Honey Extraction Made Easy

[@emmymadeextras]

That de-capping machine is so hot.

[@628DirtRooster]

That thing sure takes a lot of the work out of it.

[@keeleehudson]

Ha! I'm here b/c of emmymade! Love this channel! Ty💚

[@user-MRG1130]

It’s not possible to watch a video with Mr. Ed in it, and not have a smile on your face, he’s always laughing. If everyone felt just a 1/4 of Mr. Ed’s happiness, the world would be a better place.

[@628DirtRooster]

You can hear him smiling over the phone.

[@ChaoticLaughterInc]

Sorry about your loss, but it is nice to see that you're still working so hard, and that you've expanded into actually selling your products. I imagine granny passed being proud of her children, and grandchildren. :)

[@bfd1565]

My heartfelt condolences to you and your family. God bless

[@628DirtRooster]

Thanks Joe

[@mkaysartfuljourney1239]

Sorry for your loss. She will always be in your hearts. Y'all are in my positive thoughts and prayers

[@jennifermcginnis8862]

You and Mr ed together remind me of my son and his best friend. No matter what they are doing they have a great time doing it. Always fun to watch.

[@628DirtRooster]

It's never a dull moment.

[@michaelrichardson7799]

Dirtroaster you are a blessed man with a loving family a good wife and a job you enjoy. You remind me of my oldest son in a lot of ways. Michael has a loving daughter, good friends, loving family, a good job, and has started removing bees from buildings just like you do. Stay humble, loving, friendly, mentoring, and enjoy bees and videoing. If you ever get to Hemingway Sc or close shout out you have friends here too.

[@DeadInside200]

Ain't nothing more beautiful than homegrown businesses getting more high tech to help with the processing but also how much sweat is still being poured into the passion. Makes me want to find someone locally to be my honey dealer. Every now and again I see you taking a bite out of fresh comb and I so want to try that.

[@628DirtRooster]

The entrepreneurial spirit is alive and well with us. :) Get you some comb.

[@loislangley2975]

It's so nice to see you two acting like a couple of kids. Good video. Thankyou. Amazing machinery.

[@lonnaadkins8282]

It is so hard to lose a family member. But I know you’ll be comforted by the one who comforts. Again just a fun, educational video so my many thanks to you and your family in the honey shack, oh and can’t forget Mr. Ed.

[@628DirtRooster]

You've got that right. God does comfort.

[@LostDryerSocks]

I used to have an old friend who kept bees as a hobby until her health and age got the best of her. Fresh honey is delicious. I think I still have a bottle from her somewhere from many years ago. Thanks for the fond memories.

[@628DirtRooster]

Thanks for watching

[@maryjensen5112]

I love you and Mr. Ed, you guys make me giggles and smile thank you.

[@wildman166]

Sorry for your families loss . I enjoy your videos , you rock brother !

[@jamesredmond7360]

Sorry for your loss. Thanks for all the great videos, and being a mentor to so many

[@628DirtRooster]

Thanks for the nice comment James.

[@SquirrelsForAll]

Randy, you have such a wonderful family. I didn't realize your dad and brother had such a substantial operation. WOW! Loved the video, thanks for posting.

[@larrycollar1322]

Sorry to hear of your loss Randy. Always enjoy your videos and especially enjoy them when Mr. Ed shows up. You guys always make me laugh. Thank you!

[@628DirtRooster]

Thanks Larry for the condolences and the views.

[@BlueEyedColonizer]

Good people right there. Had to go back and watch these older ones

[@MrWyald]

You two always have such a great time together. Definitely makes for a funny and relaxing video every time when you need to unwind.

[@hollow795]

I never woulda thought that beekeeping brought so much happiness!! But, then, we ARE talking about honey. AND hobby beekeeping is A WAY OF LIFE!! Thanks for your wonderful videos, buddy.

[@cherylcarnes3046]

You two are a hoot. Great video. Thanks Randy and Jeff.

[@cherylcarnes3046]

P.S. sorry to hear of your Grannies passing Randy. My sympathies.

[@628DirtRooster]

We know how to have a good time. Thanks about Granny.

[@TallPaul1288]

You’re blessed with good friends like Jeff, looked like fun times

[@jhodges405]

Awesome video Mr. Dirt-rooster, it is awesome to see the family working together and you and Mr. Ed having so much fun together. Need to make a video of you two working together saving a hive

[@628DirtRooster]

We'll be doing more next year. I'll probably edit a video of one we did last year some time this fall.

[@BrianAU01]

The harvest vids are always some of my favorites. Looks like the family is having a pretty good yield year. Condolences on your granny...

[@628DirtRooster]

Thanks Brian. It has been a good year.

[@christinemcdonald8705]

Wonderful to see you lift that bucket properly, with your knees not your back. It seemed that I wasn’t so careful and I put myself in a wheelchair. but my physical therapist uses me as a example as to what not to do when lifting. Hey if I can help prevent people going through what happened to me I’m going to. 7 months in the hospital is no fun. If it wasn’t for you randy and Jeff’s videos I would have went nuts.

