I'm colorblind and hive 10 hives. Takes me way too long even on a small swarm. I have a giant magnifying glass. Look for the shiny ball among the fuzz 😂
are the bees you collect strictly honey bees? I’m starting to learn about bees and found out there is something like 20k types of bees. And some are specialized pollinators needed for certain types of crops. Like almonds (84% of the world’s almonds come from California and bees are trucked in to pollinate.
as someone who is fatally allergic to bees your channel has really helped me overcome part of my phobia for bees and have a certain appreciation for them. that being said you're an absolute madman. great vid mate and great channel
Bless anyone who's fatally allergic, I would have had problems long ago if I was having to deal with yellow jackets surveying outside for so many years! Bless DirtRooster for his great works! I have mad respect for your work and lots of respect for our honey bee friends!!
No matter how many bee videos I watch I am still astounded that anyone does this kind of work with no protective gear, and somehow doesn't get stung to death.
Never thought I'd be watching videos of a guy vacuuming bees lol but here we are. I absolutely love how humane and educational y'all are and I'll never stop being amazed at how incredible bees are 🐝💖
Now I know why in another vlog he had not even started cutting the wall yet, but he said he knew they were angry. I wondered how on earth he could tell that already. Now I realize it was because he could already smell their anger pheromones -banana scent.
After a Similar episode at a school removal I now tape paper bags over smoke detectors - I also now put a sign on my van as some people reported us to the police when we used ladders to access a roof of a bank carrying a saws-all (the bank guard & alarm company knew) but 6 police cars still was a major interruption. Nice Job! "They have only been there two weeks" - if I had a dollar......
It’s a freezing cold and windy night here in Dublin, Southern Ireland 🇮🇪 and I’m so enjoying watching this video, I can feel the heat from here lol. Great hive, fabulous bees and a brilliant cut out. Thanks for all your hard work in making these videos for us it’s much appreciated. 👍👌👏
I have no idea why TH-cam recommended me your channel..... bee stings give me panic attacks which sets off my asthma, but you are so entertaining that I can’t stop watching. New subscriber.
As much as I absolutely love honey, watching you do this terrifies me, especially given that you don't wear any protective gear. That being said, I'm grateful for people like you who enjoy the work. Kudos.
Thank You for taking the time to edit and post this!! Love bees to begin with and really enjoy watching your cut outs. Like your hive work and tending also but really enjoy the cut outs because it shows how the bees design their own hives. Each slightly different
Same here I did drywall for 15 yrs and those detectors I’d always leave them taped over only to get a call a week later The worst is when you hit the paraffin vial on the sprinklers with a scissor lift those have cost me dearly lol
Well, since coming across your Chanel about 24 hours ago, I can safely say I've spent at least 20 of those hours watching you rooster!! Love how gentle and respectful you are of the bees. It is all totally fascinating. Keep it up. X
Hahaha! Fire alarm indeed. I cracked up. Boy oh boy you sure had a bunch of bees there. Good job on free hand catching the queen! C'mon Horchoff - do that! Have a fantastic week.
Very interesting and good for you for taking the time and care of transferring the bees! Don't understand why you don't suit up sooner at least with a head net! THANKS FOR THE RIDE AND KEEP ON KEEPIN ON!
Never gets old watching entire clumps of bees tumbling down the wall and getting vacuumed up. Nature has a wry sense of humor. Thanks for mentioning the banana pheromone bit. You might have before but I didn't remember it. Very interesting info!
Thanks for your videos Roost. I do pest control in bee removals, it's always cool to see what the other guys encounter and how they approach it. And my last name just happens to mean keeper of the bees in german. I'm thinking about starting bee keeping because of your videos.
I'm just surprised the queen did not die on the spot seeing that watermelon hand of yours running her down. Great catch, now I'm going to have to do that too. God's peace brother.
Mr. Ed I think "rooster " has more bees than that 8ft hive that you had, but he said he put this one off for awhile. That "rooster "is a competitive guy, he let them grow so he can say his was bigger than yours , what do you think? LOL Good job "rooster"
@@HMallory1 You are correct, the Rooster is one VERY competitive guy, and I know he will go to great lengths to raise the bar no matter what the situation......you got to love it about the guy. God's peace.
It really does amaze me you can usually find these queen bees in these cut outs! I sometimes have trouble finding them in hive boxes and I KNOW they're there and they don't have so many places to run and hide! I sometimes tease you about the queen hunt but it really does amaze me you find them most of the time. That was a nice, big hive! Always love getting to watch you do cut outs!
jhodges405 - I hear you. I love watching these videos, and I’ve got a few friends who have colonies in their yards, but that fear that’s built up for 60-plus years is a BIG hurdle to get over.
Hey, helping out the fire department, buy your buckets from Firehouse Subs for $3. It's the buckets their pickles come in, and the money goes straight to the firefighters and their equipment needs.
Hello there DirtRooster. Great upload as always. It was neat the way you caught the queen. I saw which one she was this time (only because you pointed her out, but it's an improvement). Greetings from Paris to you and yours.
I randomly stumbled across this video/channel while killing time. When he goes to to Tractor Supply, I thought that it looked amazingly like the TSC in North Gulfport, MS. But, they probably all look similar, right? Then I clicked his store link and what do you know? He's a local. Kind of scary that I can recognize our TSC at a glimpse like that... Good work my man! You are a lot more brave around those bees than I am... Now THAT's a good honest living. God bless.
Love love love! Grew up eating fresh honey and honeycomb. I actually have honeybees tattooed on my back in honor of an uncle who raised them. I miss that guy!
I enjoy your y/t s a lot. Love to see your area of MS and LA again. (Lived a year in New Orleans and a year in Mobile as a kid.) I pick up tips on handling my bees. *AND, it reinforces the reason I don't do cut outs* ! I "make bees" 'the old way' with splits and swarm traps. -Blessings!
Small wonder bees could be seen hanging on the outside - that's a full nest right there. Looked like they threw a welcome party for your arrival and everyone was invited. This also should mean it was a really good location for them to have built up they way they did.
Man, that was packed in some tight space with no air and obstacles. Good idea with the fan. Man that’s a lot of honey. Thanks for the video. Looks runny. Maybe because it’s so hot. Ouch. On the finger. Teach him to flick. lol. Now there’s a one handed queen catcher. nice job. They’re gonna bust down the door. Thanks for the video.
I don't know why but I've watched about 50% of your videos in the last month learning about bees I used to be scared till I seen you dreak with them. Great content!! I've had about 3 hives in 3 of my house I moved to they just love me I guess but I tell you what next time I'm removing it myself! Love the videos
Its really interesting that when you were able to just start Vacuuming up those bees after finding the queen that the bees almost became a liquid XD Them just flopping all over the place.
I'm always amazed that you can spot the queen among so many bees. Besides the size of the queen, are there other things that indicate the presence of a queen?
Good size job with nice bees. Always wanting to learn: what’s the deal with not framing up the brood late July. I lost the cutout brood early July to hive beetles and wonder if July is just off limits or what.
I am wondering the same thing - why not put the brood, larva and eggs into frames to put with the bees when you get them home - or where you are cutting them out?
Wow. Impressive that you spotted the queen in that mass of bees. Well behaved bees. (Important when working in a confined space.) Hope that salvaged the straggling foragers. And you did a nice job replacing the dry wall. Very professional workmanship. :)

