We're not advancing any further (in danger of stumbling upon the nest). 1:24 - He said that one of them has gone to the opposite mountain face to see where exactly the hornet is heading. It's too dangerous (to just keep pushing forward). 2:00 - We just wasted another half an hour, and it's raining now. We're now in a 5 meter by 5 meter proximity of the nest, and are going to eliminate the nest. It's time to gear up. 2:25 - We've made a brand new hornet trap just for today. As for the nest, as there's a village nearby, we're going to exterminate them all. Let's go over to the entrance. 2:48 - Do you see the entrance? The tag is even still there. You can see the hornets moving the soil. 3:58 - We see the nest, it's a pretty big hole. Looks like three layers. 4:14 - It's more or less exposed, looks like three layers. Looks pretty full (?), let's remove it and take a look. 4:43 - It looks pretty full(?). 4 Layers. It weighs around 7 jin (3.5kg/7.7lbs). 4:59 - We're just catching the remaining hornets. 5:42 - Here's the queen. 6:02 - Look, the stinger is stuck in my glove. Look how long it is. 6:28 - We're removing our suits just 3 meters from where the nest was. This is because we exterminated the entire colony today. We exterminated the entire colony because they're very close to a village, 5-6 bee hives that way, and also a road. If they were on a mountain where people don't visit, I would recommend leaving some of them so as not to exterminate the entire colony. 6:53 - It seems to weigh around 7 jin (3.5kg/7.7lbs), and there's about 200 hornets in this container. There's more in this one, probably about 300.

Great video! I was in absolute awe watching - the camera work alone of the person capturing the entiretry, sharing with us viewers. 2 thumbs up to both. You did such an amazing job eliminating these dangerous HORNETS! Keep up the great work.
From what I've read on reddit, this nest was near a road and some honey bee hives the hornets were constantly attacking, and so the local villagers asked him to remove it. He likely was not paid to do this, but the liquid in the second container was likely grain alcohol, and the way he makes his money from this is by selling alcohol with the dead hornets in it, which for some reason is considered a delicacy in China. Mad props to this guy for doing such a dangerous job with little tech besides that seriously thick suit
A brave hero. Watching that was terrifying. I cannot imagine doing what he did while smiling and casually explaining what he's doing. Nothing but RESPECT for this bad-ass.
So calm,cool & cavalier.He is no doubt definitely a professional in this feild.Accidentaly falling onto a bee hive,whilst collecting Nature Honey,could not be any worse. Imagine the painful excrutiation seering pangs of a regular standard sized Wasp.Then think of similarities of pressurized poisonous injections, within the major differences incomparison to such an insect.
That was absolutely incredible to watch! I’ve never seen someone take out a massive hornets nest by themselves, only using a large plastic bottle, a pick-axe, a glass jar, and a fly-swatter. This guy knows exactly what he’s doing and he’s extremely good at it. The hornets here in the United States can be dangerous but I know that the Asian variety are extremely dangerous, especially if you’re a bee keeper. One Asian hornet can annihilate an entire bee hive by standing in front of the hive entrance by chopping every single bee in half by using their mandibles. Asian hornets are a force to be reckoned with.
They're *very* territorial if I've read right. As people build more into forests, they run the risk of stumbling on natural nests. Apparently they'll warn you first by grinding their mandibles together and like, flapping their wings all together (like they're hitting a spear against the ground or something, yeesh-). When they attack, they use chemical messages to communicate with the rest of the hive. So when one goes on the attack, it's like they leave a flare on you saying "intruder!" and everyone else comes to drive you away.
Mostly right, but it actually takes2-5 Japanese Hornets to destroy a nest, because if it's only one.. bees Have a neat trick where thousands of them do a giant dog pile on the single intruder, covering it completely. Then they all begin to vibrate so fast that they create massive amounts of heat, literally cooking/melting the loan intruder. It's actually quite interesting 💯👍
@@XXhite That is a neat trick. I had no idea bees will dog pile the intruder to the point where they’re basically cooking them from all their internal heat. Thank you so much for the info and take care!👍🏻
I remember seeing that bee ball trick on a documentary about 15 yrs ago and it fascinated me! It stayed in the back of my mind, and now it's becoming common knowledge
Sure makes the bee suits we use here in Florida look like painter clothes. That suit, while hot, is definately what I would want to use when they get to Florida!
I live in South Fl, and yeah, I'd bet you'd bake in those. Sounds like they come with a battery operated fan to pull in air through some small mesh opening, like the one they have in those inflatable dinosaur costumes. I think you can hear it running when he's facing the camera
Yeah, I bet they could easily sting through stuff like heavy cotton and denim. They could probably chew their way through pretty fast too if it came to it. That suit looks like an outer layer of mesh with a core of thick foam and likely an inner mesh to keep the foam in place. Makes sense though. You'd want at least half an inch of material between those fuckers and your flesh. All it would take is for one of them to make it inside the suit and you'd be having a very bad day. Hell, we just have Vespula Vulgaris here in the UK and they're bad enough.
@@mosesa2305 Yeah. They'll sting you just for the sake of it. And unlike bees, they don't rip their own guts out as the sting isn't barbed so an individual wasp can and will sting multiple times. They'll also happily wipe out entire bee hives. Don't get me wrong, they're not as huge as the ones in this video but they make up for it with sheer horribleness. Highly aggressive especially in autumn when the weather changes and their food sources start to run out. Nests can get super feisty. Then again, they don't have the term Vulgaris in their name for nothing although you might know them simply as "Yellow Jackets". They're arseholes with wings.
@@Crimsonedge1 Thanks. when in the UK I've seen yellow jackets around my property, like 1 or 2 flying around. Thankfully haven't been stung, they buzz around me sometimes and I walk away. Just 1 or 2 probably means I'm not near their nest and hence not a danger. However will have to be much more careful.

