  • MASSIVE Hornets Nest cut out of a tree with a chainsaw; The nest fed to my chickens and my SQUIRREL! The MASSIVE swarm is dealt with and vacuumed up for my client!
    Species: Vespa crabro (aka European Hornet). "Hornets" (Vespa) are a type of "wasp" (Vespinae). European Hornets are the only established hornet species in the States. There are some controversial arguments that Vespa mandarinia (Asian Giant Hornets) are established in the States; which they are not. A couple colonies removed from a isolated area in the entire country does not constitute as "Established". European Hornets are STILL the only Hornet species in the States.

I was almost to the very end (about 30-40 feet, on a plankway thankfully) when I heard a buzzing, rolled onto my back, and there was a (gedehams) nest about two feet from my face (the Danish name. Similar to the type and size of hornet in this video).

    Came across this video randomly in my feed. Over this summer I noticed giant European hornets were in Mass all over the place here in Northeast Oklahoma and after doing some research there was no claims that there were any in this area but I can attest to the fact that there is and they are in abundance. I even saw the queen one day come up near my home as she was looking for a place to build a nest. When I say looking at the size of that hornet was terrifying that's an understatement. I'm not kidding when I say she was as large as my entire finger. They seem to be attracted to the dark spots that are on oak trees. I drilled out one of these spots thinking it was sap but no sap came out and it was dry. After drilling out the hole they would no longer go back to that spot and they would go to another spot. I also took note that they would come towards the light if you went out after dark with a flashlight. I've watched them attack other insects including chewing the head off of a giant dragonfly down in the woods.

    Enjoyed the whole video! The fact that you "re-purpose" the nests to your friendly neighborhood squirrels
    and skunks, along with feeding the
    chickens, shows us that as you remove these creatures that "fly and sting"...they also somehow benefit other creatures!
    Great narration, thoroughly explaining "all those facts...that you
    seem to know...that WE WANT to know" !

      Those flying, stinging insects also pollinate. We farmers don't appreciate this.

      Yea they don't just "fly and sting" they're a necessity for pollination. If you want fruits and vegetables, those flying, stinging insects are essential for farming.

Germany has a special law, you can get a fine for killing a wasp between 5.000€- 65.000€ dependson the kind of wasp. same goes for damaging hives.
