hornet king: opens and closes the door the european hornets: and now you have officialy carried it to far buddy

Being able to see them up close really makes me appreciate how hard they work and how efficient and beautiful nature is.

You: So cool, calm and collected. Talking lovingly to your hornets. You even built them a new home!!! Me: I have a small hornet's nest on the front porch. When they start buzzing, all the neighbors see a fat, old, half Asian woman doing the Highland Jig on the front porch, screaming "AHYA!!! AHYA!!! NO STING, NO STING!!!!" I'm so glad I can provide free entertainment to the neighborhood.

If they would just chill out I wouldn't mind the hornets as much. The European Paper Wasps I have around the house are so docile they could almost be pets. The yellowjackets and other hornets are just jerks.

"The queen peed so I'm out of here." I'll be using that one on our next road trip.

Love when the whole “Hornet Family” is involved

You are the best educator on wasps and hornets. Learned so much from you. Love to watch Humphrey.

I love to meet Humprey…I’ve always loved squirrels and I make it to the end of your videos when it’s gonna be time for Humphrey and his smorgasbord eating and he smashing the nest to go down…he never misses a beat lol….

I have spent thousands of hours watching wasps, hornets, yellow jackets, etc. as a child! No one would believe me when I told them the beauty of these insects! Thank you for sharing….

Those are huge! Their behaviors are very different than some other wasps. I love Humphrey doing his thing. Excellent video, TY.

Maybe they felt a difference of air pressure or humidity that disturbed them, especially with a storm. The amount that insects can detect that we can't is amazing.

Wow! Absolutely fascinating. You have shown wasps and hornets in an entirely different light. Just seeing how hard they work and support each other is inspiring. They are living creatures trying to make their way in the world. They didn't ask to be hornets. Thank you for showing this video and showing the respect they deserve. 💯💯💯

Absolutely love this series where we can see inside a working hornets' nest. It's fascinating to see how much hard work goes into the construction of the hive every season! Thank you so much for doing this, I have a new appreciation for all the wasps that hang around my rose garden!

I love how peaceful your videos are, about a much misunderstood, but beautiful animal. Thank you for sharing these videos, you are doing science a service by making them. Regards from the UK.

The relocation vids are my absolute favorite. Haven’t watched the video yet but any updates on those relocated Bald Faced Hornet nests? Anyway, keep it up! Great vid as always!

Humphrey is full of Lyme Disease carrying ticks. I counted at least 5 on her stomach, paws, & ear. There's a gadget that you twist the ticks off with, but on a wild squirrel, you could not do that.

I vote for Hornet King and Queen volunteer themselves for Science Class with their "pets" :) :)

I love when you do these kind of videos. It's fun to watch those busy Hornets do their thing. Please tell me what happened to your Turkey. I miss seeing him at the end of your videos. Thanks for all your great videos. I love them all.

Your channel is gem for people who are afraid of stinging insects irl but still find them to be beautiful and interesting to observe.

Love the video. I think the hornets are fascinating. Great to see Humphrey. She's looking well.

Yep those are some big wasps no thanks I would try and get as far away from this nest as I could, and that’s the first time I’ve noticed that old car in the barn very nice

A guy who will save wasp and hornet nests is a guy who truly loves nature. I wish we could all be more like the Hornet King.

Really cool relocation video. Those hornets were not happy when you opened that door. It is so cool to see how they build their nest in that box. Thank you Hornet King and Queen!

I wanted to give you props for the intro you made for your videos. It has a professional feel to it, the music is perfect for getting me pumped up to see some wasps getting squashed and the camera work is excellent. It makes your videos feel like a TV show and honestly, your content is more interesting than 95% of the stuff on TV anyway. Keep up the great work and bald faced hornets are yellow jackets.

The weekend is saved ❤❤🙌🏻❤❤

HUMPHREY!!! This is his 1st appearance this season. I was worried we'd lost him.

This is gonna sound kinda crazy but I’ve always had a huge fear of wasps or any stinging insect but the more I hear you talk about them I tend to watch them a lot if I ever see one. Definitely amazing creatures! I def love the content and info! Keep it up!

16:05 I thought it was adorable how they spazzed out instantly with the door closing. So dramatic🤣

16:07 they got excited like “whos here whos here I wanna know whos here” like when the doorbell rings.

WOW....This is so very....Fascinating to watch....No wonder you have so many Sub'er....An the see thru box is awesome to watch what is going on inside.....You sure got a beautiful Hornet queen to help you...You are a very lucky man my friend....God's peace brother...ThAnKs...!

Just like seeing the time lapse of the video of how the nest progresses from when you first relocate it to how it is now and that they do it all in a matter of a few months

You should place a camera into the case, hole in the plexi for the lens, Infared Cam would do the trick, then post it on a Live Feed for anyone to log in and watch live :)

Been working through some recent vids. No time to breathe these days. Have recommended you to three different people who have posted to NEXTDOOR so hopefully they contact you. Was showing the top three vids to my youngest who is my spectrum kid and terrified of flying stinging anything. She responds to logic so I’m hoping having her learn will help. So I’m extra grateful these days for all you post! Seems after the storms the wasps are out with a new vengeance…????

