As someone who has a massive phobia of wasps and hornets, watching them just get sucked into a vacuum cleaner is so satisfying to watch.
Same I am petrified of wasp
Yep
Agreed I see a lot of people saying “stop killing insects they’re so useful to us” I’m like ok so you’re cool if a ton of them swarm inside of your house?
In real life it's even better, because you can feel each one getting sucked into the hose :)
I really enjoyed t he chicken part at the end!
That slowmo of the single warrior going from the nest to string your hand was poetic
A true soldier
I skipped to a random spot and landed right at the start of the slow-mo, bloody perfect
He was the main character
@@saekq lol
Can y’all post the timestamp?
13:27 Hehe, as an archaeologist myself, I can confirm that we do use vacuums (and if necessary, even excavators or other heavy equippment) all the time! It’s just the movie archaeologists that use brushes only… 😁 We do use brushes for the delicate parts of the excavation where you don’t want to accidentally suck up parts of your findings! - And it also depends on the kind of aracheological excavation, money/time at hand, research question etc.
As a fellow archaeologist i can confirm this! :D Cheers!
Bro said "hehe" 💀
@@fizzarolli174And what? Hes still smarter than you
Hey, I’m already at this time the timestamp did nothing to my video time. 13:27
The comment I was looking for 🫡
Watching you handle the nests while knowing they could wake up from their fridge slumber was nerve wracking 😅
"they're hatching already" I was like. This man is too brave. This is his home! 😭
“Nerve wracking”
When I was 4 years old I accidentally stepped on a nest, heard the crunch and immediately got swarmed. The doctors were estimating that I got stung by over 20 yellowjackets at least 11 times each. I'm lucky I wasn't allergic, I was scared to go outside for over a year. And was petrified by anything that flew and buzzed until around the age of 18 Lol
I was 5 and stuck a finger into a hole in some wood. Turns out there was a red wasp nest inside and i got stung only once. Lucky me, still hate wasps though.
14yrs to recover sounds about right…
Same thing with me but I just got scared and they were bees so I now I got apiphobia
For us in the UK that crunch is normally a cow pat!
Glad you're with us my man.
I stepped on top of an absolutely massive yellow jacket underground hive in October unknowingly, and I fell through the dirt directly onto their nest. My foot was absolutely surrounded by hundreds of yellow jackets, but they were confused as hell and slowly spurring too because of the cold. They wiggled and writhed, but didn't fly. Needless to say, that accidental incident killed their entire hive thanks to mother nature's frosty touch. I'm actually surprised that they reacted so slowly, but I guess they must have been mid hibernation or something. It was still scary as hell though. Imagine me falling through the ground on top of a massive hive during the summer time... I'd be mauled.
You actually stepped in a underground nest without getting stung? Damn.
@@_reb0og Yes, the only reason being that it was cold enough and that they seemed sluggish to react. They definitely weren't dead through, as I saw them twitching. Such a horrifying moment, because my foot fell through solid ground on top. There was no visible hole that I could see...
@@flywhiteguy2327 I cant handle a bee and u fell into a nest of wasps damn dude
I stepped on one when I was little n got stung 6+ times on my hands n arms I screamed obviously n I was so pumped full of adrenaline it was crazy
I would have lit it to make sure it never got a chance.
Thank you for sharing. This dredged up a bittersweet memory for me. My siblings and I were at a soccer meet ((younger sister played soccer)). I was maybe 9 years old, she was 7, brother 5. My brother walked up a hill to play with a boy who was about 8 or 9. Neither of them were interested in the soccer matches. My brother accidentally discovered a subterranean yellow jacket nest. He was immediately surrounded and froze in place. The other boy tackled my brother and they rolled down the hill together to safety.
Except they were not safe. My brother was stung a bit, but he was fine. The other boy was stung more and he happened to be allergic to stings. An ambulance was called.
I’m now 41 and I sometimes think if that boy who risked himself to protect my little brother. The ambulance arrived quickly because a hospital was on the next block, so I’m sure he survived but I still wish I could thank him.
You’re welcome bro, i am fine.

