We very much appreciate the support from all our wonderful subscribers and viewers. We trust that you will appreciate this little piece of the behind the scenes of our creative editing as we do our best to make entertaining, educational and inspiring content for you. As I stated, most of the videos on this channel are shot on the same day all the way through but once in a while I'll use B roll from other days and other places to help bring a story together or to make and otherwise bland story more interesting. In the end we just want to bring you the best possible content.
At the lift job in the beginning of this video we initially thought the hive was in the soffit beside the chimney but it ended up be inside the wall just below the soffit. Access to the hive was incredibly difficult and there was just no good way to video record that job. The two jobs in this video had absolutely nothing in common but I needed video of us welcoming you back to the 628 Dirt Rooster channel where hobby beekeeping is a way of life. I had our intro in that lift job footage that I would otherwise never use so I decided to use it here.
The building we removed the hive from was a class room behind Jacob's Well Baptist Church in Pass Cristian, MS. They turned that building into a thrift store and food pantry I believe. We did find a good amount of capped honey in that hive. We harvested it all and gave it to the church staff. We put the floor back together and sealed everything up so they wouldn't catch another swarm.

Hi Randy, I'm late watching this, but you had me at "angry hive under the toilet" (';')( ';')... ! I'm surprised that little anole didn't scoot away from the smoke :)
Just imagine all those poor bees waiting for the video to drop only to find it's a different hive. All those dreams of being tiny little youtube stars shattered with one confession.
I must say......Pete looks great but I'm not sure I can look at you the same after this. I must go pray about it. Bwahahahahah. Ps....pass me a roll of TP while you are down there.
Forgeeve me ;)
New video??
I stopped planting my garden about three years ago because my cucumber blooms were being properly pollenated because of a lack of honeybees in my area of SW Missouri. After watching your older videos about open feeding, I saw a honeybee on a dried out honeysuckle plant by my shop door. I must have a feral colony somewhere close and after the dry season we have had here, for the last 3 months, I know they don't have the stores to make it thru our winter. I have been feeding them up ever since, they must be close, it doesn't take 5 minutes for them to completely cover the feeders! I'm going to continue with what I'm doing till it gets too cold, we hit record lows for this time of the year two nights in a row a few days ago in the 20's then got right back up into the 80's today. I plan on feeding as long as possible then setting up a swarm trap next spring since they now like my feeding area. Wish me luck!
Bless you, sir.
You can always set up a mason bee nest if you don’t want to keep honey bees.
Great vid! That was a healthy colony of bees. Awesome pics, my fav was the reflection in the mirror
I found that mirror on the beach. Not sure who decided they needed their rear view mirror at the beach but it worked for an interesting shot.
I don't mind the mixing intro with footage, I never noticed. I just enjoy the content. Do what you do, sir.
There's absolutely no need for you to "confess"...
You do ...what you do
I watch your channel for some education, the fun and sometimes the WTH was I thinking, and your amazing cheerful attitude.
You keep doing what works for You
There's a lot of WTH was I thinking in most of them.
😎👍
Beekeeping way of life… I’ve been watching for years and I’m still scared 😂😂😂😂
You'll get past your fear. Just keep at it. haha
Randy, you have excellent videos and I doubt you have a lying bone in your body. Got 6 of your shirts now and just tried your coastal honey. The shirts are really comfortable! Honey was great and tasted different from up here in Delaware.
Yeah man! Tallow doesn't grow that far north. I love our shirts too. I wear them everywhere except church.
@@628DirtRooster ME TOO!
That sandwich is also a way of life haha.
Love the little dirt rooster in training at the end.
Maybe it's take. My kids have no interest. Grand kids might do something with it.
We don't care.....we just love your videos!
Thank y'all
Dude, it's called poetic license. It's your video, you can do what you want with it.
Sometimes Pete sounds like Ernest from all the Ernest movies.
Know what ah mean Vern?
I love honey bees and the pollination they do. I love my vegetables and how the bees are so important. I'm glad you guys save them. The person who used hornet spray otta be kicked in the pants. Sorry man, those aren't egg rolls their taquitos Vietnamese style.
A Mr.628 Dirty Dirty 😂 What if you don’t know if a job is gonna be good or not and you’re not good at Outro’s make that their intro in place of the outro and do a switch a Rooney Houdini style and put it at the beginning of your video 👍
Do a Tarantino?
Where do the bees go when you smoke them?
