Elderly Couple Needs Our Help Badly

[@YappyBeeman]

GO PETE!!!! Find'n that queen like a pro! Great video guys. Bookmarking this one for record purposes that even Pete can find a needle in a haystack.

[@628DirtRooster]

Pete getting it done!

[@joanneganon7157]

Hey Randy and Pete, Whoo Hoo Pete for the Win🎉. I appreciate men and women who finish the job properly. You always leave your jobs pricteen 👍. Thanks for more cool photography 😍. JO JO IN VT 💞

[@Objective-Observer]

18:22 That is worthy of a photography competition. Crop it down a bit to reduce the noise, and it looks like she's in the stars! I love all your 'B' Roll shots; most of them are just every day life, but I love how you see life. Thanks for bringing us along; you take me places I will never get to see.

[@newatthis50]

That's what I feel and have been unable to put words to I love how you see life!!

[@sandygriffin1898]

Thanks for the pictures! I enjoy seeing the rest of the country.

[@628DirtRooster]

I appreciate that. I like sharing my photography.

[@jenineclonch6359]

Don't know which was better to watch, the cutout or the music and pics! Always enjoy your videos.

[@628DirtRooster]

Thanks for that!

[@Susietacoma]

Likewise. I love the videos including the music and the local scenes, great photography. As such I surf the web to shop for real estate in Mississippi.

[@Phil_86]

That was a big hive and you found the Queen! Great advice for homeowners who have removals done and beekeepers who do removals on sealing the problem areas so the bees don't come back. Enjoyed the video very much and the great pics at the end.

[@628DirtRooster]

Maintenance is key

[@penzame12]

Great video and love your pics at the end.

[@628DirtRooster]

Glad you enjoyed

[@mary-ruthflores4107]

I feel I have to apologize for never taking your getting stung seriously! I got stung by three bees in about the same spot and it HURT! On my forearm and it was dreadful! Now it itches terribly! So you and anyone else who get stung has my complete sympathy!!

[@628DirtRooster]

I'm sorry you got stung Mary. The itching for days is the worst part.

[@628DirtRooster]

Thanks Yappy. :)

[@richardgrumpywelsh2485]

Another great video with your helperdoing most of the work tdhe way it should be. Thanks for showing.

[@628DirtRooster]

I wish I was humble enough to let him take that much credit. LOL

[@MikeBarryBees]

Always love the photos at the end!!! I always go around and let the homeowner know all the vulnerable spots, and like the last one I did, made sure to tell them caulk sealant, not spray foam...Learned that from that DirtRooster....

[@628DirtRooster]

We've just got to get that message to Mr. Ed. haha

[@Susietacoma]

Another fabulous video! Thank you. It ended with gulf shrimp 🍤 which I just happened to eat last night! That’s right, wild Gulf shrimp made its way to my local grocery in Washington State. Delicious.

[@628DirtRooster]

Wow! I'm surprised y'all get any up there because much sells locally.

[@patritchie187]

Love your videos--been watching about a year and a half. Love your work ethic! Good man, good work... if I have a bee issue up here in Virginia, I'd gladly contact you and pay the extra costs just to have an honest man come here to do the work!

[@628DirtRooster]

Thanks so much Pat. I hope you never need me. :)

[@davidhorsley4657]

Hey nice pic of you, Mr Ed, Yappy, and others that only stayed on screen a half-second.

[@628DirtRooster]

JP The Bee Man, Good Time Charlie and Schawee were the other guys

[@birdnest5814]

Good job on sealing and the removal 👍👏😊

[@628DirtRooster]

Thanks Bird

[@Doxymeister]

Hey, great to see Pete--and he found the queen! LOL, good job fellas. Loved the snapshots at the end, nice to see the parts of the country that I'll never be able to see in person. Great photography, the fireworks pics are especially nice.

[@jkell42]

Great video Randy! Love the photos at the end.

[@628DirtRooster]

Thanks Jkell

[@CentralKyBees]

Was totally expecting Pete to bring up "Rats" while pulling that insulation 😂. Great pics at the end!

[@628DirtRooster]

Thankfully no rats on this one.

[@Novitality]

Gorgeous photo slideshow as always ❤️

[@628DirtRooster]

I was enjoying going through old photos for this one.

[@strand4of8]

Great looking hive gentleman. Seal it right and sage the homeowner future problems. Great job!!

[@petermaunsell4575]

Hi, looking and sounding very pro guys, can you tell us what model your thermal camera is? Thanks guys

[@628DirtRooster]

That was a FLIR One on an Iphone

[@donstanley8514]

I use Caladryl clear lotion for bee stings, works great, takes the burn out in a few seconds. What do you recommend.

[@628DirtRooster]

Testosterone ;)

[@fredschuman8495]

Thanks for your video Randy!

[@628DirtRooster]

You bet!

[@tealkerberus748]

Also it looks like there's a business opportunity in placing swarm boxes on people's properties so that when a swarm is looking for a new home, they'll go to the box instead of searching for a way into the house or outbuildings. A nice comfortable swarm box all set up to be enticing would have to be more attractive than chewing through insulation to make a space to live in.

[@RICDirector]

No accounting for taste!