Detergent breaks surface tension of water. Surface tension is what allows objects with a higher density than water such as insects (e.g. water striders) to float on a water surface without becoming even partly submerged. So adding a little bit of soap to your tank will help to drown hornets faster. If that is what you are looking for of course :)
It also allows it to get deeper into their breathing pores and causes them to drown.
@@Brendedn long time no see
6:50 he acknowledges this.
From my understanding, you can make them bleed to death by using very hot water and decreaser/dawn because their exoskeleton is all held together by wax.
Idk if thats true...just remember learning it 15 years ago lol
@@GhostRiderSpiritOfVengeance highly doubt that’s true bro, wasp nests get hot enough to melt wax
As someone who has a Mom who's deathly allergic to these stings and have seen he immediate aftermath of an attack (got to her epi-pen and then the hospital in time), knowing that they are drowning inside the vacuum makes me feel glad. I know, that is a sad thing to feel because they are living creatures to but I will choose my mom over them any day.
My stepdaughter (50 year old) was mowing her yard and stepped into a underground hornets nest, got stung many times. She ended up in the hospital and had many complications from the stings for several years and finally died from the complications. Be careful out there.
so sorry for your loss@@cathyjosimonton302
You shouldn't feel sad for them. They're just little assholes that sting you.
You couldn’t pay me NEAR enough to do this as a job.. Amazing work and my gratitude goes to you!
Even though it's been refrigerated overnight and any stragglers are slowed down, seeing you handle this nest with your bare hands is scary!

I enjoyed every minute of it even down to the feedings of your healthy chickens. Wow! Thanks.
Just found your channel. I was a beekeeper so I love bees, and these videos fascinate me. I have yellow jacket PTSD from twice stumbling on ground nests....now when I walk my dogs up a particular hill, I am vigilant with paranoia!! So I take vicarious pleasure from watching you remove nests.
This man made me want to watch a 25 minute video of one of my most hated insects ever. And I watched every minute with fascination. Bravo!
15 years ago I chased a hornet around my bedroom with an old electrolux he hit the back of the vaccuum hard I laughed and told my landlord and he really laughed.

I used his methods today on a yellow jacket nest inside my home. I’ve learned a lot by watching the Hornet King and it worked for me. $70 for a bee suit and a bit of soapy water with a shop vac.
As someone that’s has no interest in bees or wasps you made it really interesting and made me want to watch more keep up the vids
I have no idea how or why this showed up on my feed but I am so glad it did. Random entertaining (and educational) stuff like this is exactly what CZcams was made for. Feeding the nest to the chickens at the end was the cherry on top of this satisfying-watch sundae.

16:48 for some reason that super unexpected and I just bursted out in laughter seeing the old fashion looking horse wagon
As an archaeologist I had a chuckle with the vacuum recommendation 😂
Imagine uncovering a small shell bead or something then whoosh, sucked it up and banged it around through a plastic/metal bucket. We want to move things carefully yes, but there are many tiny but significant bits that could be damaged.
Undoubtedly there’s a context for it though, underwater archaeology for instance typically relies on suction.
I'm a leathercrafter. Yes, leather gets significantly softer when wet. You might want to consider wearing some of the black nitrile gloves mechanics use for dirty jobs underneath your leather gloves. You likely won't notice the difference, but it will be a good additional barrier when your gloves are wet.

