Yellow Jacket and Bald Faced Hornets HUGE Nest Relocation Macro Shots Wasp Nest Removals

This video is a collection of 2 separate removal and relocations; One of a yellow jacket nest and one of a bald faced hornet nest (Yellow Jacket technically). Then to finish off the video, I zoom in super close on some beautiful wasps for some candid macro shots of the wasps making wood pulp in their mandibles! Awesome!

You should gather colored wood next season and see if the wasps can make a rainbow nest.

[@kimberlyWestfall1]

YES!

[@bluegloriousgames]

Yeeeee

[@designworksdw1949]

Why use wood? Just throw out some colored construction paper near their nests. I bet that would work out great as well.

[@davidhoward913]

Some 40 years ago I milked cows in an old barn, windows wide open in the summer and cow manure all about. The manure attracted flies innumerable, and the flies attracted hornets. The hornets would zip about and capture flies, holding some as they hunted, but would occasionally stop and snack. Great animals--great videos.

[@Dannos100]

you should get a heat camera to monitor the temperature of the nest and see how active it is. love to see that!

I am so, so glad I found your channel a couple of weeks ago. I have been telling some of my family members and friends about it. Actually, I think I am driving them nuts with my enthusiasm telling them about your Channel. However, we have been having some great conversations about why Wasps and Hornets exist and I have been able to educate them a little because of what I have learned from you. I am actually beginnning to love and appreciate these little stingers! Wasps terrify me .. or used to. I went out for lunch to an English Pub in Lancashire a week ago and they had a Wasp problem. There was a notice on the door as we walked in informing us about the Wasp invasion. This pub has amazing views of the Ribble Valley and they have a seating area outside. Desite the Wasps, being as it was such a beautiful day, which is rare in the UK, we went and sat outside. The Wasps were everywhere, just going about their business, but I was hardly phased by them. I used to run around flapping my arms screaming like a lunatic if one came near me (much like Angel did a few videos ago hahaha!), but I was actually quite calm watching them because I understand them much more now. Just to add, nobody got stung, at least for the four hours that we were there anyway, and the pub was busy that day. I have been sending my friends and family members a link to your channel so I hope they subscribe. I appreciate all your hard work bringing these amazing, amazing videos to us. Thank you!
