Thank you so much for removing this giant nest. I wish I could of been home that day to see it in person! They have also definitely cleared out and they don't dive bomb me anymore. Not what I wanted my garage to be famous for but glad they are gone.
@@HornetKingOfficial This is awesome because I just had to deal with a yellow jacket nest in the ground in my front yard and I just started watching your videos and I love it.
That is some jasper (Common/German wasp) nest, must be one of the largest one I have ever seen, I am surprised you don't use raw ammonia to kill them, When you come across hornets, they are big as your thumb. And you don't want to get stung by them, it's extremely painful
I was thinking the exact same thing! Thinking about the effort I make to ensure I don't upset the 1 little wasp that gets into my house so I don't get stung
What’s amazing to me is that the squirrel is a lot more friendly then the so-called domesticated chickens. The chickens will barely let you pet them once or twice before they strut away from you. Animals that aren’t born from eggs are always friendlier.
I had chickens growing up. We used to toss Japanese beetles in buckets of sand and those ladies would stand there at the bucket ready to pounce as soon as a beetle clawed it’s way to the top. Chickens love bugs, no joke. I wish o had chickens now.
Why the hell do I watch these lol, I have a huge fear of bees, wasps, hornets, etc. I always finch whenever I hear a sound in this too, so I understand your pain...
I have goosebumps just hearing them buzz. You deserve a medal getting anywhere near to them never mind up close and personal. Im allergic to stings and bites so avoid all insects, arachnids etc in general.
@@christnt645ytabee keeping suits are not infallible, especially with hornets/yellowjackets. He talks on the channel about being stung in his suit all the time
I've watched many of your videos and have learned a lot about wasps, their lives, their habits, benefits, and hazards. It's been an education. Your narration is interesting and informative. I just watched about half of a very long video by a fellow in Australia(DAP). There's a huge difference between your knowledge and ethics and his showmanship. He lost me when he had two feet of comb, paper, and dead wasps on the floor and exclaimed, "I feel sorry for the homeowner, I'm not picking that up." No pride in his work. That made me a subscriber to your channel. Keep up your good work
@@63mckenzie It's amazing isn't it. I remember seeing my 1st wasp nest, I had gone into my dads shed to get some thing and there was one right in the centre of the roof....wasn't there other week that i noticed, was only maybe the size of two fists.
My family home sold recently and during renovations over the years there was a hornets nest left there oddly enough not one sting over the 50 years, my parents had a wood burning stove for the winter and these bees never made a mess or a noise. It was smaller than this nest and the colors changed over the years. The heat from the stove pipe kept them going for decades in upstate NY winters. Amazing video!
European Hornets are generally more chilled out than yellow jackets. But some nests are more sensitive than others. I have one in my garden which is very docile. They are very slow to anger which is a blessing for me.
A honey bee swarm arrived in my garden one summer. I thought the blue sky had clouded over black! They settled in a tree for 3 days and thankfully moved on. I called out a beekeeper and she put out a box for them nest in and move but they refused. The way they suddenly moved was just amazing to watch. Hope they found somewhere to make a nest.
@@Postmodern_Jesse_James Bees are fine, Hornets on the other hand are a-holes, we discovered a tiny nest of them in our backyard a few months ago because I had been sitting down when 10 or something hornets came and stung me! Needless to say we sprayed the nest, luckily it was a small one and only had about 50 or so guys living it in it so we did it ourselves but yeah hornets are nasty.
I absolutely loved the one bug at the beginning on the wall. He was totally chill the whole time, and even turns to look up to see what was going on. Great video shots all around!
The one on the wall? That looked like a boxelder bug to me. They are harmless to people but sometimes make their way into buildings to find a spot to sleep for the winter.
Does anyone know why he didnt feed the adult ones to the chickens? They are nice proteins and if you keep the sack tightly closed for an hour, they are likely dead.
I was born on a farm in 1944 in the Berkshires of MA. Hornets and wasps were always something we were afraid of. We didn't have the fast acting poisons in sprat cans today. I Iearned more about wasps and hornets than I ever knew before - thanks. Thumbs up subscribed.

@@bassemghorab no need to panic they wont sting unless provoked- or unless you're next to their nest which is unlikely if you're at home. You also recognise them from far away because of the way the fly: Asian Hornets are smaller and can hover whereas European ones are slightly bigger and can't.
