Huge Bumblebee nest treatment! BUMBLEBEES ATTACK!!

Treatment of a huge nest of monster sized Bumblebees!

[@Deklectic]

I have never seen aggressive bumble bees before. The ones outside my yard are laid back and happy even when I go next to them they really don't pay me any attention maybe one or two will buzz around me curios but they are pretty docile and a best friend to my garden and flowers.. I LOVE bumble bees. Also have alot of bumble bee look alikes in my area wood bees that everyone gets confused with bumble bees but even those pollinate well especially my beloved tomatoes plants which I've never seen yield so much in one season with out having to manually pollinate, here in SW Virginia wild life thrives out here in and pollination is incredible.. I purposely plant things to feed and sustain pollinators like Bumble Bees with out them we would be screwed on food trust me.

[@shalomreardon6363]

Man I would have thought the same thing I've seen bumble bees to chill my entire life. Today while working I accidentally came across a bumblebee nest and got absolutely lit up. They chased me for a good $120 yards. Had absolutely no idea that could be that aggressive. I thought there was a loaners of the new world but damn if you go anywhere near the nest you're in for it

[@toxicdragon323]

No kidding. Those damned bumblebees were acting like hornets. You're lucky to have bumblebees. I have to deal with their evil-tempered cousins.

[@andrewsinclair7159]

Bumblebees are quite docile when they're out foraging, but they defend their nests forcefully like any other social hymenopteran. They have a bigger, more painful sting than a honeybee, and they can sting more than once.

[@andrewsinclair7159]

@ck ok Yeah, they've evolved to nest basically on the ground under a camouflage layer of vegetation, so jumping anyone who walks by would defeat the purpose of hiding. If you hung around for a few minutes poking at it, they'd start getting nervous and escalate to stinging and trying to chase you off. In this guy's case, the bees were definitely riled up before he started filming.

[@andrewsinclair7159]

​@ck ok Hi again, it just occurred to me that there are a lot of different species of bumblebee throughout North America with different temperaments. This one in the video is probably Bombus Impatiens, named so because it is the grumpiest little bumblebee in the world. They commonly nest in fields in the eastern US and react pretty violently to the presence of a riding mower.

[@mikeofborg2]

I’ve seen the nests relocated rather than destroyed. Could have tried that. Bumblebees are having a rough time at the moment with mites and disease. That looked like a very healthy and strong colony. Was sad to see you destroy it with their numbers being so reduced now. I keep honeybees myself and I would have relocated that colony to keep the genetics in the wild. That was probably the worst thing you could have done to destroy it. First off your chemical is going to kill other animals that eat the dead bees and larva or check out the dead hive. A little extra work and you could have vacuumed all the bees up. Removed the nest carefully into a box. Then relocated it a distance away and then release the bees near the new box. Takes more time but better for the bees and the environment. Next time I hope the owners call a beekeeper that will relocated them. And in some states they are protected on the state species of concern list.

[@sixstar2067]

These bees are being defensive, not aggressive. They're trying to protect their home from being destroyed. If some random person came along and started damaging and trying to destroy your house or apartment out of the blue, you'd be "aggressive" too. That said, bumblebees generally are known for having a much stronger defensive response to perceived threats to their colony than honey bees and even many wasp species. Because of their fuzzy cute look and because most people ever interact with or see one or a few at a time, usually away from the colony when the bees are foraging, they don't see the defensive behavior.

[@cyberia55]

LightYerPipe This is incorrect. There are multiple species of large black bees, and they do NOT all behave the same. Carpenter (wood boring) bees are typically the black bees that you see in small numbers zipping back and forth around your deck, your house or around picnic tables. Those you see flying at you are almost always males, which are incapable of stinging. They bluff in an effort to intimidate. The females are very docile, spending much of their time inside the tunnels being carved in the wood, while the males joust for territorial dominance. But what’s shown in this video are female bumblebee workers, which defend their underground nest aggressively, and will pursue and sting you multiple times. I hope you never assume incorrectly should you encounter numerous black bees exiting an underground nest. They will not extend the welcome mat. It is a shame to have to destroy them, but they do represent a significant health hazard in cases like this.

