its always weird that the hornets can tell each other to "come and help" but not to "stay away, danger"

1 bit channel, limited message to send through
you either have 0 (meaning nothing happened) or 1 (something happened)
& 1 attracts hornets

That's what having no real natural predators within your native habitat can do to your species, you will never develop a "stay away, danger" singal if you've always been the only apex predator around.
I'm LIVING FOR THESE GLUE SHEETS VS DANGEROUS WASP!!! Please continue to help out the bees and creating these videos! Greetings from Chicago!
Chicago sucks
Tambem vejo bastante os videos aqui do Brasil🇧🇷

I remember a video of a Japanese beekeeper making his own glue sheets, swinging them at flying hornets, and then grabbing the trapped hornets' abdomen to force them to sting the cardboard in order to attract other hornets. That guy was either crazy or brave.
Ive seen some ppl use flamethrowers on their nests lol
@@devilkazumi578 I'd be surprised if even Japanese exterminators could get their hands on a flamethrower. I remember some guy in America using something that looked like a flame thrower on a hornets nest, but I don't think it was an Asian Giant Hornets nest.
@@darwinskeeper421 there's a video of some residents of a village (I think it was somewhere in China) so pissd off at a massive wasp nest that was at the top of a phone poll, they rigged a drone with a blow torch and successfully incinerated it from a safe distance 🐝 🔥 fkn brutal 😅
There's another one on this channel where the guy just catches them in a bug net by attacking from underneath, as adults we tend to treat creatures with compound eyes as panoptical but it's true they can't see underneath them. Then again we can't fly 45kp/h and turn on a dime macross zero style like a hornet so honestly the net technique felt ballzy as hell
@@Suiseisexy There's also the matter of the hornets chewing a hole in the net and escaping. My understanding is that these guys are no joke.
I like how the ant was now scouting the deralict nest, dudes gonna call a crew over and bring back a feast for the colony
I suppose it's more like a clean-up crew, to remove all of the debris, refuse and wreckage, and recycle the material and nutrients.
@@Valois_Kressa-Heller I was referring to the possible hornet larvea left behind
Those Hornets are like raiders in a post-apocalyptic world.

Bruh yesss
I had a major colony of yellowjackets in my utility room. They were entering and exiting through a crack under the door. I tried various sprays but they just walked through the poison undeterred. Finally put down some glue sheets which were soon covered with them. Problem solved.
As if you need to justify eliminating pests.
I wonder could you track the hornets back to their hive and destroy it, preventing further infestations.
I've seen videos where they attach ribbons to the Scouts and watch them to see where they go back to the nest using a drone and then locate the nest ping the location and destroy it
That's what exterminators do they capture one and attach a tracker the size of a Walmart bag and let it fly back
Wow
They did that in the US when some of them were there to try to eradicate them before they gained a foothold, since they’re not native.
yes you can, but don't destroy the the hive, put with a tube some potassium smoke at the base, then 30 mn later everyone dead and never ever new hive will grow, like a bad sign for them.
Glue sheets are excellent for capturing insects in general
Glue traps are INHUMANE & should be banned. There are alternative ways like sprays to instantly kill without the endless torture of glue traps. There are electronic, multiple use mousetraps that kill so fast they barely feel it. The world would be a better place if more people had empathy.
@@somerskye2750 Maybe they're inhumane, but they aren't being used on humans, mice, or anything that you should EVER feel sorry for. They're being used on hornets that kill and raid bee colonies.(Talking about this video specfically, I don't think glue traps on mice or similar animals is the best way to get rid of them)
@Somer Skye yeahhhh we'll still use them on these hornets whether you like it or not, I'll be as inhuman as possible to them
@@somerskye2750 If you created a spray that kill Giant Hornets you are going to Be billionaire because IT DOESNT EXIST !
Thoses Hornets are a very big threat to bees and Our Ecosystem !
They very easily can kill Humans , and bigger Animals n
This is no game .
