    I am from Malta, Europe - a small island in the Mediterranean. We are having huge problems with giant hornets attacking beehives and the bees themselves. Some beehives had suffered more than 50% loss. You need to stay on the watch for these giant hornets, they are lethal and destroy the bees.

      piece of advise, use mesh fencing narrow enough to block hornets and large enough to let bees pass through, place it in a way bees have to pass it through, they'll be a lil bit confused at first but will quickly figure a way through, this way hornets will less likely catch bees, as they tend to hunt bees whom just landed or about to take off, at the entrance.

    Wax moths are a harbringer of a dying hive. The moment you start seeing their caterpillars the hive is likely doomed. For western beekeepers we usual consolidate the hive down to a size where the bees can defend it. This is an advantage for a langstroth hive versus a pile hive as framed systems have a better chance of spotting them early.
    I chuckled at the end as Mayu has shown herself to be brave and bold with bees (including foreign stingless bees) and vicious giant hornets, but wax moths made her jump! :)
    I often feed comb with wax moths to my chickens as they enjoy them.

      They usually won't bother you if you don't give them a reason to. Things that set them off: Vibrations (they don't have ears/can't hear, so vibrations tend to set them off), kicking the food they were foraging on, swatting at them or approaching their hive.
      I lived in Japan for a year, saw one live giant hornet the entire time I lived there, the others I saw were dead. The live one was foraging off of some fruit and no one was messing with it.
      Now, that's not to say I would casually hang around with giant hornets or anything, but, after watching videos about hornets, I have a greater respect for them, they're actually really good at getting rid of pests that humans don't like. I've been stung by yellow jackets, several times, but I've never been swarmed and attacked by dozens of them. I still flinch when I see ciacada killers where I live. Mostly because of their size relative to all of the other insects in my area.

      As a Beekeeper in the US. Yeah, the wax moths got the hive and made them abscond.

They really dig into the wood during the cocoon phase so they really are a keeper's worst nightmare.

    Have you tried mixing a small amount of borax with soda in a dish?
    Bees don't like soda pop but hornets do. The whole hornet nest can be killed.

      Keeping native Japanese honey bees is done typically by hobbyists. It's possible to make some money though, because the honey of Japanese honey bees is usually 3 times more than the honey from Western bees.

    perhaps you could build some kind of perimeter fencing around the area with a mesh that only allows bees to pass through

  • @paulg444

    I would recommend tacking the trap to the side of the wooden structure of the bee hive . The adhesive will stay sticky longer. The air in an environment like that is saturated with pollen and microscopic bio mass. Keeping the adhesive vertical will catch many more hornets over a time.

    What kind of wood are the hives made out of? Is there a type of wood that the wax moths wont chew in to such as cedar?

      These hives are usually made out of Japanese cedar.

    They KNOW what's up after a certain pheromone is released or they simply observe NOT to go on to the adhesive sheet.. The Hornets are very smart..

    @kimmathis1945 Год назад +1

    To all the nincompoops worried about the hornets: Japanese bees are capable of defending themselves against these monsters. Dozens of bees cling to a hornet at once and generate heat that eventually kills it. This process is taking hours and puts stress on the bees too, which shortens their lifespan. The glue yields the same result without involving the bees…

    11:45 I am amused that the fearless lady who is completely unfazed by the giant murder hornets that strikes terror into my hearth still react squeamish to the larva when she pulls of the top (or bottom?). Still a lady at heart! Maybe consider getting some chickens? They would love having a go at pecking out the larva, would be quite the treat for them and make your job easier as you can just leave the boards with them for a bit. Maybe some neighbors have chickens? Or ducks or other fowl.

    They discovered some of these hornets in Washington State. They managed to capture them in a trap, tag them with a radio transmitter. Released the hornets, followed them to their nests and destroyed the nests.

    I'm not a beekeeper but I couldn't help but watch to the end, great vid, thanks! those hornets are tenacious. I thought the bee hives are hornet proof but then I learned the hornets can chomp through the wood if given the chance. the mouse sticky pads are a genius defense. then I thought the hornets were bad enough, but then there are also wax moth larvae, oh no! the drama! 😯 good thing the expert and caring beekeeper is on the case, all will be well 😎

  • @sashidozerako262

    the worms crawling on the comb at 8:55 look a lot like Wax moth larva. Might also want to be careful of those, they are very destructive of bee hives and destroy comb integrity. Great video!

  • @tuberroot1112
    @tuberroot1112 Год назад

    A glass jar with a relatively large mouth is sufficient to catch these wasps. They are so heavy that they cannot fly upwards. Once they are in they are stuck since they cannot climb up the smooth glass surface. If they are attracted to some over ripe fruit ( grapes, figs etc. ) in a couple of inches of water at the bottom, it is a fatal trap for them. Watching them clamber on top of each other to stay out of the water is as satisfying as watching them stuck on this glue plate. ;)

    Konnichiwa @Japanese natural beekeeping !
    I have no idea if you already have accomplished that on your channel, but i think it would be a great ideas to make a future video about those wax moths you encountered there.
    How to deal with them ? How to prevent them from coming ?
    Is there any Natural add to the beehives'wood that won't bother bees, but repels some invasive species ? that will not let Moths establish into it ?
    Keep up the good work ;)
