Great learning but more questions now. Why aren't the bees attracted to the sticky traps and getting stuck? Is the green netting effective? The openings are very large. Is there not any metal mesh with openings large enough for bees but too small for hornets? Is there a synthetic form of the hornet pheromone to lure them into traps? Most satisfying point of the video - 9:27 - WHACK!!!!
It depends on what the bait is. He mentioned something about them switching to a more protein based diet. Bees wouldn't be attracted to a meaty smell and as for a sweet smell ( I think) if you add something like vinegar to the bait the bees think its like fruit going bad/rotting and tend to avoid it.
First of all ..your the wack..these hornets are highly evolved..not your average hornet..you would think after seeing many a video.on the Asian wasp people would stay cleare but oh no we have to find out..well realy think long and hard of what your doing before you think your smarter than they are because you'll find out there leathel.when they can kill humans it's a clue stay clear
Elite Predator used to think hornets and wasps were pests didn’t do anything productive, turns out they also eat other insects especially termites can’t kill all hornets
Joseph Smith I have meet a couple of vegans who totally live of the land, and I admire that. But most of the vegans I meet (mostly online) have no idea what dirt is and how to grow something and not in touch with nature.
They more than likely won't spread or colonize, the media is blowing this whole aisan giant hornet thing way out of proportion. I mean the name murder hornet was made up to spark fear
Stephen Wheeler put you some of those solar powered electricity things and plug it up to the fence. The board won’t touch it ever again. Just make sure you didn’t leave no gaps for the pigs to crawl and dig under. We have wild hogs not boats but domestic hogs in KY, US that people let out. I enjoy watching your Asian hornet trapping and killing. I found a small nest and about 20 Asian hornets in Ky. I used one of your traps to catch the hornets then killed the nest which was small enough to put in a wide mouth half gallon jar. I then put alcohol in it and killed the queens and brood. Sent it off to get tested to make sure it was what I had and sure enough they were Asian hornets. I tried to warn my Facebook bee keeping groups. They told me I was lying trying to get attention ya da ya da etc had pictures to prove it an all and still said I was lying even went and looked them up online. They didn’t have no luck cause they were were my pictures. I had to take all posts down due to the hate and death threats I got. People are crazy man. I got documented proof and it’s all I need they weren’t European hornets is all I can say about it. People can deny it all they want to. But they here. There was a guy who had then in Oklahoma which killed his entire hive out. The European hornets don’t do that. They just don’t go in and slaughter all the bees. The scouts will come and take a few but not an entire hive. At least the European hornets around here don’t do it. The bald ones don’t either. I even kept me a few specimens of the Asian Hornets to compare. I have a wall of insects but people don’t believe that either they want pictures! You don’t give picture you ain’t nothing. I don’t give me pictures to nobody so they can go and brag about it. Even the local news paper who somehow mentioned if the Asian hornet was here and they said whoever reported it must of seen the local bald or European hornet.... I’m the one who reported to the nearest university in Ohio and sent the specimens off. I have books on every insect in the word and the internet to use to find out what I had was what I thought it was which was an Asian hornet. People can call me a liar all they want. They’ll find out when one of their families dies from coming in contact with a nest. And then those people will get credit for finding the hornet when I was the one who originally did and no one believed me calls apparently everyone and everything on the internet is fake to them.
