Gotta love how they relocated the wasps only a few feet away from the original nest.

Alan and Emily, two brilliant people who have been cursed to share 1 brain cell.

I can’t even describe how much I hate Wasps

I was stumped by a yellow jacket nest in my backyard, but then one night a skunk came and ate all the yellow jackets and they were completely gone. Only a neat hole was left.

Well, you've not only invented a new way to very quickly move wasps from one place to another but also potentially a new war crime. Impressive.

I use to work in beekeeping and rescuing and yes we use that cyclone thing to capture a hive. We don’t however weaponize them. The only time we use the succ is when the hive is located in a wall and we can tare out the wall to do a normal cut out and a normal trap out won’t work because it takes about a few weeks. Honestly I would just keep them in the jar and use it like a grenade.

Anyone attempting to save yellow jackets has never been swarmed for simply existing 😂

"I'm relocating them, to the after-life" lol I love your dad.

I also used the Venturi effect this week! But instead of shooting bees, I shot flames out of a pumpkin 🎃 🔥

I am still dying at "This is my friend Dan, and he has a problem... My mom had me tested!"

The wasp gun is a great tool for defeating golem, just make sure you pair it with something that can inflict ichor

I was swarmed by wasps when I was like 8, and at 35 I still have a phobia of bees so strong that my body enters defcon 1 when a housefly buzzes by my ear, _even if I know it's just a fly_ . I was kinda hoping youd launch them into a fire or something tbh. I appreciate honeybees, they're alright, but wasps can die in a fire.

Venturi effect to suck bees out of a jar doesn't work so well if one doesn't also let air into the jar. Otherwise the jar just goes to steady state low pressure with no flow. Bringing air into the bottom of a jar would introduce airflow from the bottom to the top. If the air flows in at an angle to the side, then it's likly to effect the bees the most as the bees will tend to want to stay closest to the side walls.

"Jar full of angry hornets" seems like a very effective way to introduce entropy in many situations.

This might come off as nitpicking, but yellow jackets and other wasps are very much not bees - a key distinction being that a bee can only sting you once while a wasp can just keep stinging over and over

Glad to see you won the battle with Allen over who gets to make the bee gun.

Can relate to Dan on not wanting to continue helping the bees. Got attacked by some while dispersing them for a pest control company and was not informed we had a bee suit at the office that we had to check out for every time we needed it. Now that I think about it is dumb that was the way they did it and not have one for every technician in their van.

After 90 seconds, I'm already sold on this foolproof plan and can see no way that it could go wrong.

Good thing Emily and Allen both made bee/wasp guns just in case one of them, like, might have gotten destroyed on a nut farm or something

3rd option: instead of senselessly killing or relocating them, utilize the circle of life™ Deposit some peanut butter near the nest. This attracts their natural predators (skunk/opossum) who will dig out the entire nest over the course of a few days.

We can now launch yellow jackets at people, welcome to cyberpunk. 2077

Yellow Jackets hit mach 2

The Internet has taught me that the best response to something like yellowjackets is molten aluminum.

rip allen pam, he said he’s literally making this exact video rn edit: ohhh he’s literally in this video lol

THE END💀

dang this is some high quality youtube engineer-y meme-y content that sends the dopamine in all the right places. I don’t even have anything worth saying, but thought I’d leave this comment for what ever algorithm boosting abilities it might attribute too

This is friggin sweet! Do you have the STL files for the cyclone separator?

For the next iteration, Imma suggest checking out 'blast gate' (I'll leave it to you to figure out why one at the top of your collection jar might be useful).

Another option would be to refrigerate the jars once wasps are trapped. Its safe to then relocate them in a chilled carry box. Simply open the jar in the sun, and eventually they will heat up and reanimate some time later. This is assuming it works the same way as for flys.

That device may actually have a market for entomologists. I can't say for sure but researchers often need a safe way to collect lots of insects when working with them. Also, probably late to tell you this but if you put insects in the freezer for about a minute, maybe two, they become lethargic and easy to work with until they warm up again.

Alan Pan in shambles

Within the first minute you made yourself a new subscriber. This is quality content.

Another banger from EmilytheEngineer and BuildDanielBuild from the Iron Legion 💯

I don't know how I didn't know about this channel before. This type of stuff is right up my alley

I cant BEE LIVE you did this!

Regarding your PPE, did the suits not adequately protect you from the yellow jackets? You both seemed very afraid of them despite having the suits on.

Loved the seamless transition omg

These videos are so inspiring to me, I can’t wait to use people’s irreplaceable time with my own

i love how even after making revisions on their designs, both alan and emily STILL land on the same mechanisms

Dan is an absolute madman

I want you to know, I have just stumbled upon your channel. 3rd video I've watched is this one. I haven't laughed so hard at such chaos in so long. I literally just built my first Ender 3 like 3 hours ago, and your chaos is gold. I'm happy to be apart of this community now

This is the content I crave after a day of adulthood and job.

These are the projects i LOVE. SUBBED!

Its not the launcher that did it, but getting wasps into a jar has me evil cackling. Could you imagine a whole beer growler full of wasps? The possibilities are endless.

Your ad was fantastic! I love it!!

Yellow jackets are a type of hornet, also known as the angry arsehole or barmy bastard... I fully concur and endorse Dan's release method against a hard and preferably an actively flaming source. Many, many years ago, I once designed a butane powered "Puff gun" wherein a short burst of butane from a bell shaped nozzle would create a millisecond duration fireball a couple feet in diameter that effectively removed the wings from the aerial menace whereupon simpler methods were able to gather them up more effectively. A fairly large nearby population of garden spiders was treated to a multi day feast...