You are running your mouth behind your computer but if A nest were to exist Near your home you would probably be terrified and pray that we find a way To eredicate them .
We have to prevent their expension to Europe , Africa and America as much as we possibly can.
They are gonna murder every bees if we dont stop them .
can i use one to capture a girlfriend?
Hornets: you’ll pay for this girl
Bees: lady protector you saved our lives
Lady: no problem
Those hornets sure look mean. Like your headgear; gives good vision and protection from the rear. Thank you.
They do, but as I've heard, sometimes being big and scary is an evolutionary disadvantage because it makes you a much more noticeable threat.
I once "torched" an active hornet's nest with a can of hairspray and cigarette lighter (like a flamethrower) and it was devastating. I burned all of them
around the nest and all of those who came out were immediately wasted - very effective.
Can't believe how big those hornets are😮
Which is why we need to set glue traps for them. The less of them around the better. They serve no purpose other than to murder innocent bees who provide us with honey 🍯 fruit 🍎 and other necessities and deliver a potent sting to us.
So weird living in Japan when you realize that those glue mats don’t actually catch rats (not so easily anyway), but they’re PERFECT to eliminate _suzumebachi . . ._ 🤣
in english mate. you just sound like a tool with that spunk
A glass jar with a relatively large mouth is sufficient to catch these wasps. They are so heavy that they cannot fly upwards. Once they are in they are stuck since they cannot climb up the smooth glass surface. If they are attracted to some over ripe fruit ( grapes, figs etc. ) in a couple of inches of water at the bottom, it is a fatal trap for them. Watching them clamber on top of each other to stay out of the water is as satisfying as watching them stuck on this glue plate. ;)
I could spend all day standing there with a tennis racquet practicing my forehand.
Preferably one of those electrified, bug zapping kinds!
@@XXNerdzillaXX if those things take multiple zaps for wasps then I think one of those vs murder hornets won't kill it
@@irane-ron4268doesn’t kill them but keep them on there long enough they’ll be stunned then you can knock them to the ground to stomp on them. That’s what I do when I use the zap racket on carpenter bees.
Yea, I bet those hornet will F' You up.
Those hornets will take that racquet from you and smack you with it.
4:25 the wild colony is the weaker of the two colonies...no, you're colony has metal reinforced entrance that the wasps can't get into.
No idea why this showed up on my feed, but I am glad it did. Very informative and interesting.
Trust me it works! I decreased a Yellowjacket population at my storage unit using 2 glue traps at the base of the door(where they entered & exit)! Wiped out over half the colony! Jaw dropping results without spraying like crazy!
I actually think some fly paper will catch some too!? Jus have to set it up around their nest properly 😅😂😂😂 luckily for us they get really curious at times. I out foxed them last year!
Looks like those hornets ended up in a rather…..sticky situation.
All of em bunching up on the sheet….one could call it a ….bonding experience.
Good thing for the other colony the wasps opted to….stick around the first one.
Despite being out in the sun, those hornets looked rather…..pastey.
And that was the yearly recommended dose of horrible puns.
I imagined you doing the David Caruso sunglasses thing from CSI: Miami after each one of these XD
INAFF
@@mcmuinorac5848 but ina would have approved of the puns
I liked them.
weird, it's literally the second video I watch in close proximity where someone wrote his collection of pretty good puns into the comments, even how it's formatted is similar, wtf? I'm in the matrix of good pun comments on YT, would recommend
edit: If someone is interested, it was about a Slovenian girl who cut off her hand in hopes of getting an insurance pay out and dude literally wrote she was looking for handouts and shlt, I lost it 😂😂😂
I used this same method to remove (last summer/early fall)Yellowjackets from my storage unit! Tried baits & they kept flying right past them!😮
Tried 2 glue traps at the base of the door crack where they were getting in! Worked like a charm!🤙🏽👌🙏🏽🤘🏼
I will always remember this & use this method! After a week checked storage & found a nest with a few stragglers & a Queen! Killed them all & removed the nest/hive! PUNKS!
