Hi Randy- Just a quick note of thanks for going the extra mile to share your journey on KZread. After watching hours of your content, along with Mr. Ed’s channel - you gave me the knowledge and confidence to do a removal yesterday that will go down in history as one of the toughest, most fulfilling things I have done. Crazy thing is- I have never kept bees, and started like this. I guess the hard way. :). But- I now have a massive colony of wild bees (that are still pretty mean) in my yard that I EARNED. Ha! I look forward to learning more and watching your channel. Have an amazing week- Gods blessings to you and your family. It’s clear you love your wife dearly, and she thinks you’re a little crazy. Which is probably true. Be well, brother.

The home owner was the best photo bomb ever had me laughing through the video.

Glad to see Planet Fitness is down there! Loving watching your backlog of videos. Wish I'd known a local beekeeper a couple years ago. I work in a hotel, and had a guest point out that we had something on the Bee-wasp spectrum up on our roofline. (This was a 6 story hotel. The guest only noticed because they were outside smoking.) I informed the head of maintainance, who freaked the everloving heck out and called an exterminator. When the general manager came in the next day he was not pleased. . . (We take ANY sort of insect penetration of the building very seriously. Our Bedbug protocol has us roast the entire room for 8 hours.)

Can't wait to get my first hive going, live in a neighborhood where every house has flowers in the garden or trees that bloom year round pretty much and I have only seen one bee in the last 6 months since the hive in my neighbors yard was removed. I'm going to bring bees back to my neighborhood ♥️

Hey Rooster, glad to see another video from you. Regarding thieves and scoundrels: what goes around comes around. I'm glad you were able to save the hive they damaged - and I suggest forgiving them, though my reason is not really as pure as it would sound. If you forgive them - that puts their fate in God's hands, and I do believe a lesson will follow. I tell myself I am not being bad - as it is clearly a lesson they require. Regarding the roof venue - I totally get it. But this was a great save, and considering where they were (in a chimney!) and where you had to go to save them - it certainly could have been a LOT worse. Did I mention, what goes around comes around... I think you will find these bees a special blessing. Regards to your family. Thanks for a great film job!

Far be from a armchair beekeeper to make suggestions so consider this a question might not it been easier to use a one of those cardboard nuke boxes (I mention using a cardboard nuke because it would be lighter to hump up and down the ladder or so I would think) with a some only comb in to try and get those bees to march into the box than to vacuum them up.

Hey just wanted to say hey and I really enjoy watching your videos. And I got some bees out of a chimney a while back. But I do have a question. I did a cut out under a house. The bees was very gentle and got them home put them in a 10 frame box. Kept them at my house they was doing good. But I moved them about 7 or 8 miles down the road to a buddy's house he has about 40 acres of good land. But when I moved them they become very very aggressive every time I would try to check them or anything they would seriously attack me all o have OS a face Vail and gloves to wear. But my question is what could have happened to make them act like that. Any possibility answers would help and what can I do to calm them down

I haven't experimented with that but heat will do the trick as well. Bees wax will melt around 145 degrees. If you build a hot box that gets to around 120 you can do the same thing almost without damaging combs.
