I love how he calls the hens 'the girls' and speaks chicken language to them🥺
So glad when you post. Do the chickens get enough nutrients from the nests or do you have use commercial food and consider the nests as snacks?
Thank you!
Insects are chickens natural diet along with grass plants, pebbles, etc. Being that the girls are free range, they eat more than just larvae, but the larvae provide a lot of fats and proteins, among many minerals as well.
I only feed the girls natural seeds and things during the winter to supplement nutrition they aren't getting naturally due to winter time.
Very good video! So interesting to see how you work! It's great the chickens help you out!😀. 💖💖
Do you think this special diet makes a difference to the quality of the eggs the hens produce? The larvae would have a lot of nutrition for them, and I've got a feeling the yolks will be a lovely dark yellow, with lots of protein. Sorry if this has been asked before!
@@MatthewBrannigan I too have some similar questions! Do they get it every day? Is the darker than store bought yoke??
That’s enough for them
Bret, I know you do removals pretty much on a daily basis and may feel it is repetative or even mundane but to us viewers it is really interesting. Remember we don't see wasps all the time and we almost never see the nests so for us to see it makes it highly interesting. I kinda enjoyed the experiments with re-housing the colonies you removed and I kinda enjoyed the tests to see if two or more nests would combine as one. It is also interesting to see that two different species/sub species don't mind being housed so close together too.
Couldnt agree more!!
Fascinating!!! I be been stung by hornets over the years that would build in our yard in the railroad ties that the previous home owners used! Don’t landscape with those! The reaction has worsened🐝
You are a brave Man🤩
😅m
It might be a weird thing but I RELIGIOUSLY watch your videos every night before bed. The fascination, buzzing of the hornets, the vacuum, and your voice somewhat makes an addictive combo, haha! I hope you'll never stop making videos :) Cheers from Indonesia!
Not weird at all. I do the same. Binge watch
I love how unique each nest is
For sure!
@@HornetKingOfficialsend the link when you said hornet king because the cc said horny king
I don’t recall if you’ve answered this before but how do you normally seal the opening on the outside to prevent them from getting back in? I know you spray the cavity but I’m guessing you would also need to seal the opening to prevent future nests.
Thats the customer's responsibility to seal their home. Most cases, it's related to rotten plywood under siding, or lifted shingles and flashing, etc. I tell the homeowners how to seal their spaces, but that's a whole different service.
@Galgerahn There's no information you can get from simply knowing someone's name.
Love the vids bro keep them coming
Thanks!
I agree
I've been a sub for a couple years man and you are the first content creator ive seen who's so wholesome and just generally an awsome person creates content out of love and dedication and not trying to just get the biggest $. Massive respect and love for sure. youll always have me watching the channel for sure. 🐝🐝🐝
I notice the chickens don't really like poking and chawing on live hornets, but if they're still in the cell, but fully or mostly developed, will they chow on that? or do they focus exclusively on the larva only? Same with squirrel and other critters.
The girls won't eat mature adults, but will eat all stages of pupation.
Does the queen start the construction of a new nest herself or is she associated with workers at the beginning?
She starts the entire colony from scratch.
It’s so good to see you back. I’ve been missing your removal videos. They’re so satisfying, and also very informative. Do you still have squirrel visitors? I’d love to see more of them.
ouchhhhhh...
In Ontario Canada there were these ground nesting black wasps that had small white stripes on their back and they were about the same size as yellow jackets (definitely in the yellowjacket family) they were super aggressive. I can't find any info on these wasps, can't find them online anywhere. The ones I've encountered nest under-ground, pretty big colonies, they're aggressive.
The weirdest thing is that we had this bald faced hornet's nest above our backdoor in Ontario and one day I noticed a bunch of dead bald faced hornets on the ground, I looked up and these smaller black wasps had replaced them. First time I had ever seen anything like that, seems like these black yellow jackets or whatever they've attacked the bald faced hornets nest and took over the colony. Insane stuff, there were two people with me who saw this.
