The Extraordinary Life Cycle of a Hornet Colony

- After a hornet queen lays hundreds of eggs, her workers set about feeding the larvae chewed-up prey. With tiny waists, the workers can't digest solid food; they instead subsist on drops of amino acid from the larvae.

Imagine a human baby scraping their teeth against the table as a Demand for food. And after they're done being fed theyll spit up a protein shake, Of which the rest of the family consumes in order to stay alive.
And in order to meet their demands(and therefore stay alive themselves), the family has to invade other's people's houses, decapitate them, and steal their young.
Probably while shouting "IM SO SORRY BUT THEY WONT SHUT UP AND IM LOSING MY MIND!!"

No
I'd rather not
Dude why this year gonna die 2021 ?
This is insane. How does everyone not find this interesting ? The camera close ups were great quality.
Amazing. I love photographing bees
Everybody else is watching Katie Perry, you nerd.
literally, earth itself is just one big alien planet
Most humans are too busy thinking humans are supreme and Animals are dumb....
"Their tiny scraping mandibles will one day behead their enemies" im dying
'Their mouth parts' had me crying with laughter too. That's the sort of language that murderous lunatics like Ed Gein and Jeffrey Dahmer use, not what I expect from the voice over guy on a documentary channel.
same tho
They actually decapitate hornets from other colonies in a some weird siege and stuff
RevoNevaeh lol they literally do
american style narration at its best
It is incredible how “alien” our world can be when you get an opportunity to see it that close. Great video!
The Extraordinary Life Cycle of a Hornet Colony *in my backyard*
1) Start building a hive
2) Get gassed
3) Done, repeat next summer
ToastyMemes I used sevin dust,took out the whole colony, used a dial hose sprayer with bifen,leveled everything off
🤣🤣
What do you use? Zyklon-b?
Just call me adolf hornitler
Mathew Anderson that joke was the worst. Booo! 👎🏼👎🏼
Dang, what's with the sudden cutoff? I was really getting into that excellent presentation, but the "life cycle" here didn't include eggs, larvae, pupae hatching, foraging, and so on... you know, the complete "Life Cycle" THAT would be fantastic to see, thanks and thumbs UP as always!!! Longer episodes please :)
Frederick Dunn i was especially waiting for what kills them or how they die and equals the nature
YESH! I want to see the transition, bro! I'm not wasting weed here!
Man talk about a buzz kill..i was all into it waiting for them to emerge and nope....I'll just go get ready for work now 2hrs early
Frederick Dunn you have to buy the full episodes to see. This is just a trailer, a teaser for the actual episode
Frederick Dunn It’s from killer hornets, you need to watch the full documentsry
it is just SO NEAT how bees and wasps know how to make those perfect hexagons in their hives
Bees are more accurate
Almost like they were carefully, thoughtfully designed and programmed by ... someone. Hmm.
Natika I. It's really sad to see a supposedly intelligent creature being unable to grasp evolution and admire it for her beauty and complexity, to instead nullify it in favor of the idea of some mystical creator...
flex tape cant fix the time u decide to cut it open to see the hexagon doe
@@4Him24hrs7 real talk it wasn't until i read another reply to this comment that i realized you were talking about god and not, like, aliens.
but anyway, neither a god nor aliens made bees like this. it's evolution, baby
That's actually kind of interesting that in a way the young grubs basically run and control the hive.
You could flip that silly narration on its head and say that the workers are using the grubs to convert solid food into liquid food. If the Grubs don't produce the liquid, the workers will let them starve... It is not the young grubs controlling the hive, it is everyone doing their part.
Which genius at RUclips decided to make the red bar at the bottom of the video the width of a hair on mobile?
ProfX501 I know, every time they update the RUclips app they manage to fuck it up even more
ProfX501 exactly. Always end up clicking the wrong thing
ProfX501 i agreeeee and i have butter fingers maan that sucks
Jesus fuck its so annoying. they keep trying to fix a problem that simply doesn't exist.
what's worse is that even they don't even update their trouble shooting.
there are so many fucking features that have their placements changed and the official help google website has them still listed in their old placement.
Now I feel compelled to not update my RUclips app. Still have the older versions
lmfao "the scrub needs food"
xDishon like carrying your teammate in fortnite
Me
1000 vids no subscribers fortnite is gae
😂😂😂
Grub.
That is the strangest relationship I have ever heard of! Both are entirely dependent upon the other for food
Mikes Science I guess you never been to West Virginia
im curious how it starts before a colony is fully established. Does a queen ever start a colony alone? if so how possible?
bebop417 queens probably altered because she’s the queen. Either that or she stocks up on a ton of food before leaving where ever she came from
bebop417 Social wasps and hornets nests start off each spring with a single female that was born before the winter and hibernates, typically underground. In the spring the queen emerges and starts building comb, laying eggs, and hunting for food. It does every role in the "hive" until the first larvae hatch, at which point they become workers which hunt and care for the larvae, as well as expanding the hive. With workers all the queen has to do is lay eggs. Each winter the males and unmated females die, so only mated females survive and can start new nests in the spring. Unlike honeybees, wasps/hornets don't typically reuse their hives or persist for more than one year. The newly raised queens mate, and build up fat stores to survive the winter. The founding queen goes out to die at the beginning of winter, as do the workers.
The number of 2000 eggs in one season is amazing. The larva are like moving fried eggs. They only need to make the lid part of the cocoon, so they are easier than making other cocoons.
Has anyone ever wondered...
HOW some animals already know what to do in their first days of living....
like human babies are helpless, but kangaroo EMBRYO can already climb on it's mothers pouch...
CriticalMass 21 WE SUCK
CriticalMass 21 our minds have consciousness thus takes us longer to grow.
The instinct is "registered" in every animal's DNA.
We're somehow more advanced despite being helpless babies
Humans dont know what to do until High School is over. After High school is over we know what to do and how to do anything , its like we know everything.
Killer hornets...literally bees on METH.
Lol
I laughed way too hard at this
And steroids
Walter white find another way to sell is product
What gets me is how such close up footage of these nests can exist without them going crazy.
Easy. It's not in the wild it's artificially induced in a controlled environment.
Props to the camera man for shrinking down and going in as a undercover wasp to bring us this footage!
Bug Pokemon evolve fast...
Francisco Noyola woah! A horde of Beedrill appeared!
Philip Cheung yeah that's true
Mewtwo is *S H I V E R I N G I N FEAR*
The drawback is that most of the Bug Pokemon are horrible except for Beedrill, Scizor, Heracross and Pinsir

