I Cleaned Bees Out of a Hunting Camp Trailer

[@richardnoel3141]

"Braille bees cut out"!! love it!! Grand Kids are so worth it! Great video!

[@628DirtRooster]

Grand kids are the best! I'm wrapped.

[@HornetKingOfficial]

I just dont know how you do cut out after cut out with all that sticky messy honey... 😂😅 Sticky fingers, tools, clothes, floor... Youre a super hero! 😁

[@gazinta]

I've seen months of your videos if I strung them together. Once in awhile I miss a swarm. If I can't figure out where it went within a couple of days, we usually end up sticky to our ears trying to find that queen.

[@628DirtRooster]

I just have that "stick to it" mentality. ;)

[@rodneymiddleton9624]

The cord entrance is the most common place they come in. The more you try not to make a mess the more mess you make with honey!!! Great job!!!!

[@628DirtRooster]

That's the first place anyone needs to seal up on most RVs.

[@jasonerb2577]

I think I speak for everyone when I say...I appreciate the quick camera zoom action on the pelican. I'm sure this was recorded well before the news broke, but I half expected a little tribute to your fellow native Mississippian, Jimmy Buffett...RIP. "Got to stop wishing...got to go fishing"...great video as always. Looks like the kids had fun too. Love to all from Pennsylvania.

[@gitatit4046]

The removal was secondary Randy after that beach time with that beautiful family at the beach. That made memories for a lifetime. Thanks for sharing both with us and God bless you and your family.

[@charlestrotter-xj3zs]

Kind of sounds like brotherly love

[@628DirtRooster]

Thank y'all so much for the kind comments.

[@Doxymeister]

"Every dead body on Mt. Everest was once a highly motivated person...so maybe calm down?" 🤣 You don't say! Love it. Say, Rooster, your photography skills are getting really good, some great images there.

[@628DirtRooster]

Maybe I can go up Everest and get some shots some day. haha

[@newatthis50]

I count myself as one of the luckiest people on earth! We had a cooling tower job south of Theodore one winter and I rented a camper on Dophin island to live in. Every morning and evening going to and coming from work was a fire show in the sky. There was the Dauphin island sea lab down there and one rain out day I went to tour it. Met an octopus there and we played peek-a-boo for a good while. I was the only tourist in there that day so I had a super tour by the man who fed the animals. He said that octopus was newly caught and explained they are really smart but that was the only time he'd seen one play like that. A couple years later a big hurricane came and washed 1/2 the island away. I count you as one of my blessings. Your videos are brilliant. You some how show and explain more of what bees do naturally in the wild. Seems as hobby bee keepers we should pay more attention to what the bees would rather do. I realize that if you have many hives the current style hives are probably most efficient

[@timothypirnat3754]

Randy, that removal looked tough. Glad you had a "hero" to rescue you. lol Beautiful beach. Loved the sound of the waves.

[@628DirtRooster]

Man, I could sit and just listen to waves crash on the shore for hours.

[@kimbeale797]

“Fixin broken dreams is what we do” 🤣🤣🤣

[@628DirtRooster]

We try anyway

[@kimbeale797]

I missed seeing you recently in Tx. I hope you will come back again!

What cuties! Gorgeous pics as usual, love them.

[@628DirtRooster]

Thank you so much!

[@tommywise1702]

Thanks for sharing the family pictures and video, the best part for me. Pulls at the heart strings. Your picture, video, and music selection is always right on the mark.

[@628DirtRooster]

That's my favorite part of putting these videos together.

[@Eric-gi9kg]

Crazy removal Awesome and memorable pictures You've come a long way with your photography... Well Done

[@628DirtRooster]

I'll keep practicing.

[@tommychew6544]

My neck and shoulders started hurting just from you describing the position you were in at the start. It was great to see your brother Tommy come over and help out, I got his Dana Carvey reference right off the bat. Great photos and videography from the trip the next day, thanks for the video.

[@628DirtRooster]

This job was quite literally a pain in the neck. Ole Dana Carvey, you don't see much of him these days.

