6 wasp nests, 1 day

This video was taken a few days ago at a conservation area here in Canterbury, NZ. While I recorded the removal of 6 nests, we actually collected 8 that day. The colonies need to be kept alive for use in a couple different research projects I'm currently working on. All of the nests were in an area about the size of a football pitch.

I'd love to know about your research projects!

To not bugbomb that nest is simply unforgivable

Have you tried expanding foam on a ground wasp nest?

You’re doing the lords work 🙏🏿

I'll let you in on a little secret, buddy: Wasps don't make honey, so you're wasting your time. Try to find some bees instead (the more orangy/bronish guys). You can thank me later.
