    very inspiring work to take down hornet nests while respecting and learning about their life cycle and behaviors. and thank you for teaching us. there are no enemies in nature. only different creatures living together. sometimes we need to remove habitats that are within our homes, but we should never forget that we share earth with other living creatures. thank you for the reminder of the complexity and wonder of life.

    Nice video. I think they built a really good looking hive. But alas, it has to go. With the chicks. If you, and this might sounds crazy but, sound like a rooster(not the crowing/screaming, the clucking they make when finding food) and signal there is food they will be more interested in eating what you leave for them next time. Talking from experience in raising a couple of chicks and making friends with all the hens and rooster we got. :)

This is video especially resonates w me more because you actually showed the different stages from larvae to pupae then to adult! SO FASCINATING! and the part where you feed your chickies to see their reaction to the different stages of the hornets life was so interesting i just had to comment about! Keep it up my g! youre doing great with these vids!

    Hmmm. Interesting. We have chickens at home as well. And while we never had hornets to feed them, there was a certain bug, adult and probably about as large as one of those hornets, which they gladly gobbled up. Me and my father were digging up some earth in their place to use as fertilizer and there was this specific insect, which had thick legs at the front, probably used to dig. They looked really interesting and there were a ton of them, so the chickens got to feast.

It left a nasty taste in my mouth for a few weeks, and no insects would dare venture towards me, even red ants moved away from my bare feet.
