Pretty powerful words that speak volumes, this is U-socialim, we humans are Authoritarian-social species. We, wolves, dolphins, chimps or lions or even to a degree wasps surprisingly cannot exist without alpha males or females, we cannot exist without autocratic authority (which is why Democracy is a lie). Termite or ant U-sociality is such an alien concept where you're literally born with instructions on your employment and anything you do in life is pre-programmed and you're just a slave of instinct, from the lowliest minima to a Queen or Drone.
basher abdi o my God you actually +1. your own comment that is literally the lamest thing you can do LOL, Do us a favor and Get The Fuck Out of here little boy .
Great documentary but I would have liked it to contain more information, not just looking at them. Sure they are amazing and all but I would have liked to get insight on their defence capabilities, how their acid works, more about their feromone usage, social behaevior, forming of ventilation, predators and all kinds of stuff but this documentary touched the deep information very vaguely. When they gave insight how their internals process plant materia kept me going trough the whole document hoping for more deep information but it never came.
Those termites see attack on titan when humans break open their walls and smile at them creepily. A very impressive species tho, they deserve great respect for recycling and maintaining the natural cycle.
WOW, they are really impressive, they build infrastucture like roads, tunnels, high rises, and they even have acid cannons to defend against an assault on the other ant colonies they're really amazing little creatures, plus they can travel for many miles, and they can carry lots of food for the long journey home, they really are an amazing species. I just wish they didn't eat our homes and cause so much damage, if they didnt do that then i'd really like those little guys.
It’s our fault for building homes made out of their food (wood) and then creating good living conditions. Earth/brick and concrete-based buildings don’t have these issues.
Well this species are more interested in plant matters but if you leave them undisturbed they will destroy your house but if not they will respect themselves
Absolutely fascinating little creatures I love the education these nature docs give me, I've binged on ant docs, giant asian hornet docs, now termites. Got to say I found the lichen to be quite amazing as well. The way those lichen have evolved such an ingenious but simple trap just fascinates the hell out of me.
Fascinating subject matter and well-captured visuals. The sound, however, is a nightmare at least early on around 15:00. Echoing eerie piercing tones that are so sharp and loud that I had to turn the sound down just to bear them. I think the intention was to create a "creepy" ambiance but it ends up sounding like somebody's high schooler found the reverb
@@johnathanbusse4679 That doesn't change the fact that it will require more resources and time to rebuild the whole structure, not to mention that predators will have easier time breaking in to deeper chambers where defenseless grubs are more likely to be found. I'm not saying it's unethical or something like that as this could still happen in the wild if specialized predators (such as the anteaters) decided to do it but at the end of the day the termites still have to pay something just because of human's curiosity.
This was fantastic. Just seeing that queen at the end in such detail was extraordinary. Bravo! I mean, bugs really seem like aliens. It's actually kind of terrifying, in a way. But I think that's what makes it so fascinating.
"They are the only animals that have managed to build an air-conditioning system without electricity." I'm pretty sure leafcutter ants have air-conditioning as well, using the heat from their food productions to circulate air.
I know, right?! A lot of things that live/burrow underground do this. Making one opening higher than another sucks air in.... instant air conditioning! Other insects, and also some burrowing mammals do this too.
@@LerRhann wood ants have their own central heating system, during early spring, when it's still to cold for them to forage outside for food, they'll cluster around the top of their mounds and sunbath, using their bodies to absorb heat, they then "carry" the heat to the center of the nest in order to keep their queen and her eggs warm.
At my job we had termites chew through 10 feet of concrete to get to the wood bits on our shelving . What material can be used that termites won't chew through ? I was looking on line and found carbon fiber blocks ... I wonder can termites chew through carbon fiber ?
Subterranean termites cannot eat or destroy concrete, they will tunnel over or go through cracks in the concrete as thick as just two sheets of paper and find the wood.
I read you comment out loud to My 22 year old son and he laughed and said, “I bet it was a dude that said that...” ...yep...Funny, you’re both named Aaron.
29:49 I love it that the termites have a 1 way system in their tunnels! How smart are they?!? Much more efficient than ants that walk all over each other. This documentary is fascinating. 1 of the most enjoyable I've seen 4 a while. 👍