I love how the squirrel takes the guts or whatever it is out of the wasp larvae. So cool! Love watching your videos and seeing your lovely animals at the end :) God bless
I gotta say, they were pretty cool about it and didn't seem to mind their home being destroyed by some giant in a white suit. They were like "that's understandable, can you show us the nearest exit?"
"I say we nuke the site from orbit, it's the only way to be sure." Seriously I hate Hornets. When I was a 10 year old kid I was swimming in my neighbor's aboveground pool right when it got warm enough to swim. What we didn't know was that there was a hornet nest underneath the metal cap at the top of the pool wall with at least 20 hornets in it. The waves me made put them all in the water and I surfaced right in the middle of them. Hate them to this day.
As someone who has a massive fear of wasps and bees, I had the most anxiety I've had in years watching this video. Nice job getting those wasps out! Edit- me talking about my fear of wasps and bees has gotten me to the most likes I've had, thank you kind strangers!
I'm slightly less or more afraid of bees given the species. In summer, whenever you try to go up the driveway and out the gate by my house, you get greeted by friendly bees. Meanwhile yellow jackets..... yeah no.
Watching this, all I could think was “it’s the wasp millennium falcon” Also super cool to see the squirrel discarding the intestines-cool that they know to do that! Learned so much today! 😊
It's thanks to you that I recognized the signs of there being wasps in our front porch walls this summer! Except... we kinda decided to just leave them alone even after we found their entrance because they were the most incredibly docile wasps we've ever seen, and if we're gonna have wasps around anyway, we'd rather these ones spread than the ones we usually get. It was sort of a mistake because riiiiight before it started getting cold, they chewed all the way inside and now we're not sure what to do about the wall, or any of it really.
I'd see if you can identify if it's a species that moves after a year. Then you can just wait till next year and remove the nest and close all holes, until then try to keep out of the way. The less food there is the more agressive they get
@@rosemoon9219 That's a good idea. I'm not sure how to identify the type they are, though. They're smaller than the regular paper wasps that just make the 1 exposed disc of comb - except for the queens which are a little bigger.
I once snatched a hornets nest and threw it in a garbage bag, then put it in my garage freezer. I went to check it about 4 months later, I cut it open to see all the intricacies... Every one of those hornets were still alive. I've never messed with nature since. Damn nature. You scary.
And I continue to surprise myself. I am hooked. Never would have guessed how entertained I would be by watching this! This could honestly be a show on Discovery or something!
I've been watching this channel for the past 2 months, I clean windows and I really appreciate the time and energy you put into this, it's also helped me not get stung!
The lonely stingbug sits pretty calm on the wall most of the time while hell is on the lose :3 I'm always amazed by the "paper" houses you have to cut up - as a person who have been always living in a strong, brick building. If I would like to open up the wall, I would need a pickaxe or a very big hammer.
@Mr Guy They do get inbetween the brick layers of our brickhouses, our pest control just drills a hole in the brick and fills the cavety with poison. Waits a week. Checks if there is still activity. If there is, they get a seccond shower. Otherwise it gets left in there. It's imposible to get to it. Or you'll be making a lot more damage then the nest is making.
It’s one thing to have to deal with the wasps and the removal of the nest,, but then add in the smell, which I imagine smells like death, I don’t know you do it. I’ve worked in healthcare for 16+ years, was wound care specialist for many of those years, and being in ORs, wound care clinics, nursing homes, etc, I’ve seen (and smelled) my fair share of putrid, and horrific conditions, and the one thing I never got used to, was the smell of rotting and decaying matter (flesh). Hats off to you, Bret….
@@carwashslayer4235 They're probably like "welp, some giant is attacking my house and we can't sting him, may as well just commit suicide, if I survive, maybe he won't see me & I can play dead..."
That's amazing I'm a pest controller in the UK. But never see nests this big that's unreal man. Kudos to ya dude. Doing a great job. So satisfying when the customers are happy you have got rid of them lol
One of my biggest questions that I usually have over these absolutely massive nests in homes is how the home owner doesn't notice or do anything about it until it gets that bad. I would imagine you would hear and smell them at the least.