[@Eric-gi9kg]

That's a GREAT QUOTE towards the end

[@donbearden1953]

Randy, it’s always great to see a new video from you! That would have been a good removal for Mr Ed but his arms may not be long enough to reach where you did. lol It’s always good to see Tommy in your videos. I got to meet Tommy at the 1st Hive Live conference in Lebanon, TN and got to meet your dad the following year in Sevierville at that Hive Life. All of the McCaffreys are good people!

[@petepeterson4540]

your right there he has gator arms can't quite reach it he he lol🐊

[@628DirtRooster]

Mr. Ed could fit through the drawer holes. haha That first Hive Life conference went so well I knew it was going to be big but I sure never thought it would grow as fast as it did.

[@penzame12]

I just love your videos and your family. Absolutely beautiful pictures of a loving family and beach fun. Thanks for sharing.🙂

[@628DirtRooster]

So glad I can share.

[@GEEZBEEZ]

Nasty job in a tight space. Reminded me of having to sit cross legged in a circle in grade school. Hard on the kids that wore “husky” clothes. Really enjoyed the photos at the end. You have a beautiful family and looked like a great time. Thanks for the video and take care.

[@628DirtRooster]

Haha If I sit cross legged more than ten minutes I have to lay down and let my legs wake back up.

[@sandygriffin1898]

My grandkids would fly down to Myrtle where I lived and we would become beach bums. Great times. Thanks for sharing yours.

[@JamesLeesBees]

I am getting quite a few calls now that Michigan's bow season has opened. Unfortunately, most deer camps are 2-4 hours north of me...can only imagine how great those bees could be!

[@628DirtRooster]

It's funny that even before I was a beekeeper, I was the guy in our hunting club that everyone called to clear out the giant wasp nests in all the shooting houses ever season. lol

[@pamelaschniepp6075]

That was not a pretty hive removal, ha. GREAT pics at the end of the video. You are upping your photography game, my friend!!!

[@628DirtRooster]

Practice practice practice. Maybe one day I can make a living with it.

[@pamelaschniepp6075]

Wouldn't that be grand? @@628DirtRooster

[@Swarmstead]

I'd snore so loud the bees would abscond.

[@goodvideos.113]

Bạn chia sẻ góc thực hành rất là hay. 16:33

[@628DirtRooster]

My soring would bother the people in the other RVs.

[@leecarey4375]

I know it was a lot of work, but the honey looked like liquid gold. Beautiful! Love your end shots. You have a wonderful family. You are a lucky man.

[@cekfraun]

Well that sure was a messy one! I'm amazed at all the weird places that bees find to build their hives and honeycomb. And I loved the photos and videos of your trip to Dauphin Island with the grandkids.

[@628DirtRooster]

Dauphin Island is always a fun trip

[@West_Kagle]

@5:00 You need some sort of monitor that the camera can connect to and display on for this situation (a set up that I'm sure would come in handy for plenty of other situations you may run into). Then you can see and reach at the same time. It doesn't have to be a big screen or anything fancy, just enough to give you 'eyes' into those tight spaces.

[@markburke2533]

The beach pictures were wonderful! Love seeing your family fun!

[@joanneganon7157]

Hey Randy, makin dreams come true,is a sweet thing too do😊. JO JO IN VT 💞

[@NATURALBEEKEEPERSCOLLECTIVE]

All I gotta say is. You should of got Mr Ed to help he would not of missed by 3ft lol he would of got the bulls eye! hahaha I wonder how many people appreciate the work you do for those bees and also all the editing etc? Got some important news for you, You now have a 4 year nephew who I think could be your youngest fan, If we ask if he wants to watch Cartoons he says "No I want to watch Rooster and the bees"

[@sharoncarlisle7089]

Love watching you 'wrangle bees'... Fantastic Family...GP❤😂

[@628DirtRooster]

Thank you

[@rossdevin9799]

OMG can't get over how much honey is just dripping like water off your fingers, not to mention the comb you were pulling out, almost like someone was pouring it on you.

