I like the new intro, but I really miss hearing "Where hobby bee keeping is a way of life" every time!

[@carschmn]

No kidding. How to we know what’s a way of life?

[@mary-ruthflores4107]

Yes, I miss the old intro, but do like the new, Just randomly say it during the video!!

[@SarahU2000]

I miss it too. I catch myself saying it for him 😂

[@beaverc2884]

Randy your an amazing person. The world could use alot of your Randy kindness and love. Take care.

[@kennethmatthews2388]

Randy, thank you for your help on our old place. We had fought those bees for years and decided it was time to call in the big guns! If anyone needs a bee removal done, I would highly recommend him. Hope you had a chance to eat a Zip’s Burger while you were in Magee.

[@LothianTam]

Hell, what was it like living with those wee guys? Even a wee bunch would have had me hopping xD

[@kimberlyfawn8310]

The shiplap(?) in the kitchen is adorable! Very nice place.

[@LawsonsCreekApiary]

I’m sure you made that homeowner happy. Awesome of you to give away that EasySee.

[@GEEZBEEZ]

Really enjoy the old pictures and history behind them. Good job on the mudding and construction. Liked the old skeleton key to the front door. Thanks for the video.

[@philleggitt3005]

I love the way you have an eye for derelict beauty, with natural views & plants at times...Many thanks from the UK...

[@Objective-Observer]

What a cool old place. That stove is from the 70's, according to the color. Thanks for the B roll footage of those out buildings and the little town. It's sad to see towns shrivel, but amazing to see how well the archtecture survives.

[@sherryortiz227]

Loved watching this old house being done. I found a bunch of those boards in my attic when I bought my house in 89. Used them to make a floor across the trusses and some closet shelving. Showed my veteran son the bee job you were doing. Guess I've never shown him any in the past years Ive been watching all of them. He couldn't believe you're not suited and not minding the 10 or so stings. He just got his first sting 2 months ago when I brought one in on my suit.

[@lewiemcneely9143]

You take some FINE pictures. I remember the pole buildings, paneling and even the old oil jugs, moss and blue copper wire, the whole thing. Bet Pop does too. Good job patching. Just do what you have to do and the switch is for the oven light. Us old geezers know these things and might still have one ourselves. GBWYall and have a LARGE weekend!

[@angieryan2544]

What might help when you’re wearing your protective suits is a cordless neck fan, they really are great and you can charge it in your truck on the way to a job! 👌🏻

[@LindaSmith-vq1br]

I love your photography. Please keep on showing it at the end of your videos.

[@jkell42]

“We’re waiting for the stop sign to turn green”- that was funny!

[@larryshatzer998]

Hello Randy, I use to be a bee keeper way back in the early 1970's. I bought my first hive when I was about 23 and loved the hobby. My father use to be a police man in our small town of Elsinore, Ca. When I started with the bees I used his contact with the local Sheriff department to be on the call list when people called in for swarms. I would get a call from the people and go and remove the swarm on the house or trees. I did not do what you call cut outs. When I started there were no bee vacuums and not phones to capture heat source. Heck there were not even cell phones. I only did that for a couple of years until I got married and we moved away from Elsinore and started our family. I have always wanted to get back into bee keeping but my health is prohibitive. I watch your videos on my Roku so I am able to sit and watch in the living room. I just love your channel. If my health was better I would keep a hive. We retired to Salt Lake City, Utah area and do not have the space for more than one hive. The city has zoning against more than one hive so I use that excuse not my health. I have went back on your channel and have watched some from 8 years ago. I would comment but I am not sure if I can from the TV so this is why I came to my computer to leave you this message. Love your channel and like when you take your wife along. Larry.

[@628DirtRooster]

My next video is for people with physical limitations. You might want to get bees again. 😃

[@melissaaudler8975]

I'm glad yall reclaimed his house for him. Great work.

[@livefree810]

Loved your video, J P the bee man told us where to go if we want to watch a great guy at work, lol I agree with J P , great job.

[@yasminnilima2366]

I really like your stillpictures in the end! You capture momets that are so beautiful. Me myself become kind of sad to se homes whither away. Memories lost. That musik did fit my mood.

[@TimeIsHoney]

Man that’s awesome you did a mite wash right away! Very cool on the spot data of a colony you’re removing!!

[@jones91b]

As always Randy I am amazed at your work and the thoughtfulness you give. The pictures are beautiful you should gather up all the pictures you have taken and open up a store or a museum to show your work not only do you capture the details you capture the story and life thats behind the pictures.

