Fun fact for ya... At 31:50 the video gets intermittently shaky during the time lapse segment. It took me a minute to figure out what was causing this. The air compressor was sitting too close to the tripod. Every time it would cycle on it would vibrate the camera.
Music is from Epidemic Sound

Mr. Ed is going to be very jealous of that queen catch!! I’m gonna call him and rub it in... That’s about one of the best I ever saw!
He's got to come up with some James Bond action to top catching a queen on a wire.
@@628DirtRooster 😂🤣🤣
Proud of you both - You went above & beyond to help an old lady fix her bee problem for good. :)
I always hate it when I stick my pocket knife in my head. Best queen catch I’ve seen all year and a great job on the removal and repair as well. God’s peace brother.
Thank the Lord for this thick head of hair. It hides all the stab wounds so well. Can you believe that queen snag with a piece of a floral arrangement? That’s Mr. Miyagi level fly catching right there.
Mrs. Dirt Rooster, the Queen Whisperer
New bee keeping family here because of you two guys. Thanks for the videos! Love from Concord NC
Do the bees die in the vacuum container?
@jeff Horchoff bees.... crazy to have one legend commenting on another legends work!! You guys are both top notch in my books!! Absolutely love the videos and just the good nature of your channels!! And this is coming from a guy that's deathly allergic to bees ... and wish so bad I could have my own one day 😪
I don't know why, but it warms my heart to see you and your missus working together like that. It's obvious you're friends.
31 years together will do that to you.
@@628DirtRooster Congratulations on 31 years together. These days that is an amazing achievement Sir.
Much respect to you and your wife. 👍
This ol' granny likes seeing your sweet wife with you.
HI GRANDMA
I am not a beekeeper or plan on being one but there is something calming and fun to watch when viewing your videos. Thank you sir👍
Awesome, thank you!
I agree! Just found this by accident. He has a calming voice and presence. Helps my anxiety tremendously, thank you and Mrs for sharing.
I agree! I just happened upon these videos. I love them!
This is how I started beekeeping - watching videos like this at night to calm me haha
Oddly true
Hey, Bob Ross painted better than that owl looked.
Definitely not a happy little owl, haha.
I agree 💯. he was a GREAT artist
Yeah I always enjoyed watching Bob Ross
It was so much fun to watch you work with your wife. You speak in a higher pitched voice with a very gentle tone to her. It is so clear that you love her dearly. Thank you for sharing this beautiful video which I viewed near Valentine’s Day. It made my day.
Yep, it was great to see them working together on this one.
When your wife look at you and In Her Eyes said said "its not hard to catch a queen"..lol.. Great video!!
Some people are just quick learners.
The bee's reaction to you opening the hive space is the same as when ya get the covers yanked off on a cold morning: HEY!! What the heck are you doing!! (concedes defeat) Alright, fine. Whatever.
Bees to Miss Dirt Rooster: AAAAH, A NEW QUEEN!!!!! XD
Great job, your attention to detail in cleaning and putting everything back perfect as you can is the best part of the video to me. So many times you hire people to do a job and they leave a complete mess.
Yes, he certainly did a commendable job putting everything back together for that old lady.
So true. I had a plumbing chain fix my blocked sump pump line. They tore up my back yard and left it that way. My landscaping company scolded me for using a plumber. They said "this is what plumbers do! They don't care about your yard. Had you used us, we would have cut out the sod, fixed the line, and replaced the sod pieces for an essentially seamless repair." Instead, I had the pay my landscaper about $1000 to till, rake, and seed the area that the plumber tore up. An expensive lesson learned.
Your wife did a nice job -- stayed calm the whole time.
I hope that you're making progress with your skin cancer. (What would the bees do without their dirt rooster?)
Wait what!?
@@vids2002 -- The Dirt Rooster is being treated for some skin cancers on his face.
Oh wow, I thought they were bee stings.
You need to take your wife to work more often, more video of the Mrs. please!