The way this man says ‘stones’ just makes my day.
I commented on your short reel. I was covered with these guys when I was young. Same kinda situation; my dogs disturbed a ground nest where I was sitting. I was running- up the block covered head-to-toe. I was told to go jump in the shower. It was pretty horrible and I was terrified of them for years. It was interesting to learn about them here. I would never do your job. Kudos to you! P.s. chicken feed seems like a good purpose for them.
Props to that one wasp that came out, realized he couldn’t compete with the vacuum, and rushed back into the tunnel😂
LMAO YES AT 7:15
He won natural selection
😂
Ahh Wasp Einstein, a true genius. He created the theory that time moves different when you're being sucked into the vacuum.
There were a couple that did that
I love how the chickens eat the larvae. On a serious note, my dad was mowing a field on our farm, ran over an underground yellow jacket nest, and got stung very badly...jumped off the tractor (which went down a hill and hit a tree). It was very scary...my mom laid him in the back of the station wagon and took him to the hospital...I have never seen my dad look so bad. Luckily, he survived.

Imagine walking out of your house and getting sucked into a giant vacuum lol 😂
Vac of watuh
ended up here through beekeeping videos and i am so shocked at what these little guys can do. i never would've thought wasps could build something that big for their size.
I had no idea they dispersed so much material from the ground, or that they even did that. I assumed nests are created in some random place with decent conditions as far as temp and wind but the underground thing is pretty cool! The innate engineering in their genes is astounding. Insects have some of the most remarkable traits of life on this planet, little wizards.

Fascinating content. The sting of a southern Yellow Jacket has the longest lingering pain of any insect I've ever been stung by. I ran over a nest in the ground with a push mower and three of them got me right away. I didn't sleep much for the next 3.4 days. Most stings I've ever experienced over the years don't last but a few hours at most and I've over it. These things REALLY hurt badly and the pain stays with you for a very extended period of time.
Cold beers can be held in the hands to reduce the swelling from those stings ... may take as many as six in succession
Take more than 6 hee hee
Lmao
Also ice
1. Wash the Area. First, wash the affected area with warm soap and water.
2.Apply Cold Pack. Wrap a thin cloth around an ice or cold pack.
3. Take Anti-inflammatory Medication. To reduce the swelling, take anti-inflammatory medicine like ibuprofen or paracetamol
4.Apply Antihistamine.

How did you find out your chickens loved to eat the nests? I really like that, the fact that it all goes back to nature. It's has very much a "circle of life" aspect to it, instead of you just lighting the nests on fire for example.
I loved the video, and it made me really appreciate the engineering involved by the wasps in the construction of their nest. Keep up the great work, you're a braver man than me!
I think they are eating the larvae not the nest
Chickens will eat almost anything.
@@stephenvanburen1818 yeah, everything tastes like chicken to them. 👀

