I love the way you "tell it the way it is".
Get together with the other land owners...power in numbers.
❤🙏🏻🇺🇸
It's my damn ranch, my damn bee's, my damn blooms so they better make me some damn honey. Damn right.
gotta laugh at you closing the gate to the bee pen!!
Champion steward of the land. Go Jason
Great video! My experience with killer bees is 6 years ago my wife Donna, outside of Sedona riding a trail. She was third in line when she was attacked by said bees.
The story goes on for ever but she had 800 stings in her face and neck. Very close to death but thankfully survived.
The thing I want to share with you is, the killer variety don’t stop. They’ve been known to follow an intruder for 3 miles.
Your bees let you go and live.
Though Donna lived the poison still killed a portion of her intestines. To this day she has to have IV’s 4 times a month to stay alive.
To say your lucky is an understatement but you had a protective suit and took precautions. Dave from NM
Great move of the "new" bee hive. Hope it produces well.
At least the bee's aren't as bad as the buffalo. Just be glad you didnt get stung by a buffalo
I know nothing about bee keeping, but I loved seeing you go get that hive.
Jason is a great steward of the land and solid professional Rancher.
Love the vids Jason. Keep them coming. God Bless Ya'll.
Good job on the bees! I suggest form a petition to rid the Forrest service from your county and get all the ranchers to sign it. Then file it and send it to your buddy so he knows it is not just you he hears it from, but is actually a problem. Good luck!
Jason, you’re such a good man!
We finally got rain in Portales NM..
Maybe you ranchers have to get together and sue them for damage and repair expenses. Just an idea. As far as I am concerned. Excellent job with the bees. Some experts can put where the sun don't shine. We had the best hives and they killed all of them except one. And it was in the gable of the house. They lived there for 70 years and we had tons of honey. One year it was so full it would run down the side of the wall. Mined you we didn't remove any honey for a couple of years. Have a great week. God Bless and be safe
Autio was fine thanks for sharing
Good job.
I'm never going to complain about paying $40 a quart for good honey again. That is a lot of work!
That's right. And you can do whatever the hell you want... I think you did a good job....
Ok!!! You done good !!!
You are SO AWESOME!! YAY! PAY THEIR OWN WAY!! Pissed off bees are NO FUN AT ALL!! You might want to get an epi pen, in case of another sting!!
You may not be a professional...but it worked and that's what counts!! I love how you are so outspoken about everything....most people just dilly dally around it or don't bring it up at all!! I didn't see your butt so I don't know if the suit made it look big but I'll take your word!! Lmao. I think all of the people that had their land ruined by the Forest dept. should get together and go to the to the higher ups!!
That’s how my allergy started mild at first then full blown anaphylaxis after a few stings. I carry an epipen now. Be safe and get one I reckon.
Love it !
should move hives early in the morning or late at night , because a lot of the foragers are out of the hive the second the sun comes up. It is not a huge deal but without the foragers the colony takes a little set back
I feel your pain.
Not the bee sting 🐝
250k in new fence has gotta hurt 😢
👍👍
"Dented the sh.. crap out of my pickup" lol
Was that the day we had the tornadoes? We had 4 inch hail hitting out roof and back yard, but surprisingly, not a single dent on the car parked in the driveway. Pretty amazing luck.
Bonnie is a lucky woman ....
I have been there with the First
Thanks for all you do Jason. You dang sure pegged the Forest Service about fighting grass fires.
We are in NM right now blading firebreaks for my nephew on the VV. Prevention on the highway fences. Praying for rain at home out of Tulia. Clouds just split and go around us. Guess we’re not paying the preacher enough. LOL. My husband started running a cat in the mountains around Willcox AZ when he was 14 to fight fires.
OK. 🤣🤣🤣👏👏👏💜💜💜#myranchmysh*t
Serve the Texas Forest Service notice one way or another!! They need to be liable for the unnecessary damages they cause. There was no need for this after the fire is out "fire break"! They owe the injured parties recompense. Hope the county throws them out for good. Take them to Court. Draw a little blood..$$$$.
P.S.
Glad you god some rain!
Please consider an epinephrine pin to have on hand in case of multiple stings.
As far as the Forrest Service hit them in the court of public opinion and Court.
Just so it’s known, those pins have a efficacy of less than 85 degrees. If it were in the truck or back pocket…
County needs to send em a bill for the half mil $$ they had to spend to fix it
Jason, what's the deal with the colt brother? Where is he?🤷🏾♂️
The first thing I have learned from your video today Jason, is that when one wishes to sneak up on a flock bees, leave the chain saw home lol!! That said, the damage to the land caused by an alleged forest service does require attention. There are numerous examples of losers in leadership positions, whether it be an Abbott, a Noem, a DeSantis, and so on. Perhaps the best recourse is for several large landholders down there to come together, including any Trustees or Personal Representative of any estate lands and simply decide a series of steps. A first step is to get on the Commissioners to demand the forest service not enter upon county jurisdiction with any heavy equipment. If that means a university looks bad, so be it! Each involved landowner does have a right to protect their interests in land. Certainly the county need reach out for reimbursement for costs related to the rehabilitation of damaged lands caused by the forest service people. This is an election year after all. Maybe the county judge need issue a court order prohibiting the forestry people from entering upon the lands of landholders seeking to protect their lands from these alleged forestry people. Not an easy battle Jason. Stick together an y'all will prevail! Good smooth bee operation by the way. -Bob...
