I don't know why, but it warms my heart to see you and your missus working together like that. It's obvious you're friends.

This may be the best video I have made my way back to from today's date of 9/26/22! Your Wife is Beautiful in more than just one way! She supports who you are and what you do, you are a lucky Man, you found a jewel and I think you know it! You guys have the relationship I wish I could have found. Don't let a day of life go by without being thankful for it, small problems are just that, small problems.

Great job, your attention to detail in cleaning and putting everything back perfect as you can is the best part of the video to me. So many times you hire people to do a job and they leave a complete mess.

[@kyliepechler]

Yes, he certainly did a commendable job putting everything back together for that old lady.

[@celieboo]

So true. I had a plumbing chain fix my blocked sump pump line. They tore up my back yard and left it that way. My landscaping company scolded me for using a plumber. They said "this is what plumbers do! They don't care about your yard. Had you used us, we would have cut out the sod, fixed the line, and replaced the sod pieces for an essentially seamless repair." Instead, I had the pay my landscaper about $1000 to till, rake, and seed the area that the plumber tore up. An expensive lesson learned.

[@janvafa9959]

Love how you and your wife interact!

[@viscache1]

One thing I have found out about ‘code’ in older homes is that lots of builders and home owners knew NOTHING about the ‘code’. I have yet to give an estimate on a job and come in under estimate in an older building. Now I have an addendum to the contract that states that any ‘non-code’ (at the time it was built) structure that causes extra work will be billed at $380 per hour. One universal truth: “Bees LOVE electrical wiring!” I’m always amazed that for the lack of $16.00 worth of caulking the whole mess could be avoided. Great job! Great video!

[@628DirtRooster]

You are 100% correct. Just a little maintenance will usually prevent many hundreds and sometimes thousands in repair costs.

People who complain should just go away. This is an interesting, informative site.

[@jdgindustries2734]

I'm a Locomotive engineer, across the tracks from our yard is the largest non-commercial Locomotive works in the world. They had pigeon problems and so staged a bunch of owl decoys on the works building. One day, I'm taking a set of engines off a track to go over to the next city west and shove a heavy train back over the hill (we call the jobs "helpers"). As my conductor and I are heading down the yard track to leave, we are passing a coal train on the adjacent track. Perched on one of the coal hoppers is an owl, just starting at us. I thought it was one of those decoys until we actually went passed it, and watched the feathers on its neck ruffle as it turned it's head to watch us go by. Clearances between two trains like that is somewhere between 16-24inches. That owl sat there as two 3,000hp diesel locomotives rumbled by, and only turned it's head to watch us.

I am loving watching your Bee videos. You are so kind to the Bees and your customers!!! ❤

[@doak4886]

“I take a stroll through the house while I have the little woman deal with the very dangerous electrical box.” Isn’t there some kind of camo you can wear so you don’t scare the Queen when you want her to come out? If you had a big black and yellow bee outfit you could really put the sneak on her.

[@michaelwilkening8542]

The last thing you want to wear when bee wrangling is anything black. Bees naturally go for anything black because bears noses are black and that's the only place a bee can sting them because of the bears heavy coat. That is why I was surprised to see dirt rooster wearing a shirt with black on it.

[@kyliepechler]

@@michaelwilkening8542 I was wondering why the bees are attracted to the color black. Thank you! for your comment explaining the reason, for those of us who didn't know. Much appreciated.

It was great seeing your wife with you! She seems really nice! So I was wondering what we should call her. Anything with rooster wouldn't be appropriate. "Dirt Hen" is a complete no go! I was thinking "Bee Queen"! She did catch the first queen of the season! Maybe she already has a title and I've missed it... And I'm still hoping for some kind of food vlog. I spent a week in Slidell about 10 years ago at an IT Security Conference as Stennis and found some really good places to eat! It's unlikely I'll be back for that reason, but I would love to visit again! Thanks for the video!

Fantastic video Randy and Mrs. I had a swarm last spring that believe it or not I found the queen on the ground below the cluster and picked her up. Went to try to put her in a queen cage and she flew off, thought to myself well that’s that. Flew around my head about 3 times and I managed to pluck her out of the air. Still hard to believe how lucky that was.

This was especially interesting opening up an old house. The old construction techniques are so different from today, which is also very different from just a few years ago. BTW, if you recall, I'm the architect who suggested a few months ago that you write a book to tell how to bee proof a house (illustrated with your own outstanding photography skills). If you decide to do that, don't forget to include tips about older houses. BTW, personally, I really enjoy your music selections. Thanks for sharing this informative and fun cut out with us!

[@628DirtRooster]

I do recall. Whether I do a book or not I really should do more photography of these hives.

Randy, you could buy some couger scat, or maybe dog. I know when we had deer getting into our garden the game warden said to get some couger scat and put it around. You can get it at the natural garden center. We have a place called Down to Earth, and they sell it, or get some live traps :-)