@@pstrang7859 I had a nest in my backyard this past summer and those fuckers got me good while I was mowing the lawn, I got stung about 20 times and killed by fire because they are evil
They’re frustratingly common around here but either leave them alone or strike hard and fast
The aerosol lighter combo works wonders though…
This channel is awesome, I discovered it this morning and I'm hooked... I've been obsessed with a couple nests in my back yard, a round paper one about the size of a cantaloupe under the edge of the little wooden ramp going into my shed (one of them got me on the leg pulling my lawn mower out) I doused that one with Spectracide late one night and the following weekend when I went back out, still saw quite a few flying around that area, and saw the nest was still there... then a few nights later I went out to spray with another brand, Raid, was standing back quite a ways and all of a sudden noticed one of the flat, honeycomb shaped ones on the ground amidst the grass, just a couple feet in front of me, with a bunch of bees crawling all over it... so i went back out a couple hours later, around 11pm, didn't see any bees on that one, and sprayed the crap out of it, but while i did, a bunch of them started coming out and just walking around on top of the nest, at which point i took off running with my Tyvek suit and mosquito head net on... I went back out there this evening and was quite surprised that both nests are completely gone without a trace... Maybe animals went after them? I never would have considered that until I saw you feeding them to your animals... I see rabbits and woodchucks around all the time... now I'm concerned if that's harmful to them though, i wouldn't do that in the future..
Am I the only one who admires the building technique of the wasps? They are so tiny but they excavate and build such a giant structure under the earth! Absolutely fascinating.
16:45 that's a horse
Be careful removing old tree stumps. That seems to be a favorite place for yellow jackets to build their nests. I've got an area in the back with a nest and I don't mow within about 6' of it. I also find you usually don't get stung the first time to run over the nest with the riding lawnmower because by the time they come out you are well past them. So always be on the lookout for them, they come shooting out of the ground like a Roman Candle and will get you good on your 2nd or 3rd pass.
Disagree I always got stung right away n terrified as a result
If you have high density and high blood sugar
They can sense you n really get you
I got attacked from over a ft outside their nest stung 16 times
Even stung from 6ft away one of them kamikazed through the spray nailed me through the glove
I have terrible luck with nests sprayed one too hours after sundown still got bit n stung 3 times by a random forager hornet in middle of night
Forager wasn't there saw me spraying n bam
Sprinkle some Bengal dust or hydrated lime around the stump
Never a fun thing being in a stand of pines cutting away brush and invasive bush species not being able to see and potential nest sights amongst the pine needles. I've been swarmed a few times and the bastards always nail me on the back of my hand first, hurts like hell, then they go for the neck. I tell anyone I'm working with just to forget about the saw. I usually just stand back and watch them swarm the saw pissed about this thing thats vibrating their home. One time they actually managed to clog the intake on my saw and shut it off
@@sethbrandenburg941that's insane! How did you manage to get it back after? Do you call someone to take care of the nest?
Have you considered putting a large trap outside the nest before the vacuuming? The ones with meat stapled under a board over soapy water seem to work great, and it would help thin out the swarm without you having to monitor the vacuum the whole time.
Something else that might help is flooding the nest with LN2 after you expose the top, which will both displace oxygen and put the wasps to sleep with cold.
I imagine it's less interesting to film a large trap, not to mention it being hard to film

I once had a subterranean nest of yellow jackets in our backyard, but they made the nest underneath our ac unit. Removing the nest was going to be very expensive as it meant having an AC company come out and move the AC unit. So instead I got Delta Dust and a puffer gun and each night (only at nighttime) I would go outside and puff a bunch of dust into the nest. Eventually there was no more activity coming in or out of the nest but I’m still always cautious of that area.

There is no insect I loathe more deeply than I do _Vespula squamosa_ -- I have had numerous horrible run-ins with them over the years. Two young cousins of mine ended up in hospital after stumbling onto a nest at Clarkco State Park near Quitman, MS, many years ago. The park ranger told us it was the most enormous yellowjacket colonies he'd ever seen. The boys got 60+ stings apiece and spent the night at one of the hospitals in nearby Meridian, MS, but recovered just fine. I've had one of these sting me just for accidentally bumping it as it was flying by... horrid little beasts.
I’ve miraculously only been stung once by these. Got me in the calf. The swelling went into the muscle. I was limping the rest of the day like I took a hit from a linebacker.
spent quite a few summer days at Clarkco State Park in my youth...my dad's side of the family all lived in either Quitman or Meridan and a few in Hattiesburg...had all of the family reunion's at Clarkco and a few at Pep's Point...thankfully I never ran into any Yellowjacket nests though