"It is very unlikely that this colony will be attacked by giant hornets 😌, today 😬"
The wild colony entrance was more accessible than the kept hive… that’s why it was vulnerable and killed…
RIP to the wild colony 😢
I lived in Japan for six years in Chiba prefecture, Ichikawa city. On my days off I would walk around the little narrow streets that didn’t really seem to be straight lines. More like an ant farm but that’s what makes it so cool. Totally Japanese looking houses everywhere (I say this because the more modern Japan becomes the rarer it is to see these kind of houses. I had to clarify this because if you travel the world, haters will always try to find something to hate in the comments, lol :) and the streets were always super clean.
There’s a park that I used to go to when I lived there called Ichikawa Koen. Inside this park was a beautiful Koi lake. Some of the most beautiful Koi I’ve ever seen as well. They had this raised concrete walkway to keep you above the grass to avoid getting wet from the marshlands and to avoid hurting any wildlife and insect populations. They also had this amazing rain forest bio-dome that was absolutely breathtaking. It was so well managed and groomed. There were tropical butterflies flying around as well. And they had a little monkey exhibit too. In the same bio-dome they had a dessert exhibit as well that reminded me of California, Joshua Tree.
On my walks though I would hear loud buzzing but I never seen what it was. One day I finally found out what it was when I seen gigantic suzume bachi (Japanese Hornets) all flying around a spot in the ground near a tree. I guess that’s where they were living. I almost got stung a few times and even seen some old ladies trying to swat them away while walking together. I never heard of anyone actually being stung but I decided to buy a badminton racket, a couple of huge cans of Kirin Ichiban beer and I went to town on those things for a good couple of hours, lol. Some old Japanese dudes where laughing while I was doing it too, lol. I don’t want to kill all of them since they do serve an important role in the ecosystem there but damn that was fun, lol. I miss Japan so much…
W story ngl
Those houses probably looked totally Japanese because they were in the actual country of Japan. Pretty crazy fact, you probably wish you knew that back then!
@@kevinm.n.5158 Omg… There’s always some weirdo who has to be negative and show his disdain for anyone who had done things he only dreams about doing. And yeah, I’m well aware it’s because they’re in Japan. I lived there, you didn’t. I’m sure you’re very unaware of how modernized Japan has become so the houses I spoke of are becoming rare. But this is TH-cam so I’m sure for the sake of arguing you’ll say you have been to Japan or have some wild story to make up, lol. Dude, get a life ok? Wandering around on social media trying to unload your insecurities onto people and make your low self esteem blindingly obvious is only making you look like a fool, ok? I’m sorry your life sucks by maybe make some changes. Bye bye, now.
L story chief. i'd be laughing at you too
YOU Forgot to explain that hornets release a stress pheromone, and that’s why all the other ones or attracted to the first one.
1:00 the ants: sup homies
all these hornets are simply pests, ive dealt with all forms of yellow jackets and other hornets and i see no good in them as they will just attack for no reason
I've heard that you can deep fry those hornets, but the glue would probably mess that up.
Mayu isn't wearing near enough kevlar body armor to approach the murder hornets😭
thats pretty nuts how big those Hornets are. People complain about the yellow jackets we have here in Canada, i'm just grateful i never have to encounter of those when i go out for a walk.
News flash - we have them in Canada now. We've had two on our back deck in recent years. They're freakishly huge - far larger than normal yellow jackets. I fried one with our electric tennis racket and it took a LONG time for it to stop moving.
@@SilentKnight43 i need proof of that.
@@ryandacunha3040 You forgot to say please.
@@SilentKnight43 Are you sure that's what it was? A lot of people mistake European Giant Hornets and Cicada Killers for them.
@@shocktrauma85 We were fairly definite after lookin' them up online afterwards.
Those monsters have lasted more than 10 million years than they should have
Reminds me of a show during my childhood, called wild kingdom. I'm 60 years of age and we loved to watch that show think the hist was Marlon Perkins .
