For those who like our collaborations with other KZbinrs, here is another one with our good friend Yappy Beeman. We have so much fun when any of us guys get together to do a video and I wish I could share the whole experience with you, but the videos would be so long you'd think you were watching Gone With The Wind or something. As it is, I cut this video down from two hours of footage. I really like exploring when I'm off on these road trips and I often find interesting subject matter for both photography and videography. It's sometimes difficult to know how to showcase it in an interesting way or to give you the real feel of a place but I do my best. I hope the photos added a little flavor of Butler and the surrounding area to the video.
This master bath bee hive removal was done in April in the little town of Butler, AL. This was pretty close to a halfway point between Yappy and me which made it a no brainer for us to meet up on it. I couldn't find anyone closer to these folks for this job. I won't recap here but toward the end of the video I give my opinion on this situation.
The reality show mentioned in this video is the second one I've been involved with trying to produce and I think the third for Yappy. On that particular attic job three other "cut out" guys had been there over the previous couple of years none of them had been unable to locate the hive. One guy had even cut a giant hole in the bedroom wall beneath where we were working only to find insulation. This was in a huge mansion. It took Yappy and me about twenty minutes to locate the hive and figure out how to get to the bees. They had built inside a dormer on the back roof slope above the master bedroom. The only way in was through the back of the dormer from inside the attic. It was a pretty big hive and fairly defensive. This was TV gold to the producer who we were working with. He was so giddy about this reality show gold and Yappy was just the kind of high energy he was looking for. We did so many retakes though I was ready to be home halfway through the second day. I was worn slap out and I think Yappy was too.
This wasn't our first go around with reality shows. Yappy was involved many years ago with a show starring @JPthebeeman and Shawee. He also recently worked on one about crash up derbies. So far none of them have made it to the big time but my first one made it to the desk of CMT with one other show out of over ninety that were being pitched at that time. When they called to tell me they had decided on the other show they were blow away when I expressed relief. They were so sure about the potential for the success of the show they had already been working on products to merchandise off of it's popularity. Over the six months of that process I had met some of the reality show stars from Swamp People and Duck Dynasty and had discovered how very little anonymity they have as well as how little most of them are paid. I found that unless their show makes several seasons, they don't make the big bucks and even then, the money isn't great unless you reach super stardom somehow. Some cast members aren't even paid for a first season. I didn't want the hassle this might create for my family at that time and therefore was really pretty happy when they declined our show. Here we are a few years later and still, no one knows who we are. Living the dream...
Oh, and Mr. Ed got to do a one-off episode on Animal Planet where they made him look like and absolute angel. That show did actually air.

[@628DirtRooster]

This time we really did find some. Not much, but some. LOL

Randy, Butler, AL was some of my old stomping grounds in the 70s and early 80s. I belonged to a hunting club north of there up Hwy 17 a little ways. I use to eat at the Hotel Cafe in downtown and occasionally the Church’s Chicken if I was in a hurry. It’s not very far to Meridian, MS what we called “The Bright Lights” back then . I hope ya’ll enjoyed y’all’s time in cotton country!

We could bring back privately run businesses if we stopped shopping at franchises/big name box stores. I love to see thriving mom and pop businesses in small towns! Love the ends of your videos Rooster. Capturing the history of America...what's left of it. Growing up every neighborhood had a small variety store where you could dig an ice cold drink from a huge cooler, buy some candies, or pick up a few needed items for dinner and home at the end of the day...and you could walk there and home within a block or so. I miss those days! I miss gravel roads and forests too. Stuck in this ugly, stinky city and too old and poor to do anything about it. Got my citizenship in Heaven to look forward to for the rest of eternity though. Thank you Jesus! Great video!

I followed you many years ago when i was very depressed and you helped me then, and i am unfortunately back there again now, and honestly thank you to you, your friends/colleagues and your customers this was such a great video and i cannot believe how great these are! thank you :)

Wow, that was a messy one. But you two gentlemen did a great job of removing the hive and even finding the queen. Bravo!

[@markpashia7067]

It has to be hard finding a ladder with a weight rating for you. When I was 250 it was hard to find them. And also lawn chairs. Who knew that most lawn chairs are rated at 180 lbs? Kept hunting till I found some but it was a chore. Clothes are hard too. Just crazy the prices as well. Anyway thanks again for another great video Randy. Fun seeing Yappy too. One question is did that poison get to the bees? Is it safe to set them up and eat the honey after they been sprayed with poison? Amazing they could live in that space after all the death in there.

[@branmcg9844]

Another great cutout vid thanks. You have some great sidekicks. I redid my vac set up this winter and no longer lose bees works MUCH better. Love the cutouts with windows. I did one last year that went from black dry and crispy to white as a sheet comb was about 7ft long lucky for me the home owner had lived there for over 50 years and was dead set against spraying, it had been there a long time.

I’m glad the homeowner said to do whatever you had to. Further, I hope he sees this video to actually see what you had to do. This is crazy. Btw, I’ve worked on a ceiling “not thinking of the fan being on”. You can guess the consequences.

[@628DirtRooster]

The owner had to throw his shop vac away after this. He had been sucking up dead bees and leaving them In it. The smell was horrendous.

Rooster do I see you wearing Hoka's??? Best cushion out there!!!!

[@lorisilverstein3010]

In this situation could you savage the bees and start them in a fresh hive? This reminds me of the years I had a bedroom in the finished basement and would occasionally find a paper wasp or honey bee flying around my room. (I eventually figured out that they were finding their way to the fluorescent lights and dropping into my room that way. We never did figure out where they originated from-fast forward to 2022 (45 years later) I inherited the house after my mom passed away and we did a total gut in the basement. I found the paper wasp nest to the right side of one wall and the honey bee hive to the left side of the same wall. They had built their nests between the frame/drywall and the poured concrete basement walls. My husband found a gap in the sill plate and that's how they got in. I contacted a local bee keeper who identified the hive comb as old and possibly a die back. (45 years later all that was left was some dead bees and black comb like you had here. As for the paper wasp nest, that too was old and non active.) Thank god I had pulled all of those old hives out and they were laying on the floor when my environmentalist came through. Since he was there to take care of the asbestos floor tiles I had, they took all that clean out since it was considered contaminated. Two clean ups for the price of one.