Those chickens are stoked. Yeah like you said water makes things easier to penetrate with a knife, stinger etc. Dry tires are pretty sturdy. Wet tires are very susceptible to tramp iron, sharp rocks etc.
So you take the nest, feed it to your chickens, chickens lay eggs, then you make an omelette the next morning for energy to go do it again.
Brilliant! 👍😁
I have immense respect for you and anybody else who has the courage to do this job.
It's truly unnecessary. In most cases, you really gotta go outta your way to tick these guys off. Like actually trying to destroy their nest, not even directly disturb it. Perhaps I was lucky or blessed as a kid, but I would play around a large ground hornet nest area that was in our yard every year, and they never attacked me. Not once.
In fact, our house and the immediate surrounding area were a magnet for all types of wasps and bees in the area. Lots of bushes, flowers and blossoming trees. Only time I ever got stung by any of them was a yellow jacket, on a small flower that I accidentally stepped on and probably wasn't even on purpose, just the pressure of the poor thing getting partially crushed by me as it tried to death crawl away. Arial nests, ground. Wasp, black wasps, hornets, yellow jackets, bees. I think they get the most exaggerated wrap, mostly from the rare occasions, often provoked, that they decided to blitzkrieg someone... whom more often than not, is coming to take them out. lol
@@Nathan-zf9xo Never underestimate another person's job just because of your personal experience.
He is a professional who knows what he is doing. And wasps can be lethal when they feel threatened.
Maybe just destroying the nest will make them upset, flying everywhere and sting whatever is on their reach until their queen finds another place for a new nest
@@crys3465 I never under estimated his job. Additionally, he IS making moves on them so of course they'll most likely go to beyond threatened, full attack. As he knows, plus the skill to effectively handle and control the reaction. Wasn't critique towards them or their job. In regards to the second part, that's what I said. They're typically good at knowing the willful threat. Some people do have bad luck. In the end of the day, they have that as a business service. Their business. People are calling on that service. It was more in response to some of those potential callers out there, not to hurt business either! People in general, in regards to above.
I would do this job because it looks fun killing all the Yellow Jackets

Thanks for the nightmare fuel that is the fact that a yellow jacket can sting you through a leather glove LOL
I was walking my dogs yesterday and inadvertently stumbled on a subterranean Yellow Jacket nest. I was stung about 30 times, mostly in the legs, face, and neck. Right now, a day later, I am still in the itching, burning, and swelling phase of my recovery. I think I am scarred for life from these aggressive little bastards! Fortunately, I am not allergic, but the magnitude of how fast the swarm attack happens, this attack could easily be lethal.
Funny enough this happened to me in my yard with the pup (I sit on 7 acres, so it’s a bit of land) playing with the pup and all the sudden I’m being swarmed lol. Got hit up about 20 times before I made it to the pool and stayed under for what felt like 5 minutes, some lingered but I booked it inside. Grabbed my Amazon flamethrower (never really had a use for it before but it makes an amazing exterminator) and held it in their little hole for 5 minutes. Nothing moved lol. Highly recommend an Amazon flamethrower for your extermination and revenge on those little suckers!
Put honey on a bee sting,find their entrance hole,pour some hydrated lime or Bengal dust in it, around their entrance ,I dealt with them for years,now got the upper hand
I hope you paid them back, I got stung by a wasp 2 years ago when I was just staining a fence minding my own business and I paid them back by running them over with a lawn mower
I was attacked by a lot of wasp from a nest when I was very little and I was deeply traumatized and are still 30 years later terrified of wasps.. So this is very satisfying to watch and what an absolutely brilliant way to get them 😍
We experienced the same things Im 31 years old and when i see bee Im run immediately
I got stung like 5 times by bees until I became allergic to them. I get rashes now and hard to breathe so I’m scared toooo lol
The one yellow jacket that first stung him probably was like
Yellow jacket:I’ma do my trick shot .zzzzzzzzzz 🐝💥
Lmao when you flopped on your back like you went from 1 HP to 0 😂
Seeing as I am both allergic, and terrified of stinger bugs. Your channel brings me both great anxiety for just seeing those horrid beings of my nightmares, but also great joy in seeing them be absolutely decimated. Take my subscription
It's currently 2/40am on a Saturday night and I never thought I could be so fascinated by hornets.
10:56 that one wasp going to land at the top of the nest just flys down, and yeet right in lol
So with that many queen cells your animals are getting a Royal Feast!🎉

I love how the hornet queen is in flipflops while he is in full suit. Lol.