Back in the days before the Info Age. I remember it well! Loved Wild Kingdom, Nature, and Mutual of Omaha for their sponsorship! We're relics today🙃😀🤣
Man Giant Hornets are such evil bugs. Poor honeybees
raise chickens around hives are the best.. .they love hornets.
also please wear a more stronger coverall than bee one.... more secure.
I like the way the glue sheet does a trick because if the hornet lands on the glue sheet they get stuck and unable to escape and stopping the hornets from attacking the honeybees
I was expecting the hornet repellent to be a flame thrower.
The Japanese honeybee is the only domesticated bee that has a defense against these hornets from hell. They surround a scout that enters their hive and suffocate it with their body heat, bringing the temperature up to over 117 degrees, enough to kill the hornet but not the bees. I have a better idea than the glue trap for that hornet's nest: spray some solvent such as carburetor cleaner into the opening, which will kill the entire nest.
That's not a hornet's nest, it's a bee's nest attacked by hornets. The hornets are also an integral part of Japan's ecosystem, so it's probably not a good idea to kill an entire colony
Well Maya probably knows how to go ahead and plug that entrance off but the best way to do it is put steel wool of some description in there and pack it in where the Hornets can't pull it out this is old Rob
Greetings from Canada. This made me happy 🙂 Thank you.
I burned them with the methane torch last year, it was a great satisfaction.
4:52, wow nice camera through the hole
The world just learned a great big lesson on how to defend their bee colonies from destruction of this giant hornet.
Too bad a screen that was too small to allow passage of the hornets but big enough to allow passage of the bees couldn't be placed at the entrance of the bee hive.
I'd imagine the hornets would just attack any bees that go outside the screen
The entrance is too small for hornets…
They DO have that or their colonies would be devastated.
Agree - Must be some way (quick setting concrete) with a narrow gap set of grating
And it was another great day of saving the bees.
To all the nincompoops worried about the hornets: Japanese bees are capable of defending themselves against these monsters. Dozens of bees cling to a hornet at once and generate heat that eventually kills it. This process is taking hours and puts stress on the bees too, which shortens their lifespan. The glue yields the same result without involving the bees…
They can defend themselves against a single scouting hornet, maybe 2. But once they get the food pheromone out and a few more show up the hornets can easily ravage a hive, even one with 10s of thousands of honeybees.
Yes but if there are 3 or more hornets the bees lose a lot of bees and prob won’t get food for winter
This video makes me smile!
It's like fallout, the raiders already killed everyone best we can do is get vengeance.
props to the brave camera man going in without a suit.
"It could be that the wild colony is the weaker of the two colonies" nah they didnt attack the boxed hive cause the door frame is too small for a fat suzumebachi to fit through.
Seriously? The colony in the box had tiny slits that the hornets couldn't fit thru to attack them, the wild colony had a huge front door(hole entrance) to allow the hornets in.
Good video. tankyou. Gabriele from Italy. 👋👋
No tears for those monster hornets
You can never convince me not to suit up.
Poor bees that died in the wild colony but only the one that's wooden and rectangled is safer than the wild one in Tokyo Japan thank you for take care of bees
that was great, I am so glad that the Japanese are taking these moves to take control of the giant bees
Anyone else find this lady super cute?
I went through the comments only to see if i am the only one, who sees this cutie. Good on you😊
How do you protect your honey bees from these hornets?
Strong hives can protect themselves from scouts. During hornet season, I believe they use some nets with holes big enough for the bees but small enough to make sure hornets can't get in.
Hives that are strong enough to defend against scouts will retreat into their homes to try and draw the hornet inside and once it's inside, the hive will swarm the hornet and vibrate to increase the temperature and O2 levels. The hornet dies of either overheating or suffocation as the bees can handle higher temperatures and O2 levels than the hornets.
This is only successful for the scouts. More than a few hornets could wipe out a hive (I don't know how many though). This channel does have a video somewhere showing a hive defending against a hornet if you scroll around for it!