[@egparis18]

You did a great job, DirtRooster. Grand music, grand slideshow, grand scenery. Thank you for bringing us along. See you again soon.

[@jenineclonch6359]

LOVE your photos of rural America. You have quite an artistic eye. Wonderful video!

[@aj2587]

Randy the bee wrangler. Up until very recently I used to run screaming if I saw a bee, now I'm super calm even if one lands on me thanks to you. Unless it's a wasp and then all bets are off.

[@davidpook5778]

To me, wasp stings aren't nothing to a bee sting.

[@beefriendlychannel7965]

I used to kill them as a little Reggie. I used to admire the Orkin dude. Nobody told me(probably because they didn't know) that honeybees were different. The good news is that I only killed one at a time, so the queen had probably had me ratio'd 50,000:1. Now I manage about 10 million of the little darlings. Overcompensation? Perhaps. But I've never slept or ate better in my life!

[@Ron-vq3zl]

Randy, Great video ALL THE WAY AROUND!! Enjoyed watching the "cut out" as always, & enjoyed all the footage of the house & grounds as well! I love to look at the construction and layout of older homes, and REALLY LOVED the log construction, of those old out buildings!!! Sure would love to get ahold of that old Push Mower, at 30:28, so I could disassemble it, & see if there's any chance of restoring it!! I think that would make me a REALLY FUN, & INTERESTING PROJECT!! 😊 Take Care, & Will be waiting to see your next "Bee Wrangling Adventure!!" 🙂 Your Faithful Viewer & Subscriber, Ron Abilene, TX.

[@avarralythande5129]

Amazing! You not only repaired your cutouts, but you fixed other ppl’s work to make sure everything was done right. That’s what sets you above the rest. You take the time and do the right thing. Plus you took the time to record it! Thank you for another great video! Hope you had a safe trip and a great rest! Looking forward to more great videos. Wishing you and yours good health and happiness! 🌺

[@randlerichardson5826]

I’d like to have them old log barns great video and job Rooster 🐓 be safe and GOD BLESS y’all Amen 🙏. It’s short sleeve weather here in Tn right now but we’re going to get 3-5 inches of snow here tonight and tomorrow morning GOD BLESS

[@TheSealedNectar01]

Crazy bee house, enjoyed the video. Keep 'em coming Dirtrooster😅😁

[@susanbeebe8577]

Great video. Nice that you had some help on the first day, too. The still shots of the old buildings are really cool. I like seeing those. Thanks.

[@flowerstreetfarmbees]

More great photography at the end!

[@sstem2169]

GREAT video! I really appreciated you getting deeper into the carpentry aspects of this one. Thanks, also, for showing the kitchen area, that's some classic/vintage stuff! I appreciate your sharing cool stuff like this with us!

[@deborahberklite5380]

I really like watching your videos, whenever you put things back together you use common sense and that's hard to find anymore

[@maryjanebeatty6030]

Great cutout! Love the old buildings. Thanks for sharing and taking us along! Hope your dad is doing well.

[@brucesbees]

Great stuff Randy. Another classic! Cool old structures. Stuff like that all around southeast Alabama over here where I’m at. I often try to imagine what it was like when people were living and working in and around old buildings like that. Probably people with dreams and goals just like you and me. What were they like? What were their thoughts? Who were they? Thanks for sharing man.

[@brendahere]

That hive is amazing. I can just imagine how long the owner suffered living with those bees. I can understand his feelings of just giving up the house. You guys did an amazing job taking them down and repairing. Very interesting.

[@angieryan2544]

I’ve never kept bees 🐝 in my lifetime and never will. But I love watching your tutorials/videos I’m obsessed 🐝 It’s very calming plus I’ve learned so much too! It’s fascinating to watch 👏🏻 You’re wife is definitely the queen 👑 B🐝👌🏻

[@nikiakbik5896]

Wow! First time watching. What a good guy in all that you do. Taking care of bees, people and just so kind. Love the photos and music at the end. Great eye for photography. Thank you and all you do.

[@barbarabermudes1287]

I really wish I knew something about construction. Those old building are definitely cool :)

[@aleset1]

Randy you are a true craftsman! It is a pleasure to see your work and a true delight to see the photos of the place and the old buildings! Thanks so much for sharing those.

[@Arne279]

Thanks for the pics of the old buildings, I always enjoy your videos.......

