I've had a huge phobia of any kind of stinging bee/wasp/hornet ever since I was little. My Dad and I used to live in a really rural area with tons of forest behind our house. One day when I was around 5 or 6 years old during a walk in the woods my Dad was carrying me on his shoulders and he stepped directly on a ground hornets nest and we were swarmed and we were a good mile/mile and a half from our house and he just booked it home. We were literally covered in stings and welts and still to this day I have such an extreme fear of bees/wasps/hornets.
It's like we're watching all the moments leading up to your death, I have never seen anyone trying to raise wasps especially in there bedroom,hats off to you mate.🐝🐝
I bet his neighbors love him. He probably has tons of friends over too. His aux cord is on a constant look of black and yellow. His favorite cereal is honey comb, his favorite movie…bee movie, favorite basketball team…Charolette Hornets.
Yeah, because they definitely can't escape the enclosure by chewing through the plywood. Oh wait...they can. "Now I'm not exactly sure what kind of wood she prefers" Plywood.
Dude, your videos are amazing! Keep 'em coming. Can't wait to see what happens next! Oh yeah, and props to your camera guy/girl! They were really working to track that yellowjacket in flight 👌🏼
Wow dude, I haven’t watched your content in a while but I would like to say, you are a very brave person. I literally am terrified of wasps, bees, etc. I honestly how many times you have been stung by wasps and bees. And you are very smart too. Also, keeping a wasp or bees as a pet is very amazing. You are very very cool. I enjoy watching your videos. Have a great day!
@@gray11 me too, whenever i see a wasp i run straight into my house. i saw one a few days ago and it was cold and a wasp on the ground was unable to fly and i didnt want to step on it because it flew earlier
I have 1 one super colony of 5 different species of wasps i tamed them all its fun to sit your greenhouse full of happy lik wasps and hornets with the occasional extra specie added. I love wasps so much that i care for my colonies like my own children. Today a neighborhood kid went intovmy greenhouse and somehow got ahold of my bald faced hornet queen brooding combs and took off with it. I later found out my one nest was destroyed and went all over town to find it (i live in a very small town of 1000-1400 pple so I followed a trail of the layers of the hive and found my baby queens all mushed😭 i cried over their deaths and went to prepare a grave and counted all combs and marked on it “243 baby hornets died today, because people like to seexme suffer and feel pain in my heart. I trust animals more than my own kind (fucking humans) they could’ve had a wonderful life as queens of their own empire. As of today i will get a permit from my towns mayor , to save all hives that are in other peoples homes and bring them all to my home as my home is theirs. Any fatalities will have their own grave. On the permit I hopefully get. My bees and wasps that get killed by any other non-natural way will be payed the amount of money required to keep them safe at all costs.”
I feel like if I did bee keeping I would have to wear a protective bee suit around them. I would not be comfortable touching them with bare ungloved hands.
Other wasps: so why are you so different? Why aren't you attacking him? The yellow jacket: this human raised me and i accept that. Other wasps: excuse me *_W H A T?!_*
Oh am I doing it wrong? I usually put my coat on a coat rack or the floor. I didn’t know I’m supposed to go into the homeowners bedroom and put my coat in their closet.
"Lets open the container in my room" - oh god there she goes ..OOHH "She's in the closet" "Now lets open the door again, hopefully she wont leave " ....this guy
You've inspired me, and there just so happens to be a wasp nesting outside my door. I would love to see an uncut video with the entire process, from the beginning, to the point where it is flying back to you (with honey, of course). I would love for this to be a thing in my world, and maybe have something really cool to show my brother. The bond between man and creature is remarkable
Several comments are justified: 1) This is a queen of Vespula squamosa (sometimes called the "southern yellow jacket". This species normally "usurps" colonies of other species, usually Vespula maculifrons (or "eastern yellow jacket"). Therefore, this lone queen is unlikely to initiate a colony, even in nature. 2) Yellow jacket queens search for suitable nesting sites--they don't make them themselves. For species that usually initiate colonies underground, the queens seek existing openings, such as where a small animal has dug a tunnel or a root has decayed, and this tunnel must have an open space inside that is large enough for the nest the queen will make, so this space must be at least the size of a golf ball, and must have something at the top, such as a hanging rootlet, for the queen to use as an initial attachment point. The tunnel to this space only has to be large enough for the queen to travel through, so if it has a diameter of a third of an inch, that is sufficient. The length isn't critical; some are over a foot in length while other are barely an inch. If one is providing a nesting site, I would suggest perhaps 2 to 5 inches from the outside to where the open space inside begins. 3) A lone queen flying around in the spring is completely unaggressive, but will sting if accidentally grabbed, squeezed, or bodily restrained. Thus, there is no danger in allowing it to walk on your arm, etc. However, if a queen is sitting in its hibernation position with wings tucked underneath, it might sting if touched--they are "grumpy" at this point. A queen of V. squamosa has a fairly painful string, at least as severe as that of a worker. (Stings of queens of some other species seem to be somewhat less severe than those of their respective workers.) 4) Vespula squamosa uses "sound" wood to make its gray paper. A good source would be from a weathered cedar fence post, as this is what I've seen the workers collect in the field. 5) Having a lot of extraneous animals in the place where you want the nest will be of no help, and probably more of a source of disturbance to the queen. 6) I would be extremely surprised if the setup in the video was successful in enticing that queen to establish a colony. It would be better to find a small colony starting naturally, and then transplant it. If it is a colony of one of the host species such as V. maculifrons, a queen of V. squamosa could be captured and introduced to see if it will "usurp" it. If one transplants a colony (hoped from a few miles away so the insects don't return to their original site), it would be best to open it to the outside as soon as possible, so the workers can find their preferred food and pulp sources. I worked in a laboratory in which we did this. I transplanted a colony containing a queen of V. squamosa, and a couple dozen workers of each of V. squamosa and V. maculifrons (into a nest box we had developed), and the colony thrived to maturity, becoming 100% V .squamosa as the workers of V. maculifrons died off.