@Hornet King I’m a new subscriber. I’ve been watching some of your older videos, including some of your patient care videos. I respect the love and care you provide. The world would be a better place if we had more people like you. Best wishes.
Have you been ever called for small nests? I imagine for them to become enough of a problem for the homeowner to call it would probably always be a decent size?
I get calls for all kinds of infestations in various stages of development. I just don't show the little nests on the channel
@@HornetKingOfficial that makes sense lol. Thanks! Perhaps an interesting video might be a compilation of a few smaller removals to see how they differ if at all? Keep up the good work!
@Hornet King Maybe you can start a shorts channel exclusively for the small nests.
@@TheOneAndOnlyFen I personally can’t stand shorts and prefer long form viewing content but I see what you’re getting at
Okay, this dude is awsome, he may be risking alot of pain just for us.
If you were a chicken would you eat a live larva
I absolutely hate hornets and stuff, but something about these videos is so calming.
HK, I have a question about the nest shape. Does each species of wasp use different types of nest size/ shape? Just curious. Other than that, YAY! A new episode!
Who else came from snapchat??
I also love how your girls flock to you when you call them... You even had the one jump off the top of the fence to you .. That's love lol.
They're sweethearts, that's for sure!
Have you gotten to the point of hearing a buzzing that isnt there?
You talking to your chickens and the squirrel when you are feeding them is so adorable and wholesome lol, thought it was so cute when you were calling the chickens, they ran so fast to the fence to greet you, they were so excited ❤️
I love these videos. It makes me so happy to see the chickens get excited after you've completed a days work. They know they get something out of it.
First time I have ever seen this in people homes. Absolutely crazy and great channel.
350 bucks for a book? Does it have the winning lottery numbers in it?
Yeah it does; knowledge
Hello! First of all thank you for the many information you give about the life of these insects! then I wanted to ask you a question: - You give the nest to your hens, but the others who remove the nests like you, what do they do with the nest after taking it away? Do they do anything useful with the nest removed? How do they dispose of this nest?
I don’t have chickens but I keep and use the larvae as fish bait, lots of panfish and trout will eat them up!
@@Jlbeaver2 Very interesting! Thanks for the reply! 😁😁👍👍
Berry benson is starting a war with this man
Good strong population in that floppy nest. :)
i feel offended that you feed my fellow german friends to the chicken :D
I'm German too! 😆😅
Funny story while watching the video, I was wearing my headphones on and at 12:16 there was like a fly or something flying. I was wearing the headphones, it scared the sh*t out of me, since it sounded so close. Plus you were showing these yellow jackets and hornets, so it was heck of a scare. Anyways, great content! Enjoy your vids!
I like watching your videos
By watching your videos , I was able to show my farther to just leave a Bald-Faced Hornet nest alone
As they had a nest in the top of a Pear tree
I was able to show him what they ate and he liked insect control with out having to spray
I currently have the exact same problem that this homeowner has, same gap in siding and drop ceiling in basement, I can take the panels down and behind them is insulation. I haven't tried to locate the nest just yet but my question is would I be in danger at this time of season if I went digging to get it out of there so I don't have a nest there next year? I live in Central PA.
Love u KING
Love you too!
Do you charge by the hour or removal? Just curious when you explained the different removal methods you use. I can see people complaining why you don’t just pull it down and bag it if the removal is by the hour. 😁
I get so excited when I get a notification that you posted. I yell "hornet king" to the family and they know not to bother me until I've finished watching the video.
Very interesting videos! Ive never liked those evil little bastards!After watching you I find myself thinking that would be a nice line of work for a young guy that wants to be his own boss and start his own business.
But then I find myself wondering how did you wind up in this line of work for your own business? There must of been some kind of interest in the beginning that caused you do go down this path you've chosen.
I heard you mention books, is there any type of special schooling or some sort of formal training program? I'm just curious, I'm retired not looking to get into working lol but it would be a good business.