I will this summer.
Definitely agree ☺
God bless you for going the extra mile an elderly person.
What a lovely couple. The queen grabbing the other queen as she says it was effortless!!!
It's always awesome to see a couple fully in sync working together ❤
ur wife is gorgeous ! another cool video !
I loved every second of this video. Great to see your wife in it, Looks to me like both of you are Contactors. Thanks for the years of education Randy. And cheers to the queen catcher.
She has put in her time on remodels. I can turn her loose on any job. lol
It would take a Caterpillar DC 11 to get my wife out of the house right now :)
Heck you could probably one handed shovel the drive and hold her hand with the other so she doesn't slip on any ice. Come on down south a little ways. It's a toasty warm 20 degrees tonight.
@@628DirtRooster come on up here its a balmy -28 degrees. Bees are also a little sluggish.
The Rooster Queen getting it done with the catch of the year. That was cool.
You are blessed to have some great help. Family that plays together, stays together...
I think it’s because they feel like ur not a threat anymore like they start to trust u. Man ur the honey bee whisperer 😂😂😂
“I take a stroll through the house while I have the little woman deal with the very dangerous electrical box.” Isn’t there some kind of camo you can wear so you don’t scare the Queen when you want her to come out? If you had a big black and yellow bee outfit you could really put the sneak on her.
The last thing you want to wear when bee wrangling is anything black. Bees naturally go for anything black because bears noses are black and that's the only place a bee can sting them because of the bears heavy coat. That is why I was surprised to see dirt rooster wearing a shirt with black on it.
@@michaelwilkening8542 I was wondering why the bees are attracted to the color black. Thank you! for your comment explaining the reason, for those of us who didn't know. Much appreciated.
Randy just tell everyone you had a chemical peel done. That will explain it all. 😆
That' why I look 19 again.
Hes got the hive open we surrender!!!! Tinny white flag comes out!!! Haha
I asked for a hubby/wife duo cutout and the DirtRooster provided!
Loved it! Thanks, Randy.
We do what we can. :)
I found it interesting how they worked the hive all around and through the wiring for the box...great old place...love old houses
They had the whole house to go but made home amongst the electrical wires lol.🍺🍺
They wanted electricity in the hive.
@@carschmn like the rats of NIMH
Did i miss something. You did not say what happened to your face
It was neat that you got to spend some time with your queen while working on this removal.
That's always a plus.
Always enjoy it when you include the wife. She seems like a wonderful person that is beautiful both inside and out; I imagine she's the type of woman I had hoped to be married to when I did get married (went 0 for 2 in that department). Does she have any single sisters? Asking for a friend...
I appreciate you asking for me.
On President's day?
Sounds about right.
Edit: STILL can't find her bee suit?
Better get her a pink one with bunny ears on it so nobody takes it.
Wish I was a better seamstress. I'd want to make one & give it just to see the looks on the faces...
Take care of your face Randy. I’m living that dream/nightmare too
Great video brother! Loved that you got to spend the day with your wife! You’re a blessed man in many ways!
Great video, dont know bees but been in building trade all my life and I would recommend expanding foam for those caulking areas its quick and easy to use and not too expensive and you can get fire ratesd foam for the electric wire areas.
I can't believe you caught that queen like that. Its pretty cool that it was captured on video. Good stuff
That owl is not going to work. Raccoons are fearless.
I have scene Great Horned Owl that had over a 5 foot wing span that I would think would have no problem killing a good size Raccoon.
@@gullreefclub Man, I'd like to see that!!
Love how you and your wife interact!
You and JP The Beeman are the best two I've seen over several hundred videos at snaring those queens! Great job on that nab!
Love the cut-outs, and love to see them move into their new home (even if they are a bit testy about it).
