  • A client asked me to remove a European Hornet (Vespa crabro) nest from a massive tree trunk! The tree was going to be felled, so the client asked that I cut the nest out and remove completely. I used my chainsaw and cut the tree trunk to expose the entire nest!
    I removed the nest from the client's property and took it home to feed it to my Chickens, Emus, Rhea, and Squirrel!

    That was a big nest. I think this is the 2nd nest I seen you remove from inside a tree. It amazes how they are able to tunnel out the inside of the tree to build their nest. I'M glad we don't have the European Hornet down here. Your channel has really grown and you are deserving of every sub. Your videos are always interesting and well done!

    • @HornetKingOfficial
      @HornetKingOfficial  Рік тому +6

      Thanks so much, man!
      European Hornets are the 3rd inhabitants of these Hollow tree spaces. First it's carpenter ants. The turn the heartwood into Swiss cheese and it starts to rot. Then squirrels chew it out to tunnel up through. Then beetle grubs start working the perimeter out further. THEN the queen Hornet starts her colony in there. They will chew out rotting wood down to the hard wood to make room for the comb to grow. That's why the walls in there were so smooth. But they didn't create that cavity. That was years in the making.

    wait.... did you just say "AND MY SQUIRREL?" I had a pet squirrel when I was little! We found him abandoned by his mom on the ground (maybe a bird tried to eat him? who knows) and bottle raised him until he was old enough to go back to nature. Didnt let him get too comfy around humans because we wanted him to survive when we released him, but he would jump on your shoulder and ride around the house. Eat nuts from your hand and stuff. So fun. He went outside after about a year and stayed around our backyard for a few years. Not sure what happened to him after that but he was super cool. His name was Squirrely-Q
    Also, that species didn't seem very aggressive at all! Surprising because I always thought most hornets were born d--kheads.

    Seems like these Europeans were fairly easy going. I take it there was no venom spraying into your eyes this time? Phew. Those were some great shots with the phone propped inside of the tree, looking up from below! I was terrified when I saw the state of your suit! Protect yourself man!
    I really liked those few videos when you did the quick species intro with the photo (with the stripe and spot pattern on the abdomen) and species name in the corner of the screen, while sharing the common name and some basic info about the species. I would love to see that each time. I think it's probably great for newbies and people who watch all of the videos like me. Especially with the yellowjackets, it helps me by hearing the common name, scientific name, etc. Without much effort, I feel like I am finally wrapping my head around that stuff, but still can't remember all of the Latin names yet. Off hand, I do remember that Vespula Germanica are German Yellowjackets, I think. I live in Northern Canada, but my sister is in DC and my parents are in NY state. Subtlety sharing all of this at the beginning of each video could have me visiting my family, and easily identifying and rattling off scientific names, like you do.