[@alteregos8949]

Terribly sorry for your granny passing. Thanks for posting today! Really do enjoy when you and Jeff get together and cut up with each other. Honestly I’ve gotta say that it’s channels like yours that make KZbin a nice place to relax and watch great content and educate at the same time. God Bless you And your Family Mr. DirtRooster :)

[@JeffHorchoff]

It was a real pleasure to have you show up unexpectedly and lend a hand with the bottling. Of course with you, almost every visit is unexpected which makes me a bit paranoid, it's like you know where I am all the time. Since I destroyed the Life Alert you gave me, the one that you had Okie Rob place a tracking device in, I'm convinced you had him build you another tracker, I just have not found it yet. If the two of you would spend a bit more time with your bees instead of worrying about what Mr. Ed is doing, maybe you guys would be harvesting and bottling some of your own honey. Still, thanks for the help, and I hope to repay you when you bottle yours. God's peace brother.

[@628DirtRooster]

We have to follow Mr. Ed around to figure out how to make all that honey. We're not being creepy or anything.

[@bexp748]

Love looking back at these vids. You and Mr Ed are an awesome pair, I could listen and watch you both all day 🖒

[@MichelleFitchgoomba98]

I am so sorry for the loss of your granny. Grandmothers are very special people. I thought for sure you would have been selling your honey by now. I am a new subscriber so that tells you how much I have yet to find out about your channel. You're a great youtuber for sure whether you sell your honey or not. I will keep binge watching your videos to find out more about you. You are definitely super smart when it comes to what you do for a living! Much love and prayers for your granny!

[@willmegehee]

Sorry for your loss... never easy... thanks for still sharing.

[@willmegehee]

Getting 4.5 pounds per medium frame from today’s haul... I need better extractors... those things are way faster than my two frame manual crank...

[@hartsfire5706]

looks like you hade a blast making this video. it was a sticky fun time.

[@628DirtRooster]

Had to clean my camera when I was done.

[@BeautyDaughtMom]

Never, in my 49 years, have I ever had “fresh” honey. And boy, would I absolutely love to have the experience! My kids are honey lovers, but I don’t purchase it as often as they would like because it’s so darn expensive around here! As if regular honey isn’t expensive enough, I can only imagine how much fresh, beautiful honey like this would cost! Still, I wish I had the opportunity to enjoy it...for my kids to have the experience of trying honey fresh from the hive...oooh Lord, do I ever! Thank you for showing this; it was amazing being able to see the process from bees to jars! I think it’s really important to know where your food comes from. And my mouth is watering. Literally. I’m drooling worse than my dog does when he sees me walk in the door from the meat market with a big bone for him! That’s what honey is to me - a dog with a bone - I CHERISH IT! But dang I wish I could try fresh from the hive honey!! My condolences on your recent loss. May God welcome, love & cherish her until you’re together once again. Much love & God Bless, Shelbie =) 💚🎃👻💜 #subscribed 💋

[@laatdovahkiin7405]

I am sure there are local apiaries in your area, it is actually not that expensive to get pure raw honey, especially if you have your own bees lol

[@fionmor4893]

I like the way everyone works together.... great'

[@marty01957]

Sorry to hear about your Gram. :( Good to see you and Mr Ed together.

[@628DirtRooster]

Thank you

[@kevimc]

My grandmother was one of the most important persons in my life; I enjoyed spending time with her; she lived to be almost ninety and a real genuine kind soul; God Bless your brother's operation is awesome;most beekeepers would love that setup- two spinners; auto uncapper; the Abby takes it to a whole another level that really is not practical but obviously works for them; the cost would be counterproductive thanks for another great video; you should get shirts like you are wearing in the video's with your logo; that would be cool

[@628DirtRooster]

We are working on getting hats and shirts done. 628dirtrooster.com is functional and will have a store soon.

[@samanthasimental3788]

I'm so sorry about your granny. My heart and prayers go out to you and your family.

They are the salt of the earth, and honey!

[@ZekeLeviJr]

I've just had my bees for about 2 months and I found my second hive in a tree about 100 yards away, but they still need to be relocated. No honey this year for me, hopefully all for the bees. Thanks for the video, I love beautiful machines. Also condolences on the loss of your granny.

[@HarmonyHollowApiary]

Looks like a good time with friends and some good looking extracting and bottling lines.

[@628DirtRooster]

Always a good time. Thanks Rex

[@melissadyche8325]

I’m a new viewer on your channel and I have never seen how this was done and I didn’t realize it was that much work and fun into processing the honey I must say I’m impressed

[@julieenslow5915]

Rooster, I am sorry to hear about your Granny's passing. With the character (and characters) in your family, I think it a fair guess that she was an interesting woman. I am sorry for your loss. May she Rest in Peace.

