YELLOW JACKET SUPERNEST! 10,000 Wasps In My Barn Wall! Wasp Nest Removal

This German Yellow Jacket (Vespula germanica-anthic) Nest was growing inside my barn wall all season. I was watching the activity throughout the summer, but unfortunately, they were making their way into the barn apartment and sying around the windows, and with guests coming to stay in the apartment, the yellow jackets had to go!
I estimate this SUPERNEST colony had over 10,000 yellow jackets in it! Thats a BOOMING colony!

Seeing a wasp nest removal on your own property is something we never got to see. Is this the first time this has ever happened before?

[@timthelittlemusicfox]

I'm wondering this too!

[@sheenab1927]

Right! Doesn’t he usually relocate to his property 😅

[@AC3handle]

I gotta wonder if he does stuff to keep the observed/relocated nests in check so they don't become supernests.

[@rayrooney4656]

If you keep nests around you don't be surprised they spread. Don't start collecting roaches or bedbugs...

[@struex610]

Im surprised he didn't keep any queens

[@REXOB9]

I think the hornets were trying to get revenge for all the nests you've removed over time. Great video, thanks

[@everydayjay2366]

lol they like hornet king let go to his house and plant a nest in his barn

[@nthgth]

Ironically, building the nest right in the HK's own place was almost a very good move for them - he was content to let them be, until he planned to use the building as a guest house.

[@Beauty-and-the-Dia-betes]

You know it's going to be a great nest removal when Hornet King has to remove it from his own property. I'm always amazed how docile German yellowjackets are, and how large they build their nests. Your pets really did get super fresh nest from their very own nest!!

[@iamdarkyoshi]

Side note, have you considered picking up a thermal camera to try to see where the wasps are? I picked up a P2 pro a while ago and I can clearly see where they missed some insulation in my walls and ceiling, might be an interesting tool for wasp removal. They've really dropped in price and they're way more capable than they used to be.

[@pastelroswell]

That would be so cool!

[@videogamesarecool9280]

you can pretty easily hear what part of the wall they're in, destroying the wrong wall doesn't seem like its been a problem he's encountered before. and the wasp themselves most likely would not show up because they're cold blooded.

[@FriendlyKat]

They couldn't have picked a worse place to build! Little did they know where they were building! Awesome video, Hornet King! Truly awesome! Thanks for all the super cool info too!

[@nthgth]

He almost wasn't even gonna kill them! It's only because he had guests coming to stay in the building. Pretty ironic that that was _almost_ a really good place to build lol

[@arneb3818]

Ah! That satisfying “CRUNCH” of layers of comb being separated! ☺️

[@asfanshirim9769]

What's nice about Rhea-the-Rhea is that she is doing the wasp tweezing for you (dropping and not eating many). I think the chickens get to eat more than her :)

[@private8394]

From chickens and squirrely squirrel, to now emus. You are a man of many many talents!

[@JimAllen-Persona]

I havent seen squirrel around recently.

[@BroomTails]

I love the way you talk to your birds 😂

[@stellakalivas2302]

I love at the end when you show all your sweet Birdies. Your channel is the best.

[@dgonsoulin]

I don't know why, but I find it relaxing to watch your videos, beginning to end. Same with JB mowing videos. It's like therapy! 😳🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝

[@beawriting]

Same! I love the mowing channel. I watch refinishing channels too!

[@treehuggingbuddhist]

I’m imagining the conversation…Mrs Hornet Queen, “honey, we have a huge wasp nest in the barn wall, can you remove it?” Mr. Hornet King, “aw shucks hon, it’s my day off!” 😂❤

[@jenihansen7201]

Oh my gosh. I have much respect for you doing this kind of job, cuz I NEVER could.

[@kevintennant7701]

Much like the bunnies in my neighbourhood always picking my yard to rest and eat because I have such nice grass. The hornets in your neignbourhood decided to build because you left them a nice wall cavity with an easy entrance! Informative, interesting and educational as all your videos are. Thanks!

[@nkhazov]

You read my mind again on having me hear the buzzing and swarming of the German yellow jackets awesome to hear. Best regards Nikita.K

[@pepeford8021]

I get goosebumps watching these but its so addicting. Please never stop posting vids.

