Using the homemade shop vac setup I have does make a difference if not enough vacuum is bled off.
In the R/C world they fly models with a system called FPV in which they wear goggles to see where the model is going. You should get a set of those goggles and affix the camera in a location in the cavity on the work . Then you could see the job and have your hands in there as well.
I can see it now. The paramedics show up to scoop up my 380 pound carcass of the floor and I have to embarrassingly explain that because of my "special" goggles I forgot I was on a ladder. I turned around to catch a phone call and down I went.... The funniest part would be the crisp clear audio of me crashing through someones coffee table and knocking the wind out of myself.
I'm liking that bee vac.
Doesn't get much easier.
Are those bees being calm
Or does it look that way
I see a tractor and makeshift tent in the background. Must be some kind of a clandestine bee operation going on there.
That's where we hold our secret bee club meetings. The tractor is to drag away to people that don't survive the initiation.
Nice job, another smooth removal..
I'm getting too out of shape. I used to do two a day like this. Now one gasses me out.
Really like the cut out and swarm vids. At least Jeff has good music for his b-roll clips. Gonna have to go see if he has a new vid just for the music lol.
I'm going to blame Mr. Ed for the music selection. ;)
lol.
Mr. Ed always blames the bees.
Love your videos 😘
Thanks for the views and comments Amy.
How can you tell if your rescued colony is carrying an active Varroa destructor infection?
Do you ever worry about bringing it home to your existing colonies?
I don't worry about it. Varroa are just something we have to deal with occasionally.
I dig your editing skills. You’ve come along way brother! Can you use an attachment with a wider opening on the bee vac? It seems the one you used is very narrow and would take up more time in my opinion.
I've been meaning to modify that one but haven't gotten around to it yet.
Hello Randy, I enjoy your channel, nice website! How would I go about getting that yellow bee vac?
Thanks Dan. I just got my web store set up today so I haven't added everything yet but all the info for the vac can be found in the description under this video: ua-cam.com/video/X66-Yjx3bYY/v-deo.html If you have any questions about it let me know.
Can I get more information on that vacuum bucket?
allmybees.com
Great videos, it’s very interesting work, and your the best. Please explain exactly what is a nuc box
It’s a nucleus colony. Basically half a hive.
Great video as usual brother. Have you ever tried using a mirror on those blind removals? Just a thought. Have a good day man. God bless.
I've used a mechanic's inspection mirror to locate but not to remove them.
I would like to suggest the possibility of your getting an "endoscopic" camera. I know Harbor Frt. Tools sells them. Very useful for many applications.. You could just make a small hole in an area and look to verify the location of the swarm.
I have one. I've used them on videos in the past. They are a nice addition to the tool kit.
dirt rooster how many hives are you running now?
45
How did you find Cecilia Lindh? Nice taste in music and good bee video.
Sometimes I spend hours going through music on Epidemic Sound trying to find what I think might fit a video at some point. I really enjoy trying to fit my style of music in the videos somewhere if I have the time but it does add time to an already very long process. Have a folder on my computer where I download what I like and save it for when I'm editing. When I'm done with an edit I go through my downloaded music and grab what I think fits the mood of the video or what fits my mood at that moment. I just liked the sound of this one. As you may have seen in the comments quite a few people disagreed with my choice but that's how it goes some times. Do you think I should offer them full refunds. Oh wait, they don't pay me to do this stuff. LOL I still like this song though... and that's how I found Cecilia.
What music are you using for September, National Bee Month ???
Cut The Cord
LOL !! 10.4
Love the interesting and educational videos!
Thanks Peter
So I’m kinda new to your channel so I don’t know if you’ve answered this before, but why do you use a flat vacuum attachment rather than a circular one?
I have different attachments and change them to fit the situation. I just wanted the reach of the long skinny attachment for this one.
628DirtRooster that makes a lot of sense! Thanks for answering!
You might think of getting one of those endoscope cameras that plug into your phone, for maybe $25 you can drill a small hole and poke it in and see where the swarm is.
They don't make them for Iphones but I have a Milwaukee Inspection camera.
Started watching ur videos and love it keep up good bee content
Just wondering where your at went on a Bing watched like 30 video today.
Mississippi
Love the vids. Keep them coming. Your music is great. What music do you play in your truck when you have a vac full of bees in there with you?
Old school hip hop. :)
Great catch great work!! Boy that sure is a crisp, quality camera used in their extract in them better than my iPhone 7 camera for sure which cam is this you’re using?