Hmm, I wondered about this as well…maybe because they build nests in areas of the house that the home owners don’t spend as much time in? Like the garage or the roof/ceiling area. Idk for sure because I think seeing even one hornet is already enough of a cause for alarm and immediately hiring a person like Hornet King to get rid of them.
Well this was an empty dormer apartment above a garage. It looked empty so I imagine no one goes in there. If you look at the homeowners reply, they did say the bees had been bombing them when they walked outside so it sounds like the garage is separate and this apartment is above that garage and not in their actual house. The homeowner did reply and their reply is pinned at the top as the first comment
Looks so peaceful n relaxing. I remember when my grandfather had hogs, chicken's, boat fishing, rabbit dogs hunting. And his best friend had coon dogs. Some of the best times of my life. I wish this generation could experience things like that instead of social media. 🙏
Wow...it's like you just opened a can of B-17 Bomber whoop-ass. That low frequency hum from the buzzing wings over my stereo system sounds like an air-raid of death (or lots of pain, lol)!
I'd say the venom of a European Hornet sting takes probably around 4 or 5 stings per kilo of body mass to kill. There were more than enough in there to kill several people.
Hey Hornet King, got to to say mate, the videos are great. In a really odd way they are very interesting, and relaxing to watch after a long day. Give you credit on how you hold the camera and torch in one hand whilst doing all the work with the other hand is commendable. Keep up the great work. Hope you're back isn't taking too much strain from doing this all the time.
I was reading up on these things, they also hunt Cicadas. I'm thinking that's why they have been so voluminous this year! The massive numbers of cicadas provided food supplies for the nests to just balloon in size and population. I bring trains into Enola Yard from Altoona, and We we're seeing populations of the hornets as far west as Newport. When I say populations, I don't mean a random bug here or there. I mean aerial armadas of these things. We don't normally see them at all. The other night I found a few on the nose of my engine as I was putting the train away. I used some ice water from our cooler to shock and slow their metabolism, and caught two of them in a water bottle. They weren't happy when they warmed up in the cab of the engine. But I missed what I think was the queen... Flying around it's hard to gauge size, but was definitely bigger than the two I caught. I almost feel bad for all the queens that will try to build colonies next year... It's gonna be hard to get that much food without a massive cicada crop to harvest. By the way, I think the European Hornet videos have become my favorites. I was surprised how docile they appeared once the nest was cracked open. They really didn't appear to swarm you.. almost as of they knew there was no point in trying to defend the nest.
Wow, that nest was sooooo huge! Gave me the shivers just watching all those angry buzzing hornets. Hope you're ok, you haven't been around since this video. 🙂
" angry buzzing hornets " are not angry just confused and sad their home is being destroyed, they are very nice and eat mostly flies and mosquitoes as opposed to the Asian Hornet invading the U.K., which decapitates bees by the dozen, Vespa Velutina.
I’m addicted to your content. I just love seeing the size of the nest when it’s uncovered and the satisfaction of seeing the wasps being vacuumed up. Not so keen on the squirming larvae though, but can’t seem to tear my eyes away from them. I learn a lot about them from your videos too. I’m in awe of the bond between you and the little squirrel that is comfortably perched on your knee, how special😊
I respect all the bee/wasp/hornet 'tubers, with that being said... your video presentations and smooth commentary are levels above the others. No disrespect at all to others... I mean that. I noticed you: bleeped a tiny verbal "slip" (keeping it family friendly ! :) ), explain clearly and calmly, remain respectful and conscious of your customers environment , no complaining about heat/driving/ access...etc , maintained good audio/video for your customers and followers . If I had choice any service at all to eradicate a hornet type issue, YOU would get the job first because of all of those things. You sir, apply your trade with a relaxed confidence and it is refreshing to see. Subscribed !!!
“She was pretty impressed with the size of this thing I pulled out” 😂 let’s hope the hornet queen doesn’t see this 😂 great work as always !!! Not sure where you are in pa but if your ever around state college for a removal and want some help lmk !!!
I'll say it again... Balls of solid brass! What a ferocious amount of hornets! You got to be very happy with the manufacturer of your bee suit? The chickens seem to be appreciative. Is that one of Humphry's younguns?