Love watching all of your videos. I especially love it when you remove the larvae w/ a tweezers and feed them to your animals. I know you might hate doing it, but would really enjoy a HUGE nest removal of larvae. Like as many of the larvae that are actually larvae on the nest/in the nest. 😁😁😁💙💙💙
I love how your theme song sounds like the equivalent of the "Bad Boys" COPS theme song except for Hornets lol
Dude I LITERALLY cannot lie chickens are the best animals they are so fluffy
I throughly enjoy your videos. I find they are extremely informative at times and entertaining at others. Before I always saw bees as critters that need to die but you’ve changed my look on them. I’m from north east pa, and I’ve seen and unfortunately had to remove similar nests before. Keep up the awesome work! Love looking forward to your videos!!
We have the worst cicada killer infestation. I’m starting to give up on them. We just want our front yard back. It’s an absolute mess. Are they controllable?
You're my absolute favorite channel. Check everyday to see if there's a new video
Dude u r tough. You exterminate wasp/hornets and feed a wild skunk. I don’t know anyone doing either of those. The squirrel and chickens are sooo cute.
Its time to get right with Jesus. nobody is automatically gonna go to heaven at the end of it, we all have lied or stolen or had sex before marriage and the punishment is hell. Jesus died so you can get a clean slate and forgiveness of future sins if you repent of them once you commit them, so you receive the gift of forgiveness by following him. When you start you have to stop sinning, and follow his word and obey it. That’s following Jesus. Read your Bible
And whats the Problem? They are not aggressive. Stay away from the nest and in the end of October the Nest is empty so you can close the hole they fly in. They don't do harm on your building, because they shit when they fly out.
Dang they are friendly the just be like “bro could you stop ripping off our envelope… bro plz dont rip the comb off”
You already have 4 girls? Last time I saw you you had 3, and until now I still only have 1 girl in my coop :')
I’ve seen hornets in my moms backyard but idk where they are coming from but they also don’t sting us. Honestly don’t think they survived the winter because I haven’t seen them in ashile
Hi I know it’s not your place to interfere with a person job but I have just seen “hornet removal “ and my ❤️ was in my mouth ,
This feels not happy for wasps need some sleep gas or so quick and painless kill. I like the feeding to the chickuns but don’t like you terminating them like that they ain’t even get chance to defend themselves man feel not good for hope chickuns taste good for u b.
He says to go buy a guide to wasp, when you already have one right here😭 I’m just gonna continue watching you
Thank you for another interesting video.
Do the eggs the chickens produce taste any different after a feeding of larvae?
you should make merch that says 'i survived hornet king' so i can dress up as a wasp for Halloween and then put on the shirt.. saying i survived lol
I am allergic to bee and hornet stings. Dermatologist say if i micro dosed with their stings for six months i would be immune is it true? I wonder if your birds are immune from eating the larva?
300$? Whew, does it transfer the info into my head automatically?
You need a bigger shop vac with the larger hose my dude 🤷♂️
that must be the most durable vacuum ever made you've been using it so much.. time for an upgrade?
OMG, it is so interesting. I am from germany and in my childhood there were sooo many of german yellow jackets in the summertime (therefore I like your Yellow Jackets videos the most) and they were so aggressive lil bastar*. But now, since there are less of them than ever before i got worried. What happened to them?
Anyways: through your videos I learned how amazing creatures they are and I love to listen to everything you know about them (even if you kill them in the same time, it is a bit cynical). Thank you very much!
"What happened to them?"
Offhand I'd suggest they packed up and went to other continents as an invasive species 😄
A dead wasp is a good wasp. Nothing more relaxing than watching the hens munch down a hive.
Honestly, I was left with my mouth open with the immense infestation of Yellow Jackets
If you had used caulk to seal the entrance, would the nest have died since none could have gotten in or out? Did you seal the access after you were done?
Love your show the way those critters build their home is fascinating
Chickens are modern day 🦕, they eat anything smaller than themselves
When the new queen starts a nest, she's all alone. How do the eggs she lays get fertilized or don't they need to?