I used to be terrified of bees. Now they fascinate me. I love it. I thank DirtRooster and Jeff Horchoff bees for educating me.

bingo dingo yep.
Is your allergy strictly to their stings, or can you also not eat honey?
Im assuming the bees feel your positive energy and don't see you as a threat. What a gift to have.
No matter how many bee videos I watch I am still astounded that anyone does this kind of work with no protective gear, and somehow doesn't get stung to death.
Breaumance ur name sounds homo-ish -2/10
Bees are very friendly! Wasps are not.... I watch a wasp dude too and he ALWAYS wears protective gear.
Koselill you watch hornet king?
Depends on your location I guess. I keep bees in Trinidad and we have africanized bees, so bee suits are compulsory.
Never thought I'd be watching videos of a guy vacuuming bees lol but here we are. I absolutely love how humane and educational y'all are and I'll never stop being amazed at how incredible bees are 🐝💖
7:57 Angry bees smell like bannanas, huh, learned something new today!
Also feels like a set up for a pun.
you could say when bees get mad they go absolutely 😎😎 bananas *ba dum tiss*
bees when someone attacks their hive: this shit is BANANAS... B-A-N-A-N-A-S!!!

I’ll never cease to be amazed by the engineering abilities of bees. It never gets old for me.
That hive was so big it was “alarming”! 😜
Good video title. lol
when you panned up to the covered up smoke detector I giggled!
Lol Pulled that electrical cover off and that poor bee went flying.
I giggled at that too... replayed it and imagined a "pewwm" noise.

Thanks Kevin. We got all the stragglers as well as a few thousand bees from other colonies. Nothing like adding to an already huge colony.
@23:43 - "There's our queen..."
Queen: "Unhand me peasant, I will have your head for this! Do you know who I am?! Let me out this instant!"
Use a magnet to find the drywall screws after youve made your cuts. That way you can simply close the wall up with the same piece of rock.
Would the sound/vibration from a drill agitate the bees though? Also the sheetrock probably needs to be replaced anyways.
