@Finneas_fillet i just got swarmed yesterday while mowing grass. I got stung 10-15 times on my ankles, both of my calves one under my arm, and one on my rib cage. I can tell you it hurt from 2pm when i initially got stung till 12am when the benadryl finally kicked in and i slept. Today i woke up and it just itches. So i guess depending on how many times you get stung it can hurt from 1-10 hours... people can correct me if im wrong im just speaking on my own recent experience.
Okay what do you mean they are misunderstood? I get it if you were referring to honeybees but yellow jackets and hornets are definitely not doing anything to help anything lol. I think they are definitely understood correctly as the bane of all things and although they are cool creatures in general they aren't doing anything but stinging everything and causing issues similar to the existance of mosquitoes.
@@VARedevil19Where is “here”? Where do you live that they’re a delicacy? How do you prepare them? Do they have much flavor or mostly crunch? Sounds fascinating!
@@Mrsakris There's no crunchiness. It's soft and delicious. You just have to cook it properly. Check out some Naga cooking style. By 'Here' I mean Nagaland, North-eastern state of India.
@@VARedevil19 Fun! I suspected you were in India. I’ve only visited the north: Delhi, Amritsar, Dharmshala, and a few other northern areas. Next visit I’ll go further south. Thank you for your reply!
Felt so bad when you got stung. Those southern’s really are more aggressive. You could see some of the hornets going back to sound the alarm. It was instant swarm. Amazing to watch their defense. As usual, Rhea the rhea’s plumage is striking and the emu’s in their puddle bath is something to see. Nine appointments?!? Phew, that’s so crazy. Thanks again, for sharing.
Yeah the hornets have been nuts I mean at my home they made a large nest that had to get removed and it was high up underneath the siding of the home…. terrifying yet mesmerizing
Right before watching this video my brother called me telling me that our sister's dog Jack got stung by a yellow jacket in the backyard. I'm pretty sure he'll be fine by the time you read this comment. Congratulations on the millions!🎉
This guy is smart, and sensible, he feeds his animals on what he takes home from his job, and those pets really like the taste of those wasp, and honey.
When I was 7 months pregnant, we had a yellow jacket nest under the cement slab that was our front entrance. Every time we stepped on it, they would come out. We had someone come to remove it. It was massive. Guy came wearing shorts and a tshirt! Totally respect what you do. When I was a kid, I'd take the nest of paper wasps and pull out the larva! Now I know why my chicken loved the nests!
You read my mind on having me hear the buzzing and swarming of the bald faced hornets. I look forward seeing the relocation of the German yellow jacket nests. Congrats on 1 million subscribers. Best regards Nikita.K
I love your approach, not using harsh chemicals and instead going natural. Returning larva to nature (birds). I actually direct people to your channel to educate them about these animals (wasps, hornets)
Growing up in north Alabama we were always dealing with yellow jackets in the ground. The cure was pouring gasoline down the hole then throwing a match to it. It would burn for a long time.
one million!!!...great job as always...love love LOVE the squirrel at the end getting fed...loved how he sniffed the larva before he ate it like it was supposed to be lobster or something
Wow I remember when you had 50000... I loved your channel then and I love it now... Amazing job keep up the good work! Just from watching your videos I've been trying to teach as many people as I can... Hornets are just missed understood...
Been watching since 2019. It's great to see you hit 1 million. Very well deserved for how well you are able to teach and educate about not just wasps in how they live and react, but how they contribute to the circle of life.
Every time I watch….EVERY time…a random hair touches me and I jump 3 feet thinking it’s a hornet. Or, if a hornet gets close to the mic, I jerk thinking one is close. But I just have to watch! 🐝
A few weeks ago, my 79 year old mom and I randomly saw a yellow jacket and she started telling me about this guy she’d found on TH-cam that was crazy enough that he relocated a nest to his barn. I’ve watched your videos for a few years now, so it sounded familiar. I asked her if that guy also fed the hornet larva to his chickens, squirrels, and other animals at the end of each video… “How did you know that?” Yeah, it was your videos she’d found! lol
Congrats on the million subscribers, definitely well deserved! Do you ever have to periodically wipe down cameras, vacuums etc to eliminate pheromone scents or no? A couple of days ago, i was moving a round hay bale to feed my daughters horses. Imagine my surprise while removing the netting when i discovered a yellow jacket nest near the base right next to me! I only got stung once luckily, the nest was promptly eliminated! Never heard of a nest on a hay bale before.
Congrats on 1M subs! Thank you for teaching us all about the different types of wasps and hornets. Those stings had to hurt quite a bit! BTW TH-cam wasn't showing your videos in my feed, not sure what was up with that. I now have to manually search to see if you published videos.
Great vid again Brother. We talked a few years ago about you getting to 1 mill subs, I knew it would happen and I can't be more happy for you, great job!!!
I think it's kinda funny and cute how the second group of wasps were swarming more around the camera than on you it's almost like they're attacking the camera like "YOU DID THIS"
Congrats on reaching 1 million subscribers!! I've followed your channel for a few years now, and it's been a great time, man. Thanks for all you do! Also enjoyed the suit explanation at the end of this one.
I was so excited to see you hit a million subscribers. Love your content!! It's nice to see that you still care to educate folks and keep your videos interesting, no matter how many you make!