Did you hear that sound in the camera at 22:07? It sounded like a ghost saying “wha ah ah” that didn’t sound like his wife, it sounded like a ghost
Yeah,what was that!? Definitely didn't sound like it came from the Mrs.,and didn't sound like it cane from the bee vac either 🤔
Oh Randy, don't take it personal., Mr Ed forgets all the time
Probably need to tell people your quote doesn’t include materials as different jobs need different things. I mean it’s kind of you to include repairs anyway, but you have to make a living!
Your making me nervous standing an a step stool in front of that electrical box with the cover removed
It was great seeing your wife with you! She seems really nice! So I was wondering what we should call her. Anything with rooster wouldn't be appropriate. "Dirt Hen" is a complete no go! I was thinking "Bee Queen"! She did catch the first queen of the season! Maybe she already has a title and I've missed it...
And I'm still hoping for some kind of food vlog. I spent a week in Slidell about 10 years ago at an IT Security Conference as Stennis and found some really good places to eat! It's unlikely I'll be back for that reason, but I would love to visit again!
Thanks for the video!
Your videos are addicting to watch. This is amazing dude.
"There we go, there's a bunch of 'em."
"A bunch of what?"
"....Bees."
I don't know why, but this cracked me up at 19:05.
Just found your channel. WOW 🤩 amazing work now I’m binge watching. I’m from Idaho I’ve heard some issues here about losing bees. Now paper wasps holy heck we have tons of those mean guys!!!
Thank you for fascinating content!! Learning a lot while being entertained 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👍👍👍👍👍
That was a wonderful video you guy's made right here, your expertise in dealing with the bees 🐝 and respect you took in dealing with the house was exceptional 👏
Thank you Nadine.
I must say I have to respect you as a man you do one hell of a good job I don't know how that you can do what you do and film it
Randy what FLIR model do you use, sir?
I use an older model FLIR One for ios.
Absolutely beautiful the way you took care of an elderly lady! Rare to see these days, such a diamond 💎 in the rough 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
You are so kind
I seen that video where you were talking about your face brother. Hey don’t worry about it. It don’t bother me none brother and hey to your wife to GOD BLESS you both Amen 🙏
Would you mind telling me what vid this was, love the dirtrooster and his bee keeping/hive removal videos.
you should look into battery nail gun it will save you from setting up your air compressor they work good and it's quick and easy
Would love for it to be 54 degrees! Just finished a week of highs around -8 deg F with lows around -14. These are the weeks I hope the stores my. Bees have will get them thru.
Fingers crossed!
I truly enjoyed watching several of your videos. I found it fascinating learning about what you do. Thanks.
Great video and great helper. I am always studying how the bees naturally make their nests in your videos. Thanks for posting.
I don’t think Hope would come help me like that lol. Hope y’all are doing good I know y’all got slammed yesterday with the storms. That looked like an all day job
She would. She could film and narrate from the truck.
Mr Rooster you done a great job along with the help of your lovley wife, It woulld have been more exciting wsith the helpp of Mr Ed. great video. Cold here in Alaska, warmed up to 15 today
We worked way past Mr. Ed's bed time.
What an awesome video. Great job Mrs. Dirt Rooster. Liked the footage of the construction aspects of hive removal. very interesting and educational. Cheers from NC.
Thank you very much!
That house is a time capsule.
Oh my gosh I cannot believe someone who have the nerve to be annoyed that you don’t have everything you need. My goodness, I am no beekeeper but I would think that EVERY job is different and why store all the supplies that you don’t need? Have they ever seen your truck 😂
Also, I believe that the Mrs needs a promotion to “Director of Operations”
Exactly! Any more equipment in my truck and I wouldn't fit. The Mrs. is already CEO of this operation. lol
I'm a Locomotive engineer, across the tracks from our yard is the largest non-commercial Locomotive works in the world. They had pigeon problems and so staged a bunch of owl decoys on the works building.
