Custom Long Hive - Dad's Reaction - Long Langstroth

[@tyrejoseph1]

That's a dream come true. I bet you nothing makes your dad happier than getting to enjoy a hobby with his son. He is so proud of you. Thank you to the both of you for helping us beekeepers.

[@livefree810]

Dad doesn't wear any protective wear, he just deals with them with love, wow amazing,

[@horizontalbees]

There is nothing more important in life than our family!! Randy you and Thomas have a great dad!!! Thanks for making us cry 😢!!

[@beesandtractors]

Rickey...you and your family are such a blessing to so many people and in so many ways!!

Just an AWESOME gift! Thank y'all

[@robertwalendziak3216]

God bless your Dad, I could tell he truly appreciated the gift. Beekeepers protect the important cog of our food supply chain, bless you all.

What great father son relationship. He is so cute. Emotional for both of you.

A precious reaction from your dad. What an uplifting video.

Thanks Pamela

Not a dry eye in the house on this one...my son just came home just a few hours ago from being gone for many years overseas...the video came at an appropriate time...

Many thanks brother!

Thinking of your father and wishing him better health. I lost my father 13 years ago, cherish him while you have him.

[@doak4886]

I’m getting old myself now and my folks have been gone quite a while. To those who are/were fortunate enough to have loving parents, know that you won life’s lottery. No one will love you like them and they sacrificed greatly for you no doubt. Never take that for granted.

[@darciejones7271]

For me, that was my Grandpa Paul. Biggest blessing I ever have had.

[@jwredgirl73]

Isn’t that the truth, my Mom has been gone 2.5 years and my Dad has been gone 13 years and it doesn’t get any easier.

[@swvastories3498]

My mom just passed last year and my dad has been gone since 1988. Everyday I wish I could talk to them one more time.

[@hubertwebb9869]

I have never seen a beehive made so beautiful before.

[@TechGorilla1987]

I'm not sure what is more amazing - The bee box, your father or the fact that DirtRooster had the wherewithal to clean out the back of his truck to haul such a nice gift.

[@philaandrew100]

The graceful reaction of a true Southern Gentleman.

Your father's reaction is absolutely precious. He is so touched by the generosity of others. Brings the word humble to a whole new definition.

[@spudgn]

Gotta love dad. Thanks Randy. Give your pop our best. Many of us love you guys and your family and friends.

I am planning on buying a hive I'll save just a bit longer just to buy from them thank you for BEEing so KIND! 🐝💛

[@kdxbx]

You knew what you were doing.... Went and made pop cry. How dare you be so nice and caring LOL. Thanks for sharing brother

[@reneebrown2968]

Your dad will really enjoy not having to lift heavy supers. Beautiful bee hive

[@chriscollins2902]

I want to give your dad a hug.

[@LovinLife-pv7op]

"Do you have a knife.....yeah, I got my pants on." I have a vivid memory from 25 years ago when I went on a business trip from Indiana to Dallas, Texas. A group of us girls were at a business, I needed a knife, I asked about 12-15 men if they had a pocket knife. Amazingly enough, none of them did. I really thought something was wrong with those boys. I went back to Indiana.

[@shevlin2650]

Randy, God Bless your Dad. Looking forward to seeing you in TN in January. Craig Fr. VA SML Bees

A beautiful father son video. It's obvious how much joy beekeeping gives your dad, and it's obvious how much you love each other too. Thanks so much for sharing this intimate inside view of your relationship with your dad. Pretty special. I sure wish I still had mine, but I enjoyed him every day while he was here with us.

You were both touched!! Dont lie....@1:50 you turned your head away. No worries Im crying for the both of yall. What a true blessing.

[@Ray96744]

Your dad is beyond awesome

[@JTLaser1]

“Why people do that…” Because as much as it’s possible to love someone you’ve never met, that’s how I feel about you all. I won’t try to speak for anyone else, but that’s the only word I could come up with that fit. I mean look at the number of hours I’ve spent with you! I will say that I person ain’t gonna put that much work into a gift just because they “kinda, sorta, maybe,” think you’re a good guy. Just my take.

[@MarkRenkert]

Best moment-in-life capture video yet…..nice family shot with wonderful friends…..Rick ‘s craftsmanship impressive….glad to see your father smiling….you and your brother are good sons……🤓

[@midgamarine]

VERY touching. Ironically your post was perfect timing. I'm getting ready to go fry my mother some fish and take a few groceries. I saw the notification and stopped to watch. Man, there's NOTHING like the blessings of having our parents in our lives in their later years. All smiles and many blessings. May GOD continue to bless you all.

Oh dear. I am so going to cry on this one. There is nothing more beautiful than to see a strong man overcome by emotion. Reminds us that strong as they are - they are still human. But it is rare that they ever allow anyone to see that side. So if you do, you should know you are privileged. Beautiful hive Rooster. I know your father loves it!

[@628DirtRooster]

I didn't expect him to cry but when I sat down to edit the video and looked at a little of the footage I knew it was going to be a tear jerker.

I really like your Dads reaction to the new hive, you would think you had given him a new shiny toy to play with. Your Dad is such a character too, I like your video's in the past you have done with him. He tends to make your videos more upbeat, its great to see the love and respect you both have for each other. Your Dad is a treasure, I lost mine a couple of years ago, miss him every day.

[@dawnb1561]

Loved your dad’s reaction to the new hive Randy. They did an amazing job on design and artistic work. Beautiful box. That was a very thoughtful gift for your dad Randy. So many don’t realize what it means to do something special for our parents when they worked hard for us and did the best they could in earlier years. Thank you! Oh! Those little bitty ants down south where I’m from are called piss ants. The fire ants best way to get rid of them is find their mound and pour I think it’s seven dust down the hole and all around the diameter of the mound. Been a long time don’t live there anymore. But I’ll never forget those bites, the swelling, itching, burning and puss. Take care! I’ll be praying for your dad and your family! ❤️🙏🙏❤️
