A real honey hive for sure, those folks will be eating honey for the next 3 years....and picking wax from their teeth as well. Awesome video and great pictures at the end. The black and white pictures were my favorite. God's peace brother.
They reconnected with some long-lost relatives and estranged friends when everyone figured out how much honey they had. You know the old lottery winner syndrome.
This is not really bee related but i have binged watched you for many months. Being 70 and house bound with MS your videos bring me so much joy. I cannot see the country like i used to do,i have never seen your part of the country from Colorado. I love all the extras for sure it brings a lot of joy to this old woman, thank you so much and the bee info helps me go to sleep at night i just love hearing them in their hives😊. Thank you so very much!!!
I was literally confirmed as having M S yesterday, i knew it was coming so i went to Italy and saw Pompeii, Sorrento and went up the volcano. Gotta do these things now just in case, though it seems the treatment is a lot more effective these days. Hope you are pain free and able to get out again soon
I 2nd this. Seeing Pops out and about is a great sight to see. I've finally got to where I can get my Pops back out and about after 5 or 6 years stuck indoors. Man is he happy to be out again, I love seeing the bright look in his eyes
I Love how you include your Photos of America.👍 In many ways that is the best part of your videos Randy, thanks you for sharing America with us 1 cut out and a time.👏Blessed Days my Beekeeping Brother in Jesus.😁
Hello, my name is James. I'm using my daughter's tablet. The best part for me is when you framing them and checking out their hives. We enjoy watching your channel. DIRT ROOSTER IS THE BEST
Thanks for the new vidja Randy. Awesome content. Lots of devastation up this way and South of here. Y'all deal with the effects of Hurricanes much more than we do, but our turn to share it with others this time. But, we are blessed and the community is rallying around for each other, just as it is supposed to be. God bless and hope all is well with you and your family. Love the photos and the stories they tell. John here, photographing the beauty of the back-roads of Northeastern Tennessee..
GREAT to see your dad!!!! Wow.....what a beautiful honey haul. That queen was doing a really nice job!! Hope this make a nice hive for you. Take care Randy!!
Hi! I love your channel for 2 reasons: 1. I love learning about bees 2. I'm a Biloxi girl living in East Texas and I miss home soooooo much! 😥 I love all of the videos and photos of home that you post. I miss the saltwater, the breeze off the Gulf and our yummy food! East Texas knows NOTHING about good food! Thanks for sharing all that you do! 😃 God bless and happy buzzing around!
To me it is beautiful and I love bee's and iwish I could raise them but my husband won't let me he's not a bee lover ,love your videos thank you, God's blessings and to you and family, thank yyou.❤
WOW HUGE COLONY That one is as big or larger then that log cabin cutout! They have been in there a while I'd say. 😁Way cool Randy thanks for sharing.👍 I built houses for to long to want to do cut-outs. Oh, I hate doing brick work on older buildings, old bricks can be so touchy after years.
Sidekick Pete must be slacking, you coulda used some help on that one! Those were some of the biggest combs of honey I've ever seen. Awesome colony! Hoping you got the queen in there
Thanks for taking us along, Randy. What HUGE blocks of honey! Thats a honey of a hive. Made my mouth water! The close up of the queen cup was interesting, as were the mating hive beetles. Appreciate you showing and telling about the tallow trees. One of the things I like most about your channel is how much I've learned from you. Plus learning a new vocabulary word is always fun to me. "backstrap". Now i need to figure out how to slip that into a conversation, so I sound smarter than I really am😂
great video, i like watching you work, you’re a very experienced, battle tested bee keeper, and it shows! One of the things that drew me to your channel was the fact that you are going into to these bee removals absolutely raw. Man i would be flinching and swatting every which way! keep up the great way of life!
Wow what a hive! That made my mouth water just looking at it. I enjoyed the video thank you for sharing it ❤❤. It was good to see your daddy on here. He looked good.
I really enjoy your videos. I have learned so much about bees and honey, I almost bought a nuc. Lol. On another note, the segments in your videos, the parts of Mississippi that you explore along the way, are simply a beautiful way to express what is great about America. Some places are rough and maybe the community is having a hard time, you still capture the essence of America, the promise that better times lie ahead. I love this country and I have a richer understanding of who we are. Thank you~
I don’t know if I missed you catching the queen or not have man it’s so great seeing you with your dad man please don’t take it for granted do it all you can because we are not promised tomorrow lost my dad in 2016 and lost my mom in 2022 always love your videos man keep them coming hope you have a blessed night
this has been my first episode back in a long time, and I noticed something...Youre photography practice has paid off! You were just getting into taking photos and learning composition around when I stopped watching. But this vide has some very wellexecuted shots and transitions. Good Stuff.
It's a monsta! The more you learn about those crazy bugs, the more interesting they are! They do stink terribly when they die, especially if they are wet. I have never watched SHB reproduction videos before!
I sometimes think we should have big clear display boxes and cut honey to fit, weigh and label right on the spot. "All natural wild" should make a primo sale price. Then, I wake up and chuck it in the bucket and keep vacin' bees...
Great work, Ive been a fan for years. Your photography is getting incredible. I see and love street photography in your shots. Black and white for some reason says Pure Life. Please read about a nanny in Chicago named Vivian Mayer. I see a touch of her ideas in your work.
I think I've seen every documentary on Vivian that's been put out. She doesn't get the credit she deserves for the work of hers that's been made public.
Haven't watched your channel in quite a while Dirtrooster, let me just say you are lookin GOOD!! Lost a ton of weight, keeping the beard better trimmed, you looking like a fine suth'rn gentl'mun! Keep it up! Great hive too, so soothing to see some of these, especially when they produce those wonderful bricks of honeycomb.
Wait! Did you find the queen? How many lbs of bees (minus what you gave away). Did you create more than one hive at home? I didn’t hear it how many total bees would you estimate was in that hive? Thank you! This was an incredible video!
Great video, such a gigantic beehive. You're doing a great job, your videos are always great. And your photos even more so. Thanks from East Germany, Brandenburg. If you have a few bees left over, send them to me, they can fly the few kilometers. ;)
the hardest part for the bees is getting the bee contractor out there with a bee engineer to determine the structural integrity of the comb so they can get their occupancy permit. And who knows how long that will take.
Do you remember that time when old Dirtrooster brought home that Ero side ways hive. And do you remember the look on the Rooster's Dad's face. Yeah he looked at DirtRooster like he'd just drug home a dead skunk. LOL, best thing on youtube that entire year!!! Yeah, them were the good old days. LOL!
A real honey hive for sure, those folks will be eating honey for the next 3 years....and picking wax from their teeth as well. Awesome video and great pictures at the end. The black and white pictures were my favorite. God's peace brother.