Makes you wonder if it was staged satire ;-)
Had one in my yard a few weeks ago and a week before that I had one on my deck. The first one I got stung 6 times. The second one in the yard I got stung in the toe and arm simultaneously while mowing, so I was a little confused on what was going on. Figured out it was another nest so I walked over to see where they where coming from. I didn't see them flying out any where so I keep walking the yard looking. When I finally stopped to look around for a second my legs and feet just started burning. I was stand right on top of the nest and got stung over a dozen more times. I lost a sandal on my escape and thought I t might had been coving the entrance since they continued to swarm it for 4 days but it was about 3 feet away. The next weekend late in the night I got my revenge. A spray bottle full of nitro fuel and a torch and I watch a glorious flame of victory spread down into the hole of death.
RIP Sandal
Bro y'all are menace's like wtf did I just read
I have stepped on a nest and confirm this is the only way to deal with yellow jackets

YOU SAVAGE and also Rip sandal

The dish soap is to make the liquid have a much lower surface tension so they slip and drown in more of like an oily slick liquid that coats their bodies. But I don’t think it matters inside the vacuum because of the pressure, the dish soap hack is more for those little bottle traps people make.
About 7 years ago I was clearing out some evergreen bushes in my back yard. I was chopping the roots with a shovel and stepped on a railroad tie that was being used as a bed divider. Suddenly I felt like someone started hitting me with a hammer on my leg multiple times. As I looked down my leg was covered in hornets and multiple had flown up my shorts and were trapped underneath. Needless to say, it’s rather difficult to run and take your pants off at the same time, but somehow I managed.
We later had pest control come out, and as he was taking a look around the back yard, I started noticing that I had stingers in my leg. Which was weird considering, I was 100% positive they were hornets. While I was inside dealing with the stings my wife went out and told the pest control person exactly what I was struggling with. Eventually, the pest control guy knocks on the back door and says “if your good to come out here you HAVE to see this”.
He asked me to confirm where they came from and we found the entrance to the nest in the tie. He put the nozzle to some dust chemical in the entrance and sprayed it, and out came the hornets. Then he said “give it a minute”. Suddenly, a whole nest of wood bees came out of the same entrance. Apparently the wood bees and hornets had nests in the tie and were sharing the same entrance to their nests. He said he had been doing pest control for 10 years and had never seen that before.
I just want to say it's 4 ish AM and you just had me dying laughing out loud while the whole house is asleep..... as I sit here all stung to shit from yellow jackets because I literally did the same thing all the way down to my skimpy's in front of about a dozen of people (which included kids ☹) as I was being swarmed for about the length of a football field getting the shit stung out of me. Bro I eventually ran into a trailer and shut the door behind me, killed a bunch of them off of me with pure rage like I was in a fight for my life pissed off yelling, got that out of the way, opened up the door and walked back out... I didn't make it 6ft and started getting the shit stung out of me again... those pricked literally waited for me to come back outside to nail me WTF. I've been around bees and stung here and there lots my whole life but NEVER did I ever run into a swarm so damn aggressive.
I'm saying this at at this hour because I literally just got back from round two with those basterds 🤣 Little did they know when they started this fucking war and kicked my ass the first time around that I'm a honey bee keeper that has never turned the other cheek (especially when stung in them 🤬) .... I grabbed a light, mixed up some go juice that would make any revolutionist proud, suited up for battle, and sat there closely watching those little fuckers fry for at least a couple hours with a sinister grin while talking shit to them pricks. hahaha I'm still licking my wounds (got me everywhere) but at least I won the damn war they a started I guess.

