This customer is very close to my heart. My dad had a large house with his model airplane workshop in the basement. Dad passed 8 months shy of his 90th birthday. Dad was very active until the last 4 months of his life. His heart got weak and he couldn't up and down the stairs. I have his models, equipment, tools etc. Each of my kids and grandkids got one of his model planes. That is a feat because the planes have a 6ft wingspan! There are a few smaller ones but dad was into the large planes. He was a pilot back in his youth and was in the Army-Airforce in WWII
That layer of wax moth debris was so thick it was a wonder the queen cage was not sucked into it like quick sand. This video proves that bees are not particular where they build, even if it's in the graveyard of another beehive. God's peace brother.
Dekay's Brown snake - harmless - is a common snake found throughout the United States and range in the entire state of Mississippi. They are small and brown, often with a noticeable lighter middorsal stripe. Adults can grow to around a foot in length. Sides may be dashed or checkered, but individuals are variable. Anecdotally, those not familiar with snakes may call them “baby copperheads,” though the are completely harmless to humans and pets
I appreciate your respect of the owner's request that you not show the house. But dang - I would have loved to see that house! What I could see was intriguing. Always good to see you sir, and your partner in crime - hope all is going well in this very hot summer. God bless you both!
Hello there Julie. Was thinking about you a couple days ago and was a bit concerned since hadn’t heard from you in a while. Glad to see you commenting!!
@@MikeBarryBees Thank you Mike! I've been away, but am home again,, lots to catch up on with my favorites!! Sir Randy of the DirtRooster clan is the first channel I started following, so I just started catching up on his first! See yours soon!
@@628DirtRooster Thank you sir. My designer and architectural background was itching to go exploring, but those homeowners deserve their peace and privacy. I did enjoy your artsy photography at the end, you do have the eye! You always have but it continues to develop and improve!
As a fellow bee rescuer, I can identify with not always coming across those perfect picture hives! Hey, I look forward to hearing you speak at the Alabama Bee Conference! When I saw your name as one of the speakers, I knew I had to attend!
Oh c'mon guys, that's not a snake--that's an overgrown earthworm! LOL, seriously though, what a cool workroom that is. Glad the owner got a chance to come down and take a peek at what you guys were up to. Randy, your photography improves steadily, some really neat shots!
That looks like a real nice house. Incredible to thin those bee’s were living in that house for all those years. The only thing I can think imagine if you guys had got there before they swarmed.
I always love the pictures at the end and the music. Today you really blessed me with that song I looked it up and downloaded it I really needed that reminder! Thank you.
In my older years now I see the pictures your showing in the videos and think what memories and what it was like years ago of those places. Thinking process changes as the age creeps in.
Wow, the Art Deco building at the end of the video was unexpected. Aside from your entertaining bee rescue videos, I am really enjoying your photography, you have a really good eye for composition and scenic context. Look forward to seeing more of your work as I check out more of your videos.
I love your free tutorials on pest control! I would never of gotten into the business if not for you two and the Hornet King. Thanks again for all your hard work, and keep these awesome videos coming please. Edit: Can't forget Mr.Ed of course! :)
@@628DirtRooster Oh really? Didn't know that, you do seem to have your fair share of many different species of wasps though. Just did my first hornet removal last week. Thought wife was going to film it but she just shot a few bad pictures lol. Thankfully the customer took a really short video and posted it on Facebook I believe, it got a few hundred views and was well received. Hoping that will stir up some business soon.
If I wasn't scared of bees, I'd love that kind of work. I grew up in the country and I'm no stranger to getting stung, but I think DirtRooster gets stung more in one day than I have my entire life.
So after watching and reading through the description from this video specifically, i have a question I never considered. Is there a "common" amount of hives or a natural maximum population of bee's in certain areas or climates? Also want to tell you, there's never enough video of you and Pete out doing cutouts, that friendship you guys have reminds me of some past friendships that I miss, always Joking around, laughing and having a ball, even when working, especially when working! Making a job not feel like work, at.all.. Thanks for sharing what i presume is just one of many many cut outs that haven't made it to YT yet.
Hey TJ the amount of hives for an area is only limited by a few factors. The two main ones would be available food source for a given area and available spaces to make a home. Jus this year we removed ten hives from an area where they were no more than a mile apart between the two outside ones. That area could probably handle a hundred hives during a flow if there were places for them to move into. Of course if you were to look at more arid environments their hive load per square mile would not be nearly as strong due to limited resources. So in the end it just depends. Yep, plenty more unedited removal videos waiting to be put together.
I love your montage at the end Mr 628….📷🤛🏼 From watching the small footage of the basement, you can see that at one time, the home owner was an active gentleman… shame that he’s unable to use the basement any more…💔
It's wild they populate a cavity over and over for so many years. I recently did a cut out the Family said had been there for 43 years. The wife was kinda emotional about the removal. They wanted some comb for the kids and grands lol
Seemed to be a very well worn hive tucked away inside that big old home Randy. Again tho I also must compliment the way you include some of your rich photography towards the end of a video. You must be working on a pictorial history of your area / region? Keep these videos coming, pictures too! -Bob...
@@628DirtRooster I would suggest that the randomness of the shots as you post them to your videos is part of the attraction, aside of the quality of the shots capturing reality in a natural form. Very Enjoyable as you do post them up!