[@iDorktheline2]

The sound on this video literally had me swatting my ears. 😮

[@nthgth]

A different kind of headphone warning is warranted lol

[@alifloydtv]

Still not as upsetting as those ASMR videos 😅

[@jerrys1375]

Doris is a very nice birdy.She has manners and respects her fellow birdys.

[@jefferypitts343]

Sharing the spoils with your feathered friends is awesome, you have the coolest job ever!

[@cathywilliams7336]

Awesome job. I don know why but I love watching this stuff. Keep up with the great videos.

[@raybates3119]

It's amazing how they chew wood and make the paper envelope. Nature is truly spectacular!

[@richarddennis3793]

yes then they make a make a perfect hexagon over and over

[@jstbtwnume9110]

The company coming says, “Nah, maybe next year.” lol. Sometimes I have to go back and watch the birdies’ baby videos.😊

[@HornetKingOfficial]

I wish! I hate having company 😆

[@meghan143x]

What a beautiful nest... I can't help but admire the craftmanship of wasps

[@BPSpigley]

I've learned the hard way not to watch these videos at night with my headphones. Had me ducking and dodging thinking I was right there with him.

[@tommychew6544]

Glad you knew they were there and took them out before they had a chance to slim and ruin the space inside that wall cavity as you have shown they will do as they die out each year. Thanks for teaching me things I didn't know; most people think Hornets are like honeybees, I think. I have an area that I put venting into at my shop that I'm going to have to checkout knowing what I've learned from you. I know I have some hornets somewhere very nearby and, I hope it's not there.

[@Padgriffin]

Those birds were having an all you can eat buffet with those nests

[@betteludwig2593]

How long did it take for that nest to get that big? By the way love your videos. The added information you provide is so interesting.

[@genevievermore7930]

You basically cultivated a bunch of bird food in the barn 😁 there’s something so comforting about watching the birds chow down at the end

[@dragondancer1814]

YIKES!!!! Now you have an idea of how I felt when I discovered a nest of yellow jackets inside the back wall of my house last year! Fortunately (?) they got into the garage instead of the master bedroom directly above, but since there are trapdoors to the bathrooms’ pipes both in the garage and in my bedroom closet, I wasn’t having it! Wowzer! And for the record, the exterminator only killed the yellow jackets-the nest itself is still somewhere in my garage ceiling, and since getting at it would involve tearing up the drywall I will never know how big it got! So glad you got this nest evicted before your family came, although it’s a shame you couldn’t watch it actually grow. With the size of that nest, I bet your birds enjoyed the snack!

[@scrotiemcboogerballs1981]

Great video thanks maybe you could put a piece of plexiglass in that area and make the inside panel removable so if a nest happens again you could film it and keep watch while still having it closed up when not looking

[@sirennoir258]

You are a really thoughtful host to get rid of the hornets because you have guest coming over. If only people who have roaches would be so kind to get rid of their infestation before inviting people over.

[@peforster6725]

The ground nests always amaze me! Thanks for another great video! Essex County, ON, 🇨🇦

[@blanton1624]

That was an amazing removal. One of the larger nests. Thanks for taking the time to video and explain each step of the removal process.

[@serpentmythos6633]

The rheas look so silly when they sit LOL They're adorable.

[@niaimack]

Would be good to see the different eggs you get and the quality/color of the yokes.

[@gideonsmythe69]

I was like no I feel them crawling on me

[@nevillegoddard4966]

Wow that's a big nest Brett! Lotsa food for the birdies! Hey, have you got a new black chook & a coupla small ones now? Excellent, you just haven't named them yet ay? Doris is so cute how she nestles down on her lower legs to get to the larvae. I'd love to see you pat your birdies more; even pick them up & pat them! And your little squirrel too! Interesting the removal of the hornet nests, but I REALLY mainly watch your videos to see you with your birdies & the squirrel! 😊😊!!

[@SinaFarhat]

Thats a impressive nest! I usually watch on my phone and can at most set the quality to 1080p, this time I decided to watch on my 12.5 inch laptop and the 4k quality is so nice! Keep up the good work!

[@j1derli]

OMG I've got the willies just watching, I can't imagine doing this in person!