You could make a good sport of it and go after them with a couple of those electric fly swatters. That way you can listen to the POP! each time you smack one. Great fun, even with your standard flies. lol Connect a nine volt battery and it really makes it fun! The swatters don't last as long under that abuse, but they are potent.
To suck in the hornets ? Stethoscope.. yeah have one of those, you still need to get up close to the hive with hornets trying to land on it.. then there’s the issue around using it with a hornet suit on. I don’t normally wear a hornet suit, unless I’m actually going to really fight Hornets, putting your head up close to the beehive with Hornets flying around there is no way in hell I do that without a hornet suit on. The reason I know why it goes like this is tried and failed :) And the small vacuum cleaner... 😂 a blower is a lot safer.
if pigs are knocking over your hives, maybe it's time to get the rifle and DON'T forget the katana (just in case things get up close, personal and Un-Pleasant), and its's pig hunting time. also, if the yellow hornets are lager than your bees, try this: drill a series of holes just big enough that bees can pass through and wasps cannot
I don't see how trapping hornets is going to solve the hog problem: the rest of the hives are doomed, as the boar will keep coming back until all the food's gone. I would imagine that it's devilishly hard in Japan to get a permit to shoot something.....
I am no bee keeper by any means but I think it would be a good idea to have a screen to allow bees in through the little holes and block these big hornets out...
Actually I don't enjoy the killing of these Asian Hornets. I'm fascinated with the type of insect it is and its a genuine shame they have to be put down but still, Bee's are our friend and we don't play dat shit.
@@BeesBugsJapan if you do end up getting it, you might be the first person keeping Japanese bees to use it and it will be super interesting to see how this brand would hold up in Japan
These are Japanese honeybee hives, They are tall hives and they are lightly strapped to a surrounding tree. The owner has never had any problems with hives falling over from typhoons and or animals. This is the first time ever. Add to that the guy is over 70 years old and can only go there once a week, and in this case because there were so many hives knocked over and so many Hornets flying around. It just was too dangerous for him to try and do anything. I went there the week after in full hornet suit. and save some hives, sadly i couldn’t.
Stephen Wheeler fair enough then I’m in New Zealand so I have never seen that method of hives I just know the regular metal straps which I have on my 900+ hives but yeah my bad didn’t know the situation
Perhaps a more substantial way of supporting the hives could be possible ? For example, driving metal pipes into the ground then fastening the hive to them with some sort of quick detach clamps made from wood or plastic. Keep them off the ground but still low enough to access when necessary. IDK, maybe hives need to be close to the ground ? I'm not a bee keeper..
Maaaan you guys have a real problem with them giant hornet's you need to be careful and keep the proper gear on also while out there doing wht you do and why does the wild boar attack so much?
Yes. The green one's are mine; the green mesh was to keep yellow hornets away. But I underestimated their numbers and didn’t expect giant hornet to attack.
Do they rare those giant hornet? if not, search the giant hornet home and destroy it, untill the giant hornet home is destroyed they will keep coming to honeybee even the trapping won't stop them from coming to honeybee.
@@BeesBugsJapan yap thats right they travel to a far distance searching for food. Give some food to giant hornet from honeybee place and start searching from there, thats how i do.
I do it too with white tissue, but the mountain valley is to dangerous to go off track. Lose stones and stuff. The attack basically stops after two days.