I will accept that, but sure looked triangle headed to me! Belly looked plain though. I'd have killed it.
Thank God this guy helps him he does most of the work, hes in most of the Videos this guy really helps alot, . And knows alot about bees,
I appreciate the pictures Randy
More on the way in the next video.
GREAT show old man 👴 . You be my hero. Learn so much here.
Thank you Henry
Love Pete's Laugh.
That's a Dekay's Brown grass snake. TOTALLY harmless! Glad you let it live.
Me too...glad he missed
Missed? Oiooh.

That is one HECK of a basement work room!! Those must be 12 foot ceilings? I'd LOVE to see the rest of the place.
Fourteen foot ceilings in that dream of a man cave.

Looking forward to the conference.
Amazing how calm and static those bees were, Love it🥰🤩 Glad they will be better looked after with a better home #savethebees

I really like the photography you are including at the ends of the videos. Some very cool shots!
Glad you like them Dana!
Randy, good video! I’m surprised that Pete didn’t run away when he found the snake. That must be one big house!
I think he did run but he had time to settle down before he got the camera and went back out.
Love the outro photography Randy…Thank you 🙏
That looks like a real nice house. Incredible to thin those bee’s were living in that house for all those years. The only thing I can think imagine if you guys had got there before they swarmed.
I always wait for the pictures.thank you.

Wonderful! Have a great day Patti
Love the soundtrack at the end of this one. Almost got a little * Emotional 🥹 * . Very nice
Very nice song.
Oh my Goodness 😰!
Yes you got Her 🙌🐦
Well Done ✅😊.
JO JO IN VT 😆💕
She made it to the cage safe and sound. :)
Randy, that 1st sign said it all (Dead end, No outlet) thanks for another great video.
Just truth in that sign
Very Cool........................
Cemetery shot, very true.
They just wanted to be clear about what business they're in I guess.
In my older years now I see the pictures your showing in the videos and think what memories and what it was like years ago of those places. Thinking process changes as the age creeps in.
Love how you document older buildings and equipment. Pretty soon here all the history will be lost with new construction
Great video! Love your photography! Fun to see Pete The Heat Signature!
Pete is one of the hardest working men in the bee business! There's a story right there! #singlehivehoney
Wow, Randy, just wow!
Another great video Randy! I really like that song you used at the end of this one.
always look forward to your urban decay photos
Monster colony. Good stuff Randy!
That's one of those that has been Massive before and working back up to it again.
I love the random pictures at the end, I sometimes get a bit emotional, the pictures of times past or forgot. Thank you for that
That's the kind of things I like to document.
I think this one is my favorite video so far. Good job. Awesome work. Keep 'em comin'!
Thanks Barbara. Only took ten hours to edit. haha
Pete gets all the best jobs........
His life is a dream. Gravy jobs and he keeps a lot of the honey too.
Having someone on the ground getting stuff is great to
It's a nice work place. Great job boy's
Your photography skills are brilliant! Love the stills.
Wow! What a workshop!
Love the pictures you took very nice

Keep singing Van Morrison...she’s as sweet as Tupelo Honey, Honey baby from a tree. She’s an Angel 🎼
She really is an angel
Please, please give Mr. Edd lessons on camera operations. Your the best .
Good Time Charlie handles all that. I'll have a word with Charlie. ;)
Great episode! Thanks!!!
Good eye Randy!
Great time watching the extraction of that hive. Did it still have a lot of hive beetles?
Not many
Awesome

Great vid, nice to see some more pics. I'm actually doing some astro imaging right now!
I was watching someone live on TikTok earlier who was zoomed in on Saturn, I think it was. It was flurry but you could see the rings.
Love your videos👍🏻
Thanks Mary
I love your montage at the end Mr 628….📷🤛🏼
From watching the small footage of the basement, you can see that at one time, the home owner was an active gentleman… shame that he’s unable to use the basement any more…💔
Bees swarmed at a golf course here and sat in several piles on the cart path for days. I have never seen that on any videos.
Hey Rooster 🐓
@628DirtRoosterBees Can u upload another video Randy
This looks more like bee rescue. Also glad that snake survived
Bee and snake rescue is our new business model. lol
It's wild they populate a cavity over and over for so many years. I recently did a cut out the Family said had been there for 43 years. The wife was kinda emotional about the removal. They wanted some comb for the kids and grands lol

I have some photo projects in the works. These were just some random shots that were on the SD card in my camera.
@@628DirtRooster I would suggest that the randomness of the shots as you post them to your videos is part of the attraction, aside of the quality of the shots capturing reality in a natural form. Very Enjoyable as you do post them up!
That appears to be a common Decay's Brown Snake. Congratulations gentlemen... you almost killed a slug eater. ;);)
I think that's what it was.
Have you ever tried a hand uncapping tool to cut out with?
Dekays brown snake. Harmless
I bet those bees appreciated the rescue after losing swarms like that to the workshop windows.
They fought us all the way.
Great video, but would be nice to see the bees move into their new home.
When y’all asked if ol dude had a discussion with the snake, he shook his head like oh nah I didn’t talk to him 😂😂😂
In te summer with a 5 frame nuc should I reduce the interest of the hive or live it open
I wish I could find a nice old workshop like this, for sale, but without the bees, and DEFINITELY without those dam roaches!!!!
Hello
That’s a harmless dekays brown snake
Hey Rooster! Is that old dry comb able to be rendered and used? Or is it shit?
It can be rendered
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Man, I could never afford a place this big for a lifetime unless it's in the middle of nowhere
Is that old black comb even able to be rendered? What do you do with that?
It renders out to a beautiful yellow.