Off the combs we're smoking.
Do u have any of them killer bees were u live the ones from Africa
We don't have any in our state.
It makes no difference if it’s old or new. Everyone loves watching your videos! Just keep them coming:). Thanks for sharing and letting me tag along :)
Thank you for tagging along
Love all your content, whether it's a day old or 4 years old, keep up the great work. In some of your videos I just thought you had trimmed up your beard, but now it all makes sense. Keep safe my friend. Quail egg rolls, made me laugh.
Had some more quail egg rolls again yesterday.
Im more impressed you keep 4 year old footage that you didnt have a removal for! haha!
He's got videoing skills I don't think he understands, I know I wouldn't. I really liked the video of you and him clearing out the big hornets' nest, I bought a suit capable of handling them just in case!
He has more footage in storage than the library of congress has of the moon landing. There is no telling what he could put together if he had a free moment and a mtn dew.
Yappy said it. I have hard drives that I don’t even know what’s on them. Occasionally I’ll fire them up and stroll down memory lane.
@@628DirtRooster I saw his reply, believe me I would love to see every one of them! Bee activity in my area has been next to non-existent for close to 3 years now. I saw one bee about a week ago and started using your medium sized rock feeder idea. I've been feeding them up on multiple feeders ever since. Must be a feral colony very close with how fast they react to my refilling the feeders. I'm setting out at least two swarm traps this coming spring and getting into bees like I should have back in '99. We've been basically bone dry in my area of SW Missouri since July, the lawn has only been cut twice during that time! I'm going to feed them up as much as they will take till the winter sets in and hope they survive!
It's always great to have your vids on Fridays. When both you and Jeff post the same day It's like getting a shot of B-12. Loved the banter between you and Pete as you pulled that plywood off. Nice photography. Good laughs.
Every Queen Bee wants a throne! Who knew she’d pick a church toilet for her throne! 😂💗
You're right Randy those of us that don't make the videos don't know if they're spliced or not most of the time. All we want is the entertainment anyway, so thanks for entertaining us. You're doing a great job! Always love your photos too. 👍
Probably better that way. If I like a movie I don't usually want to see the behind the scenes.
@@628DirtRooster That's right. As long as it's moving along smoothly and interesting - as yours are - to heck with the fine details.
I second that, I can't get enough of his videos! And I love his photography, it helps give you a feel for the area.
Oh so you been lying to us🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣. Should have known. My mentor didn't tell me bees sting either did he Randy? Ha.
Doing Hurricane Relief work in Fort Myers. I have seen so many hives that were in water meters that drowned out.
This destruction is bad, people out of homes, bees out of homes and possums and raccoons are homeless.( they scurry out of the debris piles we pick up.) This storm was bad.
You can get even with Pete. Get him a rat for Christmas.🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I know y'all have your hands full down there. Did your place get torn up?
That's funny and sad at the same time. I do think some taxidermist should send Randy a rat in a menacing pose though to give to Pete!!🤣
@@628DirtRooster I lost my sheds. My house I got so lucky on, no damage. Irma did her lick. All my bees made it. I am not gonna complain.
Big ole secret…how in the world do you live with the lies sir! 🤣😂🤣😂
How did I know the rat zombie would come up?😎🐍🐀
I really don’t mind what footage is where.
It’s always easy videos to watch and I’m learning about bees at the same time as I’m being entertained. And I do love the artistic footage at the end of each video.
I feel so much better now that I've gotten it off my chest.
I think anyone who loves the channel feels the same way.
Randy, as long as the content is interesting I don't care how you got it done. I still enjoy watching your older videos from many years ago. I would really appreciate it if you gave your raw videos (that you haven't put out yet)to some 16 yr old who wants to make a little money and get some more videos done. I'm not through learning yet Sensei! Thanks for the great ones you have put out so far.
Those bees has the fear of the lord in them. BEE GONE evil spirit!
We performed a bee exorcism.
Hi Guys,the Logger Friend I know said the ground hornets suck right now,😫.
I noticed the other day ,one Day your gray the next your not! Naughty, Naughty Naugh ty !
Chalk Board music 😝, thank goodness for mute .
Yikes Lucky the Snake wasn't in the Skin 😨.
Awesome Photos Randy!
JO JO IN VT 😆💕🍁💨
The yellow jackets are really active down here right now. I got another "bee" call today and it was yellow jackets.