I feel like theres something crawling on me.
wdym i like this
Thats what Godzilla said when he saw the size of those hornets and retreated to the sea lol
Disliked your comment for being cringe.
grub: this isn’t even my final form
Hornets: Ah, the babies are fed!Time to work again! Haha
Babies: *S C R A P E*
Hornets:Hehe... Yeah, what was i thinking! I need to feed the little ****s again
🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@niceyoutubehandle shush it is funny we are trying to enjoy the comment
I love this comment.

Gurl you pray to every fucking god
Evil? not really. it's called nature.
I am
Evil? maybe. Choatic natural? definately.
The only evil is human beings messing with nature’s genetic makeup.
Fascinating as this was, this was definitely the wrong video for me to watch while trying to have breakfast. . .
Mr X You’re eating babies. Weird ass.
Mr X lmfao “ royal food” might as well eat the queens shit.
I'm watching this before lunch, bad life choice
i am grub
so small and white

i will take flight

😂😂😂😂😂😂
I love these videos. How do they get the cameras in there?
shimgoody lots of insect footage is actually created in a studio with proper lighting.
Sony vegas editing
shimgoody like porcupines make baby's
very carefully
100% CGI
Great narration and even better footage!
Larva: DADDY!! FEED ME!! FEEEED MEEE!!!
Adult: I'm trying my best son! you have millions of brothers and sisters!!!
Adult: NOW FEED ME BACK
Larva: Okay!!!
Larva: THROWS UP
Adult: Eats throw up
@Fake Furry Wayne larvae in hylics 2 be like
It is basically just sisters. Males are very rare and they only mate and die.
This is amazing , I just love nature and bees have always fascinating to me , will definitely be tuning in from now on 😍 showing love ❤️
holy moly I love the warm lighting this is comfy af
its like the alien film all over again
This is why I love insects, especially hornets, it’s so interesting to see how they grow
Honeybees in winter: "hug each other quick!"
Hornets in winter: *BE GONE THOOOOT!!*
that was pretty cool. I wish it was a little longer...
what a brilliant video.
loved it wish had of been longer...
Fascinating insight in to the Hornet. It was a pleasure to be able to see this in close up.
I must say the opening made me giggle a little. The music choice and narration were interesting. I thought it was a beautiful insight in the life of this creature. The “Killer Hornet” as you call it, could have been portrayed in a less ‘ALIEN’ esq fashion. I thought it was a tad overkill, with the dramatic music.
We witnessed them being very caring, yet protective too. Just like us Humans...cough...splutter 😉
Thank you to the people that filmed this, it was wonderful to witness 🌈
0:15 sounds like a lightsaber
0:17 when you and your bee homies do your secret shake
Sick ASMR video
Worker:Do you have more of that protein shake bro? Cool!
I'm thankful for this channel lots of education and grate insightful for nature lovers
I wish this information wasn't presented through a lens of danger, these are just animals living and surviving the way they evolved to, they aren't evil for it.
Listen to a BBC documentry instead of an American one
i agree completely
There is no such thing as evil in nature there is only survival
Try stepping near or on the entrance to that nest, and then say that there's no danger to a hornet hive. They're not "evil," per se, but they are definitely dangerous.
they look cute inside their chambers
They look like egg like egg yolk
The voice of the man is so awesome... He really made this video interesting ❤️
Wakes up childhood memorie. Had good times as young in my hive with ma brothers
Weird feelings at 0:45
So many nopes
These creatures are beautiful
Whoa this channel is amazing
Amazing! I'm here because I've found out an old deserted hornet nest outside my house. To hold a nest in your hands is unbelieve. Nature's treasure. 🏅
*Hornet queen after laying an egg*
: *" There is another "*
Rest well little sisters soon you will be warriors
Excellent video. One thing I noticed--the hornet shown clinging to the bamboo stem at about 0:02 to 0:06 looks like Vespa crabro, which overlaps the range of Vespa mandarinia, instead of the latter species. The abdominal bands on Vespa crabro in the Far East are typically thinner than those on specimens from Europe (from where the species found its way to North America), and the head isn't as "swollen" behind the eyes on Vespa crabro as it is in Vespa mandarinia.
The grubs are actually kind of cute I think...
The Mighty Honey Badger Finally someone agrees with me.
Ikr
yup
ya but what they turn into ain't cute
A Random Troll In The Comments what? 😒
HOLY CRAP THATS AWESOME! the adults feed the babies and the babies make food!
This shit is too complicated
This type of essential vedio always help us to know more details on subjects