[@628DirtRooster]

This thing was loaded

[@sharoncarlisle7089]

Love the pics Randy and family...❤

[@628DirtRooster]

Thanks Sharon

[@RobFarrowATV]

That's nasty! I had a squirrel get in and nest in the Air Conditioner, chewed every single wire thru, some twice LOL! Great job Randy!

[@628DirtRooster]

LOL I’ve found several dead squirrels in bee hives.

[@RobFarrowATV]

@@628DirtRooster LOL, thats crazy!

Thank you Darryl

[@babybeeapiaries8667]

AC is sweet! Just did a yellow jacket removal in an attic, had to have been 30+ degrees more up there. At least it was a finished attic and had air flow.

[@aleset1]

Good one Randy! You are a good Pawpaw! KrispyKreme!!!!

[@628DirtRooster]

I try

[@beaverc2884]

Ok, first off what a shame to see that someone ruined all that honey. ☹☹ Second, that was the first time I have ever found honey to gross me out. I don't know if it was the sound that it made when you were pulling it out or how it was dripping all over your hands and arms, I just can't figure it out. Third, Randy I have watched you pull bees out of some pretty rugged spots but I think this is the worst spot yet. 😖😖 Thanks again for the video. 😊

[@gazinta]

@19:46 I say this every day. "Its not easy, but it's worth it."

[@CherylPix62]

I’m allergic to bee stings! I wouldn’t sleep in there unless you removed every last bees! (I’m not allergic to honey however, so just leave me a covered slab of honeycomb when you leave)! 😋❣️

[@timkarenalderink5175]

Do not know how much you got paid for that, but I am sure it was not enough!!!! Love watching your channel.

[@628DirtRooster]

They definitely got off cheap. Of course, I didn't know how involved it was going to be when I priced it.

[@KG-xt4oq]

Another great video, DirtRooster! Just a thought...would it be worth it to have some kind of storage tank with a capacity of around 5-10 gallons you could keep on the back of your truck to store water in? That way if you're doing a job and don't have access to water, you still have a water source...just spitballin' here.

[@patupchurch1811]

good morning to you my name is pat i am a bee keeper in Exeter, Devon i what most of your programs i fined them so full good information and things that i have put in practice so thank you

You all definitely earned your money on this one. See you all in Louisville.

[@628DirtRooster]

Looking forward to Louisville

[@CherylPix62]

Just a suggestion, but perhaps you could bring a few various sizes of ‘honey drippings pans’, to catch some of the flowing stuff?😊

[@manicoptio9305]

Now that was a grim job. Yuck. Luckily Steven Seagull arrived to do the rest. I recon you need some coveralls and Seagull needs a hairnet to keep the ponytail out of the honey. Keep up the good work and great family/scenery pics afterwards - always amazed at how much abandoned buildings/vehicles you have over there.

[@bigbrickwall]

Hi Randy, do you know how to separate bees from small hive beetles? I have a hive overrun with beetles at one of my sites, so I want to “evac” the bees to another site and clear the frames to save them from being slimed. Thanks, -Steve from Maryland

[@628DirtRooster]

Try putting peppermint candy in the hives. About four peppermints per super is what I've experimented with.

[@hopesadler4000]

Randy. I did a camper a few years ago, and my arms looked like I was in a cat fight. I was on a blood thinner, which made it look worse. Not again.

[@628DirtRooster]

Did you have to put up crime scene tape after? haha

[@hopesadler4000]

@628DirtRooster LOL. Thank goodness they had a roll of toilet tissue in the camper. My arms looked liked a freaking mummy.

[@mychatpalace]

my heart sank when i saw all that honey... dripping over the internal wiring of that stove.... i hope they can get that repaired. no fault of you obviously. i'll be blaming the bee babies for that one.

[@628DirtRooster]

I cleaned and fixed everything.

[@mychatpalace]

I figured you guys would. because you are the best at what you do and cause you are professionals. XD@@628DirtRooster

[@teresajames2725]

What a job.. You should get a mirror on a telescoping rod so you can see in tight spaces. Idk might help. Great job. I enjoyed this video adventure.