Yeah I thought that! A bit like on horror movies where they hide away in a closet to get away from a "baddie" They manage to hide well enough that the baddie doesn't find them& so leaves the room/ building. But then the person comes out from hiding straight away! I would stay in that closet for like half a day so I was sure the baddie had gone! (In this case the baddie is the murder hornets!) :-p Fair play to him though for killing those nasty things. Die murder hornets, die!!!
Came across a few of those when I was visiting the mountains here, and they were ABSOLUTELY HORRIFYING. They are so big, and the sound that they make is just scary. Glad that there are operations like these to remove them.
Love this Video!! The Americans have had a recent invasion of the Hornets in the Pacific North West, Then mucked about with tagging a wasp with a bluetooth transmitter these boys just tag one with a piece of ribbon that they can see and follow it back to the nest
@@persephone2706 They have been using the ribbon method in Japan and mainland Asia for generations, its low tech and the weight of the ribbon is enough to slow down the Hornet and keep it in view, High tech doesn't always mean better.
@@vaughanellis7866 you realize that they did lose track of the hornet at some point right? Part of the beginning was about how they found the one with the tracker again.
the fact that this guy literally needs to wear half a hazmat suit to be protected from insects a fraction of his size. these things are inhumanely effective and the absolute stuff of nightmares
@@pumpkinchucker4953 Could be Iso (Alcohol) but in most cases all you need is soapy water . They breathe through their abdomen and the soap will suffocate them, it doesnt take much . Cheers .
@@ammocan2796 We could _all_ handle it? You sure about that? I believe that even with that suit most people would get PTSD from attempting it. Camera doesn't do it justice. That must be a very intense experience, even not getting stung. Like bullets whizzing all around him constantly.
@@ammocan2796 I think what you meant is that, with such a suit, it looks very safe and anyone "could" (in theory) do it. But I'd say not many would actually (in practice) be able to do it and do it well, especially without supervision. Personally, it would (in theory) be very therapeutic for me (as I have a phobia of wasps), but I would be kidding myself if I'd think I would be able to do it. These giant hornets have made it so much easier for me to handle the puny wasps I otherwise would encounter where I live, but my phobia is still there, and probably will never disappear fully.
This video is a lot more fun when you imagine he's a vengeful avatar summoned by the honey bees of the region performing a desperate dark ritual to defeat the giant hornets constantly raiding them
@@Aaron-yw7ji Oh damn, that's pretty weird for anything that has a solitary phase to return to having multiples in cooperation, or is there only one founding queen and the rest are just offspring? We have argentine ants being all invasive and shit over here in NZ and they do the same thing but with inter-nest cooperation on top, a lot less deadly though (at least to us).
Probably has adaptively developed some resistance to the venom, similar to bee and snake handlers have some resistance. Thankyou for your service. The hornets, similar to many other insects, can develop immunity to pesticides, so after catching them they could be destroyed simply by pouring plenty of strong alcohol into the bottles. Ethanol would not poison ground water as bad as isopropyl or methanol, and after the big catch and nest removal operation, it would be good to soak the nest area with ethanol to destroy any stragglers. Ethanol also would probably destroy any hornet chemical pheromones.
That buzzing is very intimidating, the quantity of demons in that one nest is horrifying! He waves that orange net around like Sponge Bob Squarepants Jelly Fishing😂😂
Thank you for posting this video. I had no idea they could fly against that kind of drag! You may be able to take advantage of their heat intolerance by tacking black plastic over the ground nest, and letting the sun help your work.
I imagine they would dig out in another direction....I think giving them time to figure it out might not work. But who knows....it might....I think using their super aggressive nature and just having something like a bottle over the exit/entrance hole and agitating the ground...sending them into overdrive. Lol. They don't even think.....they just fly out to kill...to their own detriment.
The most insane part to me...in this merry-go-round of insanity...is how he's happy...smiling...barely even fazed...I'm terrified just watching this...nevermind actually doing it!
From what he was saying, he's actually afraid to move forward, not knowing where's the nest is located, until the spotter saw the streamer tied to one of the worker hornets. Once the nest's location was identified he was able to move forward and destroy the nest eventually. Of course being a pro helps. He's done this a couple of times obviously.
Even if I had that suit on, inside a military tank that has been encased in concrete, I still wouldn't go near their nest. Much respect for these guys.
Some of the hornets being grabbed directly from the combs are probably teneral, meaning they've emerged recently, and are relatively feeble, unaggressive, incapable of flying, and of rather drab coloration. It takes a couple days for them to mature completely after emerging from their cocoons (which are in the cells having the white caps, which the insects chew open when they emerge).
@@amberbob2634 Yes, that can happen. Bees and wasps aren't even defensive when they first emerge from their cocoons--and aren't really capable of stinging for at least a day or so. That changes soon enough, unless the enemy actually invades the nest such as one or more of these hornets.
“My queen, our entire cavalry’s been captured in this impenetrable cubic forcefield..” Seems sallying forth against a besieging armored titan’s ineffective in Fortress Defense huh.
Live in Japan: I’ve seen murder hornets big enough to carry off small children. And the disposition of the f…. ers, they’re constantly pissed-off. Remind me of my wife!
I would love if you enabled others to translate this into different languages! It's somewhere in the video settings. Even if you add a transcript in the original language it will help. Thanks! EDIT: Your country's landscape is SO beautiful!
Imagine leaving your fly open in a situation like this. Edit: seriously, just take your suit off next to the entrance of the nest?! What if some scouts or workers return and get angry?
thought so too... had a wasp nest removal on my balcony and after two weeks without going outside the fist time I went outside a wasp came flying and stung me right in my leg... hurt for 2 months....