I "ditto" all that Jeff mentioned :) only better... and more complimentary (';')( ';')...

It's great to see your dad out keeping you on a straight line. You're a good man to get him out when he feels up to it.

Nice to see your dad was able to come supervise.
He loves that job
Those honey bricks were awesome. Bees are crazy sometimes in what they'll do. Great photos, as always ❤
Thanks again!
I Love how you include your Photos of America.👍
In many ways that is the best part of your videos Randy, thanks you for sharing America with us 1 cut out and a time.👏Blessed Days my Beekeeping Brother in Jesus.😁
Absolutely!
The photos are my favorite part of putting a video together. I shot almost 400 pictures yesterday at a Monarch festival. lol

I hope so too! Hope y'all fared well in the storm.
@@628DirtRooster Thanks Randy....we are good. MANY folks not so lucky to our west.
The pictures at the end of his videos are my favorite part. So wholesome. This country boy is living the American dream
So glad the beetles were in such a loving mood so you could record it.....bwahahahah. I can't unsee that now.
That just made me hear Marvin Gaye singing Let's Get It On.

Bricks of gold for sure. Thanks for sharing. Wow.
Warm liquid gold
WOW HUGE COLONY That one is as big or larger then that log cabin cutout! They have been in there a while I'd say. 😁Way cool Randy thanks for sharing.👍
I built houses for to long to want to do cut-outs. Oh, I hate doing brick work on older buildings, old bricks can be so touchy after years.
Holy smokes. That was a massive amount of comb and bees. Yeeesh. Another Rooster adventure for the books.
It was indeed an adventure
Some serious back straps there! And not a single bee harmed. 😁
Nothing like harvesting back straps out of season
Haven't saw a video from you in a while I always enjoy them awesome
Thanks for stopping in Bill
Great video, Randy. I was drooling a little for a taste of that honey. And I love the pics, especially the grands at the beach!
That was a fun afternoon chasing birds. I'll send you some honey.
That was some beautiful honey!! Made my mouth water looking at it! 😊😊😊
Honey over vanilla ice cream is what I'm thinking right now.
Just another great video, witdh a real bunch of bees amd honney.
Oh yes!
Sidekick Pete must be slacking, you coulda used some help on that one! Those were some of the biggest combs of honey I've ever seen. Awesome colony! Hoping you got the queen in there
You got that right! I got the queen.
The backstrap comment was awesome!Great seeing your dad in the video and black and white montage plus music really set the tone.Bravo Randy!
Everyone wants the strap. Haha
You have a beautiful family.
You are so kind
That's a bunch of Bees! Lots of SWEET HONEY! Good to see pops and you...
Thanks Jim
Awesome. Thanks for the video.
You bet!
Good to see your dad. Tell him we say hello.
Good to see your dad out and about. He's looking well. :)
Thanks Chuck. He's doing good these days.

Thanks Rick
"Bricks of Gold"!🐝🐝🐝
What's that lost city of gold everyone is always looking for?
@@628DirtRooster Your backyard. LOL
You must have enough bees by now to makes your own bricks of gold.
Have you started recording in higher quality? Looks sharp.
This was shot on Iphone 11
Wow what a hive! That made my mouth water just looking at it. I enjoyed the video thank you for sharing it ❤❤. It was good to see your daddy on here. He looked good.
Dad is doing a little better these days.

Thank you so much for posting! Crazy bricks.
You bet!
Well that was fun. Nice pics too. Thanks.👍👍👍
Thanks Joseph. Sorry I missed y'all's live last stream night.
@@628DirtRooster no problem. It was kind of a last minutething anyway.

Thanks Randy another great video and thanks for the pictures at the end. I always love seeing the photos.