This is definitely in my top 3 removals! Do the chicks ever get stung? I've always had intense fear of wasps and hornets. After watching your videos I'm a lot less fearful because people like you exist in this world. Keep up the amazing work you do!
That is the most enormous sized hornet's nest I've ever seen. The noise of those hornets in between hoovering was so loud in my headphones. Being from England, European hornets are the native breed here and in the wild they are relatively docile but that many in someone's house was pretty scary. Love watching the chickens feast on the larva though. And watching your squirrel feed from your hands was a cute end to the hornet storm 😉
Mr Hornet King is not just entertaining, he also is an educator... Cheers matey from me crocheting while watching your amazing video's! The design on the comb....stunning
On another note: I’ve learned so much from your channel. I really don’t waste much time watching the other wasp removal videos but I did see one the other day. The nest was massive and there was a queen on the windowsill and he went into some thing about that’s what you want to get, the queen, she’s the troublemaker, etc. So I had to comment: “That was A queen, not THE queen. THE queen is buried in the comb somewhere.” Thanks for all you do. I find all of this fascinating!
I have wasps as pets every season, just because they nest within my windows. They aren't causing problems and the most I've ever seen a season were around 30. I've grown to like them, even with a potential allergy on my part. I am the least scared person in regards to wasps that I know of, but this was fucking terrifying.
I like wasps. Wasps are chill. You leave them be, they'll leave you be. Hornets are assholes though. And most bumblebees will let you pet them while they're busy feeding off a flower. Also I too like bugs. Stinkbugs like holing up in my house for the winter so I gather them and put them into a tank with food and water until spring. They're fun to watch. I also remember going to my mom's work when I was little. The little lobby was like 90°, so the floor was FLOODED with Boxelder bugs. I mean EVERYWHERE. There must have been over a thousand in the 10'x6' entryway. It was fun to watch them. Bugs are free entertainment.
@@GetDougDimmadomed I'm more of a bumblebee kinda guy myself. So calm and kinda funny. Never been stung by a bee, been stung by a number of wasps minding my own business walking down the street. I think they are insect terrorists.
@UC_c0vdIUUbIbYbDEyWvdfNA wasps are fucking assholes too. The amount of times I’ve been stung for no reason is insane. I think you might be thinking about bees.
thats pretty crazy, i am a pest controller in the uk and I'd never remove a nest like this without treating it with an insecticide a few days prior.. ever get stung through the suit? your a brave man
Times that by 50 was the biggest one I encountered in the roof of a barn, every year you could stand on a nearby hill and watch the entire swarm coming back to the nest like clockwork. Just this huge black cloud, it was terrifying and impressive.
I found this channel randomly a few months ago and now I cant stop watching. Really cool to see and learn about wasps/hornets. Keep the awesome content coming 👍
My family has had that same ladder since I can remember. We’ve had it for at least 15 years and it still works and looks brand new. It is an absolute beast, you can use it for everything. Extremely heavy duty while also being lightweight, perfect versatility. Can’t recommend it enough.
Wow, this was an amazing watch. I have such a phobia of these dudes, I couldn’t even imagine being so up close with them! Also, good on you for using the nest to feed your animals, making sure it doesn’t go to waste.

I like snakes! Will avoid the venomous ones and be VERY careful around any wild ones at all, but I'll hang out with domesticated ones. Hornets NOPE
Yes I agreey
"I say we nuke the site from orbit, it's the only way to be sure."
Seriously I hate Hornets. When I was a 10 year old kid I was swimming in my neighbor's aboveground pool right when it got warm enough to swim. What we didn't know was that there was a hornet nest underneath the metal cap at the top of the pool wall with at least 20 hornets in it. The waves me made put them all in the water and I surfaced right in the middle of them. Hate them to this day.
As someone who has a massive fear of wasps and bees, I had the most anxiety I've had in years watching this video. Nice job getting those wasps out!
Edit- me talking about my fear of wasps and bees has gotten me to the most likes I've had, thank you kind strangers!
I like Bees, but wasps and hornets - eek!
I'm slightly less or more afraid of bees given the species. In summer, whenever you try to go up the driveway and out the gate by my house, you get greeted by friendly bees. Meanwhile yellow jackets..... yeah no.
Trust me my friend watch the video with headphones for the best experience 😁
No, I dont think I will
Oh hey it's charles!
