Kids Never Even Saw Them

[@kathybrandt6060]

Those houses were enormous. I wouldn’t wanna vacuum them every day. You did a wonderful job catching those bees thank you.

[@honeybeeasian7718]

That was great. The mailman was having none of that. I almost heard tires squealing XD

[@628DirtRooster]

+Honey Bee Asian Oh I wish. If I had thought of it I could have added a tire squealing sound effect. haha

[@lemons6981]

628DirtRooster that would have been great

[@gallowaylights]

The giant!😂

[@TheMontanaDave]

"classy bees" You had me rolling on that. Another good catch, and glad you showed the girls fanning. It is quite a thing to watch once they find their safe spot. Damn that is a pretty nice place. They must have been "golden" Italian bees hrhr.

[@628DirtRooster]

+TheMontanaDave Mafia bees. Got all the money/honey.

[@TheMontanaDave]

628DirtRooster That was exactly my thought. Well you got them now. Hopefully they aren't too "High Maintenance"

[@TheMontanaDave]

They are going to want a Granite Stone sided box, with a copper roof.

[@628DirtRooster]

U are my first Bee channel. I also subscribed to that smiling laughing guy u are always advertising for. I love your content! Humble and caring! Two virtues that are rare these days my friend. I just wanted to say I love u and your content and keep ur family in my prayers.

[@mansfield360]

Mark I’m guessing you’re indoctrinated, the climate is changing but not as drastic as you think....by 2100 temperatures will be 1.5 to 4 degrees warmer. If we got rid of all technology on earth we would only stop .3 of this....let’s find a solution that makes sense lmao.

[@mansfield360]

Mark and instead of crying about plastic straws or CO2 how about California, San Francisco, Baltimore, Chicago, New York, Detroit, Atlanta ect clean up their homeless and the feces and drugs they leave behind that destroy the environment. Greta thunburg should head to China, India, and then EVERY COUNTRY IN AFRICA...and tell them no fossil fuels for you... The left is full of hypocrisy and double standards, they don’t care about the environment they’re the elite.

[@chinoserrano4292]

[@thomasz2945]

the best tool to collect bees. it involves just a stick, and a bucket... well, ain't that just plain creativity! *only on this channel will you get that!* keep up your great work, bud.

[@628DirtRooster]

Thanks for the views Y'all.

[@JeffHorchoff]

In defence of the poor mailman that missed the two boxes, by regulations, mailmen are required to avoid all hazardous conditions and protect the mail. The mailman did his duty by avoiding the swarming bees, but more importantly, by avoiding the crazy bee guy trying to catch the bees. You did notice that he peeled out leaving the scene?

[@628DirtRooster]

Their creed mentions. snow, rain, heat or darkness. Says nothing about bees.

[@JeffHorchoff]

Trust me, in the fine, fine print under the creed," Neither snow nor rain nor heat nor gloom of night stays these couriers from the swift completion of their appointed rounds" it says: " or anything that is scary to the mailman be it man or beast, then it's ok to skip some mailboxes."

[@JeffHorchoff]

Oh yea, don't forget, I had 27 years delivering mail.

[@628DirtRooster]

Nothing scary? lol

[@628DirtRooster]

It's a ligustrum and it does produce nectar.

[@tedlumley4470]

I'm in Canada and we had 14 bee hives when I was a kid. I'm super paranoid about wasps etc...but not honey bees. If it's a nice sunny day you can work with em without any protection - as you know. Once in a while I'd get stung in my clothing and you could actually smell the pheromones from the bee that stung you. Also swarms like the one you dealt with aren't actually that dangerous. One time I accidently walked within a couple yards of one in my neighbourhood and they didn't react at all.

[@628DirtRooster]

Yeah, I only got one sting on this one. You can see me picking it off my arm.
