That slowmo of the single warrior going from the nest to string your hand was poetic

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

16:48 for some reason that super unexpected and I just bursted out in laughter seeing the old fashion looking horse wagon

Was scrolling through shorts, saw yours, clicked the link, and was entertained, educated, and satisfied all at once. Even with the fear of anything black yellow and buzzing existing since childhood, it was still highly enjoyable to watch. What a gem I've found.

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.

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 :)
@rebeccachapman1557
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.
@anng.4542
Even though it's been refrigerated overnight and any stragglers are slowed down, seeing you handle this nest with your bare hands is scary!
@frankwillard4521
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.
@ruthc655
I am acutely allergic to wasp stings. Last one nearly killed me. I'm glad there's folks like you out there.
@Bob-wp3iy
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
@TotallyNotHimBTW
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!
@jennifermoody6987
You sir, are crazier than a road lizard, but I'm extremely grateful for you.. without you, I'd never have known that yellow jackets can be subterranean and THAT is definitely info that the world needs to know.. Thank you for your insane choice of career😊😊
@zerobrick5
I love how it doesnt just look like they get sucked in, it looks like they just dissapear
@56Tyskie
Imagine walking out of your house and getting sucked into a giant vacuum lol 😂
@cosmiclikesminecraft
the fact your so calm about them potentially warming up and waking up and HATCHING IS ABSOLUTLY HORRFYING TO ME
@ASmallGreenBean
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.
@hailbones666
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.

I enjoyed every minute of it even down to the feedings of your healthy chickens. Wow! Thanks.
