Actually that record is held by a grandmother and granddaughter who rushed to help a man being attacked by killer bees while the paramedics stood by because it was too dangerous for them and the grandmother knew she was allergic to bee stings on top of everything!

And they sent a whole team of people to WA State to take out one nest and this guy does it alone with a pick, a couple of plastic juice bottles and another smaller jar to catch the stragglers lol. Total respect for him.
It's the difference between private initiative and bureaucratic largess, government agencies have zero monetary discipline or efficiency incentive. They don't care if it costs $1B to remove a solitary nest in fact they like it that way.

@@jimlee3236 yeah he did, but while watching the video my mind was just taking me to that place of what if? I really have no knowledge of the subject matter.
I've lived in SE Asia off and on since the 90's and the most impressive thing I saw is that he's in a neoprene armored space suit in what is probably 90 degree weather with 100% humidity. Got stung by one of those suckers one time hiking in Hong Kong. Luckily I had a small onion with me - specifically for wasp stings - and to my delight squishing a piece of onion until it was juicy and taping it on the sting spot worked almost as well as it does with smaller wasps. The only real difference was the actual tissue trauma inflicted by the giant stinger and/or those jaws. Kudos to this guy for being a real life boss.
From my limited mandarin understanding, most of what he's saying is remarking on what he's doing atm: 0:40 - We're looking for disturbed earth, which indicates the presence of the nest . 1:09 - We tagged [a hornet] at the base of the mountain, but we lost track of it, so we're tagging another one. We're not advancing any further (in danger of stumbling upon the nest). 1:24 - He said that one of them has gone to the opposite mountain face to see where exactly the hornet is heading. It's too dangerous (to just keep pushing forward). 2:00 - We just wasted another half an hour, and it's raining now. We're now in a 5 meter by 5 meter proximity of the nest, and are going to eliminate the nest. It's time to gear up. 2:25 - We've made a brand new hornet trap just for today. As for the nest, as there's a village nearby, we're going to exterminate them all. Let's go over to the entrance. 2:48 - Do you see the entrance? The tag is even still there. You can see the hornets moving the soil. 3:58 - We see the nest, it's a pretty big hole. Looks like three layers. 4:14 - It's more or less exposed, looks like three layers. Looks pretty full (?), let's remove it and take a look. 4:43 - It looks pretty full(?). 4 Layers. It weighs around 7 jin (3.5kg/7.7lbs). 4:59 - We're just catching the remaining hornets. 5:42 - Here's the queen. 6:02 - Look, the stinger is stuck in my glove. Look how long it is. 6:28 - We're removing our suits just 3 meters from where the nest was. This is because we exterminated the entire colony today. We exterminated the entire colony because they're very close to a village, 5-6 bee hives that way, and also a road. If they were on a mountain where people don't visit, I would recommend leaving some of them so as not to exterminate the entire colony. 6:53 - It seems to weigh around 7 jin (3.5kg/7.7lbs), and there's about 200 hornets in this container. There's more in this one, probably about 300.

This was absolutely fascinating. Thank you to people in the comments section who were able to translate some of the conversation. I can only imagine the nightmare of stumbling upon a nest like this without the proper gear on.
A brave hero. Watching that was terrifying. I cannot imagine doing what he did while smiling and casually explaining what he's doing. Nothing but RESPECT for this bad-ass.
So calm,cool & cavalier.He is no doubt definitely a professional in this feild.Accidentaly falling onto a bee hive,whilst collecting Nature Honey,could not be any worse. Imagine the painful excrutiation seering pangs of a regular standard sized Wasp.Then think of similarities of pressurized poisonous injections, within the major differences incomparison to such an insect.
That was absolutely incredible to watch! I’ve never seen someone take out a massive hornets nest by themselves, only using a large plastic bottle, a pick-axe, a glass jar, and a fly-swatter. This guy knows exactly what he’s doing and he’s extremely good at it. The hornets here in the United States can be dangerous but I know that the Asian variety are extremely dangerous, especially if you’re a bee keeper. One Asian hornet can annihilate an entire bee hive by standing in front of the hive entrance by chopping every single bee in half by using their mandibles. Asian hornets are a force to be reckoned with.
They're *very* territorial if I've read right. As people build more into forests, they run the risk of stumbling on natural nests. Apparently they'll warn you first by grinding their mandibles together and like, flapping their wings all together (like they're hitting a spear against the ground or something, yeesh-). When they attack, they use chemical messages to communicate with the rest of the hive. So when one goes on the attack, it's like they leave a flare on you saying "intruder!" and everyone else comes to drive you away.
Mostly right, but it actually takes2-5 Japanese Hornets to destroy a nest, because if it's only one.. bees Have a neat trick where thousands of them do a giant dog pile on the single intruder, covering it completely. Then they all begin to vibrate so fast that they create massive amounts of heat, literally cooking/melting the loan intruder. It's actually quite interesting 💯👍
@@XXhite That is a neat trick. I had no idea bees will dog pile the intruder to the point where they’re basically cooking them from all their internal heat. Thank you so much for the info and take care!👍🏻