I always love a great story - and you tell them. So long as it's not a documentary, no harm, no foul - the bees are happy and I love it! Your pictures and video at the end are still some of the best I've seen anywhere. No joke: you need to put together a series for a gallery. Hugs from Florida!
Got to keep the bees happy. They'll me me know is they aren't. Maybe we'll make one of those photo magazines some day.
@@628DirtRooster
That is a wonderful idea! What I was thinking of was printing images, framing them and putting them in an art gallery! I like your idea better!! Thank you!
Hey Dirt Rooster and your friend I’m getting over triple bypass heart surgery been right now 3 weeks ago. Hey to Pete to.
Hey Randle I'm very glad you are still with us. I hope your recovery is going well. Pete is dealing with similar. He had some arteries cleaned and a stint put in. I'll tell him you said hi. He doesn't read the comments.
my whole life is a lie now. 😆
I know a good therapist. I go on Wednesday and Friday. haha
We have a Yappy....now we have a Crappy!!!! 🤣
I just cant......
What’s up 💯💪🏾
Yo Sleepy!
I watch your videos cause I like your mannerisms. You are too hard on yourself!
I know this cause I am the same way.
Shhhh, you're giving away trade secrets Randy. LOL!
I'm an open book brother. haha
Nothing wrong with a mash up!
Like a vide casserole
What a crappy location.
It sure ain't a perfume factory.
Y’all ever worry about running into killer bee’s
Never seen any in Mississippi.
@@628DirtRooster Yet!
Ecoli bees and honey yummy 🤤😋 😂
Lol😂
So good!
You and Pete crack me up!
Pete cracks me up.
That confession was hilarious! However, there is no consequence to chronology with your work - it all happened at some point. Thanks for the content!
Haha I had to watch it to refresh my memory on what I confessed to.
Ooooh I like that green hat!
I do too but it wasn't a good seller for some reason.
@@628DirtRooster sucks I went online to buy it and it's not on there
I watch a lot of videos that have lots of content but fail to tell a story. It is hard to stay awake during those. Keep showing interesting videos.
I appreciate that Mr. Gordon.
You it's great that you confessed.
However as long as Pete is with it's usually a great video.
Keep up the great work.
talk about a Honey pot. 😁😂
Yeah, no crap!
Oh no! What would Mr. Ed say about your confession?!!!
Mr. Ed, you better speak up, your being put on the line!
Good stuff my friend. Always an adventure!
Great vid and great Honey ... Thx for the time and effort you put into these vids 👍
My pleasure 😊. I appreciate the support.
you got me...I had a mouthful of water and it took me 5 min to stop laughing and swallow without choking hahaha
Haha Sorry
Sick to my stomach 🤮. Old filthy footage.
Ah that old toilet footage smell
I have a secret to and I'm not telling anyone!
Did I ever tell you I had an uncle Jim Tom?
@@628DirtRooster
Damn it! Well the secrets out!
That’s what being a creator is all about.. Right?
That's pretty much it in a nutshell.
Love those pictures of you and the babies
Love those babies!
Loved it. I always enjoy your photography at the end, so who needs an outrow?
True, his photography is the outrow in my mind!
Finally got the opportunity (and now I'm stupid enough LOL) to attempt my first cut out , 2 hives from same house. Different sides. 6 ft heat sign on top floor,and down 2 1/2 ft on bottom floor. The other side of house I don't know the size of hive. Told they were in wall at least 4 years . This could be an interesting Education for my friend and I. Temps in the 40's. I'm Hoping rain is over by then.
Make a frame with Sched40(cheap) PVC as wide as the liftcage about 7ft high and on both sides . Paper it with Bublewrap foil Insulation , shiny side out . Hang a couple of Batt-op Fans and you are good to go . You can dismantle this easily for multiple uses .
Shhh you should tell your trade secrets!! Lol!!
That's what Yappy said
I watched a bee hive removal last night with 2 men and 1 woman. They were supposed to be Africanized bees, but they were gentle bees. They got soooo much honey! They didn't have a vacuum.
Weather getting warm here, getting the bug . put out swarm traps and built a new bee vac with shorter hose and will run of my 20 v dewalt vac and electric vac so I will see what happens this year. The hive under the house LOOKED like fairly calm bees.
Honeybees just like to use their version of "shock and awe", don't they? More shock than awe when you have worked with them many years. I have worked with wasps, mostly. But they do pollinate my fruit trees rather well.