Zasso no Kemuri me too! They show us night vision clip of the termites working hard constructing it then next day ok let’s tear it down and hijack the queen
You've piqued my curiosity now! I realise it was two plus months ago, but if you can remember any of it and want to share I'd be interested to see what sort of backwards twisted sorcery your brain pulled with this subconscious subject matter!
I remember as a child discovering some termites eating a table, when I got real close I noticed that they have humongous heads and I thought that they were really cute with those big heads .
I wish this had captions for those of us with hearing issues. I love the documentaries you bring to us, and have given this a like…even though I didn’t get all the narration and dialogue. Termites are amazing creatures, essential to their ecosystems, and there are many more species that don’t eat your house than do. The fungus growing ones are the most interesting.🖤🇨🇦
Imagine working on an assembly line in a factory. Uncontrollably inspired and internally forced performing repetitive actions with zero pleasure. Fucking questionless hellish circles... like a slave. "God makes them do it in the trillions because humans." Pretty awesome for them right?
Does anyone know why the termite soldiers would kill their queen if she becomes stressed? I googled it but without satisfying reslut. Thanks for the video!
+A .Heldin not sure if they would maybe they are thinking bees lol. bees get stressed and ball up around her eventually cooking her from the heat their vibration generates.
As the Orkin man with Branch 2 certification... I can't treat for termites yet, as i need branch 3 certification, but i can educate my customers. I love learning more and more about things like this and we have classes by Entomologists and the like but i like overachieving and self educating haha
Are you serious? That’s a joke. I started with my W phase license and doing wood destroying insect reports. I always wondered if it would be worth going to the corporate side but hearing this I sure am glad I stay with private family ran outfits. Is your pay commission based.
@@Just.A.T-Rex hey its been so long since I made this comment. So things changed. So in California an applicator can treat for termites. But a branch 3 must fill out a Termite report or verbally ask the applicator to apply termiticide, etc. But a branch 2 cannot under law. So as a branch 2 that I was I could not technically tell or inform a homeowner they had termites unless I was also branch 3. Not even an applicator can, even though the applicator sees and applies termiticide every living day haha. I'm no longer a pest control technicians but to answer your questions I was both on base pay and small commission based
Please curb the spread of music, we understand who you paid for it. But let me tell you he has a terrible reputation in the music industry, especially the Canadian industry as being a shmuck: just watch him on Howard Stern, with his mullet. Don’t purchase his music anymore! It contains illegal sounds from his body parts!!!! Thanks for the amazing film!
I think we are ok (in kenya obviously) sharing our shambas with the termites. Its usually so much fun exploring those ant hills. I love the beauty of our country Kenya.
This was a great documentary. However I wish they would have included Zootermopsis angusticollis or Damp Wood Termites in this documentary. The Secrets of Nature, perhaps you can make a separate doc on Zootermopsis angusticollis. They are not a pest and are north americas largest termite.
23:19 Lol they are really checking to make sure these termites aren’t violating any emissions regulations with their towers. It’s 2019 these termites need to go green.
A very interesting video, don't understand why if the queen became agitated after being place back into the mound that her soldiers might possibly kill her, the narrator never mentioned why, I summarize that if the queen acted strangely that the soldiers would think that she was a foreign body? One last thing far too many commercials, dear lord almost every five minutes, far too many :)
James Jackson Maybe if the queen acts strangely, the soldiers will think she might be close to death or showing some weakness. In some ant nests where there are multiple queens, the workers follow the strongest queen and will eventually kill off the weaker queens. Maybe it's the same with termites.
I really wonder why you Americans make your houses of wood. I think it is because it is cheaper but it is more expensive in the long term because they need more maintenance. I would be very glad if someone can answer my question.
+Nicolás Rivero hardwood can last longer than most other more solid material and can deal with most disasters better than cement say an eathquake and the all to common hurricanes and tornadoes also wood is better for winter seasons wood is plentiful and renewable and wood doesn't corrode as badly as concrete and is easier to repair theres also comfort aspect living in an entirely cement house can feel like prison to some americans
There is nothing wrong with timber houses. At least you know you stand a better chance when an earthquake comes along. Timber houses may still get damaged by an earthquake, but I am sure you will not like to be squashed by concrete slabs.