Last year I did and it was no fun
How fast and far can you run?
Great video! I was in absolute awe watching - the camera work alone of the person capturing the entiretry, sharing with us viewers. 2 thumbs up to both. You did such an amazing job eliminating these dangerous HORNETS! Keep up the great work.
These guys are smart, and brave and pretty tough. What an awesome job. You guys are heroes, keep up the good work!
From what I've read on reddit, this nest was near a road and some honey bee hives the hornets were constantly attacking, and so the local villagers asked him to remove it. He likely was not paid to do this, but the liquid in the second container was likely grain alcohol, and the way he makes his money from this is by selling alcohol with the dead hornets in it, which for some reason is considered a delicacy in China. Mad props to this guy for doing such a dangerous job with little tech besides that seriously thick suit
Sounds like a Witcher contract.
Have you the link from Reddit?
Obviously china
@@dhritishmanhazarika3894 Hah great comment.
Not a delicacy as in tasting good but for their (unproven) medicinal benefits... similar to eating animal reproductive organ helps...
Crazy he just takes the suit off in the same spot
He took it to a different spot. Just brought nest with him.
@@hydraxc2478 he meant when he zipped it down I believe, when he first got all of them
His big balls needed fresh air.
I would’ve walked at least a mile and a half away from the site before I took my suit off.
True victory!
That was the most clever way I've seen of catching the hornets and preventing a big swarm. Brilliant dude!!
Absolutely fascinating watching someone so skilled at a job.
A brave hero. Watching that was terrifying. I cannot imagine doing what he did while smiling and casually explaining what he's doing. Nothing but RESPECT for this bad-ass.
It would be terrifying if he didn't have a suit.
So calm,cool & cavalier.He is no doubt definitely a professional in this feild.Accidentaly falling onto a bee hive,whilst collecting Nature Honey,could not be any worse. Imagine the painful excrutiation seering pangs of a regular standard sized Wasp.Then think of similarities of pressurized poisonous injections, within the major differences incomparison to such an insect.
Bcs they enjoy it and used to it
@@FrYLocK41 He would be dead
He has a suit the hornets can't penetrate. There's no reason to be afraid
That was absolutely incredible to watch! I’ve never seen someone take out a massive hornets nest by themselves, only using a large plastic bottle, a pick-axe, a glass jar, and a fly-swatter. This guy knows exactly what he’s doing and he’s extremely good at it. The hornets here in the United States can be dangerous but I know that the Asian variety are extremely dangerous, especially if you’re a bee keeper. One Asian hornet can annihilate an entire bee hive by standing in front of the hive entrance by chopping every single bee in half by using their mandibles. Asian hornets are a force to be reckoned with.
They're *very* territorial if I've read right. As people build more into forests, they run the risk of stumbling on natural nests. Apparently they'll warn you first by grinding their mandibles together and like, flapping their wings all together (like they're hitting a spear against the ground or something, yeesh-).
When they attack, they use chemical messages to communicate with the rest of the hive. So when one goes on the attack, it's like they leave a flare on you saying "intruder!" and everyone else comes to drive you away.
Mostly right, but it actually takes2-5 Japanese Hornets to destroy a nest, because if it's only one.. bees Have a neat trick where thousands of them do a giant dog pile on the single intruder, covering it completely. Then they all begin to vibrate so fast that they create massive amounts of heat, literally cooking/melting the loan intruder. It's actually quite interesting 💯👍
@@XXhite That is a neat trick. I had no idea bees will dog pile the intruder to the point where they’re basically cooking them from all their internal heat. Thank you so much for the info and take care!👍🏻
@@archangel5627 only Japanese Bees can pull that off not American