[@628DirtRooster]

I wish I could share all the stories family members told this weekend about her. Neat lady. She lived with us for a few months when our kids were babies. My wife was really sick and wheel chair bound and we needed help with the kids while I worked. She was the best granny ever.

[@julieenslow5915]

Good memories, fun times, may they stay at the forefront of your thinking every time you think of your granny. Just know you have many friends thinking and/or praying for you and your family, each in our own way, out of the love we all have for you. God bless you all.

Sure will. Have a great evening man.

[@lewiemcneely9143]

U 2, Pal!

[@AMStationEngineer]

My most sincere condolences for your loss. I'd heard that Mister Ed, and Yappy, are part of a secret research group, who've been developing "little tiny honey sputnik's", which are based on the "milking machine sputniks", used in the dairy industry. This looks like the backroom of a prohibition- era speakeasy, where they used to mix clandestine "potato squeezin's", with STP, for color. Come to think of it, STP looks a lot like honey' hmm? All joking aside, what a great operation; and such a pleasant environment!

[@628DirtRooster]

You might be onto something. I know there are a lot of locked rooms at the Abbey and Yappy won't even have me over to his place. Too many secrets.

[@tvtimemomx2]

You guys are so fun to watch. Thanks for making a blah kinda day less blah :)

[@garybrabant5505]

That was fun. I love the chemistry you and Mr. Ed have. Always a great laugh. This really makes my operation look small.

[@628DirtRooster]

You're growing though I'm sure. :)

[@mkaysartfuljourney1239]

Awe you are blessed. Granny is with Jesus - you have a new guardian Angel.

[@628DirtRooster]

She'd be a good one to have.

[@DANWRIGHTITIS]

Fantastic videos! Im normally a guitar nerd - but you popped up in my RECOMMENDED feed & I have been binge watching all evening. My Grandfather was a bee-keeper in Herefordshire, UK when i was a kid during 70s&80s. You bought back alot of good , fond memories - especially of getting stung between the eyes. I went back to school looking like the Elephant Man. Class =) I´m subscribed - Will buy some honey tomorrow =)

[@lamairepr]

Really enjoy your videos! This is my first year, started with 2 packages and a NUC installed 3rd week of May. I got 23 pounds of one off my packages yesterday, still have to check the other package and the NUC. Very very small scale to you guys. Sorry for your loss.

[@theresamcpherson7352]

Hello Mr. Rooster, I really enjoy your channel. I was reading about a honey from New Zealand called" Manuka" the honey is made from the Tea Tree. The researcher had to send the samples to the UK and to Germany because no one here does testing on what's in the honey sold here in the U.S. Out of the 5 samples sent to each of the labs only 2 were the real deal. At 45$ for a small jar that really surprised me. Do you know why no one here in the U.S. test honey? You and your friends are a treat to watch. I used to think a bee keeper had to be crazy, now, watching you this past year, I realized you just know what you are doing. Thank you for the job you do in saving the honey bee. I am a gardener up here in Alex. Va. that's how I make my living, last year I only saw one honey bee, this year I have seen six, always on the Cleome aka SkunkWeed. Lots and lots of bumblebees though. Thank you for the entertainment. Good luck if you choose to start selling your honey!

[@YerluvinunclePete]

Mr Jeff has such a happy smile!

[@khawk7365]

Like seeing you hang with ed. You guys are funny.

[@trentarbeau8753]

I didn’t have a clue how much work was involved with the Honey business, or at least the equipment that you really need to bottle honey properly. OMG, lol and all I was thinking that the worst part is getting stung. And it might be physically, but having to lift all of the honey manually. That would get old quick. Thanks for sharing your knowledge and videos sir. Really enjoy watching them. Keep up the great work

[@628DirtRooster]

Thank you for the views and comments. We'll keep the videos coming.

[@lifebreadbakeryandminifarm2834]

Awesome vid of the commercial honey harvesting process. I will have to make one this year of the backyard beekeepers process. (Much less tech involved and more time consuming). We decap all our frames with the bearclaw tool the lady was using in your brother's video segment.

[@628DirtRooster]

You can get pretty fast with one of those if you work it enough. It's called a capping scratcher.

[@lifebreadbakeryandminifarm2834]

@@628DirtRooster Yes, trust me. I have become efficient with it over the years. But still it would be so much faster with the tech they have in a commercial honey house. Glad your year is going good so far. I'm getting ready to inspect my hives that made it through winter.

So sorry to hear about your Granny. It's tough to let go of our loved ones, but we will be with them before you know it. Really cool video. It's interesting to see how that decaper works. Amazing how quiet it was. That's a nice setup you have there. Mr. Ed's Stainless Palace is over the top. The giant Smurf Arm. lol I'm jealous though. After I added the honey in my cappings, I wound up with 20 gallons, around 200 lbs I would guess. Take care.
