The first time I got to this location it was late in the evening and I was alone. As I walked around the property there was a very eerie feeling. I really don't know why I was a bit weirded out but I went back to the truck and armed myself with more than just a cell phone. I can't really describe the feeling of the place and probably didn't show it well in the video but it was a strange place to be working alone. I've been around plenty of abandoned properties over the years but this one was somehow different. Maybe something bad happened there. Who knows?
The main message through this video is to watch your back while working at unsafe locations. No pay day or honey bees are worth becoming a victim. I've had my share of these jobs this past couple of years. Two of them have wild stories attached to them that I may share at some point. Always be aware and careful. After you've got the safety aspect handled then go ahead and have fun.
Over all I really enjoyed this job. I was able to take my time, inspect and analyze what I was finding. Since no one was there to distract me I recorded over three hours of this job. That proved to be tough to edit since there was decent footage but it was mostly of the actual cut out. It was tempting to leave three hours of footage in but who's going to sit through that?
I took two samples of bees from this colony for testing purposes and got no mites in either sample. I was using 50% isopropyl rubbing alcohol in the Easy Check mite shaker cup. This is the alcohol I normally use and it works fine. I've been trying out dawn dish soap as well and getting comparable results to the alcohol. If you watched the video long enough you saw that I did uncover one varroa mite inside capped drone brood. Mite load on this colony was incredibly low.

Hi Randy! Thanks for sharing more of the work you do! I'm looking at those composite siding shingles, asbestos is no joke. Ah, you mentioned that potential risk. Good advice watching out so you don't get surprised by a hobo (';')... ( ';')... interesting as always, stay warm ;)

Thanks for stopping in Fred. I was on with the “Stream Team” tonight and got to show off your coffee mug. We talked you up a bit too but it’s a 3 hour video and I can’t remember what time frame. Anyway, everyone loves Frederick Dunn.

Rooster I agree with you about the homeless it’s so sad but for eight years we took in about 100 people and I was zero for 100 to keep them off the street we fed them clean them up give them a nice bed to sleep in it was a Christian ministry outreach but I lived there with my family and we could not keep any of them off the street they all went back

[@628DirtRooster]

No surprise there Ray. I've employed a few over the years. They'll do good for a while but eventually turn back to old ways. I can only pray that later in life they get it right and that maybe something we did or said to them planted a seed that reaps an eternal benefit for them.

[@scottyfox6376]

Binge back watching & I'm glad you're telling how it is with the homeless. I've had well meaning friends who took ppl in & it didn't end well for the kindness they offered. I tell everybody you're not qualified & have no recognised & accredited system to deal with these ppl. I don't have any ill will towards them but I don't give them opportunity either.

Once I lived in a smallish town in Virginia. We had one homeless man. Nice man, never gave anyone any trouble. Slept many times in the town's newspaper recycle bin. When he died in the early 90's it was found he had over a quarter million dollars in the bank.

A beautiful soul indeed :) Islam is an arabic word that means Submission or Surrender to God the One and Only, your Creator, Protector, Provider, who gives you life and all that you have, you are safe and sound by his will and grace, you are His and to Him you return, you have to thank him by submitting to him by your free will or later when it's too late to save your own skin. Islam was the original Religion descended to earth from heaven with Adam and Eve (peace and blessing be upon them) in the beginning of humanity. and was passed to people with the succession of the 124,000 prophets and 315 messengers of God to all nations and civilizations since, passing by Noah, Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Ismaël, Joseph, Moses, Aaron, Joshua, David, Solomon and Jesus (Peace and blessing be upon them) during the history of mankind, the last replaces the previous, until the succession of the last messenger of God fourteen centuries ago, Muhammad (Peace and blessing be upon him) to complete the noble morals of all mankind, to bring humans and jinns out of darkness into light, and to purify people's religion and belief from corruption and polytheism to purity and true monotheism. Many Religions that we know, at their beginning were true and under Islam, initiated by one of the prophets of God, but with the time, their original teachings and scriptures were corrupted with polytheism or lost and replaced with false ones. That's why Islam is the only Religion accepted by God nowadays. Which consists in bearing witness that there is no god besides Allah, and that Muhammad is His servant and messenger. Allah means the only and one God, the God of all prophets, the creator of the universe and mankind, and the Master of the Day of judgement, where our destiny, Hell or Paradise, is decided based on our faith and deeds in this life and above all, Allah's mercy. Allah the Most Merciful said in Surah Ali-Imran : 19 Behold, the only [true] religion in the sight of God is [man's] self-surrender unto Him; and those who were vouchsafed revelation aforetime took, out of mutual jealousy, to divergent views [on this point] only after knowledge [thereof] had come unto them. But as for him who denies the truth of God's messages - behold, God is swift in reckoning! 20 Thus, [O Prophet,] if they argue with thee, say, "I have surrendered my whole being unto God, and [so have] all who follow me!" - and ask those who have been vouchsafed revelation aforetime, as well as all unlettered people, "Have you [too] surrendered yourselves unto Him?" And if they surrender themselves unto Him, they are on the right path; but if they turn away - behold, thy duty is no more than to deliver the message: for God sees all that is in [the hearts of] His creatures. 21 Verily, as for those who deny the truth of God's messages, and slay the prophets against all right, and slay people who enjoin equity - announce unto them a grievous chastisement. 22 It is they whose works shall come to nought both in this world and in the life to come; and they shall have none to succour them.

