@@p__kinggWhen you are afraid in the presence of these little fellas they can tell. You put out a pheromone that they percieve as aggression since fear and anger release the "danger" pheromone.

The wasps around your house are surprisingly docile. The ones around here will dive bomb you just for walking under their nest! Got stung in the back of the neck once for doing exactly that.
I never got stung by wasp nor bees in my entire life how fortunate. :D bees supprisling took a likeing to me ;-; and I have a allergy to pollen witch is super bad but they still liked me
I got stung by a wasp on my ankle when I was younger and it became so swollen I couldn’t walk on in for a few days... They made a nest in the ball of a trailer hitch that we rarely used and I was running and jumped over it putting one leg on it to launch myself over, was definitely the worst game of tag ever.
I have a pet ant colony fed them a peach once and they follow me inside and wouldn't leave me so I had my mom order me an ant farm habit and they are really happy now
We had a nest of these up above our second floor patio. I could go out and cook on the grill, sit out there and read, take a nap in the hammock directly under them and once in a while one would come investigate me, then go back to the nest, never once got stung. My wife on the other hand couldn't even come out the door to the patio and they'd run her back in the house. 🤣 Some guys have a man cave, I had a man patio, complete with air superiority/ flying patrols.
"Welcome to my home! Over here at have the living room, down the hall is the master bedroom. We have a large kitchen and dining room. Also the wasp room.... We don't go in there anymore"
These are paper wasps which are a pretty chill species. Please don't kill them if you have them somewhere at your house, they don't hurt bees but do the same job as pollinators. Also they keep yellowjackets away (the common aggressive Vespula species).
If there’s a nest on my porch, I don’t care how beneficial or chill they are, I’m buying some wasp spray and hosing them down. If it’s just on some random tree I’ll leave it alone, but my house is off limits.
@truthseeker2222 Same! We have a small pool in our farm, whenever we are swimming they'd stop by to drink water and keep us company. The only few times I remember getting stung by these were when I accidentally stepped on them
LOL! I had a nest of these in one corner of my porch, a nest of brown paper wasps in the opposite, and right under the yellow-striped paper wasps I had a cardboard box with a HUGE yellow jacket nest in it! They were all chill with each other and me. There were no pests in my house that summer! 😂
I have an uncontrollable fear of wasps and bees and. Hornets I am unsure why I thought watching this video was ok but when I see wasps I tense up and I can only run I don’t have fight or flight I have runaway and get someone to kill for me
If you are afraid of them that is why they are aggressive toward you. The fear pheromone is percieved the same as anger and since they communicate by pheromones they become more aggressive when scared people are around.
hope it gets better for you. phobias are hard to control even if you know they're irrational, but if it's any help, these pretty fellas are the friend edition of wasps. they'll leave you be if you don't seem threatening- they're a lot more afraid of you than you are of them.
Wasps make great pets! I did this as a kid, I had a huge nest in my roll top desk, the wasps came out the gap in the top. When I was in my room they would sometimes fly on me. One day my mom grabbed my precious wasp nest in a shirt and threw it out the window. I replaced them with rattle snakes to try and ease the grief of losing my wasps.
"Oh man guys, I don't know if this is a good idea." You're absolutely right, because that is not only awesome and ballsy af, but also damn brilliant! 😎 I salute your courage.
They imprint much like birds. If you are all they see when they emerge and you're bringing food, they'll mord readily accept you with little to no aggression. In the future, you can do something I call "light herding" with wasps: In a dark room, they go straight to where a light is shining. So put a small led light right above or on the nest, and with the lights off and only the led on, they'll all go straight to the light on the nest. When you capture a nest, do it right at sundown.. Everyone is home and you don't miss any or end up with angry wasps getting home to something they don't like. Also, I've discovered that organic dates are every wasps absolute favorite, and figs. Don't forget to have some plain torn cardboard where they can easily get to the edges. They'll build amazing nests with that stuff.
I actually like this guy. I've made friends with the spiders in my house, mainly because they kill roaches. I let them stay and chill out and they make their little webs near the windows. They can stay and chill as long as they kill and eat the bugs I don't want there.
I befriended one and gave him wasps and other stuff i happened to kill , but then i had to kill him too because he became the size of a hand palm (legs included) and i got scared it might bite my cats.
I've "played" with these creatures (and with yellow jackets, hornets and bumble bees) for some five decades, and one thing I've learned is that it's NEVER a good idea to risk a jar full of insects to capture an additional one, because of the risk of losing those already captured (and possibly getting multiple stings as a result or damaging the nest) although they would return to the original nesting site. In this case it was nearly certain the one still-at-large wasp would continue to return to the nesting site, so it could be captured later, such as in a net. I have found that nests of this species of paper wasp (Polistes exclamans, in some areas referred to as the "guinea wasp") can be moved if built on a portable object without the insects flying off as long as it isn't jerked, or rapid movements made. Other species, such as P. fuscatus and metricus, and likely to fly off their nest with any attempt to move the nest is made. An attempt should have been made to retrieve the pedicel of the nest, and then glue it back onto the nest. By doing this, the nest could have been attached to the lower edge of the board to allow the cells to open essentially downward (as in nature) as well as allowing the wasps to walk on the top of the nest. The first nest collected was small enough that it could have been mounted this way. One can put a little honey on their wings so they can't fly until the other wasps lick it off--this would make transferring them much easier, faster and safer. Recently-emerged wasps of some species, including this one, can be recognized be several means, but even when a bit older, the compound eyes are dark; as the insects age, the eyes get lighter in color. At least some species will attack and sting even after having been fed. I had collected a few baldfaced hornet (Dolichovespula maculata) workers while they were lapping up sap from an oak tree, and kept them in a jar indoors for a few days, adding honey to keep them fed. I collected a worker from some 20 miles away and added it to the jar, where it was promptly attacked and killed by the others. Sometime afterward, I was feeding one without having it enclosed in a container, and after feeding it promptly flew at my leg and stung it. I got her back into the jar. While looking around the oak tree, I discovered a well-developed, active nest on one of the branches, so I'm quite sure these individuals came from that nest. I suspect that these workers, when kept together, had just enough of a social structure to become defensive just as if they had been taken at their nest. However, individual workers collected in the field and kept alone never became aggressive, even if kept in a container with one or more workers of other species, and never attacked if released.
Wasps aren’t our enemy either. I literally just held a Yellowjacket which groomed itself calmly standing on my hand, knowing very well I was alive and flying off the moment I twitched slightly.
Actually more times than not WE are their enemy. Even vibration can piss them off. Simply walking near a nest or even stepping on a criunchy leaf nearby can set the whole crew off. Ive seen it…

