Something you might consider; My local power co. has plastic insulation sleeves they slip over hot wires when there is power equipment being used near them. You might look into getting some of those for putting over the house feed wires for your safety.
Damn Randy do me a big favor.. I work for power company… Next time just call ahead and tell them you need some service wire covered with some blankets they’ll understand and protect you… Keep up the great work
My worse nightmare. Mean bees! Going to have nightmares. Little boy was so well behaved, respectful, cute comment about bees stinging - what they're supposed to do.🤭
The girls just love Pete!!! 🐝 🐝 I may or may not have watched this video just to see Pete get stung. Also, I never just laugh at Pete. I always laugh with you at Pete. You guys be safe put there. BEE Blessed. 🐝
Mmmm .. Champagnes Haven.. at first I thought it was the home of the stuntman. Boy the weather sure changes fast in your neck of the woods and finally, you just can't cuss when the nipper is about no matter how many times you get bit. Another good video.
It bothers me so much that people dislike Randy's content, I can't help but smile and laugh constantly when I watch, keep up the great work Randy, I love all your videos man.
Haha your the best Dirtrooster…. Much love from Gaffney South Carolina…. PLEASE be careful of that power line Pete…🙏🏻. I’m afraid of heights like that little dude…🙏🏻
They make a insulated blanket that you can drape over live electrical lines to protect against shock. PS if you let enough honey drip on the scaffolding it will get sticky enough that you can’t fall 😁
Heh, y'all made the Jerry Clower reference when Pete was up on the scaffolding, and my mind went straight to Mr. Clower's joke about when "Marcel Ledbetter" decided to open up a moving company business. Marcel and a buddy of his then attemped to move a huge piano out of an upper story window with nothing but a rope and a block n' tackle...🤣🤣🤣🤣
I used to replace electric services in homes. My first step was to go up to that building drop and cut and tape the wires. Then I could freely rip the service down. Final thing to do was to strip and reconnect those wires to the home prior to the job being inspected and "cut in" by our local power company. The likelihood of an accidental shock is minimal, but caution is never unwelcome.
Awesome job guys for a not so pleasant or safe job. Pete you’ve got to be a little more careful. Randy glad you were looking out for him. That’s neat he brought his grandson along. Take care. God bless!
Great video buddy!!A tough one for sure!! Greatest quotes..you "use your inner sloth... Pete. there stinging the crap outta me...the young man replied!! " isn't that what there sposta do!!" EPIC✅😉🤣🤣🤣🏴☠️🏴☠️
You can call the power company and ask them to put a safety sleeve over those wires for a day so you can safely do those removals. Usually they will once you explain the situation and most of the time you can ask it be installed in the morning and removed that night or the next day.
I thought it was Big Foot hiding behind some leaves on the tree, then, as I looked closer it was just you. Poor Pete, he certainly was the pin cushion on this removal. God's peace brother.
New kind or rain!! Sweet yellow rain.. Next time you all have to sing”” rain drops are falling on my head”” 😂 that was a tuff one to remove .. I feel safe on a ladder coz it don’t move around that dang scaffolding is like being half lit up on a quart of shine in la la land!! Move a tiny bit an the scaffolding moves 20 feet!!!!! Thanks for the video
This is the cut out I hoped Pete didn’t get stung. You let me know that was in vain. Sorry. So let’s hope for a good productive hive!! I was first with 👍! Love your videos. Thanks so much. Take care.
