Just a note to say that I’m on red of your subs that loves the longer videos. When they’re only 1 minutes or so, I’m left feeling like “is that all there is?” I understand you’re busy but these 40 minute ones are a real treat! Thank you!

Randy, Thank You for the iron ones you sent me with my order! I went back to this video and watched your pics again and I think you chose the perfect mix of music available on KZbin play to complement your outstanding Pics. You took me back in time with how I used to feel about things! That has to say something about your ability to put something across the way you did along with your photography. I can't be that much of a nut, thanks for sharing with us Man!

[@628DirtRooster]

It's tough to pick music out to go with the mood of a video, especially since I try not to use the same music over and over. Sometimes I spend a couple of hours going through music clips to find what I like. Thanks for the comment AND for the order. Hope you enjoy that hat and shirt for many years to come.

[@tommychew6544]

This video made my day! I didn't see anything long about it, I thought it was perfect! Pete was doing a great job getting the camera up there in that tight area while you were cutting it out. There wasn't anything second rate about this 2019 footage, keep going thru the footage for us please. The photography at the end of your videos just really helps give a feel for the area and how beautiful it is down there on the Mississippi gulf coast, I'll have to visit someday.

[@628DirtRooster]

Thanks Tommy and thanks a bunch for the order too. I hope you enjoy that new Dirt Rooster gear.

An interesting spin on two characters just collecting honey bees on a mid November day! One thing about longer form videos Randy is that if time is a concern, well simply watch pause and return. Not rocket science. Beautiful set of stills to close out the video which is a tradition on your channel. As impressive as your camera skills is the care that people put into their fine rides! Nothing to hide from at all with this video! -Bob...

Like some of the folks who have already commented, I didn't think it was long at all, I rather prefer the more candid, less edit videos since it gives a better feel for the work going on, and it just makes it more personal and relatable. Also, you definitely have a great eye for composition in your photography. I think I enjoy the still pictures about as much as the video. Perhaps you can break out on another channel just to highlight your photography. I look forward to the next installment when it pops up!

Randy, you take some nice photos for replicating into watercolor paintings. It's inspiring me and I need that. I'm in a slump right now. Even the black and white ones can be real purty done in two or three colors as tone watercolor. I do like the old pick-up trucks and the people walking along the 'boardwalk' with their dog. I subbed in the last vid or so simply b/c you mentioned that while you were looking for that swarm that flew away in the middle of the vacc process a lady came out with her little girl and asked if those were Italian bees. You gave her a card and told your viewers that maybe you had two more subs. Besides that, I just thought, 'Wow, that's just hard work!'. My husband and I aren't oblivious to how hard it is but how wonderful to take care of bees. Thanks especially, for this longer video with more coverage. I like this kind.

Randy, you live near Eden! And that beautiful sunset was worth watchingt... I suffer a lot of pain in my daily life and watching videos about things I know little to nothing about along with my medication... I can forget about how miserable I feel and jump into the deep end. But sometimes I can't watch the whole of your 'B Roll' stuff - it is great stuff and you have an unbelievably artistic eye for framing up what is basically junk and making it into art! But you have to jump around to capture them and my attention span sinks to that of a... what did you call it? a hive beetle? A grasshopper? ... ah, Goldfish! ..., no... I'm worse than that! Knowing what was forthcoming, and not wishing to be on some level with a goldfish, I stayed with it and found.... I do have the attention span of a goldfish. I had to keep backing it up as I missed bits when my dog's antics with her new chew toy, or a ... Surgery for hip replacements should alleviate a great deal of my discomfort, 😊but, right now, I AM choosing to help my 97y.o. (nearly 98!) Father remain in his own home until a suitable space becomes available in a nursing home rather than putting myself on MY surgeon's wait list, who is some 500 miles away... So I am managing... with bee videos from you (with Pete along to do all the work) and Mr Ed, (love the banter) and others, too many to list..., while Dad naps, and PBR bucking bulls when he isn't ... We have pretty good health care here in Canada and I am fortunate in that once I return home, I won't be too long a wait. And thanks for convincing me that (with a vale), I could manage 3 or so hives.... some time in the future...
