I think is fitting if you do bees next! Your videos are amazing! I can enjoy them even if I'm terrified of insects lol

one of them landed in kazakhstan though

The only good wasps.

You should make a video of that bearded dragon

fuck these guys i'll rely on the wind

I love the fact that he let his wasps go back to the nature

@@Brazilian_guy. wait for them to sting someone

@@sandronecromancer but if the sting someone its because someone came near then soo its your fault if you get sting

@@Brazilian_guy. especially when their colony expands and they start breaking into someone's house

@@sandronecromancer ok you have a good point

Thank you for posting this comment, now i know theres a happy ending, i was so scared to watch the video until i saw this comment. Thank you T-T

Not just calmly, he stopped, took his time to get a bunch of footage, then put them back lol

i would have got the other animals outof there and call the exterminator

@@Forrestmcly05 The wasps were so used to him at this point, they regularly had his hand come in to feed them and they were quick to crawl onto his finger when he was rounding them back up. Social wasps like these can actually recognize faces, and are smart enough to "know" people who they see often enough.

he let the fkn beasts out of their shell in the wilderness lmao, he's non-respected by me the least.

Man wanted dinner got fooled lol

"innocence"

@@denzterwastaken well it is innocent. It's not acting with malicious intent, it's just feeding itself according to the food chain due to its instincts

@@SKAOG21 Yeah, true, but I was mostly just joking.

@@denzterwastaken haha fair enough

Bro my anxiety goin through the roof j watching them fly around

Not the devilish atrocities where I live. Just not giving your food will make them sting

This is long, sorry. Read if yah want. But I think most of us were a bit ill-conditioned to fear bees and wasps. I am highly allergic to bees…yet handle them every day and adore them. As a child it was drilled into me that bees and wasps were scary, terrible, awful things. Then I learned how beneficial namely bees are. They swarm my hummingbird feeders and I felt awful learning this happens if they don’t have enough nectar sources so I planted some, and got “bee hotels”. Weirdly enough I lost my fear. I approach them with respect, having researched the best way to approach and handle them. And it’s to the point where I feel entirely comfortable walking over and slowly scooping a handful of honey bees off my hummingbird feeder so I can refill it. I don’t suggest anyone try this, namely those allergic. Especially if people aren’t immediately nearby and know what you’re doing. But I’ve learned that they aren’t spiteful, mean creatures. In fact when I get stung (VERY rarely) I have this moment of “I need to get this stinger out immediately but can’t yank it!” Because this will often kill bees. Non allergic people can often even let them work themselves out, instead of yanking away or smacking away. And there’s almost always a recognizable reason for me getting stung, that was my fault. Wasps, I’ll admit, are a bit more aggressive. They do still make me nervous. It didn’t help that my elderly neighbor was killed by hornets while cutting grass. So wasps/hornets ans the like make me nervous. But wasps are definitely the same in that if you keep a respectful distance, you should be fine. I’d never approach a wasp nest without protective gear (I’ll absolutely approach a honey bee hive without protective gear). I think when it comes to them, it’s just super important to be aware of your surroundings, don’t stumble upon them, and certainly don’t do anything to aggravate them.

Yes bees are pretty chill, no need to be afraid. But wasps are the assholes of the insects. They will eat your food and sting you when you want to chase them away. Maybe it is just because I had a lot of terrible experiences with wasps. It is also weird that they don't seem to have any sense how much more dangerous a creature 200X it's size is while most insects do

@@brie3679 I was also conditioned into being afraid of them then I fed some wasps ice tea and we chill now they just keep falling into my glass cause they get too greedy and then I have to help them get out with a stick you'd think they'd learn but it kept happening just have to check every time before taking a sip haha

👏

,lol

Or a contingency plan depending on how you look at it

@@anthony9376 heh, good one

agree

Bro same

Are you a protective cocoon? 5:08

But said helll yesssssssss at the same time

Fun fact, if u want a diy wasp trap, you half open a can of soda, half empty it and then just leave it out. You'll have an abundance of dead wasps in no time.

​@Fresh Start They can smell and are alerted by the carbon dioxide we humans breathe out.

? Can you explain

Swarming bees/wasps hone in on the co2(carbon dioxide) animals exhale because it generally is the most sensitive to attack the eyes/mouth/nose.

no, you're anthropomorphizing them

@@KepperKleen Maybe they did, but still if a person doesn't anger an animal to trigger it to attack out of self preservation then they would most likely be fine.