[@kathybrandt6060]

I love watching your videos. I don’t know anything about keeping bees because I’m mildly allergic to them, but you are very informative and keep your clients interested. Do you know you can use bee venom to cure limes? I also loved your photo collage at the end. You live in beautiful part of this country don’t you? You can go out to the dock and catch your own shrimp for dinner yeah that’s pretty cool. I can’t wait for your next video. Kathy

[@628DirtRooster]

I'm thankful to have you along Kathy. It's amazing the conditions that are benefited by the use of bee venom such as arthritis, multiple sclerosis, limes as you mentioned and so on. Shrimping is fun and easy during the season.

[@WrenchHead]

Infrared image of a smoke break 😂 Any reason why the expanding foam is a no-go? Chewable???

[@phillee2814]

Yes, very easily chewed out - foam barely slows them down!

[@628DirtRooster]

I didn't mention it in the video but the gap the bees were entering through had previously been filled with expanding foam.

[@carolsisti7203]

Always love your videos. Thank you.

[@628DirtRooster]

You are so welcome!

[@rodneymiddleton9624]

I'm the same way Randy with the no return policy. Did they leave the surround joist out when the bees were removed prior? I educate them before I leave also. Thanks guys!

[@628DirtRooster]

It did appear that they left out the rim joist section when the carpenter put it back together.

[@rodneymiddleton9624]

@@628DirtRooster I couldn’t help but notice that. Lol!

[@tarheelbeekeeper3971]

Nice job guys. Alices restaurant heard of that place

[@628DirtRooster]

Thia one is in Marks MS. Just saw you on Sawmill Charlie's new video.

[@kevinbyrne4538]

15:37 -- 70 cut outs from mid March until the start of June?!

[@hubertwebb9869]

When you get the hive out do you put anything on the surface where you removed it and put some kind of chemical to keep the bees from returning?

[@628DirtRooster]

No for several reasons. That's another video

[@kevinheard8364]

great job!

[@628DirtRooster]

Thanks Kevin

[@taddrienstra7247]

I am thinking, as much as I dislike the idea, it may be time for a slogan change. Your vast success has propelled you far beyond being a "hobby beekeeper." Love ya man!

[@628DirtRooster]

Professional bee remover but still a hobby beekeeper, I guess...

[@sheilaburger4160]

What did you use to fill those outside cracks and gaps that you said can be painted?

[@RICDirector]

If you go back to the spot in the video where he shows it, you can read the box.

[@gallowaylights]

Was that shrimp at the end?

[@628DirtRooster]

Yes, gulf shrimp. Biloxi, MS

[@timan2039]

“Trucks ain’t meant to be pretty.” as as my Dad told me after a bull rearranged a door on my freshly finished thrasher. 😁

[@628DirtRooster]

I bought a new truck in 2004 and my neighbor was the first one to ding it the day after I bought it. He felt so bad but I just shrugged it off as a Christening.

[@joebeach7759]

So just to clarify, expanding foam doesn't keep them out, you need to use a silicone calk?

[@628DirtRooster]

Doesn’t have to be silicone but they will chew through expanding foam.

[@rickwarner516]

Congratulations on finding that queen young man.😁❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@628DirtRooster]

I was proud of him. :)

[@bingo45373]

That’s why you are still in business you care about the homeowner and the bees

[@cookec]

What soft veil hat is Pete wearing? I love those style veils but I've not seen that one (especially with your logo ;) )

[@628DirtRooster]

It's a mosquito net hat that he ironed one of our patches onto.

[@htownblue11]

Come for the bee removal and shooting the gift, stay for the photos at the end.

[@628DirtRooster]

Trying to give a little extra. :)

I'm sure that Ed fella is always going back to the same places over and over again to catch swarms? Its a darn fix i tell ya 😜Nice extra pictures as usual and you even slipped in a B&W one for me

[@sheilalomprey2960]

what speed of film are you using? My father was a photographer in the Army, he told me to use 1000 when taking action shots. Do you find this to be true?

[@628DirtRooster]

I use Portra 400 for color and Tri-X 400 for black and white but mostly shoot digital. All these are digital shots. I have a roll of Ilford 1600 B&W in a camera now but it's the first roll I've ever used above ASA 800 I think but yes, higher ASA or ISO is required to clearly capture action.

Spent the afternoon helping my son work on his truck. Good quality time to kick off the weekend.

[@RyanSmith6644]

Isn’t it bad to grab a bee like that? I don’t know I’m not a expert but I thought it could hurt them grabbing them by the wings.

[@628DirtRooster]

It doesn't hurt them if you're gentle. I was overheated and had caffeine shakes. I was being super careful because of that.

[@dabeemantexas]

Because they didn't do it correctly!

Thanks for watching

[@tealkerberus748]

Looks like there's careers available in the building industry in your area, if you know any conscientious and hard-working young person who is looking for the sort of career that will enable them to own their own home and support a family. A builder who knows how to build a house in the first place so it doesn't get bees in its cavities, and who knows how to upgrade all these poorly-built older houses so they don't get any more bees in them .. that's got to be a skill set in demand, with the number of these badly-detailed houses you work on.

[@thenodiggardener]

The video that all others thinking of doing removals need to watch. This is how it's done. Great Queen find in there too.

Ok so I like your videos but this splicing of old beginnings to different jobs is getting annoying because you set the viewer up to see one thing then show something completely different. Please stop