[@niteshadepromises]

I appreciate your comments on the homeless situation. So many folks are afraid to say how it really is. They make decisions based on the Disney version the media and politicians feed us then wonder why their cities and towns turn into cesspools. Tough love is still love and IMHO that's the only way to deal with the situation

[@viscache1]

One thing about the city and the homeless. It’s an expensive problem so they pretend they can’t see it. But the middle class is their base source of income. If they can penalize you they will. Most of us are trying to do the right thing so they threaten penalties and count on you doing the right thing…it’s just a bit north of evil. But their hearts are deep dark holes.

[@sarashappyhives1828]

@@viscache1 That brings to my mind the phrase, No good deed goes unpunished.

[@tsulehisanvhisystem9352]

You do realize that many who end up homeless aren't homeless by their choice. Usually they've been screwed over in some way and are dealing with the consequences of the choices others have made. For example, my friend never missed paying rent nor did she ever have a late payment in the entire six years she was renting. The owner evicted her, giving her only two weeks to find a new place. She had also just paid 750 dollars in rent and wouldn't get her paycheck again until after the deadline. She is now left living in her car or wherever else she can shelter until she can save up about 4000 dollars for somewhere to live, which will take her a few months. "Tough love" isn't going to help her, it'll just make things worse for her, like the cities deciding to hide the homeless problem by making life harder for the homeless. There are homeless shelters that charge people in need money to stay for the night, which is why people are staying other places.

[@628DirtRooster]

@@tsulehisanvhisystem9352 Those you speak of are few and far between. As someone who manages a large number of rental homes in a state that gives landlords the upper hand when evicting someone I can say with a fair amount of certainty that your friend hasn't given you the whole story. Even in our state it takes a minimum of two and a half to three weeks to evict someone for non payment. No judge is going to allow an eviction without cause and if she had paid her rent and were evicted for other reasons the only reason the judge would allow the landlord to keep that money would be for some type of settlement for damages. Also if she's able to find accommodations for $750 per month she would be able to move in to a new place for less than $2,000 including deposits and turning on utilities.

[@toomanymarys7355]

​@@tsulehisanvhisystem9352 That's not legal and I don't think she told you the truth if it was an eviction. Evictions are acts by thr COURT. A landlord can't just say they're evicting you!

Always exercise all your freedoms at all times! Once upon a time back when I was a kid there was this lovely; yet, sadly dilapidated, home back in the woods. Near by a farmer kept bees, but years before this time that farmer has moved away; however, in this massive attic of that abandoned house was nothing but giant beehive. I was amazed how we did not notice all the bees at first. Then we got up in the attic and finally noticed that the entirety of the roof and walls, and probably inside the ceiling, was nothing but bees and honey, tons of it, just oozing. It was an amazing site, and we after admiring it we left and did not go back. Later on that place was torn down. I hope the bees were okay. Bees are awesome.

Not looking to start a fight, just want to humbly suggest that perhaps if homelessness and associated violence is a large issue and has been for a long time that it is more a structural issue on a societal level. Not helped by America's obsession with individualism and the inability to acknowledge how some enormous past problems could affect the present. Some of these things will never be 'solved' as humans are far from perfect and never will be, but as a collective we can certainly do better if we really care to.

[@marypatten9655]

if bees make their hive in abrstos. does that contaminate the honey they make. sinse abestos is known to cause cancer. gusess what am asking is. will the bees carry the cancer causing element into their honey? or does anyone know? love the bee base ball cap. how can you tell you have the queen? seriously thinking about putting out some bee hives in our field. really love to eat honey. thank you for this video. FYI. they (goveenment) only want to do something where there is a chance to get mony. homeless usually have no money. awww. you wanted to protect your mom. God blessed you that day. kept you safe from yoyrself. Ha never said if you found your retainer. no matter. God bless

[@lorihudson5278]

That's a new one, " A BUM CAMP". Im in Philadelphia. we call abandoned houses "ABANDOS". in our drug infested areas every abandon house is used for the homeless

[@628DirtRooster]

Thankfully it hasn't gotten that bad here but it is very noticeably worse since the start of Covid.

I was working on the coast and I found some riding wood in a house I asked her homeowner about it he told me that wasn't rotten it was weathered I said do you want me to take it out and put in new he said no we live on the coast the termites will eat it by tomorrow.lol

[@4est82]

I love these videos man. You have a gift for story telling, and your demeanor and character is so calming and reassuring. I hope to be a beekeeper some day! If u have any suggestions on how to get started let me know!

14 and invisible, I remember those days....there long gone.....lol

Yep, blessed to have survived those years. I broke my neck at 13 and again at 14 or 15. I was a rough kid.

[@reneebrown2968]

Most people would not sneak up onto someone dealing with bees. Most people are scared of bees.