i am amazed that he is able to take care of wasps without ticking them off and getting stung
I always feel so many emotions watching these lmao
Why?
@@cosmicrophoneticino I'm a lil bitch when it comes to wasps xD so watching gives me anxiety, but I love watching them hahah
@@fluffyjerma8649 lol. Oh
@@fluffyjerma8649 we're in the same situation here.
Fluffy Jerma lmao, I’m only scared of them because my mom always screams at anything that can fly.
This guy has a personality. I just like how enthusiastic and vocal he is.
One day this guys house will turn into a HUGE wasp nest.
Amd they well make him the god of wasps

Last time I met a wasp it was stuck in my hair, bit me, fell out and died.

I got bit by a mosquito. TWICE. ON THE SAME HAND
@@ZanVXD014 eee.- that’s no good
I'm impressed. It's crazy but interesting to see if can succeed in this project. Best of luck.
I'm hopefull about this one :)
He hasnt succeeded yet. I feel like he low key just trolls hard, and kills these wasps in a odd way of flex. Just my opinion tho.
Unbrala wasps is no aggressive
This is amazing this proof that we can have a relationship with all these species of life.
I mean wow just wow he dinet even get stung AMAZING
Coaxing wasps with honey like a drug pusher- so funny.
“Honey solves all yo’ problems.”
“Need to have sticky skin? Eat honey,”
“Need to tame a wasp? Tame them with honey.’
“Your friend betrayed you because she/ he killed your wasp friends?….”
*”drown them in honey”*

it’s crazy how you can see them communicating like, should we trust this big finger

Bees: “is it really freedom tho”
Those a are wasps not bees.

A little about me. I’m a wasp keeper. I’m totally freaking insane - this guy definetly
Event to years I can’t believe that I still love this video to this day
I always just bring them back outside when I find them buzzing around, but this.. , this is some next level shit
'Maybe if I put my finger in there they'll come out faster'
Is anyone else screaming "JUST PUT IT DOWN AND LEAVE!" in a fetal position ball of anxiety?
Me
me
Nope they will f u up
Seem a bit weak
You won't be so happy with them when they chew into your wall and expand their nest in your walls
And boy are they good at that! Just a few of them can chew a crawl hole through 4 inches of brick mortar in under an hour....