I enjoy watching your video, I would like to continue, and therefore a bit of firm advice from someone who has worked around High Power lines. Remove all metal from your body. rings necklaces, watches, belt buckles. Wear long-sleeve shirts and full-length pants. This will make your obituary more distant in the future event.
All good wearing long sleeves until they melt and surgeons are picking bits of melted fabric out of your skin. Make sure its a thick top or better yet, flame retardant.Not just any long sleeve shirt with all due respect. 5 years ago i went through a 415v underground mains cable at work while breaking concrete with a jackhammer. Electricity is absolutely no joke and i am extremely lucky to have only got burns from the plasma flash and it didnt arc over to me. 3 explosions though My trousers were melted up one leg, high viz vest melted to my hoody but luckily my hoody was thick and didn't melt and thank god i had no gloves on but most importantly some impact goggles that i spent 3pounds on which no doubt saved my eyes Be safe around cables!!
Your videos are always interesting, last week at our local Walmart a swarm of bees gathered on a shopping cart it was amazing how many bunch up so quickly. Have a safe week bee careful lisa@moneypit homestead
New beekeeper here. Been watching for 2 years. I have 2, 10 deep frame strong double brood hives. Any thoughts on testing for varroa mites or should I just treat for this year? Thanks for everything!
I know from your videos that some hives are more aggressive defending their home vs. other hives, but do some hives pack more venom per bee vs. other hives?
@@628DirtRooster Will you please do a video or segment about the facts and myths of Africanized/"Killer" Bees? I've always wondered how you have never seemed to encounter them in the years I've been watching.
Just a quick question about comb in cutouts, what would you say is a typical thickness of comb in the cutouts that you've done? Thank you, I enjoy watching your videos.
Pete didn't concern me at all, but that youngin' would've done me in. Like Foghorn.... I say, I say....boy, I think your mama wants you. No?....go find that dawg boy, the dawg...go take his picture! Take him some beez and tell him the Rooster sends his best wishes. Go on now boy. ..go find that dawg.
Knock em out John! Shoot up in here amongst us, one of us got to have some relief!!! Love the Jerry Clower reference, you're alright Rooster. I dont care Mr. Ed says about you... ;)
He'shavin trouble in the heat because Chantix does weird things to everybody differently. Once he's done with smokin and the Chantix he'll be back to full power!
I hope you get something to isolate wires like that. When I worked in powered switchboards, we had thin rubber mats that we put around and over the live wires and components we weren't working on. We had two current levels on the sites where we worked, 230 and 400 volts. The old timer that went into retirement used to lick his fingertips and "test" for what voltage there was in the wire. NOT RECOMMENDED! He did it so he didn't mix up the two. He was accurate but noone else took up his "traditional ways". All the rest of us had measuring tools with us.
Randy, if only there was a way to restore the energy and endurance lost when washing away that gray hair.🤣 That would be a miracle in a bottle, that’s for sure! That coastal humidity will sap every ounce of energy you have in less than 5 minutes at our age! West Central Florida on the coast, so I share your pain with this hotter than usual summer we are having. Hope your family is thriving!
Hey in the future, if you call the power company before starting, they’ll send a lineman out to put shielding on those wires for you so it’s a little safer. Don’t think it costs anything.
GA Power here disconnected the power to my house at the pole for a tree guy to do some work. They came right back and reconnected it. Your power company may do that also. It minimizes the excitement.