[@m.c.4864]

I love your Barn animals❤

[@lolidasterner414]

From what i understand the majority of nests that are inside houses are placed in the foam / insulation . Here in europe where the majority of the construction uses concret and stone for building materials we dont suffer from such invasions. I always think that the houses in the usa are not worh their price in material quality.

[@imagin916]

We also have air conditioning here which they don’t in Europe. I’ll take insulation that keeps the heat or cool air in than stone that doesn’t do much but keep the house cold when you don’t want it to be.

[@lolidasterner414]

@@imagin916 they do depends on the country. On the south europe we have cement and stone simply because its better in the summers. On the northern europe it is a mix of cement and indoor or outdoor layer of insultation. But practically no country uses wood for materials except for the roofs. And dont forget many countries suffer from eartquakes so good materials are a must.

[@steveshoemaker6347]

Well that is the biggest Yellow Jacket nest i have ever seen......Time to feed the Birded and fun to watch and Congrats on 1.07M Sub'ers Thanks Bret and from an Old F-4 Stinkey 🦨Steve🇺🇸

The Hornet King has a German Yellowjacket nest in his barn, SHOCKER! Too bad we can't hook little generators to the bees so they can make us power. Great job HK, cool videos.

[@jpachu16]

That nest looked like a mini Norwegian cruise ship haha

[@Hat_person_88]

My cat loves your vids

[@Cruusher]

nice! I initially thought a few minutes in, that you would have taped up some plastic encapsulating that corner of the room as to keep them contained. They don't look that aggressive but I know they sting like hell.

[@jimbright8194]

That thing was like a yellow jacket apartment complex.

[@wrdturkey]

Them birds must love you. I haven't seen the squirrel lately.

[@greenknight9000]

How on earth do you manage to handle the pain and anxiety of being stung when on the job?! I was stung by a wasp as a kid, and I've had an unrelenting phobia of wasps since then and due to that childhood memory, all I could think about that it was the worst pain in my whole life (I live in the UK so I don't know how weak/strong other wasps are in comparison) and seeing one just sends me into a nervous panic. Tell me your secrets!

[@TheHat--Man]

He's just that guy

[@xtremeyoylecake]

Even though I’ve never been stung, I still have a huge phobia of getting stung as I heard IT HURTS

[@SkiKoala]

If left alone, how big would a nest like this eventually get?

[@insectwildlife37]

That probably would be as big as it gets since it it I soon fall when the colony dies off.

[@richarddennis3793]

unlwss a lazy queen thinks damm why move

[@LordandGodofYouTube]

I had a property with dozens of yellow jacket nests on it, the air was thick with yellow jackets, and we couldn't keep them out of the house, there were so many that every time you opened a door a few got inside. I got an empty milk carton, cut it in half, put some 1.5-inch holes in the bottom half on the sides and some yellow jacket powder in the bottom, and hung an apple slice on a string in the top half. Next, I tape the two halves of the milk carton back together and put it outside. The yellow jackets fly into the milk carton to get to the apple, but before they can fly out again they have to land in the powder. After landing in the powder they fly back to the nest and kill everything in it by taking the powder back with them. This way you don't need to find the nest, we had 50 acres and spent ages trying to find all the nests ourselves, there were so many that no matter how many we wiped out manually we didn't seem to make a dent. This works really well and we were completely yellow jacket free after about a week. I found this method on an ABC Australia page. It is easy and very effective.

[@wishbone1231]

Hornet King you don't have any honey bee nests? Free honey my brother lol

[@kagehikari4281]

Phew! Good thing you knew a professional that could remove them! lol That was a nice looking comb structure too

[@jingledubz3989]

Wow that was some nest! And, loved the educational aspect of this video once again. I will be showing this video to my AP Environmental Science class as well! Thanks! 🤘

[@imagin916]

Here’s a weird question: What would happen if you caught the queen and let her go somewhere away from where the nest was? Would she die off or would she try to start a nest elsewhere?

[@aztumtheknightofwumbo7060]

I believe most nests create a multitude of queens so they can spread out and start their own colonies. Once those other queens are off, the old queen and the nest will eventually start dying out.

[@HornetKingOfficial]

Yes, this late in the season she would die

[@Dataknutte]

But all the ones in your vacuum cleaner. Do they die or do they crawling out? Different see anything of that in this video.

[@imagin916]
