[@jhagestad]

What’s interesting to me is how un-swarm-like the hornets’ reaction was to the hive breach. Maybe it’s because the hornets are so large they look slow as compared to other hornets but it just looked like they were just flying around with a few attacking the two workers. I was expecting the two workers to be covered head to toe in hornets trying to sting them. Just a casual observation.

[@ethanreynolds4942]

I was thinking the same thing. Maybe it's how the hornets and wasps operate in the US. Here you mess with the hive you better get ready for a shirt made of wasps.

[@ZimCrusher]

Its standard for hornet and bee removal. You can not catch all of them at the entrance. there is a skill to it, you have to always keep the opening facing forward. With a nest that big, it would be nice to have some sort of machine do the swinging. There was another guy who had a safer way of doing it. he used a sticky mouse trap, opened it up like a book, and placed one caught hornet on it. The hornet will release distress fermones, and others will come to help, getting stuck, and the more hornets stuck, the stronger the call.

[@desertegle40cal]

@@ZimCrusher Yeah actually the sticky mouse trap is a staple in Japan to catch these guys. I am a beekeeper and I have been watching these videos for decades now. When I was a young boy here in Florida, I was mudding with my buddies out in the Forrest one day and our truck was riding down an old trail and all of a sudden our truck collapsed where there should have been a friggin road. We found out almost instantly what it was. The very dangerous and prolific southern yellow jacket. Which is a type of subterranean social hornet we got here in the southern United States. They are able to make some record breaking hives and actually have here in Florida. You see when a honey bee colony gets too big, the colony will lay a new queen and the hive with swarm (split once the new queen is born) and then half the hive will fly off in search of a new place to build their hive for their colony. Bee hives can only get so big before they have to do this. It has to do with all the pollen and nectar they need to sustain their colony, so they split to keep things efficient. But hornets are almost strictly meat eaters. yes they do eat pollen and nectar but its few and far between. They rather hunt down other insects and whatnot. But because they have no need for storing pollen or honey, they can just keep making queens and expanding their hive. In one hive in Ocala here in Florida, the southern yellow jacket swallowed an entire VW Bug and when they exterminated it because it was in a hiking area, they found there was something like 200 queens in the hive. So back to my story. We were driving a old 87 Toyota 4x4. But we unlocked our four wheel drive hubs on the front tires once we got back to the road. Which was a mistake because like 5 minutes later our truck falls into a huge pit that had no signs of anything on the outside so our truck just literally collapsed into a hole. The hornets swarmed (in this case swarming means they all attacked a single target) our truck to the point they blocked the sunlight. Imagine what that would be like for three teenagers at 14, 15, and 16. There were three of us in the cab. We were stuck in that truck for over two hours before someone came to find us, called the cops, the EMTs, the fire department (yes they actually brought a fire truck thinking they had to spray the hornets off us. Channel 5 even brought their chopper out and got video of us once we were pulled out cause they couldn’t see us on the road because of the canopy made by the trees. They even called a bee keeper/exterminator that came in just a bee veil and jean pants. He looked at us and looked at the cops and shrugged his shoulders and i saw him mouth “What do you want me to do? I am not prepared for something this violent!” So the EMTs the cops and the firemen all stood like 40 yards away from the truck staring at us and trying to figure out how to rescue the three of us stuck in the cab. Finally, one of the step mothers of a kid who was in there with us showed up. She was an aerobics instructor and she was in a sports bra and those stretchy workout pants. She got pissed and started smacking the cops and firemen screaming at them telling them they aint men! I never saw a mother get so pissed off. And she was only my buddies step mother. It was funny. She then grabbed the nylon snatch strap from the firemen they tried hooking onto us to pull us out but even in their fire suits were no match for the hornets. So what does this woman do? Wearing only skin tight workout clothing she runs into the middle of the swarm and hooks the strap up to our bumper, runs back to her truck and wraps it around her bumper (still getting stung like hundreds of times) and she pulled us out! And get this, when she was done, she looked like someone pelted her with a paintball gun all damn day or something. I was 15 then, im 41 now. And i will never forget it. The only people who didn’t get stung that day was the three of us in the truck. Everyone else got stung. That traumatized me for a good many years. I was terrified of flying stinking insects after that. Even bees. Till one day my father told me that to get over a fear of something, you must learn more about it. For most of our fears are routed into things we don’t know about or understand. So I became a beekeeper and never looked back.. Now i assist in removals of hornets and do live removals of bees. I watch videos like this all the time and one of the main ways Japanese folks catch hornets that are stalking their hives is to put down that sticky mouse trap book. Then once a hornet gets caught, they immediately release emergency pheromones that draw other hornets there to help. They will land to try and help out their buddy and get stuck too. Then those hornets will release the same pheromone a draw other hornets to the same place and the cycle repeats until the hunting party of hornets is destroyed. Sometimes they catch one or two of them and hook flags up to them like this video did and track them back to their hives so they can destroy them.

@@hal64738 Both hornets and the nests are materials for making traditional Chinese medicine , the nest (with pupas) worth about $40 a kilo in my hometown, it's a good income for local farmers

[@unReal85Again]

​@@KuCoXiOut of interest, what are the medicines made from wasp pupa used for?

[@BigChungus-zg6zw]

Ironically the native japanese bees can deal with the hornets by a bizarre method where they cover the hornets with their own bodies and then create so much friction they cook the hornet alive. Look it up. You won't believe it til you see it. The european honey bees are the ones who have entire hives wiped out by a handful of hornets.

I find the lack of fire in this video disturbing...

[@elarr8733]

Does anybody know what that structure was supposed to be? Almost looked like a giant honey bee hive with racks for honey combs that got taken over.

[@Devonhoneyandcandles]

yes its like a bee hive but set out horizontally, the hornets made it be chowing up wood which then turns into pulp, then they build the nest with it.

[@derricks2504]

What is the PPE made out of?

[@T0tenkampf]

yeah I want those gloves

[@fritzdow4819]

The nest with the net over it looks like a forbidden mattress

[@dylanconnelly9845]

I don't give a shit how safe those suits are I ain't going anywhere a near a nest especially a nest that big

[@captainredpill1782]

In an aesthetic sense, that humongous nest looked a stack of oatmeal cookies covered with a white sugary frosting. Full grown hornets removed, I'm sure a large flock of their chickens would feast on it for an entire day.

[@mammi7699]

Yes!

[@WRT2004]

All that hard work of months goes up in flames in minutes

[@wmdjohnson]

And the hornets lived happily ever after with these guys , the end 🔚 😅