LOL It's an Iphone 7 Plus
What were you doing at the end of the video? Placing queen cells?
Checking queen placement. I put caged mated queens in each of those boxes before I transported them and I just wanted to make sure the ride didn't make them fall.
Is that an old Army MKT (Mobile Kitchen Trailer) you have there??
Sure is. Makes a great hive stand.
What a great idea! I ate a lot of chow from those things. :)
Great video.
Thanks bro
I’ve been wanting to start bee keeping but have been having trouble getting a queen bee
Love the music..dont change who you bee brotha👍👍👍
Thanks so much Frank. I liked the song too.
I'm here for the bees. I can handle the music and if I can't I DO have a mute button!
Lewie you stay away from that mute button. You might miss a nugget of wisdom that I lay on you between the music. HAAA!!
10/4! I wouldn't use it but that was for someone that was being uncouth about what you put on Y O U R chanel. It don't bother me a bit, Pal!
Do you ever get called in to clear out Africanized hives?
I don't know what camera you use but, did you check whether there is an app for it? With my Fuji I can get a live view from the camera on my phone. That might make working in blind spots a little bit easier.
Either way, great job!
This was done with my phone. I stopped using my good cameras for removal videos because of all the dust and honey that gets in them. I can rinse off my Iphone.
628DirtRooster proof that I only grab swarms, didn't think about that.
That said, getting a rainsleeve for the camera could help. When I was still shooting extreme sports I used those to keep out dust in the forest and sand on the beach.
They tend to be pretty cheap and you can use them multiple times.
Might work for these situations as well.
Btw, new vac looks very cool.
Might have to see if I can find one that doesn't kill the audio.
Why dont you send me that vac and let me borrow it for a year or two? Lol... Good looking hive!!
Come on down and get it.
You need a vac attachment that has the narrow rectangular opening along with a 90° bend a few inches from the end...
I'll have to custom make some different ones.
Just curious.... What do you charge for a swarm removal?
Depends on a lot of factors.
There you go again showing off by wearing a blindfold (poor man's burqa) and showing that Mr. Ed how a PRO really works! Lots of good bees saved!
Oh and did I mention that I had one hand tied behind my back?
lol
Somebody is ringing up BONUS POINTS!
Does just putting plywood on top of your hives keep them dry enough?, I’m trying to find ways to keep costs down when buying hives do you have any suggestions?
Plain plywood will curl up. This is Dayton Superior Steel-Ply.
Can you please post the link to the bee vac in the description? I didn't see the link you referred to.
Found that link?
Just added it.
628DirtRooster Got the link. Ty
OMGosh?!?! That was disgusting, did you all see that? Romex staples on lo-vo wires; what's this world coming to? At least they fire caulked.😂
What is your opinion on a flow hive
Neat idea. Not feasible.
I need one of them bee vacs .. being adjustable like that would be great for guano removal on top of insulation.. vacs to strong it sucks up the insulation with it
It probably would be good for that.
How many bees do you accidentally kill on average with that vacuum?
Great video!! Where did you get that bee vac at?
I just added the link in t description.
Is this a Lock Down at Folsom?
Attica
I always enjoy your videos. My Grandson Josh, who you met at your Dad's house, looks up to you and wishes he lived the exciting beekeeping life you do. Music was a good idea to add to your videos.. Rooster how do I let a 12 year old boy watch a video of yours that has "F---k" ringing thru it? Please do not use music that curses. I am sure there are many young kids out there that do not need to hear stuff like that. You are in an elevated position in society because of the many people who watch and learn from your videos. please always take the high road. You are the example that I want my children to see and emulate. Thank you Rooster. With utmost respect Ricky Pack
I'm not hearing that Ricky. I'm going to listen again but I would never have used anything vulgar like that.
Mr. Pack I'm not sure what you're hearing but the song is called "Top Of The World" and she sings "tip of the world" a lot in the song. I'm guessing that's what you're mistaking for profanity. The background vocal repetitively says "cut" but the word you think you are hearing is not in there. I never use vulgar or obscene music or content in my videos. Over 300 videos in I've kept it clean so far. I'm well aware that there are children who watch and I'm not about to intentionally subject any of them to trash on my channel. Thanks for being diligent in looking out for your grandson.
rooster I am truly sorry. Thank you very much for straightening me out and teaching me again something new and maybe it was something old. Next time I will ask before I accuse. You're still number one to me and my grandsons. Again please forgive me for being way behind the times and more vocal when I should be more quiet. Thank you
No offence taken at all. I'd prefer you speak up rather that tune out and go away and I never know why. Thanks for your input. More people need to hold UA-cam creator accountable if they see or hear something that shouldn't be there since there aren't really any good parental controls on this platform and a lot of people don't seem to realize what is inappropriate.