"Good example of a bad example." LOL
You are so brave. It was hard to watch but very interesting so I watched the whole thing.
I've fed a yellowjacket off my finger but I've never decided to bother a whole nest 🤣 you're brave
Why would you do that bro 🤔😤
This is not bravery, this is insanity.
These are not yellow jackets. They are paper wasps.
Coron Nation@ they weren’t talking about the wasps in the video
I once bothered an entire nest of yellow jackets. Let’s just say I was dusted with wasps clinging and stinging me.
I'm surprised how he will sleep with frickn wasps in his room-
He won’t sleep
Covered in oil
He doesn’t sleep in that specific room.
@@elsie_edits7197 yea
For anyone watching with anxiety, waiting for him to get stung: Here is when he gets stung 8:13
Thank you now I can skip it and won't be scared any more
THANK YOU

me quarter way through reading description: poor guy
Spoilers jerk ! !
@@nal004 You really thought he wasn't going to get stung? The man's playing with wasps, bro.
I just love how he screams 😆
1. The colonies are going to fight
2. Wasps can chew through drywall. It's pretty easy.
they wont fight if they adopt each other or alliance

Fun Fact.
There is evidence the Japanese Hornet (the “Murder Hornet”) has been killing native Wasps and Hornets.
So now Josh is trying to save these guys from the Japanese Hornet now!😅
I haven't seen this evidence. Do you have a link?
what do you think would happen if a Japanese Hornet Met a Bald Faced Hornet nest (like Colony vs Colony)

@@Cuptamus_Prime Woosh bro, it was a joke.
I enjoyed watching this, as it is, i do enjoy watching Bumble Bees collect pollen , i have stood and watched them do it for a about 30 mins a few time over the years. Where i currently work, i do see "MUD DOBBERS" (i was told that's what that type of Wasp is called) a lot. After seeing this ,i might try it one day.
"I don't know if this is a good idea"
No dip Sherlock
He’s literally bringing wasps into his house like it’s a typical day while I’m screaming at the top of my lungs and running away from a wasp that’s 10 yards away from me-
Lol
can you feel their little tounges when they are licking the honey off you finger
0:45 he says he can feel their tongues did you miss that??
@@skunkyaroma5662 thanks for pointing it out for me:)

I can feel her tongue when she's sucking it off too

him: hey there cute little wasps :D
This gave me sooo much anxiety
Me too 😳 not sure why I thought it was a good idea to watch the whole thing 😅
That poor wasp. She gets home from work and finds out that the family is moving.
You clearly had so much fun with this. Thank you for this nerve-racking but hilarious ride of a video, I would not have gotten through the whole thing without you constantly laughing and having a blast even when everything was going catastrophically wrong.
It’s 4am, watching a video from nearly 4 years ago… what a wonderful time
Josh: OH SHE MAD
Also josh: *Continues to hit the jar*
how does this man have the courage to single handedly take each wasp to a different place not scared of being stung
I mean it’s just a little sting. Or a few. Unless you’re allergic to their venom, I don’t see why people are deathly afraid of their stings
@@winglessfairy564 you havent been stung by a wasp. "a little sting" its a 9/10 on pain and when i got stung for doing NOTHING just standing there and i literally screamed out loud in pain. multiple minutes aswell.
I have apiphobia so I could never ☺️☺️🥹
@@laileee33 i kinda fear bees but they're not that bad tbh since their stings arent too bad. first time i got stung by a bee i thought it was a wasp tho and i was super scared thinking it would get much worse in a few seconds
@@virtualcommando7098 Yes, I actually have been stung 😹😹
I love how even after getting stung he's still like "give me the creachers." His amount of trust in these wasps is legendary
'oh man guys, i dont know if this is a good idea"
famous last words
1st time I see someone try to calm down wasps using tactics made for dogs.
There's a wasp colony right outside of my window and to be honest i was scared shitless and when I came across this video i worked up all my courage to feed them honey off my finger and now i can't go a day without hanging with them, i love them so much they are my orange little babies🐝❤🐝❤🐝❤🐝
💀💀
Nice
@@estephanucha I agree 💀
🤔
Bro y’all dumb 💀❤️
If I tried to do this I would 100% twitch and throw the wasp at the wall accidentally, and then all of them would be following me trying to sting me