@@510Redneck I’m your only ‘like’, & I totally enjoyed your entire rant! I wish more ppl would have read your reply…..it’s a doozy! 👍🏻 I hope all ‘things’ are healing for you! 😉
@@carolmackowiak752 🤣Thanks... Yeah I'm good ... felt like I rolled down the freeway the next day but aside from that the worst part was entire body itching like crazy nonstop for 3- 4 days straight....not being able to scratch it away especially in unreachable places is enough to put one in a straight jacket and placed into a padded room. 😆
I still can't believe that they was smart enough to literally wait for me to come back out the door... I completely figured they would have just returned to their nest but lesson learned I guess. ✌
Don’t hornets eat bees? Or they fight because they are different species?

the wasp: yeah take that you like that i hope that stings wait what's that noise no no no nooooooooo
I used to be terrified of wasps but then I took a sting maybe 4 years ago. Still despise them, but the sting was not so bad. I applaud your bravery in dealing with these creatures every day King
Not me, when I was 4 I had no fear, I fucked around and found out and had my dad carry my crying ass to a clinic. Hate them with a burning passion now.
I was mowing just last week and like most people had no idea that yellow jackets had started a nest in some landscaping railroad ties that border my back yard. However, I also seen a couple of very large black wasp that had very large wings. I would say these things were 2 1/2 inches long. like you I also had on very thick leather gloves, but somehow something stung me right through them? I got stung on the inside of my palm where my thumb meets my palm on my right hand. I’m 53 years old and I’ve been stung more than a few times in my life, but this was easy 20 times anything sting I’d ever experienced before. It felt like somebody jammed a sewing needle directly through the inside of my bottom part of my thumb completely through the other side of my hand. And the pain which was very severe lasted for 4-5 hours. I was actually getting pain running from the area of the sting site all the way up to the top of my shoulder and my muscles in the top of my shoulder were contracting. Every time I would run cold water over the sting thinking it would help calm it down it would intensify the pain tremendously. It hurt bad for a couple of days and after all the pain went away it itched severely for a week. I still have the mark and it’s been 2 1/2 weeks since the sting. I’m not sure what it was. It stung me but never in my life have I ever been stung like that and never do I ever want to be again. I’ll never forget it that’s for sure. I know this might sound weird, but it’s up as if I was punched through the inside of my palm completely to the other side with a large sewing needle. It was like I could feel the pressure of this thing hit me. If anybody has any ideas as to what it could’ve been, let me know as I said, there was most definitely a yellow jacket nest as well as some kind of very large black wasp that I’ve never seen before in my area.
This was a great video! I'm an entomologist and I was really happy with how you explained their nesting behavior.
You have my dream job!
I too wish I could study words 😩
@@Meowmeowimthebiggestcat I cant believe I made such a stupid comment. I'll downvote it with you
When i was about 6 or 7, my older brother kicked some dirt into a Yellow Jacket nest in the ground (California). Needless to say, they were not happy. The one memory that sticks with me, is as I was running and screaming as fast as I could, i peaked down into my shirt through the neck opening and saw hundreds of them swarming inside my tshirt, along with MANY stingers already lodged into my skin.
Ended up getting stung over forty times, and I'm now VERY allergic to any bee stings, thanks older brother! I really appreciate the work those chickens do and might even consider getting some of my own!
I feel ur pain bro that hurts alot i ever got bitten by a army or fire ants and they hurt like HELL
I rushed the water so i could wash them up (sorry AntsCanada)
At the end all fire ants were removed from my house
@@dripbacon3295 I hate fire ants. They leave blisters on me that take a long time to heal. I always get bit/stung mowing the grass. The mounds make mowing with a zero turn mower dangerous if going fast.
@@brianhillis3701 yeah i know that ive been safe from fire ant bites for now
omg im so sorry for you
I once got stung by fire ants and wasps (the black kind) at the same time lol. Luckily, I am not allergic. I had to carry my friend to help one time he was so allergic after getting stung (and he was in amazing shape).

People like you show how amazing humans are. Like I can’t understand what it takes to be an etymologist even though they are so important to our world
6:36 That one hornet just ran straight into the vaccume without flying. Mans thought he was gonna be a martyr 😂😂

hello?? hes the hornet king !!
Oh come on, you have to be dead to be a legend.

The fact that he was stung twice and was just like “nyegh” and almost completely ignored it is awesome