Thanks so much. Glad you like them!
Wow! Very impressive, both in honey (talk about a brick!) and colony! 💛🐝
About as large as they come down herer.
😅slabs o Honey. No be harmed 😮, and hood to see the Boosman there. Thanks Randy
Thanks for dropping in man.
Wow…What a hive and delicious looking honey. 🍯 Great video Randy🐝
Thank you kindly Michael
You shoulda just closed em back up and put an hinged door on that honey side!
Good idea, a (cut your own comb kiosk.)
💯👍
They could have made side money on gazebo tours.
One hour event. Bring your own EpiPen
Thank you very much for the video DirtRooster .... I enjoyed it.
Thanks for watching and commenting.
Good Ness!
Yum Yum🎉.
Great job Randy 🌞.
Hi Dad, you keep an eye on that boy of yours🤣!
JO JO IN VT 💞
😁 Telling dad hi.
Great video. Thanks for sharing
Thanks for the visit

Welcome back and thanks for the compliment.
Great video, thanks Randy.
Thanks Alan
Wow that is a LOT of bees and loads of honey.... yum
Finally, a video 😊😊
I knew Jeff would be here!
Thank you for the long video. It made eating supper special 😋
Thanks for watching all the way through.
I love the videos. The photos at the end are the icing on the cake.
My favorite part too.
Your stills at end really show the changes in southern Mississippi since I was there in 61-62 at Keesler.
The biggest changes occurred after hurricane Camille in 69 and Katrina in 05. Completely different place.
Wow, so impressive, thank you!!
Thank you too!
Great to see your Dad!!
He was happy to be there.
I have never seen such honey bricks before. Amazing!
Pretty rare to see them like this.
Randy Great video .Tell your dad Garfield and Windy said hello from Scottsboro Alabama .
Sure will. I’ll see him tomorrow.
Woweeee Beautiful, Thank you for sharing love to see your Daddy ❤️🔥🌺🍍🌴✝️🇺🇸🤙🏽
You are so welcome
17:57 -- WOW ! What a huge chunk of honey. The sort of thing that beekeepers dream about. Beautiful.
I wish that was a common sight
That’s some beautiful comb
Those racks of honey comb....salivating over here!
Get the biscuits ready
It's a monsta! The more you learn about those crazy bugs, the more interesting they are!
They do stink terribly when they die, especially if they are wet.
I have never watched SHB reproduction videos before!
Hey bro. Glad y'all came through that hurricane okay.
Wow! Amazing cut of honey!
Steak house cuts.
One honey filled hive for sure! Thanks!
It's a shame it had to come out.
Randy, those honey bricks flung a craving on me!
Ha! They tend to do that. Hope you're living well these days Mr. Don.
I sometimes think we should have big clear display boxes and cut honey to fit, weigh and label right on the spot. "All natural wild" should make a primo sale price. Then, I wake up and chuck it in the bucket and keep vacin' bees...
Probably have a line of cars waiting their turn to purchase.
PG-13... hive beetles mating! Colonies that just keep giving.
Rated TVMA ;)
Awesome to watch, haven’t seen a new video in a while, missed my bee keeper, great job, toot a Lou !🇨🇦🇨🇦
Thanks 👍 More on the way.
I can't wait til my honey arrives . Damn that looks good
You’re gonna love it.
@@628DirtRooster if it is I will order 3 pounds the day it arrives
Awesome video❣️
Thank you 🤗
I want the honey straight out of the hive just like that! Sooo lucky!! Ugh
Good to see ol Dad!
I’m glad he showed up.
That is amazing about the bees knowing about the weight. I keep bees and I didn't know that.
They are interesting creatures.
Great work, Ive been a fan for years. Your photography is getting incredible. I see and love street photography in your shots. Black and white for some reason says Pure Life. Please read about a nanny in Chicago named Vivian Mayer. I see a touch of her ideas in your work.