Fascinating video! Kudos to the camera man.
the grubs look like eggs
Me: using silk, neat!
Probably me but dumber: OMG ARE THEY TURNING INTO BUTTERFLIES!
Thanks for great video
What's impressive about those creatures, are they re teamworks, perfect synchronisation, and know what to do.
Idc if its an extraordinary creatures , but if i see one , my slippers , or insect repellent is prepared .....
I would really like to see the process which happens inside the cocoon.
The larva’s body will dissolve into a liquid, that will reshape itself (similar to molding clay) into the shape of an adult hornet, and then sit there until her new body form solidifies.
@@princenadroj9766 puberty sounds rough no wonder why hornets are flying balls of hate
Flea Baguette yeah, imagine having your entire body liquefied and completely changing form, only to realize that you’ll spend your whole life essentially being enslaved to your Queen.
Stunning footage!
Exactly what I want to see right before bed, thank you.
Wish they would do a similar video for xenomorphs lol
I tried to smoke a hornets nest to find the honey but they just flew into the tube and stung me in my face, I think I just swallowed one
Hornets don't make honey, that's bees.
Raistlin Majere you swallowed 3 hornets! 0_0
I’ll only accept bees since they make honey. Hornets are there just to kill you.
@@Irkkan only the Japanese giant Hornet kills you (and the poor bees) . Hornets like the European Hornet don't sting you for no reason. Hornets even trying to escape from you if you don't attack them or are to close to their nest. Also the European Hornet kills wasps that sting you for no reason. + the sting of a (European) Hornet is the same as of a normal wasp. So why would you hate them or even attack them? Humans are so dump sometimes...
this is very useful and I get knowledge about bees from this video
i would love to see a video on the evolution of this process
At 1:45 "they do drugs"
Hornets are just bees with cheat codes.
Narrator voice is deep..really sells it...aaaand cut to cute music and smithsonian 'It's brighter here' ending clip...man, like watching a horror movie death scene switch over to a sesame street song in mid kill. Mood killer 😂
I'm just extremely fascinated with how it was possible to even get a camera into this, and get all these angles and close ups...... lol
I need a longer video
1. Set up a nest
2. Get noticed by a human
3. Gets sprayed with a hose
4. Rinse and repeat
My brain: Dont pick gross
Me: PiCkS It
The video triggered my tripophobia sense
Imagine a human baby scraping their teeth against the table as a Demand for food. And after they're done being fed theyll spit up a protein shake, Of which the rest of the family consumes in order to stay alive
Just stunning ,how fascinating animals are
it looks like a egg that wants to bite back
The narrator makes it feel like I'm watching a horror film.
Fitting 🤷
Just the sound of hornets make me panic.
You're profile pic says itall.
@@orlando1392 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Sa-Live-ary gland?
The narrator for this sounds like Black Sifichi and I love it. Such a great voice. ❤
Horror movies:AHHHH
This video:AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
Live for ze swarm.
Who else prefers a calm british voice over this scary dramatic sounding narrator?
This creepy voice actually suits the nature of the hornets
The voice makes this intriguing
I wonder how scared the little
guy recording the video must have been
I think the grubs are cute.
I'm weird.
Sam Hem me too
Crazy how they have the instincts to do that.
Beautiful creatures
I give the person a thumbs up for having the ball to go deep inside the hive and take a video without flinching
I have come from 4 years in the future to let you know that is not how these documentaries are made. Much like sitcoms, the outside and inside views are not of the same place. They use one location that is easy to access for the inside shots and they use the outside shots to give you the impression of a natural environment around the "set".
Id spray the nest with garden hoses at full blast and feed the larvae to nearby hungry lizards. Iam Robin Hood to lizards
BURN IT!
This was SOOO Interesting.
At least someone is thriving
The real question is
How are they recording without getting stung
Easy, it was recorded on a tiny camera by a helpful bro hornet 😂
wonder what happen if an Ant Army find this nest or any ants that matter, who's agree with me to see that happen.
Depends on what kind of ant imo. These hornets can slaughter colonies of bees while being greatly outnumbered.
Zirie Benton III bullet ant vs killer hornet?
His voice makes it more epic...
Thats crazy how intelligent they are, just natural animal instincts is crazy alone.