[@628DirtRooster]

A prop up mirror would have helped.

[@DerekFisherbees]

Love the camo hat. Try any of that Grey Goose while you were there?

[@628DirtRooster]

LOL Nah, I had a job to finish and a long drive home.

[@robm3007]

This reminds me of the claw machines at the arcade except ur winning almost everytime the claw picking out the honey 😅 good job 👍🤭

[@628DirtRooster]

It's a win win win

[@billnowlin9148]

Great vid!!! I've been missing you!

[@628DirtRooster]

Lots going on. It's been tough to get videos out lately.

[@michaelmartin4816]

I heard you say something about that the colony was sprayed making the honey inedible. There's no way that it could be pasteurized somehow to make it edible? It's just a shame that there's not a means to be able to use all that honey. Excellent video! Stay safe! 🐝

[@628DirtRooster]

Pasteurization just kills everything in it. It won’t remove toxins.

[@blondin07]

So, is it true that if you plug all the holes in a hive it becomes un-bee-leaveable?

[@628DirtRooster]

I beelieve so

[@denised8489]

Did we miss the vacuuming of the need, or weren’t there any?

[@628DirtRooster]

They were all dead.

[@paulheinrich7645]

What killed off the hive? It looked like they had lots of comb and plenty stores.

[@628DirtRooster]

Someone sprayed them

[@sacramentobeekeeper]

I like the new hats!

[@nhgriff1]

Honey dripping everywhere!

[@SylantBill]

Can I suggest a ring door bell camera. You could position it sobyou could see where you are on your phone.

[@josephrawls]

My first removal was a travel trailer. Now when someone says I have bees in my travel trailer......... My response is NO!!!! 😆🤣

[@628DirtRooster]

Wait until you see the next one I’ve got coming up. It’s a monster hive in an RV.

[@TennesseeTim38451]

I’d put plexiglass over the hole and hope to catch the next swarm!!! Built in observation hive!!! You and I both know beekeepers that would do that too!!! 🤷🏻😂

Not a bad idea for a hunting camp.

[@russellaymond312]

Randy a great video. How's your daddy doing?

[@628DirtRooster]

Thanks Russell. Dad is not doing well. Keep him in your prayers.

[@ToBeeOrNotToBeHoney]

My first thought when you said they colony was dying out was, "I bet they poisoned them what a shame." then watching you pull out 80+pounds of honey made me sad and then you confirmed it was poisoned (or one of the people mentioned it)... People need to stop poisoning bees, it rarely works for long anyways because another colony will move in later...

[@628DirtRooster]

Yep, sprayed. Just makes the removal messier with piles of dead bees under the combs.

[@imagin916]

Where I live I think it’s a crime to spray honeybees, you are required to call a beekeeper to remove them. This should be a law everywhere.

[@almamaddux2579]

I have this problem right now. My trailer is parked at my brother's place it's been about 2 months since they moved in.

[@thenodiggardener]

Poor Bees. All that work just to get sprayed. Great B roll footage though.

[@suzannagibson911]

I know this is a dumb question since they sprayed do you have ti trash the comb or can you use it for any other purposes

[@628DirtRooster]

I could be rendered and used as tool wax or something like that but it's no longer any good for anything to do with beekeeping.

[@cameronbartlett856]

The only thing i could see me hating when learning to do this is the mess i have to clean up when the honey gets everywhere.

[@628DirtRooster]

Yes and honey gets EVERYWHERE

[@lorenrobertson8039]

That was a hard to get to hive for sure. Would have been a lot of honey if...the shoulda coulda woulda hadn't happened. Why do people bother to spray pesticides on bee hives? Still got to remove it all...and it just makes it a nastier job IMO. Kinda gross under there anyways for good eating honey I would think. IDK? I coulda woulda left them so I could get me some honey! I sure miss being able to eat honey and other sweets etc... Liver issues so no carbs, treats, grains, etc...for me. I feel amazing now though without all that gut pain and issues I've lived with for over 30 years! Duh...