Sure makes the bee suits we use here in Florida look like painter clothes. That suit, while hot, is definately what I would want to use when they get to Florida!
I live in South Fl, and yeah, I'd bet you'd bake in those. Sounds like they come with a battery operated fan to pull in air through some small mesh opening, like the one they have in those inflatable dinosaur costumes. I think you can hear it running when he's facing the camera
Yeah, I bet they could easily sting through stuff like heavy cotton and denim. They could probably chew their way through pretty fast too if it came to it. That suit looks like an outer layer of mesh with a core of thick foam and likely an inner mesh to keep the foam in place. Makes sense though. You'd want at least half an inch of material between those fuckers and your flesh. All it would take is for one of them to make it inside the suit and you'd be having a very bad day. Hell, we just have Vespula Vulgaris here in the UK and they're bad enough.
@@mosesa2305 Yeah. They'll sting you just for the sake of it. And unlike bees, they don't rip their own guts out as the sting isn't barbed so an individual wasp can and will sting multiple times. They'll also happily wipe out entire bee hives. Don't get me wrong, they're not as huge as the ones in this video but they make up for it with sheer horribleness. Highly aggressive especially in autumn when the weather changes and their food sources start to run out. Nests can get super feisty. Then again, they don't have the term Vulgaris in their name for nothing although you might know them simply as "Yellow Jackets". They're arseholes with wings.
@@Crimsonedge1 Thanks. when in the UK I've seen yellow jackets around my property, like 1 or 2 flying around. Thankfully haven't been stung, they buzz around me sometimes and I walk away. Just 1 or 2 probably means I'm not near their nest and hence not a danger. However will have to be much more careful.
Yeah I thought that! A bit like on horror movies where they hide away in a closet to get away from a "baddie" They manage to hide well enough that the baddie doesn't find them& so leaves the room/ building. But then the person comes out from hiding straight away! I would stay in that closet for like half a day so I was sure the baddie had gone! (In this case the baddie is the murder hornets!) :-p Fair play to him though for killing those nasty things. Die murder hornets, die!!!
Love this Video!! The Americans have had a recent invasion of the Hornets in the Pacific North West, Then mucked about with tagging a wasp with a bluetooth transmitter these boys just tag one with a piece of ribbon that they can see and follow it back to the nest
@@persephone2706 They have been using the ribbon method in Japan and mainland Asia for generations, its low tech and the weight of the ribbon is enough to slow down the Hornet and keep it in view, High tech doesn't always mean better.
@@vaughanellis7866 you realize that they did lose track of the hornet at some point right? Part of the beginning was about how they found the one with the tracker again.
Came across a few of those when I was visiting the mountains here, and they were ABSOLUTELY HORRIFYING. They are so big, and the sound that they make is just scary. Glad that there are operations like these to remove them.
@@pumpkinchucker4953 Could be Iso (Alcohol) but in most cases all you need is soapy water . They breathe through their abdomen and the soap will suffocate them, it doesnt take much . Cheers .
@@ammocan2796 We could _all_ handle it? You sure about that? I believe that even with that suit most people would get PTSD from attempting it. Camera doesn't do it justice. That must be a very intense experience, even not getting stung. Like bullets whizzing all around him constantly.
@@ammocan2796 I think what you meant is that, with such a suit, it looks very safe and anyone "could" (in theory) do it. But I'd say not many would actually (in practice) be able to do it and do it well, especially without supervision. Personally, it would (in theory) be very therapeutic for me (as I have a phobia of wasps), but I would be kidding myself if I'd think I would be able to do it. These giant hornets have made it so much easier for me to handle the puny wasps I otherwise would encounter where I live, but my phobia is still there, and probably will never disappear fully.
That buzzing is very intimidating, the quantity of demons in that one nest is horrifying! He waves that orange net around like Sponge Bob Squarepants Jelly Fishing😂😂
Probably has adaptively developed some resistance to the venom, similar to bee and snake handlers have some resistance. Thankyou for your service. The hornets, similar to many other insects, can develop immunity to pesticides, so after catching them they could be destroyed simply by pouring plenty of strong alcohol into the bottles. Ethanol would not poison ground water as bad as isopropyl or methanol, and after the big catch and nest removal operation, it would be good to soak the nest area with ethanol to destroy any stragglers. Ethanol also would probably destroy any hornet chemical pheromones.
Thank you for posting this video. I had no idea they could fly against that kind of drag! You may be able to take advantage of their heat intolerance by tacking black plastic over the ground nest, and letting the sun help your work.
I imagine they would dig out in another direction....I think giving them time to figure it out might not work. But who knows....it might....I think using their super aggressive nature and just having something like a bottle over the exit/entrance hole and agitating the ground...sending them into overdrive. Lol. They don't even think.....they just fly out to kill...to their own detriment.
@@Aaron-yw7ji Oh damn, that's pretty weird for anything that has a solitary phase to return to having multiples in cooperation, or is there only one founding queen and the rest are just offspring? We have argentine ants being all invasive and shit over here in NZ and they do the same thing but with inter-nest cooperation on top, a lot less deadly though (at least to us).
I would love if you enabled others to translate this into different languages! It's somewhere in the video settings. Even if you add a transcript in the original language it will help. Thanks! EDIT: Your country's landscape is SO beautiful!
If he believes in himself GHAT much well dammit so do I!! Exceptional job my friend. Amazing. Too bad they’re so invasive and murderous! They’re some cool ass specimens of insect. Probably THEE coolest but we seriously can’t let them live. They cut off our means to survive n eliminate us…it’s us or them lol.
This video is a lot more fun when you imagine he's a vengeful avatar summoned by the honey bees of the region performing a desperate dark ritual to defeat the giant hornets constantly raiding them
Even if I had that suit on, inside a military tank that has been encased in concrete, I still wouldn't go near their nest. Much respect for these guys.