@@Raisethefirewithin nope, the humming sound is the very same sample played again and again, you may compare it with a spectrograph if you wish.
Sure makes the bee suits we use here in Florida look like painter clothes. That suit, while hot, is definately what I would want to use when they get to Florida!
I live in South Fl, and yeah, I'd bet you'd bake in those. Sounds like they come with a battery operated fan to pull in air through some small mesh opening, like the one they have in those inflatable dinosaur costumes. I think you can hear it running when he's facing the camera
Yeah, I bet they could easily sting through stuff like heavy cotton and denim. They could probably chew their way through pretty fast too if it came to it. That suit looks like an outer layer of mesh with a core of thick foam and likely an inner mesh to keep the foam in place. Makes sense though. You'd want at least half an inch of material between those fuckers and your flesh. All it would take is for one of them to make it inside the suit and you'd be having a very bad day. Hell, we just have Vespula Vulgaris here in the UK and they're bad enough.
@@Crimsonedge1 Are Vespula Vulgaris aggressive? do they sting people randomly?
@@mosesa2305 Yeah. They'll sting you just for the sake of it. And unlike bees, they don't rip their own guts out as the sting isn't barbed so an individual wasp can and will sting multiple times. They'll also happily wipe out entire bee hives.
Don't get me wrong, they're not as huge as the ones in this video but they make up for it with sheer horribleness. Highly aggressive especially in autumn when the weather changes and their food sources start to run out. Nests can get super feisty.
Then again, they don't have the term Vulgaris in their name for nothing although you might know them simply as "Yellow Jackets".
They're arseholes with wings.
@@Crimsonedge1 Thanks.
when in the UK I've seen yellow jackets around my property, like 1 or 2 flying around. Thankfully haven't been stung, they buzz around me sometimes and I walk away. Just 1 or 2 probably means I'm not near their nest and hence not a danger. However will have to be much more careful.
Big props to the person who tied that plastic to that hornet. You are the real hero here.

