Let's all support him and watch the video again and the advertisements. I'm so sorry. Out of damage can come creativity. Mother nature gave you a new space without asking.

[@ambertracks]

Praise God ur ok. And He removed the hornet danger from ur path too. God is good all the time, amen.

[@johnkillen588]

give thanks to the Creator that you were not damaged.

[@cinnyminny4445]

Thank the Lord you are ok & you escaped mostly unscathed. Sorry about your truck and the downed bees & trees. Sending well wishes to you from Sunny CA!

[@davidhaught84]

Thanks so much I appreciate that.....

[@srae1503]

Wow, glad you ate ok

[@dannywalden457]

I'm glad you are ok Dave

[@kenjordan5164]

So sorry this happened to you David, Thank God no one was hurt. Things can be replaced.

[@lizrd4me2]

Glad you made it okay.

[@markbyrd7710]

Man, I hate that your property got messed up, but glad you're alright.

[@bradgoliphant]

Wow David. Thank God your ok. So sorry about all the destruction. And thank goodness it did not touch your home.

[@bbisyy4u]

I'm so glad you were not injured and your trailer was undamaged. Also note that you do not want to be stung by those. Not only is it extremely painful but the unbearable itching for the following week is a nightmare.

[@davidhaught84]

That would be horrible. Those things are huge.

[@sentimentalbloke7586]

Sorry to see the damage from the twister bud, and glad that you all are ok.

[@emilandrusko8597]

Wow! so sorry for all this damage. Glad you are safe.

[@candymanvending6024]

You got lucky to make it out without getting hurt.

[@hogkillerjp]

WOW, you were blessed to make it thru that 1,

[@andrewklahold2880]

Wow

[@BrianJMader54476]

Dam! 🌪️

[@Peekul1]

Glad you're safe. Close call.

[@gregmcmath-ov3zj]

OMG! Was RV anchored? Glad you are ok! That's going to be a lot of fire wood!😲

[@AmericansBee]

Terrible!!! Glad you're safe. Sorry for the loss

[@lee22822]

Glad to see you are ok 😉

[@rodneymiddleton9624]

They’re European Hornets. I have a nest in one of my swarm traps. I removed bees from a house that had 4 nests in it. Lots of cleanup. Thanks!!

[@graywolfnative1679]

Sorry, that happened to you. I love to watch your videos I learned a lot from you and 2 framers only been at this for 1 year, but I like it. thanks.

[@josephstephens1548]

Glad you are ok.

[@jackolantern404]

Careful what you wish for 😅 Jokes aside, hope you are all okay.

[@perrywhitledge4005]

WOW !!!!! Glad you’re okay!!!!!

[@user-kl6ej9zh2i]

Barnyard Bees bees are really nice bees. You can do almost anything with them during the day. During the dearth at night, don't do anything around them. They turn into Yellow Jackets. I have an entrance feeder with only water in it on my hives. I figured it would be a good idea to change out the water at night. Bad idea. I got hit like three times. Duh. 🤣

[@cluelessbeekeeping1322]

Glad you're okay!

[@tomsuelyblaisdell]

Glad you are doing ok. To get rid of hornets/wasps spray them with 50/50 water and dawn dish detergent. They will be dead is seconds

[@tomsuelyblaisdell]

The reason is they breathe through their bodies and this mixture suffocate them.

[@bzhoneyalanb8613]

OFFT!! American weather is wild. Glad your okay sorry about the truck. Thanks for sharing. Bees and hornets, the least of your worries

[@russellaymond312]

Glad to see you'll ok.

[@BobsBeeCompanyofSoCo]

Glad you all are OK.

[@brucesouthernsassapiaries8316]

David, So, sorry to see the damage you all experienced from the downed trees and hope that you all are safe! They are European Hornets and yes, they can be rough on honeybee colonies in the fall as they start to prey on beehives when their main food sources become scarce.

[@ponolovefarms3926]

Wow David glad you’re okay man! Gotta mess to clean up now!

[@zalmaflash]

I highly recommend using a tornado to fix the hornet problem. However, myself, I would have used spray foam which is cheaper than a tornado

[@billyjoejimbob1669]

Lmao! You found him! The man that makes the climate change!😂 seriously though. Im glad there's no injuries and unbelievably you still have a roof over your head. You sir have a cast iron constitution. Stay safe during the cleanup.

[@keithfaithful3989]

God works in mysterious ways.

[@budatkins5917]

glad yall are ok, but damn that sucks

[@robertcarden9013]

East Tennessee wingstem and goldenrod just starting. 26 July.