The squirrel knows how to clean each grub before eating lol cute
My favorite part of your videos is when you feed and talk to your chickens and squirrel!! LOL
I've never seen so many hornets still living in your vacuum at the end of a removal. Further proof to how huge the nest was.
Wow! Freak show hive! It sounded like you were ripping a rotten stump apart when you were separating comb layers.
I LOVE the sound of the envelope and comb coming apart!
You're exactly right Randy!!!
@@HornetKingOfficial has that odd squeaky sound, almost plasticy.
Now introducing the European Hornet Nest the size of actual Europe!
@@HornetKingOfficial Add that to the ASMR playlist!
I’m screaming “GET THE HOSE!” Every time you pulled back another layer of the envelope.
Ikr??? I wouldn't have turned it off even once😅
Watching this, all I could think was “it’s the wasp millennium falcon”
Also super cool to see the squirrel discarding the intestines-cool that they know to do that! Learned so much today! 😊
It's thanks to you that I recognized the signs of there being wasps in our front porch walls this summer! Except... we kinda decided to just leave them alone even after we found their entrance because they were the most incredibly docile wasps we've ever seen, and if we're gonna have wasps around anyway, we'd rather these ones spread than the ones we usually get. It was sort of a mistake because riiiiight before it started getting cold, they chewed all the way inside and now we're not sure what to do about the wall, or any of it really.
I'd see if you can identify if it's a species that moves after a year. Then you can just wait till next year and remove the nest and close all holes, until then try to keep out of the way. The less food there is the more agressive they get
@@rosemoon9219 That's a good idea. I'm not sure how to identify the type they are, though. They're smaller than the regular paper wasps that just make the 1 exposed disc of comb - except for the queens which are a little bigger.
@@Dreamscape195 now is the time they start to die off if it's for a one year cycle so observe if the activity decreases
I'm very allergic to bees and wasps, but they're still so cool to see from the safety of my computer. Thank you for posting these so I can binge them.
Thanks for watching!
I just wanted to say that did you get all the bees out of your house
I once snatched a hornets nest and threw it in a garbage bag, then put it in my garage freezer. I went to check it about 4 months later, I cut it open to see all the intricacies... Every one of those hornets were still alive. I've never messed with nature since. Damn nature. You scary.
oh my god u must have been terrified
They must have been doing the same thing that they do in the winter to survive
And I continue to surprise myself. I am hooked. Never would have guessed how entertained I would be by watching this! This could honestly be a show on Discovery or something!
Ikr.
I've been watching this channel for the past 2 months, I clean windows and I really appreciate the time and energy you put into this, it's also helped me not get stung!
Thanks for watching!
@@HornetKingOfficial Great video !
The lonely stingbug sits pretty calm on the wall most of the time while hell is on the lose :3
I'm always amazed by the "paper" houses you have to cut up - as a person who have been always living in a strong, brick building. If I would like to open up the wall, I would need a pickaxe or a very big hammer.
@Mr Guy They do get inbetween the brick layers of our brickhouses, our pest control just drills a hole in the brick and fills the cavety with poison. Waits a week. Checks if there is still activity. If there is, they get a seccond shower. Otherwise it gets left in there. It's imposible to get to it. Or you'll be making a lot more damage then the nest is making.
Your interior walls are brick?
@@traviscoates6878 Yes, they are. So no vasp or rodent could build a nest here.
11:07 I've been waiting for this moment for so long!😆

Didn’t think I’d find you here 😂
@@PepeBrawlStars 👁👃👁
It’s one thing to have to deal with the wasps and the removal of the nest,, but then add in the smell, which I imagine smells like death, I don’t know you do it. I’ve worked in healthcare for 16+ years, was wound care specialist for many of those years, and being in ORs, wound care clinics, nursing homes, etc, I’ve seen (and smelled) my fair share of putrid, and horrific conditions, and the one thing I never got used to, was the smell of rotting and decaying matter (flesh). Hats off to you, Bret….
Lol'ed when the first hornet fell out and buzzed briefly before going "splat". Wasn't expecting that! 2:32 timestamp.
Hahaha that's funny
I wonder why they just fall and practically kill themselves
@@carwashslayer4235 They're probably like "welp, some giant is attacking my house and we can't sting him, may as well just commit suicide, if I survive, maybe he won't see me & I can play dead..."