Wow, so many and such a huge nest! That suit was crazy, I wouldn't be taking that suit off until I was far away from that area!
i mean, ever..
I was imagining a couple of squadrons coming back from patrol at that very moment.
Yeah I thought that! A bit like on horror movies where they hide away in a closet to get away from a "baddie" They manage to hide well enough that the baddie doesn't find them& so leaves the room/ building. But then the person comes out from hiding straight away! I would stay in that closet for like half a day so I was sure the baddie had gone! (In this case the baddie is the murder hornets!) :-p Fair play to him though for killing those nasty things. Die murder hornets, die!!!
That's what I was thinking
when he finally takes off the suit he said that they had gone quite a ways away from the original site of the hive
bravo excellent travail pour sauver nos abeilles, merci pour votre travail
Came across a few of those when I was visiting the mountains here, and they were ABSOLUTELY HORRIFYING. They are so big, and the sound that they make is just scary. Glad that there are operations like these to remove them.

I love how you track the hornet. simple but super effective.
Love this Video!! The Americans have had a recent invasion of the Hornets in the Pacific North West, Then mucked about with tagging a wasp with a bluetooth transmitter these boys just tag one with a piece of ribbon that they can see and follow it back to the nest
I was thinking the exact same thing.
Do you realize how easy it is to lose that wasp though? A transmitter is much easier...
@@persephone2706 They have been using the ribbon method in Japan and mainland Asia for generations, its low tech and the weight of the ribbon is enough to slow down the Hornet and keep it in view, High tech doesn't always mean better.

@@ammocan2796 We could _all_ handle it? You sure about that? I believe that even with that suit most people would get PTSD from attempting it. Camera doesn't do it justice. That must be a very intense experience, even not getting stung. Like bullets whizzing all around him constantly.
@@ammocan2796 I think what you meant is that, with such a suit, it looks very safe and anyone "could" (in theory) do it.
But I'd say not many would actually (in practice) be able to do it and do it well, especially without supervision. Personally, it would (in theory) be very therapeutic for me (as I have a phobia of wasps), but I would be kidding myself if I'd think I would be able to do it. These giant hornets have made it so much easier for me to handle the puny wasps I otherwise would encounter where I live, but my phobia is still there, and probably will never disappear fully.
The brave extraction aside, i found it fantastic how the hornets nest was neatly built under the soil, with only a small entrance.
Bees are super similar! Bumblebees are my favorite! They both love a small entrance :)

The fact that he pulls out the nest so clean without breaking it makes it very satisfying.