Wow that vacuum is strong! It absolutely eats away at the envelope
Do you ever get stung wearing that type of suit and if not is there a link where I can buy
Why do you vacuum instead of killing the nest?
Can queens ever invade another’s hive and co exist or kill the existing queen?
This makes me curious what I will find when spring hits here in canada. Noticed in fall a wasp nest burrowing into the ground against my foundation, but snow hit before I dealt with it. Curious now what will happen with the melt and how big it is under the ground.
Get molten metal or glass and pour it in there
Hi from uk 👋i need to start commenting more another great one always a good watch and interesting thank you for your time be safe out there see you on next one my friend👍👋
Thank you for the support!
I just checked your channel yesterday and wondered where the hornet king went!! Nice to see you post again, I hope you're doing well! Almost to springtime :)
Haven't been feeling well, and I kept trying to work on a video and couldn't get through it.
Thanks for being here for my return!
@@HornetKingOfficial Perfectly understandable! Whenever you decide to post I will be here :)
@@HornetKingOfficial I think I just got over a thing of food poisoning, myself. :( Hope you're feeling better.
Bro I need you too look at my house I’m always getting wasps in my room
like the video
Thanks!
Another great video. Very thorough too! So much great information, thanks
Thanks, Robb!
That’s even worse!! I don’t want any bees in my basement!! 😰😰
I've never been stung by a Wasp or a Bee but I'm glad I haven't.
Is freezing the nest and then removing a viable option?
We have you, don’t need any high $$$ books! 😝
I'm just high af watching ur vids😂
Do you ever do removals of the mud dauber type wasp?
I bet those chickens lay the best eggs! All those meaty treats they run for every time . :D
Sure do!!
I love the way this man says comb I he says it like cOmb
Do you ever get called out only to find honeybees? If so, do you call someone else to transfer the hive?
90% clients will tell me: "I know I have honeybees." And then I have them take a picture of their wasps and I tell them they aren't bees.
When someone is describing their infestation over the phone, I can determine if they have bees or yellow jackets and accept or reject the job. If people really do have bees, I refer them to an apiarist friend of mine.
Awesome video man! that was really cool
Those captured nests are chicken pancakes.
Always my fav videos to watch!!! ♥️
Thank you!
I love that you have a chicken named pigeon
Hey boyfriend how in the heck are you doing! Another amazing video from you! You da man, your videos are the best on the internet! I’m always excited to see that you posted a new video! Keep up the amazing work! Much love and hugs for you boyfriend! 🤗🥰💜❤️💜❤️
PS where was squirrely squirrel??
ty for a great vid not seen turkey in a while is it alive ?
What if there is a live hornet do the chickens get stung
Keep making these videos I like them
Thank you!
So can the eggs in the nest still hatch after removal?
Really enjoyed your work. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you!
So...it is like pizza for chickens
Yay! :)
Good to see you!
Keep up the good work!
Thank you, Sina! Good to see you!
One of the hens' names is Giblet 😄 that's funny
Hornets king needs a tripod for light
I have been watching for many years, I never get tired of watching any part of your show! Lol Love watching the vacuuming the most!
Thanks so much! 🐓 🐝
Dude, where have you been lately? I was just on another channel and just had the sudden thought “What’s happened to Hornet King lately?”
I know life happens, was just making sure all is ok.
Last summer, I was befriended by a European paper wasp. I don't know where her nest was, but she turned up every morning if I carried a cup of coffee outside. I'm highly allergic to venom so I nearly pooped myself the first time she alighted on my arm. She was eternally docile, and would make her way down my arm to crawl over my index finger. She loved honey or a drop or two of sugar water. I had made friends with the carpenter bees at our old house, so this experiment seemed like a good thing to have with her. Her name was "Bee Thing". It wasn't until Autumn's onset that I learned these wasps die before winter. The last day I saw her, she had alighted on our kitchen window screen and just remained there, her final goodbye I suppose. Is this all normal behavior for European paper wasps?