@@robdog1245 Ooooffff. Wow
I thought that splat sound was the sludge that was there hitting the ground, not that one wasp
I still think it's funny how chickens will eat literally anything and everything they can get their beaks on.
they already love bugs
So true
If you got a nickle for every hornet you vacuumed up there, you'd have a LOT of nickles!
Id rather have 100 dollar bill for every hornet! lol
@Hornet King I’d rather have five hundred dollars for every hornet
With the numbers from this year, I'd gladly settle for a $5 for each one.
@@HornetKingOfficial The new Elon Musk.
It really struck me that the squirrel cleans the larvae before eating them! What an amazing creature
That's amazing I'm a pest controller in the UK. But never see nests this big that's unreal man. Kudos to ya dude. Doing a great job. So satisfying when the customers are happy you have got rid of them lol
Everything is bigger in the Us
@@OCC_Plumbing_and_Restorations like egos 😏
@cool dude like drivers' stupidity
@@OCC_Plumbing_and_Restorations Especially the people
@@fatfr0g570 Very true
One of my biggest questions that I usually have over these absolutely massive nests in homes is how the home owner doesn't notice or do anything about it until it gets that bad. I would imagine you would hear and smell them at the least.
OK. Thank you for expressing that same concern. Like... what the actual hell?
Hmm, I wondered about this as well…maybe because they build nests in areas of the house that the home owners don’t spend as much time in? Like the garage or the roof/ceiling area. Idk for sure because I think seeing even one hornet is already enough of a cause for alarm and immediately hiring a person like Hornet King to get rid of them.
@@rufiredup90 You do make a good point about bein in areas of not so much use though.
I imagine some of the time it’s a second house that isn’t visited often so it can just build up
Well this was an empty dormer apartment above a garage. It looked empty so I imagine no one goes in there. If you look at the homeowners reply, they did say the bees had been bombing them when they walked outside so it sounds like the garage is separate and this apartment is above that garage and not in their actual house. The homeowner did reply and their reply is pinned at the top as the first comment
Feeding the squirrel could have honestly been a video in and of itself and probably gotten a ton of views too. That was adorable.
Looks so peaceful n relaxing. I remember when my grandfather had hogs, chicken's, boat fishing, rabbit dogs hunting. And his best friend had coon dogs. Some of the best times of my life. I wish this generation could experience things like that instead of social media. 🙏
It's so adorable.. Feeding the animals after ur hard days work! Talk about bringing dinner home.. They loved it!
Imagine accidentally taking out Hornet Ferdinand and starting the Great Wasp War
Swapping fluids Yum Yum for the hornets and wasps
ROLMAO
Good to know I’m not the only history nerd watching this
Wasp War I...
Wasp war 2: Adolf wasper
We love when the professional says "Holy shit". You know its bad ahaha
Hahaha, I left all my exclamations in because I wanted everyone to know I was shocked as to how big it was while doing it! lol
I thought the exact thing!
They don't seem to be attacking you that much to be fair, most of them seem to want to get out via the window lol
Wow...it's like you just opened a can of B-17 Bomber whoop-ass. That low frequency hum from the buzzing wings over my stereo system sounds like an air-raid of death (or lots of pain, lol)!
I'd say the venom of a European Hornet sting takes probably around 4 or 5 stings per kilo of body mass to kill. There were more than enough in there to kill several people.
Hey Hornet King, got to to say mate, the videos are great. In a really odd way they are very interesting, and relaxing to watch after a long day. Give you credit on how you hold the camera and torch in one hand whilst doing all the work with the other hand is commendable. Keep up the great work. Hope you're back isn't taking too much strain from doing this all the time.
Thanks so much, my friend!
@@HornetKingOfficial what do you do with the vakuumed hornets? Do you even have a specific place or way?
@@martinjohannes880 he leaves them out for a local skunk. Not joking.
@@martinjohannes880 he has a compost pile on the back of his property. He feeds the larvae to his chickens, squirrel and other critters.
@@HornetKingOfficialyou are the bee's knees 💯
These hornets are incredible nest builders
For sure!
It’s totally a shame when their “hard work” comes crashing down. NOT!