[@rmagnum70]

I finished drywall for 20 years if you add hot water it will make it set up faster also if you use a old mixer beater don’t take your wife’s you might get in trouble and put it in your drill and mix it together you won’t get any lumps

[@nailladi1]

You have so much fun! Love these videos! Excellent story teller!

[@darthlaurel]

Those appliances are from the 60s, I bet! Holy smoke!

[@greenzonebees]

Great job, as always. I have a cutout in an old house on Thursday. Good 'ol plaster walls, will have the shop vac running while making those cuts no doubt.

[@TheRedneckprepper]

I like old places like that ! old time were hard but they call it the good days

[@martinprehjan9944]

Love your videos, and accompanying stories here and there! ... 60 bucks a night? WoW, ... that is awesome! Here on the west coast that there is a 180 dollar room!

[@russellkoopman3004]

Randy, you are stepping up big time. Very nice video, loved your talk through and the ending was classic. I noticed not many people asking who got the bees - did you find the queen. But the work was grade A.

[@chrisr7746]

I spit my coffee out!! Waiting for the sign to turn green lmbo!!! Thanks Dirt Rooster!!!

[@BohemiaBees]

Another great cut-out bee rescue

[@dawnstudley3368]

I really enjoy your videos, and love your photography! You have quite an artistic eye!

[@58Kym]

That was really interesting, thanks for showing me around an old American farm and houses. Can’t believe the old log sheds, so fascinating!

[@tomasjosefvela1]

Your such an amazing photographer, i could feel that town through those shots you got, amazing! thanks for sharing!

[@rodneymiddleton9624]

Cutouts and repair of old structures can be labor intensive!! I'm guessing that none of the prior were done properly to seal the bees out. Thanks for taking us along. Did you find the queen?

[@CinSpain]

Love these photos ❤

[@kimpettit2703]

Good job Randy glad to see you feeling better with that back.

[@SandraNelson063]

Construction, bee keeping, art photography...if you can ballroom waltz, Mrs. Dirt Rooster will be the most envied woman in America!

[@mbgal7758]

These girls were a little spicy 🔥 You could just tell they sounded angry. I’m glad it’s spring and I’m looking forward to more videos.

[@subpoppy1]

can't tell you how much i appreciate being able to see and hear just a little bit of home. so good to hear my home folks talk. thank you so much

[@628DirtRooster]

My pleasure. Come on back home next chance you get.

[@jojoma2015]

As always a love your photography 👍🏼

[@Highstranger951]

Our stove in my childhood home was the same model, brings back a lot. Thanks

[@stupidasyoutube]

dont know shit about bees. but I watch this channel because hes a genuine person and i love that.

[@rickwarner516]

Old and well worth watching thank you Randy blessings to you 👍🏽❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@donbearden1953]

Randy, I hope the bed in the $65 a night motel slept better than the beds at the $170 a night at the conference in Sevierville where we stayed. You know just like I do that you’re liable to find anything and any type of construction when you cut into a wall at an older house. It looks like the job went rather smooth over all. I’m very glad to see the Sheetrock mud that you were using because I’ve never seen it. I’ve always bought it premixed in a bucket and it dries very slow! Thanks for the video.

[@therangefamily6273]

You ever run into a pinch on hot mud grab that lightweight premix compound and plaster of Paris. Mix it up and you’ll get a feeling for consistency. You can play with it for 10 minutes and it’s set up in 20.

[@FreddyA85]

Definitely laughed harder than needed when Roku gave you the back sass at the beginning of the video. Thanks as always for the great videos bossman.

[@joellel3527]

I love the pictures. Some people see rot and decay, some see nature reclaiming its space.

[@darrellhamner4608]

Oh, how many times have i forgotten to zip up! You'd think I would learn. BTW that's some blade you got there!

[@joanneganon7157]

Hey Randy, I can't believe that Gentleman was gonna give up the House to the Bees 😱. Thank goodness for you and the buddy helping, now Mr Jimmy can stay Home 🙌🐦. It's true that it's a small world👍. 💥I have the same deep oven Dish that was up in the corner Brown with White drizzle on the handle. No I'm not as old as Mr Jimmy LOL. It might have been my late Husbands ,small world😱. JO JO IN VT 💕😄☃

[@dsummerscm]

Enjoyed watching you and Anthony work together! Cracked me up that he forgot to zip the suit up.