***** yes but you get to see termites inside their colony. you know close up shots at their daily life and such.
+Amuscaria Mushrooms you must be quite interested in them (^-^)
is this dude money alot? ($_$)
kind of a niche film. You may not find many.
“Without destroying their home” *one side of the mound completely taken off while destroying their most important part of the nest*
meh, they will rebuild it.

They cracked open the nursery and just kept digging. Knocking them around
I thought this too, she literally ripped off half the mound haha
And... there goes my interest in this documentary, man I hate when they do things like that, remember lemmings?

because they will make a new queen... the stressed queen is no use for them already...just an opinion
is that really how your supost to pronounce methane
Here in Puerto Rico our térmite make huge round spheres made of wood fibers there brown with little holes throughout the thing maybe for ventilation
Everytime I see one if those huge dirt nests, all I can think about is the fire ant scene from the Scorpion King

@@jsprite123 what? That statement made no sense
@@Orbital_Smack You may want to google "emission regulations", "going green" and "Republican"...
@@jsprite123 oh two-party system politics applied to insects...yah still doesn't make sense.
@@Orbital_Smack Basically, Republicans don't care much about emissions and "going green" .
Unfortunately, 480p is not enough definition. We hope that, at least 720p will be available...
I now have great respect for termites! Lovely little vegetarians they are😊

Does anyone else hear a slowed down version of the Drv3 execution music..?
I was just thinking that Haha
A very interesting video, don't understand why if the queen became agitated after being place back into the mound that her soldiers might possibly kill her, the narrator never mentioned why, I summarize that if the queen acted strangely that the soldiers would think that she was a foreign body?
One last thing far too many commercials, dear lord almost every five minutes, far too many :)
James Jackson Maybe if the queen acts strangely, the soldiers will think she might be close to death or showing some weakness. In some ant nests where there are multiple queens, the workers follow the strongest queen and will eventually kill off the weaker queens. Maybe it's the same with termites.
James Jackson Sadly the commercials are not planned by them, but rather by youtube ):
James Jackson you might need to install AdBlock Plus;
it blocked 208 commercials while I watched this video
James Jackson 150 ads blocked by ad block plus half way thru
I saw no commercials
Great documentary...(only downside is it has 8 commercials)

Ant- what's that little horn on your heads
Termite- come find out
Ant- IM MELTING! IM MELTING!
Lol
I really wonder why you Americans make your houses of wood. I think it is because it is cheaper but it is more expensive in the long term because they need more maintenance. I would be very glad if someone can answer my question.
+Nicolás Rivero hardwood can last longer than most other more solid material and can deal with most disasters better than cement say an eathquake and the all to common hurricanes and tornadoes also wood is better for winter seasons
wood is plentiful and renewable and wood doesn't corrode as badly as concrete and is easier to repair
theres also comfort aspect living in an entirely cement house can feel like prison to some americans
Ahmed Musa Thank you very much for your reply
Nicolás Rivero in the southwest and Mexico, they make them build them out of cinderblock and brick still. Also, metal.
Nicolás Rivero I think the majority of homes world wide have wood skeletons. I know that there are exceptions but...wood is readily available.
There is nothing wrong with timber houses. At least you know you stand a better chance when an earthquake comes along. Timber houses may still get damaged by an earthquake, but I am sure you will not like to be squashed by concrete slabs.
