You'll have to forgive the skipping around on some of these videos. I have a lot of decent footage that I have to either use creatively or delete. That's why the back and forth time travel in some of these. I figure you'd rather see some of this than for it to never be shown. Some of these videos may have stories that don't necessarily go together but I try to edit them in a way that is true to what is happening even if there are multiple events spread months apart in the same video. There is also some educational component to most of them. Most of the ones I use like this were shot incomplete so they may not make much sense unless I get creative.
The desk you see in this video was burned on November 12th 2019. The dates for everything else were given in the video.
It's pretty common for me to get stung several times on a bee hive removal but it doesn't always yield and upgrade like the full lips I get once in a while. Since this was on Valentines day I had to let my wife try them out. Of course it really doesn't matter to me what day it is. We've been married for 28 years now and... well, I keep it fresh.

This woman is so sweet .I bet those toys where her husbands favorites. My grandmother just lost her husband a little over a year ago. Behind that smile are tear filled nights. Being there with her is one of the biggest things. It's hard to understand how lonely you can get when your life long best friend says goodbye. Thanks for making her day dude.

[@curiousone2940]

One reason I enjoy your videos is that you are so kind, but not condescending to your older customers. Always makes me smile😇

[@vmcougarintn5035]

She was a nice lady, thank you for treating her so respectfully. It matters, Randy. Nice colony, but I'm glad it wasn't in my wall! Thanks for sharing. Stay safe.

[@628DirtRooster]

She was sweet

[@julieenslow5915]

This was a sweet one - no pun intended. Love the lady of the house - love the bees, the queen who showed up at just the right time, the toys at the end, and the way your sweet bride kissed the sting on your lip to take the pain away. I am still grinning! Great video Rooster!

[@branmcg9844]

i'M A GUY AND I WAS TOO

[@eliirvin5576]

You, sir, are a sweetheart. Your sweet, patient interaction with the resident warms my heart.

[@leannkennedy6568]

From your lip, to your wife, to the owner of the house... such a warm and enjoyable video.

[@kevinbyrne4538]

Liked the closing clip of the figures of Abbot and Costello. Neatly done job -- not too much demolition to repair, not too much mess, caught the queen.

[@628DirtRooster]

Soooo glad I found the queen.

[@curiousone2940]

I play your videos on my cell phone. When you film in quiet areas where birds are singing and bees are buzzing, the screen indicates "music". Well, thats what I call music too😉 Thanks for showing us such interesting content!

[@dennys9506]

A man with a nice full lip on Valentine’s Day is what every girl dreams of! 💗 Nice of Miss Bee 🐝 to be thinking of you. 😉 I hope the home owner has someone to replace that outdoor trim so she doesn’t have the same issue again.

[@628DirtRooster]

Oh yes!

[@samanthasimental3788]

You are so gentle with the lady. It is so nice to see good maners and respect.

[@LOCKBEARD]

Rooster I would grant that desk parole. Put some bricks under it to save it from rot. It would probably catch many swarms, give you a work surface in the bee yard & you could probably just sit the hive on top and the bees would march on in. Maybe always keep a swarm trap or two sitting on it. Hope you saved it. It seems to want to live, proving its value like that.

[@cherylcarnes4207]

Very nice. Great rescue Randy.

[@JeromeBeeFarm]

Your desk vs OkieRob's rake - there' s a competition. lol blackened fish and gumbo. mmmmmmmmmmm Pre coronavirus quarantine no doubt. My goodness gracious. lol Very cool ending. Those picker guys would love that place probably. Thanks for the video.

I’m a commercial electrician, and about 3 yrs ago I acquired a cordless oscillating saw. You really should consider investing in one, they’ll save u a ton of time. The tool allows you to set a depth, so when ur cutting drywall you don’t have to worry about cutting into any electrical or plumbing. I’m not trying to tell u how to do ur job, just trying to share my experience, and help. Love the channel, keep up the great work! 🙏🏻🇺🇸🙏🏻

[@MyOLD36chevy]

It's nice to see someone who suggest a better way to do a job instead of telling you how to do the job. Thanks

Wow you could hear them inside the wall pretty well. Nice job

Hello DirtRooster and Mrs. DirtRooster. Good to see you both. I enjoyed the video. Thank you for uploading and see you soon.

[@jilla8503]

I love watching your videos. They're so soothing for me to watch except when u get stung a lot😬 I never miss an upload. I'm always gentle w bees n I've never been stung (I'm 42 knock on wood🌲) Keep up the awesome content n stay safe n healthy🐝🤗😷✌🏼️

[@628DirtRooster]

I hope your luck hold out. I’ll keep taking all the stings in your stead.

Lovin it Rooster. I like the different times and footage mix. Don't want any footage gone to waste.

[@garygibson2805]

Good job sir you tried to get away with one sting on lip but mrs. Rooster wasn’t having it. That made me laugh.

[@christiroseify]

So relaxing to watch your videos. What just caught my eye for the first time?? Are you naturally ambidextrous or have you just learned to use both hands through bee keeping??

[@628DirtRooster]

I’m a little bit of a mix. I can draw with either hand. I’m right handed but kick with my left foot. I was into boxing in my twenties and was comfortable fighting right or left. Not sure if it was learned or if I was left handed and was taught to be right handed when I was learning to write. My son is left handed and kicks with his right foot.

[@nomerc3608]

How are your parents doing?! Love the channel and the videos! Why don’t you make a 2x8 cut to fit a standard wall cavity and use the Kreg pocket holes or toe nail a few screws in the ends to secure it. Cut one side with a 45 degree angle and leave the other side with a 90? You could wrap the board with plastic and put it in place on the cavities... You had better go a head and make several of them because you know as soon as you get to a job that is over one hour each way you will remember that you forgot to get one of them! You need a bed toolbox to keep your removal tools in! Set it up so you can back under the truck under the box and lower the toolbox onto the truck bed... or roll it on a dolly or a few round bars like grade stakes into the bed.

A little free plumpin cosmetic action with those bees huh?