[@kareno8634]

Would Love to Help retrieve Bees. It's the Fact you Replace\ Rebuild what removed, is REALLY what i Need to Learn! All's a mess here,^ and i haven't even started with the Bees. ^Got to stop trying to 'fix' until i Know how. lol ugh Just BEAUTIFUL - The House construction,Trees\ Woods, View. Old Buildings, sure Could use, even if just for wood. *THANKS, GREAT Work! Cheers to All

[@stephanielovatt2787]

Interesting places you work! In New Zealand, our old internal linings tend to be shiplap, hung vertically.

[@melissajohnson2935]

Back in 2010 we had a house fire and after we rented this cute old farm house and it had the exposed original (for the most part, it did have some some newer patching repairs) shiplap walls and I absolutely loved it! Even in north Louisiana you'd get frost bite of your feet in the winter time if you didn't have house shoes on because there wasn't a livk of insulation under those floors and I'm it was pretty drafty making for high summer electricity bills, but I would of lived there forever if I could have!

[@benkirkland5354]

[@walterhunter4011]

Your a very good man given that bee suit away! Big heart from a big man! Great video Mississippi man!

[@wadebarnes6720]

That is how my house is really really old farmhouse actually two houses both of them was damaged so they cut the damaged part off both then put them together

[@reneebrown2968]

Randy if you ever have to use that holey tape make you mud mix thicker, more like waffle mix rather than pancake mix. It should hold thicker to the holes and cover better. Then the second coat as usual pancake thick

[@dannsherstone1037]

A little Canadian humour at 21:19!

[@TanksInSpace_]

I love those Easy See windows, can't wait till we can buy them here too.

[@Susietacoma]

I like those old buildings too. These are fascinating videos. You guys work really hard!

[@628DirtRooster]

It can be hard work for sure.

[@phillipmckinney7906]

You have great videos so keep them coming...I grew up living in a house in the Oil fields of KY that my dad worked and retired at and eventually passed away at ...🙂that had nothing but bead board with lead paint and im somewhat ok... so guess i didnt chew on any as a kid but its nice to see the old world again

[@richardsimpson5152]

Great photos at the end.

[@carschmn]

Chuckled at how the owner was about to let the bees have the house.

[@paulraymond2966]

Thanks again for your podcast on this amazing opportunity to work with this amazing message concern 🐝 Bee keeping

[@628DirtRooster]

Thanks for the support Paul

[@lagrangebees]

I'd love to try a cutout at least once to know if i like it. An exterminator reached out but I don't have the gear to open walls and get to a hive. so had to decline .

[@davidmartin6312]

Great Video Randy. Those old building look like they we built out of the Yellow Poplar Trees, if the yellow tint was not from your camera angle.

[@628DirtRooster]

I’m not sure what wood it was. The bright yellow or bright green was an algae. I almost made the pictures black and white because I didn’t like that color but that’s what the scene was.

[@wranther]

Great piece of historical photojournalism to close out an enjoyable video!! Stay Safe and Keepum Coming! -Bob...

Those old buildings look like the place could be called Entropy Acres

[@jaredpeterson380]

Love the deer story. As a young bowhunter one October morning, had to cross a small fairly deep creek. Pitch dark. Just put my foot on the far bank when a beaver slapped the what 3 ft behind me. Cleared that bank pretty fast.

[@628DirtRooster]

Maybe they should try using animals to help Olympians perform better.

[@beefriendlychannel7965]

That patch tape with holes in it? That's how it's supposed to work. Those dimples are like rivets on the back side for the first layer. But.... They're for holes and wide gaps. The idea is to put a thin primer layer down, then push the tape in. And flatten it out to remove any creases with the knife. For wide gaps, you gently push the tape into the gap so it curves in. It gives the mud backbone until it dries. Then put you on your finish layer. The flat paper tape is what I use. In my own place? I use the good stuff. Whole 'nother ball game.

[@628DirtRooster]

I definitely should have used paper tape on this

[@beefriendlychannel7965]

@@628DirtRooster that hole tape works good but I think one step is getting it wet first. Like wallpaper. It's messy stuff compared to the mesh.

[@lesliejohnson7247]

How’s your dad? I have been praying for him. I have so many questions but I guess the most important subject is about varola mites. I gather they’re not as big of a problem because of your climate, right? I wonder also why if they’re present, why others don’t get them? Why isn’t the hive infested? Also, have you ever seen a hive overrun with them?

[@randlerichardson5826]

It’s raining honey wow