[@Peekul1]

That looks like German wasp. Giant Asian hornet is/was in Washington state in 2020. The Japanese have methods for controlling them.

[@lambbrookfarm4528]

Hello Dave, sorry about the storm damage, wow! Glad you're ok. I agree with Rodney, they are most likely European hornets, Vespa crabo. They are meat eaters. I've seen them take fresh spider's kill out of the spider's web. They will also eat honeybees, I have seen them take bees off the landing board, but I don't think I suffered major loses from them. I had a colony of them in a tree cavity about 500 ft from my bees. They are not in that tree this year, but I do see them occasionally. They occupy a different nest every year. Thanks for sharing and again, I'm glad you're ok

[@jkd0114]

Dang! This video is crazy! Thankful you are ok! We have European Hornets. They are a sum Bitc- to the honey bees! I’ve watched them attack bees right at the entrance. They grab them and fly off and devour them. Sorry about your camp. Looking forward to a follow up video…

[@eastsussexbeesandwildlife5801]

So sorry that happened, but glad you are ok, best wishes from your friends and viewers in the UK

[@stevenaamos]

Very glad that you are ok! Weird having one hit in the mountains.

[@highlandhoneybee]

Omgoodness! So thankful you're okay! It's amazing that it didn't get the camper (sorry about the truck). Looks like there's going to be a lot of cleanup. Stay safe out there.

[@dustinmcintosh6799]

thats absolutely amazing that your camper and especially your awning were untouched

[@user-rl5pg1qv2f]

I ve had that type of hornets catch some of my honey bees near the hive and carry them off , best to get rid of them

[@gerardjohnson2106]

WOW. That's crazy that you are calmly making a video then barely minutes later your struggling to survive a tornado. Good to see you safe and still able to video. But, that is totally wild. Thanks for sharing.

[@gclark2771]

Brother the good lord above was sure watching over you, wow you are blessed to be alive.

[@wipeoutxl21]

what about the god fearing people that died in that same tornado? Why did he let them die and not watch over them :(

[@krissybowles9832]

I have them too in a tree in our yard right by my bees and I have watched them attack my honeybees

[@petercooney8658]

Hi The videos that I’ve watched in Japan… they use a sticky mouse paper and they’ll keep landing on it if there’s someway you can put a bait ..

[@OZARKMEL]

OMGoodness, praying for you Dave. So sorry to se all the damage.

[@davidgeyer3988]

Wrap the part they enter with saran wrap and gas them

[@jimbeachboard3228]

Hang a light with a reflector over a bucket of soapy water. At night turn on the light and leave it on. Bucket will have dead hornets in the morning.

[@jeffrdnck7973]

Glad y’all ok, God is great!

[@Huntnlady7]

Spraying the hornets with Dawn dish soap will do away with those hornets. But God sends a tornado; WOW! glad you folks were unhurt. Sorry about the truck, lots of clean up.

[@rodneymiddleton9624]

First!!!

[@ralphjr7000]

They are grabbing bee's off the landing boards and the front of my hives and flying away with them, I can't find the nest and I don't know how to stop them, or if I even can.

[@BigMountainHoneybees]

This is in regards to your request for more information and not confirmation of the bees you are videoing. Happy beekeeping!

[@sentimentalbloke7586]

I just sprinkle some sulfur onto some paper toweling, damp from wood alcohol, roll it up and poke it into the nest and light it.

[@wrfarms9741]

David, sorry to see your forest land get damaged like that. Hope it looks worse than it really is.

[@chrishb7074]

Glad you’re okay after the storm. The ‘Japanese Natural Beekeeping’ YT channel has a lot of useful content about the japanese giant hornets with orange heads that are seriously aggressive bee predators.

[@jasonthomas111]

Sorry man

[@BigMountainHoneybees]

I apologize, they are named the Asian Giant Hornet.

[@anabelaramos8399]

Oh, yes they eat bees, I had one nest 3 years ago near my apiary, it wasn't too bad but they catch bees even when they are flying back home. I studied them a bit, they seem quite inteligent and social. They take care of the dying and sick when they are in a trap, I put several there. Even worse, they have meetings 😢 like a sort of a round table where they must be comunicating to each other trying to sort out their fate. Heart breaking, I am glad they went away and forgot about my bees.

[@JoeShannon-yl2gs]

Yikes, great that no one was injured by the storm. As a few have noted, they are European hornets. They are apparently the only "true" hornet in North America andhave beenaround a very long time. They built that nest for easy pickings of the bees in the nuc. We have a nest and it is in close proximity to our hives. I have seen them picking off our bees.They are very aggrressive and do attack artificial lights at night. We were attcked last night and I was stung on my right cheek and it still hurts. You can try applying "honey gel" around the opening.They will ingest it and then when they deficate inside the nest. That acts as a poison and will destroy the rest of the nest. Or call an exterminator as we did.