Thank you
I prefer your natural videos with no sound cuts, sped up clips or music added. I watch both yours and mr Ed’s videos and I like your more for the natural feel. Just my thoughts still a good video 👍🏼
can you give an opinion about the two people that the killer bee guy films do you think it safe to just take the honey and leave a swarm like they do on all there videos
I've only ever seen one of his videos and it was way back. Not sure what he typically does.
the last video i seen was uploaded in aug 2018 the customer had a ranch were some ranch hands and horses were attacked one horse died all they did was took all the honey comb and left the bees as they left they said to the customer any more problems let us know after he left bees to swarm
I hope there was more to it. Maybe he just didn't show everything. I hope he didn't leave the bees behind.
every video he leaves them he only goes for the honey for his business i believe killer bee guy is just the camera man for the two dangerous ones that remove the comb
I'm surprised that you were able to remove that colony without being able to see it. Impressive.
I told my wife I would like to teach beekeeping to a blind person. She though I was joking until I explained my methods. All I need now is a willing student.
I can still see too good so I'm out. ..................WHEW!
Ya need to watch my video on how to light a smoker without burning your fingers.
Ya can’t make a girl do anything she doesn’t want to. Ya gotta coax her into her new home. Did she cooperate?
She did cooperate. I came back that night and put them back up on the stand.
Good video in spite of the horrendous music!
Thank you
:)
Are you playing that Jamm
love it
Thanks so much.
7:50 OUCH. Single insulated wires, stapled onto wood. That is a *massive* fire hazard.
Nah, Romex is triple insulated. As long as you don't accidentally cut through the sheathing it's safe.
Wheres that link for the vac?
I just added the link in the description. I was already in bed when the video finished processing so I didn't get to add all the info before it went live.
Hey Randy! Thanks for the video. What kind of battery does the vac use?
It's a lithium battery custom built for the specs of this vac.
Awesome!
I advertise that the battery will last typically 4-6 hours. I had a customer call me last week giddy, he ran it for 9 hours across 2 cutouts and asked what the yellow light means (which is that you're down to the last 20% battery capacity). It's made to run for a long, long time.
That's what I need for my power tools! :-)
One of my philosophies is "If brute force doesn't work, you didn't use enough". If you can't finish a cutout in 4,6 or maybe 9 hours; well, I do sell spare batteries! When I designed this vacuum, I had made (like everyone else) a shop-vac bee vacuum. It worked, but I hated it. I took a piece of paper and drew a line down the middle, one side "Good" I listed all the things I liked about it. On the other side "Broken" I listed all the things I hated about it. I then set out to design a bee vacuum that solved all of those 'hated' problems without breaking anything I like liked. And that's where the name came from, it does "Everything"!
If you had a boy would you be training guard dogs or something?
I have a son. He's been in a few videos. I did raise and train dobermans twenty years ago.
Pinchers are my #1! Pitts are close in too but I am a dobie FREAK!
Oh I think I remember seeing him now that you mention it...
Well, I guess I got you sized-up pretty well then lol 😊
Lewie I used to breed reds. I used to have four giant dobies keeping the possums out of my yard.
I've been around them all my life pretty much. Had a red and a black. SWEET ogs. Flop-eared females. Ran a forklift around Bien Hoa a while and was in and out of where the food was kept. Cyclone fences and the dobies were loose in there at night. Nobody wanted inside as bad as some of those dogs did. I went and played with them. They were raising pups and I loved every second of it. Fakes people out because I always call them right over to me and I'll give them a good rubbing. Can't beat them.
hey do bees hibernate my floor gets frost and my wall in one area more amd mpre in recent years during winter here in Wisconsin is that a sign a hive is in our wall amd floor?
Grant Rissley you'd hear if you had a few infestation if you knocked on the wall you'd hear a very loud buzzing
Rhys Aistrope ok
Bees do hibernate is a sense. Not sure about bees in your walls.
Seatbelt? LOL
But it was hot. haha
In the good car
Is that the wife’s car. Per say
2018 they are doing popcorn again wow
Are you making fun of my headgear ??? :)
Vac link is missing.
Just added it to the description.