The netting is a deterrent; the bees need to come and go too.
The sticky stuff is just glue. The hornets attack it because it's over their phenomenon marking.
I don’t know of a pheromone to lure them, we do have chemical repellents.

That smacking sound of the hornet was so good at 9:26
Min 3:45 happy music now for the death of those dead hornets 🐝😂😂😂☠️☠️☠️
I really hate hornets. I couldn't even step in that area without being paranoid.
wow NICE HIT! with my luck they'll just get mad and kill me before I have a chance to stomp them...
Those hornets look like real life Pokemon
Real life Beedrill brotha
@@NecroniKDrummer89 yes they do but see the exutioner wasp
All Pokémon are all inspired from real life animals and insects
I love your cynicism lol vegans need to stop their whining, we need bees A LOT more than we need hornets.
We need Hornets for population control but we need bees a hell of a lot more

Is there even such thing as too many honey bees?
@Joseph Smith
What ethical reasons are those if you don't mind me asking.
So sad for the owner and the poor bees
Yes, it was a big shock to him
Wooosh..stomp stomp..that ones dead. LOL!
Lmaoo he smacked tf outta that hornet
Eventually the underdogs rise and win. Good going for the bees.
That is so freaking sad! Honey bees are going to be extinct. I really hope they don't find more in the US, so scary!
Need to GM some hench new honey bees that eat hornets.
Rampant in Western Canada
@@ZebbMassiv link to that article ? 1 colony found on vancouver island which was eradicated. have they found more ?
They more than likely won't spread or colonize, the media is blowing this whole aisan giant hornet thing way out of proportion. I mean the name murder hornet was made up to spark fear
The one they found was dead
the happy music segment made everything better
Little does this man know, he may be the savior to help save our bees here....
I would love to see a trap where the Giant Hornets get burned alive with fire
I hope the Hornets enjoy their swims and sticky trap exercise pads.
Stephen, can you do a video on home made traps? How to make and bait? We have no access here in Canada to your enviable pheromone lure traps.
I'll "leaf" her alone 😂👍🏾 great unintended pun!
I feel bad for the hornets..
said nobody ever
Great video.
I really like the part where you play happy music to celebrate the death of the hornets
I wasn’t expecting the racket to be that loud XD
From where di you buy the traps ?
U should make a mountain with there heads so the hornets see it
Is it possible to fence off the beekeeping area to prevent the boars knocking them over?
Done! I made a fenced off area for my friend. He has never had problems in the past.

Badminton rackets are good, but you get a lot hornet pheromone around from smacking them.
If I had an apiary with them hornets around, I'd suit up and use a stethoscope to listen for bee activity. Maybe carry a small portable vacuum, too.

I never thought bees were intresting but this is fun. Thank you for the cool video.
Thank you
I love these videos
After the hornets are killed what do you do with those, also with the liquid who they are trapped?Do you trow away to the land, it's poisonous?
Throw it on the compost. No poison all organic
GOOD WORK
Keep trapping them hornets and wasps
What kind of camera are you using
iPhone 5 , 7 now 11 and sometimes the an Osmo Pocket an a old Gopro... iPhone 11 is pretty much perfect.
Yeah I thought the quality was great.
if pigs are knocking over your hives, maybe it's time to get the rifle and DON'T forget the katana (just in case things get up close, personal and Un-Pleasant), and its's pig hunting
time.
also, if the yellow hornets are lager than your bees, try this: drill a series of holes just big enough that bees can pass through and wasps cannot
I have a spear :) the yellow hornets are after the bees not the larvae. If they get inside the honeybees kill them.
I don't see how trapping hornets is going to solve the hog problem: the rest of the hives are doomed, as the boar will keep coming back until all the food's gone. I would imagine that it's devilishly hard in Japan to get a permit to shoot something.....
It’s not.
The hog problem was at my friends place. Hornet trapping mine. Yeah, gun licenses are a bit of a mission to get.
I hope u get more subs

I posted a comment here. th-cam.com/video/jmCBG5dQP4Q/w-d-xo.html in the pinned post.
Damn guy that really sucks. NOT only that hornet but wild boar too. Your gonna need to stand out there with a shotgun to take out the boars
I have a slingshot :)
I've never seen 1 killed with a racket and a sturdy boot. That was more satisfying than moving out on my bipolar X wife.
Actually I don't enjoy the killing of these Asian Hornets. I'm fascinated with the type of insect it is and its a genuine shame they have to be put down but still, Bee's are our friend and we don't play dat shit.
How do you keep the hornets away and stop them from stinging you?
Luck.
@@BeesBugsJapan hey in one of your videos, u said u have a spray that the hornets dont like...ehat spray is that?
It’s some sort of alcohol. if you spray the hornet, it loses the will to fight.
Can you not find a way to destroy all these giant hornets's nests?
Sorry new, just found these videos & I know ZERO about bees! Forgive my dumbness?
You can, but in autumn (the time of this video) the come to you. The nest to super angry this time of time too.
With that killstreak you could call in a juggernaut
Best ending to a video. *Splat*
wow great bee keeping skills
I think u took out the whole hornet nest😅😅😅😅 I heard if u hit them they remember u and tell they friends to hate u to
You heard wrong.
I’m curious to see if Japanese Bees would use the Apimaye hive boxes.
So am I, it might be a bit to big.

Why don't you and other bee keepers just place tons of those traps around the forest? It'd really cause some damage to those hornets. A team effort!