If you have time. But if there is a tornado anywhere they will forget about you.

Next time you're in that situation, split one of those swimming pool noodles on one side and slip it over the wire.
Brilliant. Even water pipe insulation.
Perfect idea. Or just an inner tube for a bike.
*"Clever Girl,"* as the Game Warden in the movie *Jurassic Park* said! (Irrespective of YOUR gender, but no offense intended; just quoting!)
i liked your half pint helper. "isn't that as bees are suppose to do??? " gotta love kids stay well

I hated being around live wires. I'm just glad neither of us got to see how much juice was in them.
I like your young helper there! “Channel your inner sloth and slow down.” 😂
yep. I've tried that classic walk away in a figure eight evasion technique.
I'm sorry, but Pete squealing every time he gets stung is kinda funny 😄😂🤣 pool noodles fit around power lines really good.
I was the dish guy once. Thank you for your service.
OUCH! Good work guys! We need more videos that's for sure...
Hearing Pete scream Yaaargh in background was hilarious 😂
He cracks me up when he does that.
You guys are getting Y YYY rated.
Awesome job guys for a not so pleasant or safe job. Pete you’ve got to be a little more careful. Randy glad you were looking out for him. That’s neat he brought his grandson along. Take care. God bless!
I was half expecting Larry the cable guy to pop out and say "there's your sign!"
Not to be pedantic, but I think it was Bill Engvall that did the "Here's you sign" bit.
Larry showed up but he wanted to get paid to be in the video. LOL
Great video buddy!!A tough one for sure!! Greatest quotes..you "use your inner sloth... Pete. there stinging the crap outta me...the young man replied!! " isn't that what there sposta do!!" EPIC✅😉🤣🤣🤣🏴☠️🏴☠️
You need some split open sections of pool noodles to cover wires like those.
Every time I watch you guys I want to get into the hobby…stings and all.
There's room
That is called the Twig lock . Very hard to pick . Love the content thanks for the up load.
Nearly impenetrable to the average plunderer.
Beautiful rain. Send some our way!
Next video you can call him "Pin Cushion Pete" he takes stings more than I do.
That sounds like his pirate name.
Keep some cold pickle juice in a cooler during this heat in case y'all get to hot, it helps a lot.
That was a Dandy! Glad yall got some honey out of it, nobody was hurt and Jr. found out that a way of life ain't so easy sometimes. GBWYall!
Little man was running around recording on his Kindle making his own cut out video.
@@628DirtRooster He'll probably take it to school and be the editor of the school paper.
Thanks for the laughs! Slow children signs......
You are some darn hard working guys!!!!!
When i heard that clang i was waiting for the sparks to fly. ⚡⚡⚡ glad it worked out and nobody got zapped by anything other than the bee's.
i'm so glade there are people like you in the world that understand how inportant bee are. THANK YOU

Rooster keeping the neighborhood safe from bees. Even though bees aren't the predator.
Shocking yet satisfying. That heat has been sweltering lately.
Omg...he is making me a nervous wreck waving that tool around that electricity line
Gotta love the Jerry Clower reference
Mr. Clower's son used to teach at the school I went to in 7th grade. He used to come in our class room to tell us jokes.
A man of southernmost culture I see!
I thought it was Big Foot hiding behind some leaves on the tree, then, as I looked closer it was just you. Poor Pete, he certainly was the pin cushion on this removal. God's peace brother.
And Pete does all his own stunt work too.
LoL 😝
You need to get an 'electrical insulator pad' or blanket, to throw over those wires while working around power wires, it will protect you !!
Poor Pete! Wrist stings are the worst!! 😆
Aw don't let him fool you. Pete screams like a banshee when he's getting tore up but I think he really likes it. ;)

I was first with 👍! Love your videos. Thanks so much. Take care.
You're so fun to watch. Always learn something! Thanks!

Take care of Pete he’s a interesting character
I see a keg…the cable man got attacked by Buzzed Bees! 🥸😂🐝🍺
Used to be a keg. Now it's a cooking pot.

Be safe around cables!!
These days i have thick orange flame retardant, anti static gear. Expensive but theyre tough and last long
What is the difference between queen cells and swarm cells? Is that two different names for the same thing?
Next time put some pipe insulation around those wires!
We need to see more of you and your bees!!!
I was in them recording today. :)
I'm in Georgia, you said jump in the river and I half expected to see an alligator!
Your videos are always interesting, last week at our local Walmart a swarm of bees gathered on a shopping cart it was amazing how many bunch up so quickly. Have a safe week bee careful lisa@moneypit homestead
You should have caught them to add to the money pit.
@@628DirtRooster That would have been great if we had something to gather them with LOL
Imagine, a guy from Mississippi, plugging a jerry clower story!!🤣😂 is the dirt rooster from “ya-zooo city, Mississippi????
Always enjoy your adventures!
More to come!
This would be a good video to send to any customer that says " Why are you charging me ? Your getting all those free bees and honey".
I heard that Jerry Clower line in there. Lots of fond memories stirred there.
Jerry's son was a science teacher at the school I went to in seventh grade. He would always come interrupt our class to tell jokes.
You know it's raining bad when the bees take to the canoe in the back!

You can shut off the power to the house period from the meter reader. Very easy to do
These videos are so satisfying 🐝
I literally felt those bee stings on this video
I was going to say watch the power lines but it wouldnt help now...lol