Doing all that work while holding a camera. I'm impressed
I was reading up on these things, they also hunt Cicadas. I'm thinking that's why they have been so voluminous this year! The massive numbers of cicadas provided food supplies for the nests to just balloon in size and population.
I bring trains into Enola Yard from Altoona, and We we're seeing populations of the hornets as far west as Newport. When I say populations, I don't mean a random bug here or there. I mean aerial armadas of these things. We don't normally see them at all.
The other night I found a few on the nose of my engine as I was putting the train away. I used some ice water from our cooler to shock and slow their metabolism, and caught two of them in a water bottle. They weren't happy when they warmed up in the cab of the engine. But I missed what I think was the queen... Flying around it's hard to gauge size, but was definitely bigger than the two I caught.
I almost feel bad for all the queens that will try to build colonies next year... It's gonna be hard to get that much food without a massive cicada crop to harvest.
By the way, I think the European Hornet videos have become my favorites.
I was surprised how docile they appeared once the nest was cracked open. They really didn't appear to swarm you.. almost as of they knew there was no point in trying to defend the nest.
Wow, that nest was sooooo huge! Gave me the shivers just watching all those angry buzzing hornets. Hope you're ok, you haven't been around since this video. 🙂
I've posted 12 videos since this one 😉😆
lol
" angry buzzing hornets " are not angry just confused and sad their home is being destroyed, they are very nice and eat mostly flies and mosquitoes as opposed to the Asian Hornet invading the U.K., which decapitates bees by the dozen, Vespa Velutina.
Listen to it with full range headphones. Your skin will crawl.
Why not jut put the whole thing in a garbage bag and burn the bag.
It’s relaxing AF at the end when you always shake those combs, and the larvae fall out, so the chickens and squirrels get to eat.
The squirrel making a mess on your lap 😂😂
I’m addicted to your content. I just love seeing the size of the nest when it’s uncovered and the satisfaction of seeing the wasps being vacuumed up. Not so keen on the squirming larvae though, but can’t seem to tear my eyes away from them. I learn a lot about them from your videos too. I’m in awe of the bond between you and the little squirrel that is comfortably perched on your knee, how special😊
Thank you, Marie! Im glad you enjoy my content! Thanks for watching!
I respect all the bee/wasp/hornet 'tubers,
with that being said... your video presentations and smooth commentary are levels above the others.
No disrespect at all to others... I mean that.
I noticed you: bleeped a tiny verbal "slip" (keeping it family friendly ! :) ),
explain clearly and calmly, remain respectful and conscious of your customers environment ,
no complaining about heat/driving/ access...etc , maintained good audio/video for your customers and followers .
If I had choice any service at all to eradicate a hornet type issue, YOU would get the job first because of all of those things.

You act like he has on a tank top n shorts the man has on a whole bee suit .... smh. America is full of idiotic ppl I swear.
“She was pretty impressed with the size of this thing I pulled out” 😂 let’s hope the hornet queen doesn’t see this 😂 great work as always !!! Not sure where you are in pa but if your ever around state college for a removal and want some help lmk !!!
Hahahaha Thats what she said! lol
Thanks!
Can anyone appreciate the phenomenal building prowess of these creatures? Absolutely amazing!
I'll say it again... Balls of solid brass!
What a ferocious amount of hornets! You got to be very happy with the manufacturer of your bee suit?
The chickens seem to be appreciative.
Is that one of Humphry's younguns?
Hahah Thanks man!
ALways thankful for the protection of my suit!
This is Belle-Squirrel. She is a recent rescue, unrelated to Humphrey.
His Chickens are fat they'll definitely eating good 😅
@@HornetKingOfficial props to you for giving squirrels another chance
The camera work is amazing to catch those hornets in the air like that with such clarity.
How effective are the bee suits at preventing stings? Are there particular brands or styles that are more effective than others?
well one of the hornets was literally twerking it's stinger on him, so i'd say pretty damn effective.

@@Justaguywithglassesok ..that’s..interesting to say the least
they can be very effective, however in some cases you might get a few stings.

Hes like a disney princess around every creature other than wasps and rightfully so
This is definitely in my top 3 removals! Do the chicks ever get stung? I've always had intense fear of wasps and hornets. After watching your videos I'm a lot less fearful because people like you exist in this world. Keep up the amazing work you do!