There's a classic rock song..."too much time on my hands", which should be added to this video as an ending bumper. Oh, and does he know that "yellow jackets can easily eat holes through the drywall"? I'm still recovering from the sting my German "friends" gave me after I tried to retrieve my infrequently used sledge hammer in my old toolbox which they decided I wasn't using anymore and decided to make that their home. In polite society, aren't you supposed to ask first before you just crash at someone's house? :)
him when he sees a yellow jacket on his wall: Come here baby come here me when i see a normal bee that wouldnt sting me: AHHHhHHhHH *RUNS 100000 MILES AWAY
Queen bee: I want to sleep in you bed Josh: hey that’s not you property Me: lol Nobody: Queen bee: get away from me Josh: oh are you scared Queen bee: yeah I lost my mind right now lol
going down a rabbit hole from this weekend's shenanigans led to me scooping a yellowjacket queen from the air (presumably looking for a place to live), but i mistook her for a hornet from her sheer size alone. she didn't sting me but realized i was not suitable to build on, so we parted ways. she was a nice friend for the 30 seconds i carried her
I knew this strange guy for a little while in high school the one time I go over to his house he shows me this rattlesnake he’s keeping in a fish tank in his closet he said it’s for one of the teachers he was going to put it in their desk. I think about it now something bad probably happened to him I didn’t really look into it but he stopped coming to school about a week later
If your able to tame a queen yellow jacket the rest of its offsprings will grow with that familiarity and they won’t sting him I saw this in a show ones don’t remember which I could be wrong thoe 😂😂
OMG Ronnie ok I went back did some research and yes wasp have great memory and will identify you as part of there colony there’s some videos although rare of people who have tamed a full wasp nest removing the nest and placing it somewhere else and not being stung at all they just followed to the relocation I also read but did not see video proof of you being able to signal danger by humming making them attack whatever is in the direction of your humming but this is actually illegal to do in certain parts of the world I’m guessing that’s the reason for there being no videos about it
one time when i was 6 or 7 my grandma was mowing the lawn and there was a nest of yellow jackets in the ground and she mowed right by it when i was also right by it and they all got mad and came out and stung me i had like 15 stings on my legs combined i tell you i was dying 😃
Bruh, there were a bunch of facepalm moments in this: 1)First off, yellowjackets can chew through wood. If she makes a nest they might chew through the wood and get out into your room 2) Trying to take a wasp that has no interest in hanging out with you. If the honey wasn't enough for her to calm down, all you're gonna do is scare her and that's not a great idea for a stinging insect 3) Opening the container and not being prepared for when she flew out. If she had flown into the vent there would be nothing you could do about. Best way to catch a wasp indoors is to get a cup and a piece of paper big enough to cover the opening, like a mail card from a magazine. Use the card to get the wasp into the cup and put the cup above it so that if it starts to fly it flies into the cup. It's a lot better than using your hands, trust me. Still, props for doing something few people have done before
Josh: AND DESTROY THE WORLD! MWAHAHAHAHAHA Me: O-O Josh:No. Just kidding. This is for scientific purpose's and entertainment. Not world domination Me: ... Me: what did I just witness- ;-; Josh: If YOU can guess what's in THIS CONTAINER then awesome but if you DON'T the you have to like, and subscribe right now Me: oooooooooooooooh okay! Me: **Gets it correct** Me: Meh..... I'll still subscribe and like oh wait I'm already subbed XD Btw won't the Wasps KILL the Texas Blind Snake?
"These are for scientific and entertainment purposes only" *looks somewhere else, then back at the camera* Me: ... soooooooo are the wasps in my yard tryna take over the world... orrrrrrrr.......
Yeah I got stung by the eye and my whole face got swollen and my sister got done by by a whole bunch of yellow jackets and she died so hope you be careful and maybe want to date
