Eerie Feeling Condemned House Of Bees

[@FrederickDunn]

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 ;)

[@628DirtRooster]

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.

[@littleninpo]

What a marvellous man you are mr Rooster. That’s is an eerie house, and the fact you could have ran into some dodgy characters. I guess when you eventually leave this life. A billion bees will be waiting to fly you to heaven. What a great soul you are. 🙏

[@Ray96744]

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.

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?"

[@slipshankd1307]

the rigid asbestos won't hurt you unless you are using a circular saw or something like that. There is no dust flying around otherwise.

[@SV_Try_Magic]

I tried the vac once but I prefer to take the combs apart with them on it using a hot knife and then a little bee gone to chase them off onto fresh foundation. I usually save the brood and pollen and then rotate those out once the hive is reestablished.

[@clarencemounce9851]

I believe that was Manville siding when I was growing up in Clarksville Arkansas I lived in a house that was completely covered in Manville siding. My dad said it was made out of asbestos. It used to be a popular way to cover the outside of a house.

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.

There are reasons for all the drugs and alcohol and living on the street. Bad things happen to people that they can’t cope with. Regular life has requirements and requirements feel like pressure to overwhelmed people. Some can’t even think in order to answer a question without getting stressed out. Alcohol and drugs are stress medicine. Stressed people can’t resist them once they try them. Its hard to fix them in a stress saturated world, and it just keep getting worse.

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.

[@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!

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.

[@chrislangstaff]

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.

[@mary-ruthflores4107]

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.

[@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.

[@Starrynightdiner]

A larger than life size man, armed, and with thousands of bees at his command. Anyone sneaking up behind you is in for a world of hurt.

[@niagra898]

Agreed-I would not challenge this hulk of a man..nor his Yoda like command of a bee hoard.

[@coptotermes]

Sick them bees on em’

[@littleninpo]

Brilliant 😂

[@PennelopeWhitmore]

I wonder if you could use bees as a protection of sorts? Like putting them all around your property and if anyone shows up being aggressive wouldn't bees sense that? Is that a weird question? Lol

[@Starrynightdiner]

@@PennelopeWhitmore I imagine if you are a burglar looking for a house to rob, you’d pick the house that is not surrounded by bees over one that is. Nice deterrent. Probably would keep those annoying unwanted sales people from knocking on the door as well.

@628DirtRooster Bees In my area, firefighters have orders to exterminate swarms. When they are called. I already spoke with the fire chief and he told me that he has no specialization in apis bees and they don't even want to.

[@628DirtRooster]

Do you have Africanized bees in your area? That's the only reason I can think of for exterminating a swarm.

[@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.

[@dinamcleod1608]

does the asbestos affect the bees? or the honey? As always your programs are informative and interesting. Thank you for your videos

[@628DirtRooster]

No, they seal up everything around the hive with propolis.

[@davidclauson5256]

Bee safe out there brother!!! That’s a lot to digest at 14. At 16 I had to hold a crazy drug addict at gun point. He wasn’t gonna hit my dad with an axe!! 12 gauge for the win!!! Thanks for all your videos!!!

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.

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 !!!!

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

Thanks for sharing Great content I'm here because of Mr Ed I'm trying to learn how to get free bees and keep them and you and Mr Ed always get natural bees.

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.

[@amywill9185]

I am not laughing at anyone being attacked but when u popped up “Unspeakable Things”I barked out a laugh. Now please be careful dear! You made a good point for sure.

That was great. I'd welcome a second channel, "Storytime with the Rooster".

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? 😀😀

[@dennislintz1]

I have my CWP and always carry, but throwing a hand full of bees would do the trick. They are probably too scared to come near you with all the bees.

[@dantriplett118]

Well said and well done brother. If you ever need someone to watch your back on a job give me a call.

This old asbestos tiles on the siding are perfectly safe as long as they are not friable. It lasts for decades and is safe to remove as long as you don’t use a saw or grinder. Great video, “smoke em till their eyes water”

[@turdferguson5300]

I'm glad to hear your packin, I was thinking you needed someone watching your back. I never leave home without my "little buddy" and I'm not going into bad areas. That doesn't mean bad people won't be at the Walmart, etc... My wife and I aren't getting any younger so I'm sure we look easy but she carries and I do to. We can cover each other, thank God we've never had to. Did ya find the retainer and if so did it taste like Taco Bell ? lol

[@hymnodyhands]

I see we follow some of the same beekeepers, Mr. Ferguson...

[@turdferguson5300]

@@hymnodyhands Just call me Turd. These guys have a personality that draws ya to em. Even though I don't own bees I'm fascinated by em. My neighbor keeps some of his hives on my farm. All I have is cattle so I call it cow poop honey. Sure is good stuff. On that note let me leave ya with this. Liberals are like flies always into the nastiest thing they can find. Conservatives are like honey bees out working hard to make this a better place. When bees see flies swarmin a steamy pile of poop they don't waste time explaining to the flies that honey tastes better than shit. :)

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!