[@davidcalbreath1977]

I live in roxboro NC can you show me how to make a 5 frame nuc I just got bees so it will be a long time before I can make nucs

[@shammi8133]

Great (bees with an addiction)

[@timbervalleyhomestead]

🤣

[@Beaver867]

Might have heard in wrong context but shouldn’t the owner get off your back about the time you take? From what you speak about happening in the area with the danger etc, they should be more then happy that you even turned up !!!! Good videos !!!!

[@timbervalleyhomestead]

He said Mr. Ed. He is a beekeeping buddy and they dog each other all the time.

[@pirateprincess5271]

I am in South Africa and homeless / squatters are way different here. They invade land and erect more permanent structures, like iron and wood sheds. If they get to stay 24 hours they have legal protection and cant be moved without finding them alternative accommodation. With political encouragement they turn very violent when trying to move them off.

[@skunkapedude7709]

I don’t think I’d use that asbestos covered honey and comb…

[@heehaw8401]

I lost my retainer the same way in my high school cafeteria. Had my whole Home Ec class looking for it! Found it! Love stories and the bee removal.

[@628DirtRooster]

That's hilarious!

[@suziedoozie6478]

Randy on the first day at this site you used something to keep the mosquitoes away. Does it really work? And what is the product and where do I get one? I’m honey to them!

[@628DirtRooster]

Thermacell I does work.

[@suziedoozie6478]

I ordered it! If it works for me it will be a miracle! Thank you Randy for the information.

[@andycalcutt2177]

They work, I use one while hunting or fishing in S.C. basically same weather as y'all. Hot, Humid and plenty of " Skeeters", lol.

[@TennesseeMountainBees]

They definitely work!

[@onespiceybbw]

@@628DirtRooster - I swear by Thermacell.

[@joebeach7759]

Was this near a military base or VA hospital? I could hear "Retreat" being played in the background right before Unspeakable Things flashed on the screen. That usually gets played around 5pm.

[@371508129]

Did you find the retainer?

[@larnold7614]

He did !

[@stgermain1074]

If they were tearing the house down, why did they go to the expense of paying to have the bees removed? I mean, I'm glad the colony was saved, but I don't think I'd've bothered.

[@onespiceybbw]

The bees would have been all over the guys tearing down the house. Not a fun time for anyone.

[@628DirtRooster]

Yep, @Onespiceybbw said it. An equipment operator in an open cab would be easy pickings for a pissed off bee colony.

[@whatcher8151]

AT 26:39, THEM THAR SURE LOOKS LIKE POT PLANTS

[@debbietriplett8218]

Liked hearing your story. You never said if you found your retainer or not. Just wondering.

[@628DirtRooster]

Yep, we got it.

[@markbara9198]

I know asbestos dust is bad but what about the honey that was rubbing on it or may be some dust is on it? I hope you just kept it for the bees

[@628DirtRooster]

I fed it to the bees but everything was sealed with propolis. No asbestos could get in the honey.

[@kenjordan5164]

Randy - you left out the most important part of the story. You have us on the edge of our seats. Did you ever find your retainer? 😀😀

[@matthunt4512]

Great story, I so appreciate your videos and look forward for your next adventure.. God bless you my friend

[@CastleHives]

Definitely have to be aware of your surroundings anymore, and really it could be anywhere. I lost it with that Donut reel you sent. That guy is crazy.

[@taylorboysoutdoors]

Cool cut out and story. Thanks for sharing

[@spokehedz]

The problem with government is you either love it, or you hate it. Neither are right or wrong, pointing out the failures of the entire system is the only thing we can do. The fighting over a single system is what truly stops all forward progress.

[@IslandRyland]

Shows you how this country has its priorities in check. Great removal though

[@timframpton1965]

I've help some younger homeless people that offered to help them with getting their I.Ds work but by the end of the conversation the want to be where they are not all but a good amount I've seen the same man mid 30s for over two years at the same intersection doing the same thing said he was looking for work apparently not for the past two years

[@628DirtRooster]

We’ve got a lot of the same. One guy sits at the door of a store I frequent looking pitiful. People will but him food and drinks and as soon as they leave he throws it in the garbage.

[@timframpton1965]

@@628DirtRooster and there people who could use the help and appreciate it I just subscribed to your channel I thought I was I'll bee watching from now on

[@rightsideupvt]

Does the vacuum kill them or are they flying around inside it all pissed off?

They’re crawling around all pissed off.

[@Tindometari]

That looks like non-friable asbestos cladding, judging from the way it breaks. Closer to asbestos brake pad material than the fibrous kind that makes the dust. Not an inhalation hazard, pretty safe to handle, and still useful and used for some applications. I think the reclamation services you mentioned reprocess and recycle it.

[@joebeach7759]

You'll ingest more asbestos changing your brakes than tearing down that siding.

[@drunkingsailor2359]

Because you have something to lose so they target you.

[@tonyandric4380]

I could feel your stress levels due to your location. I've often said that 2 legs are more problems than 6 legs. Glad it worked out safely.

[@snarky_user]

Mr Ed mostly knows small people like himself, who can only see colonies that are down low. That's how.