Emily- saving the bees and our boredom, one crazy idea at a time

How am I only now discovering this channel? This is great!

More dan! Dan is legit.

I made a wasp vacuum back in 2009. It worked great for sucking them up and shooting them back out. Fun to see you had a similar idea.

This brings a smile to my face

The best video yet!😂

Once did an Advanced Labs class where we had to get a few grams of some material to combust and calculate the caloric value of. We wanted to do wasps, but they're so goddang light we would've needed like 20-30, which would not have compressed into the pellet size we needed to fit it into the calorimeter cup

Just found your channel and I love it!

1:05 Ahhh, You could have use a little more time explaining how a cyclone filter works, it is sooooo coooollllll. For particles of a given size and mass you need a given "air speed" for the particle to be suspended in the air, but since the air coming in with a high speed along the side og the cyclone, and is leaving with a 90 degree angle the "air speed" must base 0 (or close to 0) at some point in the cyclone, and as the air speed drops the particles drops out of the air stream, and that point in the stream you put in a container to collect all the particles and now you have a filter that do not get clogged. Honestly this is genies, and you can find cool CFD simulations and videos of this... Please do.😃

Dan is the best!

This is the kind of content we need

I do vortex separator work for my masters project and I think you just changed how I’m gonna present at the end of the year. “The particles go wee woo wee woo” sent me😂😂

I like the compilation of chaos

bees are chill and cool as fuck, misunderstood af fr

"My Mom had me tested" doesn't mean the tests came back normal.

I have a distinct memory of when I was in Boy Scouts and we were hiking on the Appalachian Trail and had a section of trail with a stump that had a massive yellow jacket nest under it. Since it was on a mountain trail, there was no real safe way to go around it and the yellow jackets were very active. We basically just had to go in pairs as slowly as possible to not upset them then continue a good hundred feet or more to be out of the area. The adults went at the end since that’s when the yellow jackets would likely be the most angry and the only person who got stung was my dad who went at the very end and was practically running up the trail and getting stung until he got almost to where everybody else was. I’d say they hit him a good 5-10 times in a few seconds

I never minded wasps one bit until a few years ago... Got stung only twice, two weeks in a row, and I swelled up like a balloon. Damn wasps.

damn, she really made the wasp gun from the martian chronicles, that’s neat

I'm glad this got recommended

I am happy someone has found out a way to weaponise bees

😂😂 the ending is where I would have started

NOT THE BEES!!!!!!!

The ending was the best

Hi. Love this. Do you, by any chance, have a link to the stls for viewers?

A forge is just a 3d printer for metal filament. You can 3d print an underground wasp nest for greater effect.

The ad segue is the best. never thought I would not skip an ad. better than Linus'🤣🤣

Hal from Malcolm in middle shooting bees with the precision of a laser. That show was so good.

the idea of a wasp gun reminds me of terraria way too much x3

Those bees that survive are gonna be so pissed!

As someone who is allergic to yellow jackets, this gives me immeasurable amounts of joy.

relocating to the afterlife is such a me answer i love it haha

We are in the bee meta now

I had a colony of those in my front garden a bunchnof years ago. I started my investigation by removing the shrub in the middle of the garden. The nest seemed to be centered on the root mass. Since the bees were aggressive I did not want to dig out the shrub manually. I managed to get a rope around the shrub, which I attached to my car. Shrub gone. Bees really really mad. That evening I discovered with some judicious exploration with a shovel that the nest was more than 1 cubic metre. I called an exterminator.

Alan and Emily had a real hivemind moment with the bee gun idea.

Neat toys, but it's not actually possible to relocate a wasp nest by moving the wasps. You can kill them by starvation, sure, but if you want to actually keep the wasps alive, you have to dig out the nest, with the queen included, and place the nest elsewhere. Adult yellow jackets (and most wasps) can't digest they food that they forage. They feed it to the larvae, who kinda "pay" for the food by feeding the adults some digested food. So relocating a wasp without also moving the larvae generally means they're going to starve to death over the next week or so. More humane to just exterminate them quickly. Check out the Hornet King, who is an exterminator for a living but also teaches a lot about their lifecycles and even saves some nests when he can, especially for native wasp and bee colonies. He can't save them all, but the non-invasives he sometimes keeps alive for the rest of the season. The ones he can't save he feeds to his chickens and emus.

Didn't you know? November is Bee Yeeting season. Everyone builds bee guns this time of year, it's a totally tradional and normal thing to be doing.

I just discovered you have a youtube channel. Time to do a marathon.

Relocating them into the afterlife is the proper way to relocate these monsters

No bug should have two super powers so by all means, please, yeet away.

Best video on KZfaq

That surprisingly worked

"Whoa whoa whoa" will probably be the words on Emily's tombstone

I love your videos please post more

It's like the Proton Pack from Ghostbusters, but for yeller jackets!

Wow that works really well😂

5:45 deserves an Emmy

I grew up in a kids home, and everyone was always coming in my room. So, I got a jar with a lid, and I'd go catch a bee or a wasp in a bush, and I'd take it inside, turn it over on the carpet, and once I could trap a leg I would tie a thread loop around it, and then let a couple of feet out, then cinch the end in the notch on the spool, and put it in the middle of my doorway. If people walked in without knocking, my circling flying patrol had a good chance of latching on and giving me a good laugh...

“AH PERRY THE PLATYPUS, THIS IS MY WASP YELLOW JACKET OR WHATEVER IS ANNOYING YOU-INATOR!”

Glad I was here for the beginning of your supervillain arc

Got a wasp gun and didn't even need to kill Plantera multiple times. The power of engineering.

"me and Dan came up with a brilliant plan" rhymes

Relocating them to the afterlife 😂

YEEET
