    I love how in the beginning every time you poked a hole in the envelope the wasps would pour out like blood from a wound.
    Gave me a cool idea for some kind of fantasy monster that was just one GIANT beehive golem thing and the bees inside were its blood, nerves, and other internal stuff... that could also come out and attack!

  • @DaveNorthWest

    Hey Hornet King, seeing how you periodically relocate nests each year and built cool habitat boxes with windows on the side of your barn, you should do an experiment with one next spring where its attached to rotating lazy susan turntable wheel and see if you can make a spiraling comb by turning it a little every day! That's you'd be really interesting. It would be like a biology science experiment. Maybe even make a new discovery doing it! That would be cool! Anyways awesome videos and I'm always on the lookout for your channel to show new ones!

      A few years ago there was a really cool exhibit at the MoMA in NYC. The idea was science meets art. The most memorable pieces were home objects, like a vase, were made of honey combs. The artist would build scaffolding that the bees would build there honey combs on. It was pretty awesome and I wish I remembered names and such.

    I was a camp counselor in the summer in the Adirondacks and during the dry summers the yellow jackets nested in the trail. A lot of kids got stung. I gotta say one of the most satisfying things to watch is all those nasty yellow jackets getting sucked up into the vacuum cleaner. I could watch that all day. At the same time I do appreciate his knowledge and teaching around wasp and hornet biology. Finally, I grew up in the Philadelphia area and I do enjoy hearing the accent again. It’s a really tough one to imitate. But when you hear it, you know it.

    My friend had TWO separate yellow jacket nests in her flower beds. They were diving at her while she was working in the flowers, but they didn't sting her. I wonder if she had the lesser aggressive kind? I've been stung a few times, and they are all aggressive to me! haha. Anyway, one day she came outside and both nests had been literally dug out of the ground, leaving a big hole. She checked her video security cameras, and a skunk had come in the night and eaten both nests. Who knew even skunks had their role in nature!

    • @ITOLDUDA
      @ITOLDUDA Před rokem +3

      @@jaimestewart8295 Not at all true. Here at least. They don't become uber aggressive until about the first of July. By fall they are downright mean. While they will respond just about anytime if you mess with the actual opening in their nest, they are far more understanding just being near the opening before the heat of summer sets in. We had a nest near our landscaping, so we didn't want to use our usual gasoline method of removal. I stood with my feet about 1.5 feet from the opening and poured SEVIN dust down the hole. They would fly around me (at me?) to get to the nest but never stung me. By the next evening the poison did its work (Sevin is a slow kill pesticide - it takes time). So, not lucky at all. It's perfectly reasonable she didn't get stung as long as she stayed far away enough from the actual opening. IDK the time of year, but they are far more forgiving in spring especially. They get more aggressive later in summer. We could literally mow over a nest and never know it's there until late June - Early July then they definitely let us know where they are...

    I do not know why I like watching these but I feel like every time I do I feel like those hornets are on me when they really aren’t. ( I have bug phobia )

    Awesome as always!
    What you’re saying about needing to retain the velocity from a smaller nozzle makes perfect sense.
    Possibly nonsensically: Have you ever considered building a stupidly oversized industrial vacuum setup? Something like you’d find at a really large car wash; Possibly use a 330 gallon IBC tote as the collection chamber, with a properly sized generator, all on a medium sized trailer..?

    The last time I got a nest anywhere close to this size I decided to go a different route.
    I got a shit ton of bottle rockets, a few of the bigger rockets, some m80’s, a little duct tape and some fishing line.
    I nailed some of the fishing line to various parts of the nest where I saw the most movement and brought all of the loose ends back about 10 feet and secured them to a 2x4. Then I pinned a couple more fishing lines towards the center of the nest, twisting multiple lines together for a bit more strength.
    Then I made little loops of duct tape for each of the lines and connected them to the bottle rockets with the biggest ones sliding on the lines pinned to the center of the nest.
    Then I lit several of the rockets at the same time and kept the lines taut using the 2x4 and watched as I brought democracy and freedom to the oppressive collectivist hive of yellow jackets. I continued until I only had a couple of small rockets left to use on some small ones and I went to review the carnage. The nest was completely obliterated, random pieces of yellow jacket strewn about on every centimeter of the room it was in. A head here, a wing there, legs here. It was nuts.

    Also wow, this nest was hugeeee!!!!!

    • @HornetKingOfficial

      Unfortunately analytically, viewership drops off pretty harshly over 20 minutes. I find for a video to perform well, length should be between 17 - 20 mins.

    Hey HK, when you bring the combes back home, how are the hornets dead? I assume you don't spray poison as you feed them to chickens. What do you use?

    • @HornetKingOfficial
      @HornetKingOfficial  Před 2 lety +7

      I put the nest in the refrigerator for about 24hrs. Stuns/kills the adults, but the larvae are protected in the comb.