@@KepperKleen Exactly, lmao "facial recognition" as a concept is incredibly Human. Besides some animals like Corvids & Apes, genuine facial recognition is rare in the animal kingdom.

@@bustavonnutz I agree, Mr. Nutz

@@bustavonnutz I'm not the one who did the study on whether or not wasps can recognize the faces of other wasps. If you're really interested in the subject you can probably find the video about it on youtube somewhere.

Paper wasps are fairly easy to tame and raise. I've done it myself. Other types like yellowjackets or hornets are different, they have much larger colonies and they probably won't be very receptive to direct intervention with humans like paper wasps are.

Yes but I would be a male bee

"Sometimes I'm a mail bee, and other times I'm a spelling bee; as long as I'm not a wanna bee" ~anonumous member of the dead hornet poets society

​@@yearginclarke he had also Yellow Jackets so your comment is useless.

@@nithraliabrawlstars6541 Here's a typical dumbass YT user with a completely unnecessary smartass tone. Unless I'm missing some video that was deleted or some other clue that would indicate otherwise, he wasn't successful with the hornets/yellowjackets. I only see a video called "ATTEMPTING to keep a pet hornet", which the title itself indicates the attempt was not successful, let alone watching the video to confirm it. And also when I say "direct intervention" by humans, obviously it means actually feeding and interacting up close while using a bare hand with a normally functioning colony, as shown with the paper wasps. You may be able to pull that off with a captured yellowjacket queen outside her normal habitat. Or a normally functioning hornet/yellowjacket colony may let you observe the colony up close from a few feet away, but no matter how familiar they are with you I highly doubt you will be getting into close contact and offering honey directly to an active colony like you can with paper wasps. Watch Hornet King's channel where he relocates nests and still can only get so close to them before they display aggressive behavior.

🤣🤣

Thank you!

@@TheDrPlants how long does each video take you from time of inception to execution. And what is the total editing time?

Yeah! Each episode is like a documentary

The first second of the video "eduactional" lol

@@Dieje id guess like 3 weeks, looking at upload schedule, maybe more or less

More than likely they recognize him. Social wasps can recognize individual faces, and his (and his hand) are around them so often and bringing them food that they're used to him and "know" he isn't a threat.

thank god someone else does this too

@@grey_street i do it also, i hate stuff with stingers

i would jump on a crocodile. swim with sharks idfc. a wasp gets within 20 feet of me. im nopein the fuck out.

@@JS-rv3et bro frrrrr

It was completely surreal

@@sassythesasquatch6847facts xd

Thanks man!

@@TheDrPlants I used to have a wasp nest on the top of door frame. Never bothered me or swarmed me. I could even stand in the doorway smoking a cigarette and still nothing. Believe it or not the could recognize strangers and would start flying around if someone came to the door. They were the best guard animal😍. Dont be a stranger and knock🤣

I would love to see those pictures 🥰

Yeah I was in a swarm of tarantula hawks in Zion. They were going crazy over some milkweed there was a few dozen of them but they didn’t bother me.

The only time I ever got stung was at a baseball game, a ground bee was interested in the sugary smell of a Gatorade bottle I had opened, and I just watched as the ground bee landed on my hand and started sniffing at the bottle I was holding. Unprovoked, unspooked it just stung me and left. I know ground bees don't represent the norm but they're meaner than wasps.

The species I have the most experience with is _Polistes carolina_ . Though not very aggressive, they do have one of the more painful stings among commonly encountered wasps in my region, probably second to only the cow killer.

They didn’t attack you because you didn’t bother them.

Same

@@JJ-df8sn same

It’s so easy

They didn’t train the wasp. They just don’t see him as a threat

I've heard Wasps are territotial insects, i don't think new wasps will build another colony unless you get rid off the empty nest

Thank you!

Wow that’s awesome! Definitely an interesting concept to look into!

I’ve just finished my final year at Sussex! No idea they had this there, that’s awesome

@@josephmonti-kaye2487 Ah no wayy, It's just up the road from the JMS building, kinda hard to find tho haha

Thats not true. If im eating a ice and it comes to try stealing my food IT is the invader. Also if they then stuck on the ice and free themself they often get agressive and sting you. Or try.

The other popular Wagner song wod have been even more appropriate: Flight of the Bumblebee.

Its not a wasp its a gorilla

They look so creepy.

Polistes exclamans, aka Guinea paper wasp

@@alexvasquez5053 it translates to "calling the police" lol

@@alexvasquez5053 Thanks