I would love to watch the hornets work all day and night. Sometimes I wish they would make a nest on my living room window so I can watch them. I've been seeing yellow jackets in my pine trees. They seem to just be walking around on the needles. Are they eating sap or maybe collecting it? It seems late in the season for them to be collecting but I'm such a newbie here I don't want to assume. Thanks for sharing and looking forward to updates on the colony!!

I’ll tell you this my friend…. You’ve got nerves of steel…. Hell one of them gets around me and it’s go time…I don’t like hornets, bees or anything else that pokes and sticks me and yells tou’che and it’s stinger against my cowardice…you do a great job coming out and teaches us…. And as a old man I still move when I get freaked out lol…keep the great videos up…👍👍

It's crazy to see how reactive they got when you shut the door and having light on them. Humphrey was hungry & needed a napkin😅

As a music guy, I really appreciate when you showed us the microphone and audio setup and told us that the audio is unedited because that stuff fascinates me. You make it very obvious that you are authentic and I love it. I wonder if different species of wasps buzz at different pitches or if it all just blends together/ sounds the same. Love the videos HK

I'm in the UK and they are native here but rarely seen. I saw one a few weeks back in woodland. I have never come across them nesting in buildings here, or in an urban environment. We have plenty of the common Wasps (Vespa Vulgaris?) but not as many this Summer, they certainly nest in peoples buildings. I am a beginner Ant keeper, there seem to be similarities between Wasps ant Ants from what I have seen. I have heard that Hornets are active at night and hunt at night, they were certainly alive and well in your barn "Waspicarium"! Have you tried red light? They might be calmer but probably harder to film...

Always enjoy these relocation videos. Your filming and editing is awesome!!

Great job HK.

“Big Tuches” 9:56. Now THAT’S funny 😄

I love your channel. I find it fascinating! The old saying "busy as a bee" someone had to watch a bee/hornet/wasp/yellow jacket nest.. Totally awesome!

Wowzer! Amazing! And thank you for letting us see Humphrey.

Would love to see some “Queen” updates and love all of your videos. Been allergic to bee and wasp stings since I was a pre teen but love how they function and preserve their way of life. I may be allergic, but still admire the beauty of nature. Love you Hornet King and Queen and always look forward to what’s next. ❤️😍

This is an incredible video showing insight into wasp colony and queen behaviour. Thanks!

HK’s Wife: Honey, what do you want for Christmas? HK: A new hornet’s nest ???? HK’s Wife: SMH Your voice describing your success in the transfer shows your passion and your dedication to these creatures! One reason why I luv your channel! Keep it up! Stay safe, stay sane, be well

It's really cool to see the process of the nest building

Boy, do they realize their buzzing is scary? Lol!! Your video quality is broadcast level. Thanks very much.

I hate wasps, but seeing up close how they work and lay eggs... was beautiful.

Hey Bret... So I think I might have an invention that could help you. So I was googling these plastic domes (search: Acrylic PMMA Clear Dome) - I think people use them to cover security cameras and shit... well anyhow, I was thinking, damn! what if Hornet King got one of these, and just drilled a hole in one side of that and installed a rubber gasket or grommet such that a shop-vac hose could fit in there snugly. Then you could roll up on ground wasp nests and just pop that dome over the entrance! Turn on the vac and go have a frosty Miller High Life, the champagne of beers. Sure, the adults could escape the nest entrance hole, but would be constrained to the dome and couldn't swarm around you. Also, you could insert the hose through the gasket hole about a foot so you could still position the mouth of the vac-hose right at the wasp's entrance hole but still keep the whole area covered by the dome. Then, when the few adults that do escape capture at the mouth of the nest figure out that they can't escape the dome and swarm the customer's yard, they'll probably get frustrated and go back to the entrance and get sucked up then. Just a way to prevent them from escaping and a "hands off" vacuum system. Then you could pick off returning foragers one at a time with soapy water spray or RAID or whatever. Just an idea.

Even though I’m terrified of bees/wasps/hornets, i love watching your videos!!! I like watching the process of them building the envelope. Could you start putting Day/time stamps at the bottom to let us know how long they’ve been working on them?

It's amazing how quickly they build their envelope. I haven't been on here for a good while, but I am so happy to see Humphrey is still going strong!

Those European hornets 😍😍

Your videos have come a long way. Learned a lot from you. Not as scared of wasp as before. That nest was so cool compared to last nest. Keep the coming!

SO COOL!!!! Thanks for sharing!!!

Thank you for these Video, it's actually help me learn more about the wasp. We are starting to notice more wasp that I've never seen before. So it's interesting to watch this to be able to kinds determine what these are and how to prevent them in my house or yard especially with my kiddos. And I love the fact you include your family. It may not look like it but with your kids around they will remember this year's later!!! Thank you!!