One day, I'm taking a set of engines off a track to go over to the next city west and shove a heavy train back over the hill (we call the jobs "helpers"). As my conductor and I are heading down the yard track to leave, we are passing a coal train on the adjacent track. Perched on one of the coal hoppers is an owl, just starting at us. I thought it was one of those decoys until we actually went passed it, and watched the feathers on its neck ruffle as it turned it's head to watch us go by. Clearances between two trains like that is somewhere between 16-24inches. That owl sat there as two 3,000hp diesel locomotives rumbled by, and only turned it's head to watch us.
Ha! Nerves of steel
@@628DirtRooster only just now finishing the video... You sir are a far braver man than I
Wise old owl knew it was just a couple of EMD's, nothing to be afraid of there.
Qween bee got the qween bee! Clip. Chomp. Done! The crowd goes WILD! Loved this one! She didn't let you say what happened to your face. Looks raw from contact with something or allegic reaction. Mine gets that way when my blood presure gets too high.
Enjoyed watching the two of you work together! That was some mean queen catching skills! Cracked me up, it’s in the 50s and you have 3 shirts on. We would be in t-shirts over here. 😂
She's a queen catching machine! I've got to work on my cold weather endurance training.
I really like how your respectful of the clients woodwork with time and patience!
.......this is the finest work we’ve seen by 628.....and an example of excellence and professionalism.....beautiful work by two Apiculturalist.....
As I'm sitting here waiting for warm March days it was nice to see a fresh bee video. Thanks!
BTW: What's your secret to getting the missis in the bee yard??
That catch of the queen was beautiful. You made it look so easy.
Do the bees ever chew thru electrical or cable wires or do they always build around them? Just curious.
I have had them unwittingly locked in after moving them 3 days later half lost to heat & exaustion they made a fair go at eating / chewing wood to get out they generally wouldn’t chew plastic coated wire if something is rough the will smooth it or glue with propolous a glue from sap chewed leaves , this is more so in the bee hives to stop the frames rocking if moved to other locations
Can you imagine of humans built homes with bees in mind, allowing the bees to insulate the house within the wall, using sound proofing so you can here the bees, plus totally sealed in so nothing can escape in to said house. Allow the bees to fill all, many many hives, then we find a way to get the bees to leave by taking tye queen's to allow the workers to follow, emptying the house if bees but leaving their amazing insulating honeycomb structures, or we could use the bees to collect honey, making that little extra for consumption as well as for sale, make a little on the side, then again wed all be doing it so, who to sell to, anyways, they'd keep you in Honey, as well as keep you home warm in Winter.
Who knows, one day peoples may actually think of this idea as a good one and use it.
You may be onto something. :)
Don't you know nothing carries a grudge better than a cold unhappy woman. Lol
I'm learning
Hahahha when ole Pete wears that bee suit and comes home with another womans perfume on it, gonna have some splaining to do.
Fantastic video Randy and Mrs. I had a swarm last spring that believe it or not I found the queen on the ground below the cluster and picked her up. Went to try to put her in a queen cage and she flew off, thought to myself well that’s that. Flew around my head about 3 times and I managed to pluck her out of the air. Still hard to believe how lucky that was.
That's skill bro.
No just luck, like my granddad use to say “ even a blind hog can find acorns every now and then” lol
Nice job, Mrs. Boss Lady should come along to more cut outs. We Elizabeth's are natural Queen Bees, haha.
You got that right!
Your title did not disappoint.. definitely not click bait.. I have no idea why I haven't seen this video before
I haven't watched this one in a while.
I have to wonder how many times over his bee-removal career has he been 🐝stung? Surely he's developed a immunity to their venom by now. 👌
Many thousands. I don't even know.
Boy that heater brings back memories!
Yep, for me too.
I’m very impressed. Not just a great removal job, but an excellent repair job. You certainly earn your dollar.
MAY GOD BLESS YOU AND YOUR WIFE, AND HELP YOU GET OVER YOUR MEDICAL ISSUES. MAY YOU HEAL ENTIRELY AND LIVE A HAPPY AND A LONG LIFE.