Some of the hornets being grabbed directly from the combs are probably teneral, meaning they've emerged recently, and are relatively feeble, unaggressive, incapable of flying, and of rather drab coloration. It takes a couple days for them to mature completely after emerging from their cocoons (which are in the cells having the white caps, which the insects chew open when they emerge).
@@amberbob2634 Yes, that can happen. Bees and wasps aren't even defensive when they first emerge from their cocoons--and aren't really capable of stinging for at least a day or so. That changes soon enough, unless the enemy actually invades the nest such as one or more of these hornets.
the fact that this guy literally needs to wear half a hazmat suit to be protected from insects a fraction of his size. these things are inhumanely effective and the absolute stuff of nightmares

@@rekkorder karen lmao insects btw
Crazy he just takes the suit off in the same spot
He took it to a different spot. Just brought nest with him.
@@hydraxc2478 he meant when he zipped it down I believe, when he first got all of them
His big balls needed fresh air.
I would’ve walked at least a mile and a half away from the site before I took my suit off.
True victory!
That was the most clever way I've seen of catching the hornets and preventing a big swarm. Brilliant dude!!
These guys are smart, and brave and pretty tough. What an awesome job. You guys are heroes, keep up the good work!
A brave hero. Watching that was terrifying. I cannot imagine doing what he did while smiling and casually explaining what he's doing. Nothing but RESPECT for this bad-ass.
It would be terrifying if he didn't have a suit.
So calm,cool & cavalier.He is no doubt definitely a professional in this feild.Accidentaly falling onto a bee hive,whilst collecting Nature Honey,could not be any worse. Imagine the painful excrutiation seering pangs of a regular standard sized Wasp.Then think of similarities of pressurized poisonous injections, within the major differences incomparison to such an insect.
Bcs they enjoy it and used to it
@@FrYLocK41 He would be dead
He has a suit the hornets can't penetrate. There's no reason to be afraid
That was absolutely incredible to watch! I’ve never seen someone take out a massive hornets nest by themselves, only using a large plastic bottle, a pick-axe, a glass jar, and a fly-swatter. This guy knows exactly what he’s doing and he’s extremely good at it. The hornets here in the United States can be dangerous but I know that the Asian variety are extremely dangerous, especially if you’re a bee keeper. One Asian hornet can annihilate an entire bee hive by standing in front of the hive entrance by chopping every single bee in half by using their mandibles. Asian hornets are a force to be reckoned with.
They're *very* territorial if I've read right. As people build more into forests, they run the risk of stumbling on natural nests. Apparently they'll warn you first by grinding their mandibles together and like, flapping their wings all together (like they're hitting a spear against the ground or something, yeesh-).
When they attack, they use chemical messages to communicate with the rest of the hive. So when one goes on the attack, it's like they leave a flare on you saying "intruder!" and everyone else comes to drive you away.
Mostly right, but it actually takes2-5 Japanese Hornets to destroy a nest, because if it's only one.. bees Have a neat trick where thousands of them do a giant dog pile on the single intruder, covering it completely. Then they all begin to vibrate so fast that they create massive amounts of heat, literally cooking/melting the loan intruder. It's actually quite interesting 💯👍
@@XXhite That is a neat trick. I had no idea bees will dog pile the intruder to the point where they’re basically cooking them from all their internal heat. Thank you so much for the info and take care!👍🏻