[@alanmiller7157]

Fire or seal them up with spray foam

[@insideoutsideupsidedown2218]

Raid, foam edition

[@BackFortyFarm]

Yes those hornets will kill your honey bees. I have watched them fly in front of my hive and pick my bees off one at a time. It was sad to see.

[@edarrd]

European hornets. In my country they're protected by the law. Best option is to trap the queen in early spring. If she manages to build a nest, you will have 200-500 hornets by the end of July.

[@DoubleTopHoneyCo]

why? they have no purpose.

[@angelad.8944]

@@DoubleTopHoneyCo Hornets are predators that control other populations of insects. Without hornets, insects like spiders, caterpillars, flies, crane flies and beetles would breed out of control and become a greater nuisance. Hornets control the populations of these pests by eating them. Hornets also pollinate flowers. That all being said, I completely understand the need to eradicate them from an area that is too close to people. I saw them a couple falls back raiding my compost bins. I had not seen them ever previous to that and not since.

[@barry552010]

Those are European hornets, usually they're very gentle. And you won't see him going after honeybees

[@cluelessbeekeeping1322]

Too bad you didn't catch the tornado on video.

[@cluelessbeekeeping1322]

Is that a European Hornet's nest?

[@chicken6946]

I have a question about some honey bees. The navy base wants me to remove some bees out of a protected oak tree.the thing is the opening is about 15inches long and about 2-3 inches wide.the thing is i know i can put a box up there and make a screen cone going up through the bottom of the box preventing them from getting back in the tree.the thing is i didn't want to move them right now because i think its too late in the season unless i get them and put feed to them,but if i did get them before the base pack and seal the tree how can i make sure i get the queen out the tree even though im sure the hive has eggs and larve in it

[@user-re1el3ie7u]

They will attack the honey bees

[@spunkysparks1779]

Where is this?

[@tjjastrem127]

European hornets

[@rustyperdieu1264]

I have these hornets on my property as well. I was checking our hive mid-day just before these storms and noticed 2 of these hornets attacking the bees that were outside cooling the hive. The hornets would catch a bee, fly away, eat the bee it caught, and then come back for more. I did manage to get a video of one eating a bee when it landed close enough in a tree nearby with it's catch. I can send you the video if you'd like? I managed to kill both hornets, but not sure how many of the bees they were able to kill. The hive seems to be doing okay though.

[@Ton57K]

These are not Japanese hornets. They are European hornets. I call them "the great frienly giant" and they are a protected species in Europe. The kind that kills beehives are the Asian hornets (introduced in Europe 15 years ago.

[@michaelshelnutt3534]

Those are European hornets. They will snatch a bee like the bald face hornet, and dragonfly. The Asian hornet kill the honeybees by the hive. They had some in Washington state, but have successfully eradicated them.

[@user-re1el3ie7u]

Those are European hornets. Not Japanese.

[@johnc7512]

I'm glad.

[@petercooney8658]

Look this up on you tube.. “ Capturing Japanese giant hornets with a glue sheet”

[@kathyhathaway8823]

David those yellow jackets an hornet will go to the traps that you showed us how to make a year or so . I use the blood packs that comes in steaks , hamburgers, chicken with sugar syrup an apple sider vinegar in a drink bottle an here in NC all those types of wasp , hornets, yellow jackets do eat my bees an that is odd you putting out this video because that’s was my plans for today after I do my inspection was to set out my traps . Wow what luck you had with that storm my heart goes out for you all . Be safe . THANKS

[@joycemclean3894]

Yes they destroy honey bees, call your agricultural agent surely they know.

[@periplanetamissionary]

I hope you leave the European giant hornets alone, they are typically gentle giants, and no those aren't from Japan, these are (Vespa crabro) The Japanese one is Vespa mandarinia japonica and yes those ones do wipe out hives. And they are not in your video

[@BigMountainHoneybees]

Asian Hornets aka Murder Hornets and they are in Northern Washington State and Canada, I believe. I live in Washington. They are not in Central Wahington yet and we are trapping and tracking like mad in my state for these Asian Hornets. Hopefully we can eradicate them before they spread! I don't have hive beetles but we have these! And normal bee suits will not stop them from getting you and they are about an inch to 1.5 inch in length. See agr.wa.gov/hornets

[@Peter_Gunn]

Glad you are ok.

[@shanebfpv9085]

European hornets
