[@WWEdeadman]

Had a nest of those next to the area where we eat when we barbecue in summer a few years ago. They literally didn't give a fuck that we were right next to their nest, and not a single time did they become aggressive. Probably the most chill wasp species on the planet. We also couldn't get rid of them until winter, cause they're under nature protection here in Austria. So we had the nest removed once it was empty cause the workers died off, since only the queens go into a winter stasis. Also, I feel like that queen didn't have as much venom as regular workers. The reaction on your arm is hardly noticable, compared to other stings of European Hornets I've seen. Either way, I love all sting videos, so whatever you can get your hands on, I'd be interested in seeing.

[@emilybrackett2840]

I had one fly in my shirt last summer and pop me about 4 times in my right shoulder. The pain was gone after about a half hour from the initial sting. It locked my shoulder up after about an hour and my shoulder was barely functional till about 16-18 hours later. It's the same shoulder I had re-constructive surgery on back in 2006, Keep up the great content.

Jack is much more real in his show and relates to both kids and adults who want the real deal reaction. Adults just need to know to take coyote with a grain of salt because hes not meant for educational purposes as much as entertainment.

This is a wildly under appreciated video, for such an objective and scientific approach to the European Hornet. No drama at all

[@Goldenhawk583]

Late, but.. this is not The Asian giant hornet (Vespa mandarinia) , but, like the title says, EUROPEAN HORNET: Vespa crabro

[@Niklo74]

Here in Bavaria we have the European Hornets, too. Today they are protected in Germany. I often see them but they are normally relatively calm and not aggressive maybe similar like bumble bees. Only in the area of their nest they could get be aggressive. Here in Germany Hornets are very welcome as they hunt the more aggressice yellow jackets. With the European hornet in the garden you could eat cakes, pies, ice cream without beeing disturbed by wasps...

[@Niklo74]

In the German Wikipedia a sting by the European hornet (Vespa crapro) is on Schmidt sting index 2 (on another page between 2 and 3). That's similar to honey bees or yellow jackets. I guess it also depends how long the stinger sticks in and pumps venum into the *victim*. The bald faced hornet is in the English wiki on Schmidt sting pain index 2, too (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schmidt_sting_pain_index#Pain_Level_2 ). Personally I got stung only by honey bees and German yellow jackets (or similar wasps) so I have no experience with the stings of hornets because the European Hornets rarely stings....

[@paulmerviel1617]

In France at least, they're close to being an endangered species due to being outcompeted by the invasive Asian hornet (Vespa velutina), with which we have been having serious problems since about 2003. This species notoriously makes its nests close to homes, leading to dangerous encounters, and it's also decemating local bee populations.

[@Younce_Davies]

Any enemy of the yellow jacket is a friend of mine.

[@dubstepandvideogames]

This man said it doesn’t hurt that bad *2 minutes later* “painful pain”

[@NatureIsAwesomeGermany]

Very nice to see one of the insects which are native in my country (Germany). I have never seen a queen, but we had some of the smaller ones (warriors?) in our garden a few weeks ago. I usually feel very uncomfortable around certain wasp species, but our hornets are pretty chill and they let you know if you get too close. I really like having them around and watching them while their minding their own buisness :).

[@MegaKat]

Warriors is close! We call them soldiers!

[@emilybrackett2840]

That's fantastic. Now I respect hymenopteran's too. I'm chill when yellow jackets fly in, and the same with any hymenopteran.

[@Younce_Davies]

We have cicada killers in Ohio that are pretty chill. The males are super territorial but are all bark no bite. They don't even have venom, only the females have venom.

[@magnetwhisperer]

I have to wonder if it’s really best to use queens for these sting tests... I think it’s possible that the lady hornets who go out and about have more potent venom, since they’ll be the most likely to come across threats. Queens are queens, and therefore are protected by the hive and perhaps don’t need such potent venom. Just something to consider. Regardless of that, thanks for your dedication! You come across as pretty honest and not flashy or showy. Love it.

