Bald Faced Hornets launch WWIII as their nest is destroyed

Bald Faced Hornets are not known for being polite. This nest was found near a side walk and they were stinging passers by. They did not welcome The Bee Man and attacked as the nest was destroyed. All who were outside the nest later returned and died

A fly landed on me while watching this and I jumped out of my seat

[@kenhoughton2594]

I absolutely, genuinely, sincerely cannot fathom someone, even in protective gear, doing what you are doing here.

[@soxrule74]

I was attacked by those bastards last year, not knowing where they came from. Once I found their nest in the pine tree next to my house, I used my car the way Marines launch an amphibious attack.. I drove my car over the curb, onto the grass, cracked open the drivers window, and unleashed hell with a wasp killer spray that shoots the stream of death. It was a great victory for me that day.

I hate these things with a passion. When I was a kid, a buddy of mine and myself accidentally disturbed a nest that we were completely unaware of, and by the time we realized what was going on, we were covered from head to toe by these evil monsters. I mean, it was like a horror movie that was really happening. They were in my shorts, in my hair, in my ears...it was horrifying. Ever since then, I've had an unreasonable fear of them and thoroughly enjoy watching them die! Honestly, they are good for nothing and life would be ok if they all disappeared forever. Your a brave man!! Thanks for posting.

[@yendolyn1203]

The perks of having a phobia of wasps (and insects): (I mean idek if I have a phobia but wotever) 1.Eating outside in hot or warm weather is deadly, wasps always come to you instead of your dad who isn't scared of them. I just squeeze my eyes shut as if I'm hiding from a clown or idek. 2.When you hear any buzzing sound your first instinct is to leg it to the nearest parent or your house. 3.Spring is a feared time of year since they start flying around for the next 6 months or so. 4.Flowers-i stay away and I am terrified of them. 5.Screaming. 6. as soon as you step outside:brain aware of wasps and bees mode. 7.When you fear wearing flowery things because your childhood self ran away from a bee chasing her because she heard the deadly buzz and panicked. The end of my useless list I made because I was bored.

[@SignificantPressure100]

Were u bitten by a wasp before?

[@lunarangellic994]

dont forget the freeze up in terror mode when one lands on you

[@elsden722]

Lol this is very accurate. I'm terrified of wasps but weirdly I don't mind bees. I think it's because I know that bees are docile creatures and wasps are horrible little bastards

[@lt.frankdrebin3317]

We had Hornets build a nest in our upper garage door corner. We learned that they were attracted to light at night and we were stung a couple times, but we let them go. As of a couple weeks ago, I'm actually sad to see them go off and die and/or hibernate. We were able to walk right under their nest with no problem. Usually, a clumsy one would fly into you and you wouldn't even know it was a hornet. But anyway, is Winter a good time to safely remove a nest? I started removing layers, but I can still see some hornets remaining (although docile).

[@sixhundred3score6]

Nighttime and temps below 50 are best for removal I have learned over time from this guy.

[@djnone8137]

They are carnivorous and are the most aggressive wasp. Should one be agitated they can send the entire colony to blitz you with a purpose You will probably die

[@lombremic4840]

Do they regroup and build a new nest somewhere else or do they die in the disorganization?

[@TheBeeMan]

Their instinct is to rebuild. I leave a pesticide residue at the end to get them when they return

[@donnarichey144]

I would do at night when they are all in there. That is crazy.

[@emery254]

I just read the answer to my question . Thanks

[@joeybarrelwilde]

Will you ever do a video using only a vacuum? To do something a little different?

[@TheBeeMan]

Since I do this as a pro I really can't do that unfortunately. It's something others do to increase the run time on videos and to avoid using pesticides on camera. I have to schedule 20-30 of these a day so I can't take the 45 minutes to do a vacuum since you just have to use pesticides at the end anyways. If I get one off of peak season I may but they're only this size during peak

[@mikekernan5388]

@@TheBeeMan even 20 per day is incredible! Glad there area people out there willing and able to do this sort of work. I'd be (bee?) one of those guys throwing something at the nest and running like crazy as I get stung bunches of times. Thank you for sharing. Mike

[@justin456]

I have a different strategy, I soak the nest in Suspend or Cy-Kick at the highest concentration wait a few minutes than drop the nest with a paint scraper attached to a 30' pole. Only time the bee suit gets put on is indoors for large nests.

[@TheBeeMan]

That's definitely a good way to do it. When im not doing videos I do more of a distance

[@feleciadavis4557]

Exactly, I not using no dust. I go at night around 10:00, your my power spray, semi-stream and put that chemical to their azz! I keep that spray going until that nest is torn to pieces!

[@Sionnach1601]

[@Essays4College]

I'm still trying to find out how paper can suspend or attach to a house like that!

The sugars in their saliva helps out with that; also, when paper is made, while it’s still wet and tacky, will stick to certain surface textures as it dries.

[@aggienodari453]

My son and I dispose these nest all the time. Maybe not this method, it's more like knocking them off and lighting them on fire. In the end of the day, they're dead and we have to indure a couple stings. I find a yellow jacket sting to be more painful.

Their instinct is to return to the nest. I left the coating of pesticide behind so that they get into it upon return. The ones that flew out at the start had pesticide on them. They died within minutes. I always clear the area for the appropriate amount of time