I got stung a few weeks ago right between my eyes. I didn't even see what it was, but I heard it fly. It's not fun. I can't even imagine how it must be for my niece who could die if she gets stung without an EpiPen. Even then, she has 20 minutes to get to a hospital. Please stay safe, and God bless.
Hello hornet king I must say that you have come a long way. Been watching your videos for at least 4 years now and they have gone from great and informative too awesome..
I love the way you love your pets and how you talk to them. I do the same thing. Got a new subscriber, and I've been binge watching since. Great content!
Thanks it’s nice to know what works well under the suit. I tend to wear king jeans, and long sleeve thick shirt under my suit. But my gosh, I can literally soak my undershirt fully before I even turn on my vacuum.
I ALWAYS learn so much watching these videos you put together, but the most entertaining thing is watching you interact with your birds. I totally get it.. I do the same things with my dogs and my husband says he just stops what he's doing to hear what kind of songs Im singing to them today and in what voice... hahaha~! Thank you so much for the education!
Congratulations Bret on the 1 Mil! You definitely deserve reaching this goal. Your educational material alone is phenomenal. I love how you show the food chain in nature with your animals. Then establishing so many of these nest in your own backyard to finish out the season while teaching all of us about the different species. Thank you so so much. Sending blessings and prayers to your family, Hornet King YT and all your lovely animals we so enjoy. P.S. Now if you're putting those bags of bees🐝in the household refrigerator you have one patient and tolerant wife. You would need a separate one in your shop for those projects I think under most circumstances.🤣😂🤣
Congratulations on a million subscribers. Luckily so far this summer, and it's still only early August, I've had just 2 softball+ sized yellow jacket nests on our smaller suburban lot to deal with. Thankfully Mother Nature's hornet removal experts dug the nests out for me during the night, and I only had to treat for the few adults they left behind. I've been finding nests left snd right on our lawn client's properties that I service, and some of them are rather big too. One lady even asked me what this big basketball-sized gray bump with a ton of bees around it under her deck was. Never seen a half-under, half-above ground nest like that before. Hornet removal may be an interesting and slightly lucrative side business to invest in.
one thing that i have to say I'm impressed with wasps with is their resiliency. we have some fuel islands at work and we have a wasp nest in the side of the concrete island the pumps are sitting on. the islands are surrounded by steel plating. they built a nest in the hollow of the concrete behind the steel plate. I've been going in and siliconing the cracks they fly out of. I cannot prove this next statement, but one of my trips to silicone their new entrance, it appears that they cut a hole through a rust spot on the steel. I don't know how thick this spot was, but it impressed me. none the less
I live too far north in NW England for European Hornets to be much of an problem so it's great to learn so much from the videos where you deal with them in the US. Plenty of common wasps here though
Nice video! 👍 I've been troubled the whole hot day by Vespula vulgaris. They tried to get a sip of my drink and they thought, that my gray and curly beard was their nest! Damn it!
Love the channel, squirley squirrel is my favorite cast member. I think you should start a B channel… featuring a can of raid, a fly swatter, and a pair of track shoes! Run HK run!
I was surprised by the size of the sting hole on your skin! Is it from the constant up and down motion as they sting? Very painful, I imagine, esp. on the fleshy part of your ear! The buzzing inside that hood would freak me out! I am so happy for your 1M+ subscribers; you more than deserve it! Love, health and safety to you as you bring us more fabulous videos!👍💖
Have you ever thought about getting one of the small cameras mounted in a flexible tube with a tiny light that you could put down inside a yellowjacket nest in the ground? It would make a cool addition to your normal videos.
Omg hornet king, billy the exterminator from vex-con and bigjettv are the only 3 channels on youtube i get most excited to see forsure x love these videos x
It was cool to see riah the riah poof! I'm sorry you got stung a couple times. I've learned that I can take one or two hits from wasps without going into shock myself, and tell everyone around me the pen is in my pocket in case a sudden onset that I can't manage.
Kudos on the one million and thank you for all the education on these widely misunderstood insects. Here’s to a million more!
Thank you!!
Completely deserved

The emus laying down in the puddle to cool off and be underneath the hose was so freaking cute!!❤
Thank you for the education. I used to be terrified every time I heard or saw a bee or hornet… but because of these videos, I’m much more relaxed now.

I love how you talk to your birds 🤣❤️
Congrats on 1 Million! Always nice to learn about the different hornets and wasps and get to see your birds!
I love your rhea. She is so beautiful especially when she fluffed her feathers
Bro ive been watching for a while! You have one of the best channels and the bird voice is hilarious.😂😂
Thank you!!
My favorite Hornet 🐝 King ❤️❤️❤️
I love it here.

Congrats on 1 million. That’s really cool. But you deserve it because you make great, educational videos.

Growing up in north Alabama we were always dealing with yellow jackets in the ground. The cure was pouring gasoline down the hole then throwing a match to it. It would burn for a long time.
Thanks for sharing. The Emus are getting soo big now. Congrats on 1M!

One million subscribers??? I’ve been watching you since you had 17k. Congratulations!!
Way to go when I subscribed you had 389 subscribers people can’t get enough of your videos
Do the birds like the nest itself, or is it just the larva?
btw - squirrel is SO cute!

Probably wouldn't work too well because they would just swarm it and block the lens, and then swarm him, but it'd be interesting.