Talk about sweetness overload. That’s a lot of honey. 😊
Diabetic haha
Love the photo afterwards grate seein the children with the pumpkins
That was a fun morning watching them load their wagons.
One day I’ll get to try fresh honey, one day.
It’ll happen
🥇Quite spectacular to watch you do all that work in those kind of conditions. 😉👍♥️🥇
Fun stuff. Thanks for watching
Honey Bees are such wonderful animals. I'm rather scared of the killer kind though.
They're sweethearts, just misunderstood. lol
Hey Dad! Nice to see you.
He’s smiling at your comment.
Good to see dad in the video.
I’m glad I could include the old fart. 😊
Wow that's good 👍
Haven't watched your channel in quite a while Dirtrooster, let me just say you are lookin GOOD!! Lost a ton of weight, keeping the beard better trimmed, you looking like a fine suth'rn gentl'mun!

Wait! Did you find the queen?
How many lbs of bees (minus what you gave away). Did you create more than one hive at home? I didn’t hear it how many total bees would you estimate was in that hive?
Thank you! This was an incredible video!
I didn't weigh them but I'd guess 50K or so. I did get the queen.
That’s a super queen, I hope you got her.
She came to my house.
Great video, such a gigantic beehive. You're doing a great job, your videos are always great. And your photos even more so. Thanks from East Germany, Brandenburg. If you have a few bees left over, send them to me, they can fly the few kilometers. ;)
I'd love to send you some bees but I doubt they'd make it through customs. :)
Wow! Huge hive! Great job getting it out of there. Did the brood you framed, survive?👍😊💕
dang!!!! thats amazing!
Wish we saw more like that.
the hardest part for the bees is getting the bee contractor out there with a bee engineer to determine the structural integrity of the comb so they can get their occupancy permit. And who knows how long that will take.
If they're dealing with our town, it'll take a while.
Saw you at Sicily's dude on October 2nd. Sorry I didn't get up and say anything but you were already headed out the door.
Small world. You should have said hello.
Nicely done. Would like to see you clean an put building back together also.
Cool pictures.
We do that in some other videos.
The essence of bee work!
Those bees did fine work.
That looks delicious
It was!
Great hive and dec ent play a long music. You said don't frame up brood but isnt that what Jeff does all the time? I liked the old truck photo
Oh yeah, Jeff frames up brood. I'll educate him this coming season. LOL
Do you remember that time when old Dirtrooster brought home that Ero side ways hive. And do you remember the look on the Rooster's Dad's face. Yeah he looked at DirtRooster like he'd just drug home a dead skunk. LOL, best thing on youtube that entire year!!! Yeah, them were the good old days. LOL!
Wow! Those were some busy bees. Thanks for catching on your phone 👍
You bet
dude that is the biggest honey reserve i’ve seen! i’ve only ever been able to get my hands on random abandoned nests up in central PA!
Fingers crossed for you in 2025.
Another cool video Rooster definitely a 12 pack job. lol