[@andrewsinclair7159]

Lot of misinformation in this post. Bumblebees are never solitary, and always build social colonies with workers and a queen, same as honeybees. Unlike honeybees, they can sting more than once due to their smooth, unbarbed stinger. Carpenter bees are solitary and harmless, and they look very similar to bumblebees, so you might be thinking of those. But this is an entirely different subfamily. The reason you haven't seen bumblebees be that aggressive is because you live in the UK and your most common species is Bombus Terrestris, which is a lovely little fuzzy kitten that you can gently pet with your fingertip. These in the video are likely Bombus Impatiens, which are native to the US and are very, very touchy by comparison.

If you mess with my house I would be aggressive to

[@chevyman1722]

Well I THOUGHT I was going to bed now I’m up smacking everything that touches me...only because I’m allergic to stings...man you had a cloud of those suckers after you...I do not envy your job one bit...I was stung by a bumble bee around 51 years ago I was only 4 and had to be rushed to the ER...I watch 5-6 different bee channels and I used to want to kill everything with a stinger but I learned that bee’s are our friend but those damn hornets and yellow jackets come from hell...thanks for doing these videos I do have to start watching them a little sooner rather then my bedtime...

[@carolholmes6352]

I’ve never seen an aggressive Bumble

[@kristicule1717]

Id like to see some more bumblebee videos 😊🐝 bzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

[@DavidfromMichigan]

WOW! You'd be helpless. Are there sprays you can carry that would at least give you some chance at getting away. Some old farmer on his tractor wouldn't make it but a couple steps huh? Absolutely frightening.

[@PestRemovalWarrior]

Amazing video. Love it

[@theangrytruckerchannel359]

Ive been attacked by them on a tractor, a SLOW tractor, 8 different nests on a 1 acre lot I was cleaning up, cost me a whole day but I got my revenge later that night when I got back from the gas station 🔥

[@thegastonsmediaworld1994]

Bumblebees only intend to get aggressive if their nest is provoked. After one sting, they immediately die after that.

[@Anonymous96833]

Wrong. As bumblebees have smooth stingers, they can sting repeatedly similar to wasps and hornets.

[@thegastonsmediaworld1994]

@@Anonymous96833your totally wrong.

[@Anonymous96833]

@@thegastonsmediaworld1994 Yes, I am totally right in saying that bumblebees can sting repeatedly as this is not based on false assumptions. See these references I got which supports my statements above: www.koppert.com/news-information/treatment-of-bumblebee-stings-and-allergies/#:~:text=The%20stinger%20of%20a%20bumblebee,is%20able%20to%20sting%20again. www.buzzaboutbees.net/do-bumble-bees-sting.html bumblebee.org/bodySting.htm So, how can you say that I am wrong? Did you do some research about that matter? If not, then I would suggest you should. Otherwise, you are just showing your ignorance to anyone.

Bumbleebees seem to have good memory. When I was a kid there were a lot of bumblebees on flowers In my neighbors yard. They never hurt anyone. But we started catching them in bottles and then releasing them back. One day I guess they finally had enough and started stinging my neighbor for no reason when she was in her yard doing nothing to them. NOTE: there was no nest, just liked the flowers I guess.

[@LightYerPipe]

Don't believe it.

[@johnlegion8796]

Oh there was a nest, you all just didnt notice it because it was underground.

[@marmal320]

Bombus Pensylvanicus. They're mean critters who don't like their nests disturbed!

[@bobbikuhn3496]

Those were super aggressive.. Did you get stung? They were focused on taking you out. Wow! I had no idea they were that bad.

[@arunicahom-choudhury1641]

Bumblebees scare me as they are big, fuzzy things and look aggressive, honeybees are slimmer and not as aggressive

[@willybee3056]

I knew of a German Shepherd dog that would chase a Bumble Bee, and be gone for hours. We thought that he was looking for the nest. When he came back, he didn’t look like he was stung up..

[@aspiecomputergeek9870]

That has to be the American Bumblebee. I've heard that they have a propensity towards being aggressive around their nests

[@keilagonzalez2649]

Wait so were these bubble bees killed?? They’re endangered.