Love the children’s rock pool net, reminds me of days gone by at the beach when I was a child. Huge beasties.
Big props to the person who tied that plastic to that hornet. You are the real hero here.
Sure makes the bee suits we use here in Florida look like painter clothes. That suit, while hot, is definately what I would want to use when they get to Florida!
I live in South Fl, and yeah, I'd bet you'd bake in those. Sounds like they come with a battery operated fan to pull in air through some small mesh opening, like the one they have in those inflatable dinosaur costumes. I think you can hear it running when he's facing the camera
Yeah, I bet they could easily sting through stuff like heavy cotton and denim. They could probably chew their way through pretty fast too if it came to it. That suit looks like an outer layer of mesh with a core of thick foam and likely an inner mesh to keep the foam in place. Makes sense though. You'd want at least half an inch of material between those fuckers and your flesh. All it would take is for one of them to make it inside the suit and you'd be having a very bad day. Hell, we just have Vespula Vulgaris here in the UK and they're bad enough.
@@Crimsonedge1 Are Vespula Vulgaris aggressive? do they sting people randomly?
@@mosesa2305 Yeah. They'll sting you just for the sake of it. And unlike bees, they don't rip their own guts out as the sting isn't barbed so an individual wasp can and will sting multiple times. They'll also happily wipe out entire bee hives.
Don't get me wrong, they're not as huge as the ones in this video but they make up for it with sheer horribleness. Highly aggressive especially in autumn when the weather changes and their food sources start to run out. Nests can get super feisty.
Then again, they don't have the term Vulgaris in their name for nothing although you might know them simply as "Yellow Jackets".
They're arseholes with wings.
@@Crimsonedge1 Thanks.
when in the UK I've seen yellow jackets around my property, like 1 or 2 flying around. Thankfully haven't been stung, they buzz around me sometimes and I walk away. Just 1 or 2 probably means I'm not near their nest and hence not a danger. However will have to be much more careful.
Wow, so many and such a huge nest! That suit was crazy, I wouldn't be taking that suit off until I was far away from that area!
i mean, ever..
I was imagining a couple of squadrons coming back from patrol at that very moment.
Yeah I thought that! A bit like on horror movies where they hide away in a closet to get away from a "baddie" They manage to hide well enough that the baddie doesn't find them& so leaves the room/ building. But then the person comes out from hiding straight away! I would stay in that closet for like half a day so I was sure the baddie had gone! (In this case the baddie is the murder hornets!) :-p Fair play to him though for killing those nasty things. Die murder hornets, die!!!
That's what I was thinking
when he finally takes off the suit he said that they had gone quite a ways away from the original site of the hive
Amazing!!!!😱😱😱😱 This helps bees and the plants which are very important. Thanks to this person
Thank you for doing this highly dangerous removal. We need more people like you to help eliminate deaths from these monsters. So terrifying!
This guy is my hero. I want to be on his team. I thought I had trouble with hornets in my backyard but that is crazy and I'm a bee keeper.
Love this Video!! The Americans have had a recent invasion of the Hornets in the Pacific North West, Then mucked about with tagging a wasp with a bluetooth transmitter these boys just tag one with a piece of ribbon that they can see and follow it back to the nest
I was thinking the exact same thing.
Do you realize how easy it is to lose that wasp though? A transmitter is much easier...
@@persephone2706 They have been using the ribbon method in Japan and mainland Asia for generations, its low tech and the weight of the ribbon is enough to slow down the Hornet and keep it in view, High tech doesn't always mean better.
@@persephone2706 exactly!
@@vaughanellis7866 you realize that they did lose track of the hornet at some point right? Part of the beginning was about how they found the one with the tracker again.
Came across a few of those when I was visiting the mountains here, and they were ABSOLUTELY HORRIFYING. They are so big, and the sound that they make is just scary. Glad that there are operations like these to remove them.