Strong colonies can protect from one or two maximum any more and they are basicly dead if the keeper doesn't help
You can fit a mesh grill to the entrance of the hive that'll allow the bees through, but not the much larger hornets.
They also pointed out in another video that the hive entrance is metal and spaced to allow bees to get in and out but to small for hornets to use.
I thought they "exhale" CO2? Do they breathe it in and "exhale" O2 instead? Im curious because I thought plants and algae were the only ones giving O2 for CO2... @@enbeast8350
I like Beekeepers and Barkeepers too....💪
I learnt alot and it's my first time watching your video thank you for the information ❤😊😊😊
The glue pad Looks like a anime book
Yup, not a fan of hornets. VEERY glad they're not that massive here in Utah usa. I'd wanna move asap!
Love your channel
VIVA BEES!
Brilliantly done
Hornet Hotel! Hornets check in, they don't check out!🤣
“got eem” - me every hornet that got stuck
What a fascinating video, thanks for sharing
she's done a great job on defending the bees. But I believe the hornets won't take away the life-saving bee's activities for their own worst.
Giant hornets and hornets in general are a scourge on this earth
n parts of Japan, people consider these hornets beneficial because they remove pests, such as harmful caterpillars, from crops. The hornets' bodies also contain nutrients, and have been used as ingredients in Japanese food and some strong liquors. Some people believe the hornets' essence has medicinal benefits.
Psssch.. "nutrients".
Poison is the word you're looking for. Venomous poison.
Wow these creatures are huge
Those hornets are big damn so big
Could cement a bee size opening portal over the entrance so in the future it will be too small for the hornets to get in
When the glue trap has a crying anthropomorphic mouse on it. Wtf.
Too bad Hornets don't have a pheromone to tell their family that I'm stuck on damn glue sheet.
"Like oh mee geed, it's a colanee n beez n hon-aay"
Are robber files or giant dragonfly in japan effective against Japanese giant hornets?
"Traditional" bee keeping is why the hornets are such a problem. Make huts that are specifically made to keep giant hornets out.
Un petit bonjour de France ! Merci pour cette idée de papier collant pour les frelons. 🐝🐝🐝
I wonder if there is a trap you can employ that captures hornets so that you can eat them later. Like a one-way bottle or something.
Beekeeper to hornets: "Omae wa mou shindeiru"
Blow the Cordyceps Spores into Asian Giant Hornets 🤣
Is it possible to build a special entrance for wild colonies?
❤ would be a good idea. If nature wasn't in so much trouble these days I'd say just leave the natural process alone. But it seems like they could use all the help they can get.
The last part of the destroyed/ransacked colony was so sad :(
Those are bigger than I imagined
3:33 I got some kind of satisfaction while watching this @.@
At 5:32, what was the spinning thing?
My fav video ever
Pretty sure the hornets literally can't fit through the artificial opening so they attacked the other hive.
3:43 dude on the bottom left was thinking about it for like two hours in timelapse and eventually was all, "Ah the hell with it! What's the worst that could happen?"
Those things are dumb as hell lol
Just remember: Japanese giant hornets hold grudges
This is great!!
Step 1. Lay down glue sheet. Step 2. Wait for hornets to land on said glue sheet. Step 3. Profit.
is the suit strong enough to protect against their sting?
maybe the colony 10 meters away is the other one, they went and searched for another place for their nest? or did these hornets also kill all the bees? i just loved how these hornets were getting their faces on the glue.
The hornets kill all the bees they find. The difference is in the size of the enterence.
Bee Keeper Girl is Cute!!😍
Were those Apis Melifera or those tiny Japanese Bees (I wish we had some here in Texas)
Hey Hornet
Hornet: Yeah?
BEE LIVES MATTER!!!!
We’re saving all the bees!
Hornets are really dangerous
If they dealt with this long enough wouldn’t they eventually evolve enough to avoid it or deal with it?
You mean adaptation. Evolution is something that happens over countless years.
They should try this in the parts of USA and Canada where these hornets have settled.