Nature is amazing! I enjoy watching this and I do appreciate what you do ! After sitting on the couch, watching on the big screen……. I think I keep hearing buzzing !

That was an amazing video HK, good to see Humphry getting some air time.

Absolutely incredible footage!

Would Humphrey let you give him a bath? You can put vegetable oil on him to kill the fleas and ticks, then wash it off afterwards. If you leave a little residue, it'll help repell them for a little bit too. Don't know how wild he's gotten. As for the wasp nest, I had no idea they peed lol! Very cool to get to watch them like this.

Another great video Bret

This is great, the relocation stuff is super cool, and it's very easy to tell how hard this relo content must be to put together with all the special recording equipment and the amount of footage that would need picked through and edited together, and especially the containment contraptions. All and all I feel I can appreciate this content. PS: Also keeping them on your property, that has to be at least a hair stressful, having as you put it: double A sized wasps roving around.

Seeing them threw the glass I am not as scared of them I now see how beautiful they can be

Great content Sir. I really like all of your videos, but love watching the nests grow. Thanks so much!!

I've seen European hornets on 3 separate occasions on my property this year, but I have yet to find their nest. I also have a bald faced hornet nest on the side of my house, and at one point there were 4 different yellow jacket nests in our yard, and there's *another* one being built inside my bedroom wall. There's something about our property that's drawing these things in like crazy, but I don't know what it is.

Thank you so much. I’m listening with earbuds for full effect. For some reason it makes me want to itch. 🇬🇧

This is fascinating. Thank you for this.

Hornet King’s intro: Go big or go home! 🙌😳❤️‍🔥💥🔥🐝

Hello Hornet King. I wanted to tell you how much I enjoy your channel. I think it's helped me a lot with my fear of wasps, hornets and bees. I found your Twitch channel but I see you haven't posted since April. I hope you have a live stream sometime. I would love to ask some questions and find out more about stinging insects. Again, thank you for your videos. They are great!

16:00 I was wearing headphones at full volume when he closed the door and I jumped! Scared me half to death!

Got a new sub! love the videos! and being in 4k!

Love the vids man keep them coming

that's a superb video. Thank you so much.

I absolutely love your chickens!!!!!

I randomly found this channel a while ago and love it and really appreciate the work that you do for KZfaq

Thank you for this video! One of your best to date!!!

Good job! :) Have a good weekend!

I love how unique each nest is

This is an awesome channel!!! You are great with getting those nests out of so many different places. I will be watching every video!! Be careful! Hi from Hanover, pa

I wonder how Humphrey choses to eat some larvae and rejects the others... It was so cute hearing your son's voice being in aww of the wasps and what they're doing..he's going to grow up loving and respecting nature its fun having your familly involved on your vids i became a grandma in march and i love it i'm just gaga i babysat last weekend lol i forgot how you dont get much sleep hi hi but all worth it ...great vid i love these big wasps .

Truly fascinating, amazing creatures.

They got the envelope on there quick. It amazes me how they so quickly get the envelope around the comb when you relocate them.

That is so awesome so cool thank you for the videos. Very very educational ! Bless you

Nice job relocating this nest, the video is amazing, thanks for sharing and doing it with so much detail, I just found your channel and I'm watching now all your videos, I told my wife about it and we love it when you feed your animals. I love your channel! Keep up the good work, greetings from Germany

awesome. LOVE THIS!!!

So fascinating thank you for sharing this VIDEO

Sometimes, I still cringe, when I see you grabbing a huge nest full of angry wasps! It's all fascinating though. The part where you're out at midnight, checking the nest... There were busy! Even at night they don't ever seem to sleep. The vibration of the door shutting into the wall where you have them mounted, seemed to really set them off! That's the first time I've seen Humphry in a while. She looks like she's doing well, except for the tick on her ear. But that's what ticks do...

That’s awesome!

what an unbelievable video. if there are youtube awards, it gets my vote

Another great one, loved seeing them so close up!

My favorite part of every video is when Humphrey or the chickens eat the "larvae buffet" ☺️

I LOVEEEE THIS!!!! Thank u for showing us this!!!

I love the squirrel 🐿

Fascinating thanks for a very informative vid cheers 👍🇬🇧

Fascinating, I love watching your videos! The squirrel eating the larvae was cool too! Where were the girls though?!

Hornet King: -opens door- European Hornets: "and I took that personally"

I was walking through my woods yesterday and found a huge nest...I'm still so freakin excited about it, I've always wanted to see one in the wild. I think its a bald face hornet nest. I wish I could send you a picture to get your thoughts. Great video

Very informative! Thanks to the subtitles with automatic translation, I can better follow the interesting things you describe. The fear I have for hornets remains, but thanks to you I respect them more!👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

A suggestion for the next box you make might be to cut slots in so the plexiglass just slides into place. That way you won't disturb them with the screwdriver when cleaning inside & you have easy access. 🙏✨❤️🤍💙✨🙏

This is the most interesting video I have seen in ages thank you.