Hey randy! Great video love the info your channel gives! Great video and god bless!
Very interesting
Thank you
You should have titles this one, “ Jam Up Egg Rolls” 😅
Ha! That title would have probably done better than the one I put.
your editing is great never would have known without your confession
Practicing for Hollywood
Just end the videos with the same bees 3 weeks later in their box, how are they doing?
best video ever bro keep up the work
Thanks Thomas :)
Another absolutely great video sir
Thanks so much Lone Star!
Hell, any UA-camr worthy of his subscriber count will do that exact same thing. Don't worry. The only thing that pisses us off with edits is CLICKBAIT edits. Where the subject and clips do not match the content. Haven't seen you do that, so you have NO worries.
Yeah, I'm not a fan of channels who don't deliver on their titles.
No matter what the mismash, you always toss something in thats breathtakingly sweet. Either decent honey, or the stills of kite gliding and family. Good job, Sir!
You are so nice.
Love your videos no matter when they were originally taken. Keep them coming.
I'm digging out some VHS tapes. ;)
Yappy, you are so funny at times!
And he's not even trying. haha
There is nothing wrong with that. I like them anyway.
He'd be a bit less nervous in that lift if he had a fall arrest harness and lanyard
Please, whatever you do, is fine for me. I love whatever you show❤️💯🙏🏻
You might catch a few with some good trapping strategies.
That's called "Hell Ya" editing. 🤪
Mountain Dew, the best for me Who do not like Coffee 😊❣
Thank you for sharing this video!
You are so welcome!
Is it always raining 🌧 in Louisiana and Mississippi?
I know that you don't like heights.. but a boom to get under the church toilet? And did you dye your hair again? Great to see Pete again 🤘
Men's Grecian formula. ;)
What ever it takes to make a video works for me. 🙂😂🤣😉
Keep em coming and take care 😊
Always!
Was that the proverbial honey pot?
I know you won't see this but if you the chance try Philippines egg rolls
I’m game.
Looks good whichever way you splice it, DirtRooster. See you soon.
Slice and dice for some interesting edits.
@628DirtRoosterBees When are u gonna have a new updated video out Randy
I'll have one out some time this week.
We call those Spring rolls ! 😋 here in the great NW , Portland Oregon... Stay Weird lolol
LOL
You and Pete have too much fun on these cut outs
Now that is quite literally a holy shit
This is suppose to be a bee video and all you see is everything but the removal of the bees. Junk v ideo.
You must be new here.
What you done did? I thought you gained some weight between shots@!@! :)
Couple of Mountain Dews and a pack of Oreos might do it.
You always make the videos interesting and entertaining. Thanks to you and Pete!
It's a labor of love.
I enjoy your video's and wouldn't know the difference,lol
I must be a better editor than I think. 😬
Jaw dropping info with the merging videos!!! I never knew!
I got more secrets than that. LOL
aw - your pictures are so great! let's forget bees and just take pictures!
Don't tempt me. haha
I was so happy to see a new video from you this evening! I just made it thru all the videos you have ever posted this afternoon, then I thought 'Crap' what am I going to do without my daily Dirt Rooster fix! I'll have to comment several times, I know long ones often get ignored by viewers and hosts.
LOL I'm going to have to get busy on some more. I think I'll pull some vintage footage for the next one.
@@628DirtRooster Good, because I'll be jonesin' for my daily Dirt Rooster videos I've been enjoying for the last several weeks! Save me from depression Randy!
I thought you were gonna confess that bees are your biggest fear.
That's for next week
Hay I was watching a video on a channel. Al blades. The man does a free lawn service for people who can't do it themselves or just clean up a place it help make the area look nicer. He records it and puts it on you tube. We'll his last video he was doing a yard and came up against an angery swarm of yellow jackets. For the first time ever he had to give up on helpin this lady. Maybe you guys can do a collaboration. I know it would be a trip. But your the man I thought of that would be willing to do it. Or even if you know someone in the Florida area that would be willing to help him out .
That would definitely be something I would do if I hadn't just gotten back from Oklahoma and am now getting ready for Tennessee. What part of Florida?
Just think it would be a great collaboration...you both care about what you do and try to help people when you can.
:)
Try a 50/50 mix Mtn Dew-Pepsi .
When we were kids we used to mix up everything in the fountain drink machine.
I love your videos. Make them any way you want, there great.
Thank you Susan
