    The Yellowjacket’s need some sort of meat to feed to the brood, or else both the adult yellowjackets and brood will die. (The brood eats meat, and gives the yellowjackets a sugar water substance in return) Like so he can see this!!

      KSound Kaiju Yellowjackets will scavenge pretty much any type of meat, liquify it, and feed it to their larvae. Including the meat on a McDonald’s burger 😂

    I have tried relocating yellow jackets in large enclosures multiple times actually, and I noticed that when the nest is verticle instead of horizontal(cells facing down), they know and usually abandoned the nest. Also make sure the enclosure it kept dark until ur observing, cause to them seeing light from their nest means its dangerous for them.
    They really like soft grubs, caterpillars, and and some meats to feed their larva. The ones i used to have really liked bologna. Protein, Carbohydrates, water, and building materials r all they should need.

      I just wanted to say that this comment did make me smile and perk up a bit; which I really needed.
      I'm not looking for sympathy, just to show how a small comment can actually help a total stranger. My mom had a small stroke 2 weeks ago and is expected to recover but it has been rough to suddenly take on everything at home so she can rest and not stress about cleaning the house and taking care of her numerous pets, let alone the shock and worrying from my previously healthy mom waking up without feeling on her left side and being hospitalized for a week. I never truly realized how much she does and I'm ashamed it took this happening for me to get my shit together and take care of the wonderful woman who raised me and my sister in spite of having a husband who refused to work or help at home.
      I won't go into more, but I needed to say how much your gesture helps and I plan to do the same when I can.
      Thank you and I really hope that you have a great day!

    Tried to move a European hornet nest. It was hanging on a plank, so I picked that plank without wearing a protective suit, I was like 1 metre far from the nest and tried to carry it to my hornet hive. The hornets looked at me but didn't attack, they just left the nest and looked for it at the place where it was before. When even the queen left I took a photo and gave the nest back to the hornets.
    Not all hornets are dangerous and aggressive.