[@bryan_wofford]

Yesterday, I caught the first one I've ever seen of these on my window screen in October-chilly West Virginia. It's so large that as a layman I initially thought I'd found an Asian giant hornet. After researching I quickly identified its unique stripes as a European. I knew I could depend on you to deliver the sting goods! Likewise, I've been lit-up by yellow jackets and thought that due to its large size it would be far worse. Good to know it isn't. Afterward I released it on a log outdoors where it dropped off and took to burrowing underground instead. Thanks again, Jack. You're by far my favorite authority on insects. Keep bringing them, partner. I'll be tuned.♥

If one enters your house, it is very unlikely to sting you unless you really provoke it (like hit it or something) As he said; it is not as bad as you think.

I'm so afraid you'll get anaphylactic shock. Although Danny accidentally taught me you have to get stung repetitively to get anaphylactic shock?

[@sebastijanglozinic8630]

I got stung by one of those today while i was cleaning my car in the yard. Its a very sharp pain that starts a little after the actual sting. But other then that, it is not as bad as one would expect by just looking at them. They look pretty scary because they are big and loud when they fly around.

[@heatherm2324]

Hi, I am just watching this video today. I have a question. Do these wasps not eat and totally destroy bee colonies?

[@keithm5378]

I'm rather surprised this sting was as mild as it is. If nothing else? I figured due to the sheer size, the European hornets would have a higher venom yield, leading to a larger dose injected, and therefore causing more pain. But hey, thanks for doing the test! My father got stung by what we suspect to be a young European hornet at like 4:30 in the morning when he was going to work. The insect that he killed after being stung, after taking a look at it? I'm not sure if it was a young Crabro or a really, really big Vespula. But wasps aren't normally active at night, while European Hornets are famous for it. His reaction was somewhat similar, just a little worse. When he realized he'd been stung, he let out a string of profanity for about fifteen seconds (understandable! lol), said it burned like hell, he told me it was worse than the red paper wasps you see flying around here (Polistes Carolina). But what was interesting about his reaction? Is that he got really lightheaded, almost to the point of feeling like he was going to faint. But this subsided within about 10 minutes, it left a nasty welt on his shoulder that swelled up pretty good (the insect was in a shirt, a shirt he was putting on to go to work, ans he didn't realize there was a wasp/hornet in there and it nailed him near his shoulder..ouch!), no dramatic rolling around or any of that BS lol. You could always try out Polistes Major if you're feeling brave, another KZbinr I know took a sting from one and said it was really really unpleasant. If you're ever in Vietnam, Taiwan or Hong Kong (obviously, the latter is not really advisable to travel to right now!), There's an obscure, but extremely impressive and intimidating species of Polistes called Polistes Gigas, they are the largest species of Polistes in the world!, even exceeding P. Carnifex. The females can get up to 38mm in length, and their sting is reported to be excruciatingly painful. Oddly, the males get even bigger and can exceed 50mm in length! If that wasn't enough? They've also got huge sickle shaped mandibles that are enough to draw blood and cut you good, even if males can not sting you. I posted a link for my source on this interesting, and massive, Polistes species if you'd want to read about it. Look forward to seeing more videos from you in the future! vespa-bicolor.net/main/vespid/polistes-gigas.htm

I had some nesting under the siding about five feet from my back door. I was unintentionally shaking their nest whenever I closed the back door, essentially. They just flew around. It was early in the season, though, and they eventually relocated when I started using the attic fan (big fan, sucks in outdoor air and through gaps in walls, blows it out the attic space, shakes the whole house, which some critters don't like). I'm terrified of anything large that buzzes and even I think they were pretty chill.

Lol they won’t target eyes or specific body parts, in fact these species are usually uninterested in attack humans in any capacity and will only sting if they feel their lives or nests are in danger. It’s a painful sting but more than bearable.

How about Vespa luctuosa? The most toxic hornet sting (and among the most toxic among insect venoms) in terms of LD50, though moderated by it being smaller than Vespa mandarinia and Vespa tropica?