@@ammocan2796 We could _all_ handle it? You sure about that? I believe that even with that suit most people would get PTSD from attempting it. Camera doesn't do it justice. That must be a very intense experience, even not getting stung. Like bullets whizzing all around him constantly.
@@ammocan2796 I think what you meant is that, with such a suit, it looks very safe and anyone "could" (in theory) do it.
But I'd say not many would actually (in practice) be able to do it and do it well, especially without supervision. Personally, it would (in theory) be very therapeutic for me (as I have a phobia of wasps), but I would be kidding myself if I'd think I would be able to do it. These giant hornets have made it so much easier for me to handle the puny wasps I otherwise would encounter where I live, but my phobia is still there, and probably will never disappear fully.
That buzzing is very intimidating, the quantity of demons in that one nest is horrifying! He waves that orange net around like Sponge Bob Squarepants Jelly Fishing😂😂
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Probably has adaptively developed some resistance to the venom, similar to bee and snake handlers have some resistance. Thankyou for your service.
The hornets, similar to many other insects, can develop immunity to pesticides, so after catching them they could be destroyed simply by pouring plenty of strong alcohol into the bottles. Ethanol would not poison ground water as bad as isopropyl or methanol, and after the big catch and nest removal operation, it would be good to soak the nest area with ethanol to destroy any stragglers. Ethanol also would probably destroy any hornet chemical pheromones.
can you use an vacuumcleaner aswell?
No vacuums, just a butterfly net. What a legend!
Not sure what that sound was around the 5:30 mark but sure sounded like a vacuum. Maybe it was his suit?
@@RichWeigel yes, that's definitely a vacuum. But he doesn't use it to collect the hornets.
@@RichWeigel there's a general fan sound throughout the time he's wearing his suit, i think it is for ventilation
Thank you for posting this video.
I had no idea they could fly against that kind of drag! You may be able to take advantage of their heat intolerance by tacking black plastic over the ground nest, and letting the sun help your work.
These things are machines. Probably still keep going if they lost a wing...asymmetric flight...no problem.
@@bv3bv334 bunch of Rutans, eh?
I imagine they would dig out in another direction....I think giving them time to figure it out might not work. But who knows....it might....I think using their super aggressive nature and just having something like a bottle over the exit/entrance hole and agitating the ground...sending them into overdrive. Lol. They don't even think.....they just fly out to kill...to their own detriment.
Brilliant! Well done 👏
Waving that little net 🤘😂🤘 Dude's a boss!
At 5:42 it looks like he grabbed a queen...that would prevent one less nest from re-establishing itself. This is amazing work!
Yup, that was the queen
@@jorgesabori1222 a* queen. Giant hornets can and will have multiples in the nest.
@@Aaron-yw7ji Oh damn, that's pretty weird for anything that has a solitary phase to return to having multiples in cooperation, or is there only one founding queen and the rest are just offspring? We have argentine ants being all invasive and shit over here in NZ and they do the same thing but with inter-nest cooperation on top, a lot less deadly though (at least to us).
@@Aaron-yw7ji I was just translating what he said...had no idea these could have more than one queen. That makes them even more scarier, damn!
I really wanted the queen to get more screen time. She looked fucking HUGE

Great work my friend 🐝 👍
Some of the hornets being grabbed directly from the combs are probably teneral, meaning they've emerged recently, and are relatively feeble, unaggressive, incapable of flying, and of rather drab coloration. It takes a couple days for them to mature completely after emerging from their cocoons (which are in the cells having the white caps, which the insects chew open when they emerge).
I’d be pissed if I was a bee that just emerged from my nest, ready to live my life and then this guy comes
@@amberbob2634 Yes, that can happen. Bees and wasps aren't even defensive when they first emerge from their cocoons--and aren't really capable of stinging for at least a day or so. That changes soon enough, unless the enemy actually invades the nest such as one or more of these hornets.