That is the most enormous sized hornet's nest I've ever seen. The noise of those hornets in between hoovering was so loud in my headphones. Being from England, European hornets are the native breed here and in the wild they are relatively docile but that many in someone's house was pretty scary. Love watching the chickens feast on the larva though. And watching your squirrel feed from your hands was a cute end to the hornet storm 😉
Two uploads in one day. Heck yeah
Trying to catch up!

YESSSSSS :)
That's a whole lot of hornets. " WOW !!
I love the chicken conversations at the end of your videos :)
Mr Hornet King is not just entertaining, he also is an educator... Cheers matey from me crocheting while watching your amazing video's!
The design on the comb....stunning
Thats more like a hornet retirement community than a nest.
They'll still leave some big ass knots on your head though
You ' re not kidding !
Some people can’t even deal with one…
This man dealt with thousands.
Edit: that squirrel, I want to hug the little guy so bad :0
When you call the professional and they say “holy crap” you know it’s serious 😂
On another note: I’ve learned so much from your channel. I really don’t waste much time watching the other wasp removal videos but I did see one the other day. The nest was massive and there was a queen on the windowsill and he went into some thing about that’s what you want to get, the queen, she’s the troublemaker, etc. So I had to comment: “That was A queen, not THE queen. THE queen is buried in the comb somewhere.” Thanks for all you do. I find all of this fascinating!
This is crazy. I mean I don’t even mess with one hornet and this man is dealing with a huge nest of them. Respect
I have wasps as pets every season, just because they nest within my windows. They aren't causing problems and the most I've ever seen a season were around 30.
I've grown to like them, even with a potential allergy on my part. I am the least scared person in regards to wasps that I know of, but this was fucking terrifying.
I like wasps. Wasps are chill. You leave them be, they'll leave you be. Hornets are assholes though. And most bumblebees will let you pet them while they're busy feeding off a flower.
Also I too like bugs. Stinkbugs like holing up in my house for the winter so I gather them and put them into a tank with food and water until spring. They're fun to watch.
I also remember going to my mom's work when I was little. The little lobby was like 90°, so the floor was FLOODED with Boxelder bugs. I mean EVERYWHERE. There must have been over a thousand in the 10'x6' entryway. It was fun to watch them. Bugs are free entertainment.
@@GetDougDimmadomed I'm more of a bumblebee kinda guy myself. So calm and kinda funny. Never been stung by a bee, been stung by a number of wasps minding my own business walking down the street. I think they are insect terrorists.
Wasps can pick up their decapitated head and run away
I hate them
@UC_c0vdIUUbIbYbDEyWvdfNA wasps are fucking assholes too. The amount of times I’ve been stung for no reason is insane. I think you might be thinking about bees.
@@GetDougDimmadomed I agree, plus bumblebees are awesome.
I enjoyed watching you feed your friends! Bless you and your gentle kindness
thats pretty crazy, i am a pest controller in the uk and I'd never remove a nest like this without treating it with an insecticide a few days prior.. ever get stung through the suit? your a brave man
have you ever dropped a nest while taking it out?
if so how did the wasps/hornets react?
They probably got triggered and tried to attack him or just flew around like maniacs
I WENT RUNNING LIKE A MONKEY WHEN MY DAD DROPPEDA WASP NEST
They're touchy little fckers, probably attacked rite away.

Times that by 50 was the biggest one I encountered in the roof of a barn, every year you could stand on a nearby hill and watch the entire swarm coming back to the nest like clockwork. Just this huge black cloud, it was terrifying and impressive.

My family has had that same ladder since I can remember. We’ve had it for at least 15 years and it still works and looks brand new. It is an absolute beast, you can use it for everything. Extremely heavy duty while also being lightweight, perfect versatility. Can’t recommend it enough.
Look, I’m not one to fear insects while looking at them but THIS is horrifying.

Wow, this was an amazing watch. I have such a phobia of these dudes, I couldn’t even imagine being so up close with them! Also, good on you for using the nest to feed your animals, making sure it doesn’t go to waste.
You don't get paid enough. I don't even know how much you make, but it's not enough, bro. Strong, necessary work, sir!