Yes Jason Bob has said it best I think ..get everyone involved to go together after the dlopy firefighters that don't care cuz it's not there's n they are in it for the money only ...not the pride of doing good land -neighbor management...those Character's don't care &probably don't know that it all is one combined unit so to speak ..
From smallest bug to biggest animal ...dirt to tree it all works together n if you don't take care for Mother Nature rite others won't be a healthy world ...At 80 yrs. Old I can see this coming if lazy people get their way !!! Yes fight them n check out other STATES...cuz this is all over I'm sure &if you all get together as one the states must start doing the RIGHT THING FOR THEIR RESIDENTS N ELECTION YEAR IS BEST TIME TO DO IT .
.PLUS YOU HAVE THE VLOG N THE CENSERING AS BACK UP
The affected ranchers should go to the County Judge and Commissioners court and get them to resolve this with the Forest Service.....also if the Commissioners haven't seen the damage done to the ranches, they need to see it and be sure they understand that damage was done after the fire was out and was totally unnecessary. I wouldn't want the fools on my property either.
Ain't a damn thing wrong with moving those bees.
They'll just swarm and leave the log/property when the colony gets too big, so give the soon to be homeless ones a new house working for the fam and a new food source that likely isn't as scarce as out where they were. Was your technique professional when you collected them? No, but you know that. You prefaced with that. You're not a pro beeman. Though I was impressed by how much knowledge you DID have about them.
I personally thought you did a MOST excellent job for someone that isn't a bee person. I didn't cringe once watching you as I have other people who just DECIMATE colonies when they try.
You have more starting working knowledge for not beeing (see what I did there? ) a bee guy than most ppl I've ever seen step up to a hive that claims the same.
I would, however, love to have a na zi bee emoji, the mental image made me LOL.
You’re gonna have some yummy honey! Don’t worry about the bee nazis, they can stick it where the sun don’t shine ❤️🐝
Forest service is good at setting fires. Not good fighting fires. So sorry for the losses. You go man. I fought them in AZ for years. That’s why we came to Texas Panhandle. Not much better here at fighting them.
Yea, I got stung by a big old red wasp on my eyelid. I opened my back door and it popped me. On my god that hurt, I put an ice cube on it.My husband thought it was funny, about 20 minutes later it looked like Mike Tyson had punched me. It took 2 days before I could open my eye! He didn’t laugh long! 😤
Can we see the babies. I don't think I've been a video of the babies that were born this year
Too funny Jason 😂😂😂😂 Bee nazis 😂😂😂😂
You poor thing on that little bitty sting!!!!!
I am so proud of you for what you do. You are right! The forest service in Texas is awful firefighters. They tear up lots of country they don’t need to. I’ve taken water and food to fire fighters in the panhandle. We are in New Mexico blading fire breaks right now on the Old VV ranch for my nephew. No fire yet. Just prevention along highway fences. My other half can almost shave a man with a maintainer. Lol. They are no better in Arizona. The forest service tears up more than they are worth. God Bless you for what you do. We really need rain here and around Tulia. Praying for all right now. I’ve met you at Timbercreek. Need to come try to buy a colt from you. Or trade Bucking Bulls for one. Lol
Land owners need to get together and raise some hell!!!
Tax man... LOL
You crack me up…Bee Nazi’s. 🐝.
Hell, you could have taken video and pictures from above to show the full extent of the damage they caused.
Very good video.. the forest service is a joke from coast to coast ..in Idaho they dig up roads there roads then a Forest fire happens after and the fire gets ahead them when there fixing them dug up spots and rebuilding roads buy the time they get that done the fire makes its way to someone else's land and also a small 10-20 acre fire when they spot it from the air planes is now a 500-1000 acre minimum fire do to they have to build a road were they destroyed a perfectly good road just so hunter can't get back in there and hunt and camp..
You tube and Bee nazi go the f away to some rainbow event, leave Mendota dude a lone. He rocks!
😂Thanks!
I can't stand a fence straddler...you just need to come out with it, and say what you think about the Forest Service.
Lol,glad the bees didn’t get you
When are you doing a give away to loyal viewers here for a jar of honey?!
Btw, your registration sticker is expired!
Love the variety of things you show in your vids. Not everyone can have a phd in EVERY DAMM THING they do. Some people just don't get it.
Maybe your representative could ban together with other reps that have ranchers with the same issue with Texas Forest and demand/fund TRAINING to not destroy the land for these drivers. Or perhaps get your county boys paid by Tx Forest to help since it sounds like they know their butts from a hole in the ground. What the actual hell were they even doing it for after 3 days!?! Sounds pretty damn dumb to me. No wonder you kicked them off.
Let’s get a dozen dozers and a dozen 12 year old operators and turn them loose in downtown Austin Should me some good video
Bee Nazi's! You make me laugh! Is there anything you can't do, Jason?
been Nazis.. now that's funny SHITT right there! O.K.!!
Can't there be bee KARENS instead of your word? Please.