This is the first time I'm watching your video (s). It's interesting.
Just love watching you work….and I so enjoy your sweet wife.
Thanks so much Donett
Damn! Toughest queen catch I ever saw. Nobody can ever call the Rooster a quitter that's for sure! Great job.
The folks that DON'T produce content DON'T understand it! When you drive an hour or two away from your house to film a video, it makes filming that much more difficult.
I've had folks ask why I posted a video with music in places where the audio was corrupt. It was either waste that entire filming expedition, or patch er together & save what I could. It's not like I can go back next week, & everything is right where we left off, before filming. Re-filming ISN'T an option. Having supplies enough on hand.............well, we just never know what to expect. The best we can do is have a few things we know we'll need with us, & hope for the bestest.
Most people will never know some of what we deal with making these videos. It's still fun though and thankfully it's only a very small percentage of viewers who seem to have issues. It's funny how adding music is a guarantee of complaints, especially if it's anything but some type of country music. Any time I add R&B or new wave or anything not country I get the most complaints about my free to them content that took me two days to make.
What's up with the thumbs down? What's up with a guy making an honest living?! Keep it up 628DirtRooster!
Thumbs down amuse me. sometimes I get one or two within seconds of making a video public which means there are some people subscribed just to give thumbs down. I thank them for the views. :)
I wonder if some of them are mistakes? The rest are just stupid. Can’t fix stupid😂
Looks better after than before, nice work.
Was isolating the board not an option? Exposed bus bars always make me twitch, especially in older installs.
Always entertaining to watch your escapades! Shame on folks that criticize your supply runs. Oh well, it's part of it I am afraid.
Yes, got lots of Monday morning quarterbacks watching TH-cam. That's just part of it like you said.
Dang!!! How did you ever spot the queen!!
How many cutouts do you average per year.
You have the greatest wife
I am blessed.
This may be the best video I have made my way back to from today's date of 9/26/22! Your Wife is Beautiful in more than just one way! She supports who you are and what you do, you are a lucky Man, you found a jewel and I think you know it! You guys have the relationship I wish I could have found. Don't let a day of life go by without being thankful for it, small problems are just that, small problems.
She is an absolute treasure. We have 32 years together and it gets better all the time.
💯👍❤️🇺🇸
you're a nice guy, you don't even bat an eyelash when you see how big the hive is.
In NY everyone runs from one bee. I haven't seen any in 2 yrs
I see them daily. Nothing new in that wall. :)
Love that your better half is right in there helping ☺️that’s the way life should be
She's a good helper
What do you do with the bees after you finish the job? Do you keep them?
I keep about half. The rest I give away.
People who complain should just go away. This is an interesting, informative site.
I'm sure you made your pretty wife angry and she whooped ya.
That happens on a regular basis
If I didn’t know better, I wouldn’t think you had done anything. Nice job.
Randy, you could buy some couger scat, or maybe dog. I know when we had deer getting into our garden the game warden said to get some couger scat and put it around. You can get it at the natural garden center. We have a place called Down to Earth, and they sell it, or get some live traps :-)
We use live traps and I have some leg hold traps and snares I use when foxes come around going after the chickens.
That was a great removal. Elisabeth should be with you more often. She looks like she knows her way around. I hope your Dad is doing well too? God Bless, bee safe.
She's pretty good with construction projects.
I love watching your work. I heard you talking about running into hives wrapped around electrical wires and how careful you have to be when cutting . There is a knife on the market for cutting bagels. It is made from hardened plastic. Check in at your local walmart in the kitchen section.
Would someone please help explain why ANYONE would tap "Dislike" on any of The Dirt Rooster's videos?!?!? This should have extra likes just because Mrs. Rooster is there! Some people just do not have manners!
You are really knowledgeable! I’ve learned so much from watching your vids! Thank You for sharing this with us! What happened to your face?!