At 5:42 it looks like he grabbed a queen...that would prevent one less nest from re-establishing itself. This is amazing work!
Yup, that was the queen
@@jorgesabori1222 a* queen. Giant hornets can and will have multiples in the nest.
@@Aaron-yw7ji Oh damn, that's pretty weird for anything that has a solitary phase to return to having multiples in cooperation, or is there only one founding queen and the rest are just offspring? We have argentine ants being all invasive and shit over here in NZ and they do the same thing but with inter-nest cooperation on top, a lot less deadly though (at least to us).
@@Aaron-yw7ji I was just translating what he said...had no idea these could have more than one queen. That makes them even more scarier, damn!
I really wanted the queen to get more screen time. She looked fucking HUGE
No vacuums, just a butterfly net. What a legend!
Not sure what that sound was around the 5:30 mark but sure sounded like a vacuum. Maybe it was his suit?
@@RichWeigel yes, that's definitely a vacuum. But he doesn't use it to collect the hornets.
@@RichWeigel there's a general fan sound throughout the time he's wearing his suit, i think it is for ventilation
Probably has adaptively developed some resistance to the venom, similar to bee and snake handlers have some resistance. Thankyou for your service.
The hornets, similar to many other insects, can develop immunity to pesticides, so after catching them they could be destroyed simply by pouring plenty of strong alcohol into the bottles. Ethanol would not poison ground water as bad as isopropyl or methanol, and after the big catch and nest removal operation, it would be good to soak the nest area with ethanol to destroy any stragglers. Ethanol also would probably destroy any hornet chemical pheromones.
incredible work ethic gives new meaning to thorough job well done!
That buzzing is very intimidating, the quantity of demons in that one nest is horrifying! He waves that orange net around like Sponge Bob Squarepants Jelly Fishing😂😂

Incredible video. I just wish it had been CC in English because I would have loved to read his commentary as he worked.
Thank you for posting this video.
I had no idea they could fly against that kind of drag! You may be able to take advantage of their heat intolerance by tacking black plastic over the ground nest, and letting the sun help your work.
These things are machines. Probably still keep going if they lost a wing...asymmetric flight...no problem.
@@bv3bv334 bunch of Rutans, eh?
I imagine they would dig out in another direction....I think giving them time to figure it out might not work. But who knows....it might....I think using their super aggressive nature and just having something like a bottle over the exit/entrance hole and agitating the ground...sending them into overdrive. Lol. They don't even think.....they just fly out to kill...to their own detriment.
The most insane part to me...in this merry-go-round of insanity...is how he's happy...smiling...barely even fazed...I'm terrified just watching this...nevermind actually doing it!
From what he was saying, he's actually afraid to move forward, not knowing where's the nest is located, until the spotter saw the streamer tied to one of the worker hornets. Once the nest's location was identified he was able to move forward and destroy the nest eventually. Of course being a pro helps. He's done this a couple of times obviously.
@@user-le6hc2tn1u freakin crazy.
Thats why nobody will remember your name.

Even if I had that suit on, inside a military tank that has been encased in concrete, I still wouldn't go near their nest. Much respect for these guys.
The decision to remove the bee suit while he's still at the site took balls. Picking up the nest bare handed. WOW.
Some of the hornets being grabbed directly from the combs are probably teneral, meaning they've emerged recently, and are relatively feeble, unaggressive, incapable of flying, and of rather drab coloration. It takes a couple days for them to mature completely after emerging from their cocoons (which are in the cells having the white caps, which the insects chew open when they emerge).
I’d be pissed if I was a bee that just emerged from my nest, ready to live my life and then this guy comes
@@amberbob2634 Yes, that can happen. Bees and wasps aren't even defensive when they first emerge from their cocoons--and aren't really capable of stinging for at least a day or so. That changes soon enough, unless the enemy actually invades the nest such as one or more of these hornets.
