There is a common misconception that this is an invasive species. These wasps are native to my area and play a critical role in the environment. In addition to helping farmers regulate pest insects, they are also pollinators. They love to drink nectar from flowers, pollinating them in the process.

This is long, sorry. Read if yah want. But I think most of us were a bit ill-conditioned to fear bees and wasps. I am highly allergic to bees…yet handle them every day and adore them. As a child it was drilled into me that bees and wasps were scary, terrible, awful things. Then I learned how beneficial namely bees are. They swarm my hummingbird feeders and I felt awful learning this happens if they don’t have enough nectar sources so I planted some, and got “bee hotels”. Weirdly enough I lost my fear. I approach them with respect, having researched the best way to approach and handle them. And it’s to the point where I feel entirely comfortable walking over and slowly scooping a handful of honey bees off my hummingbird feeder so I can refill it. I don’t suggest anyone try this, namely those allergic. Especially if people aren’t immediately nearby and know what you’re doing. But I’ve learned that they aren’t spiteful, mean creatures. In fact when I get stung (VERY rarely) I have this moment of “I need to get this stinger out immediately but can’t yank it!” Because this will often kill bees. Non allergic people can often even let them work themselves out, instead of yanking away or smacking away. And there’s almost always a recognizable reason for me getting stung, that was my fault. Wasps, I’ll admit, are a bit more aggressive. They do still make me nervous. It didn’t help that my elderly neighbor was killed by hornets while cutting grass. So wasps/hornets ans the like make me nervous. But wasps are definitely the same in that if you keep a respectful distance, you should be fine. I’d never approach a wasp nest without protective gear (I’ll absolutely approach a honey bee hive without protective gear). I think when it comes to them, it’s just super important to be aware of your surroundings, don’t stumble upon them, and certainly don’t do anything to aggravate them.

"Many of you are probably wondering what happened to the queen yellowjacket in the last video. After caring for her for two weeks, I quickly realized she was too aggressive. I settled on releasing her far, far away from my house." As someone who knows wasps really well, this was a smart move. The queens you had before represented basically the two most aggressive, unruly wasp species in North America. They both would've tried to build nests that were way too large for the enclosure you had. The paper wasps in this video are kittens by comparison. For reference, your first queen was a bald-faced hornet (Dolichovespula maculata). The second was a southern yellowjacket (Vespula squamosa). The third is a northern paper wasp (Polistes fuscatus).

Unless I'm missing some video that was deleted or some other clue that would indicate otherwise, he wasn't successful with the hornets/yellowjackets. I only see a video called "ATTEMPTING to keep a pet hornet", which the title itself indicates the attempt was not successful, let alone watching the video to confirm it. And also when I say "direct intervention" by humans, obviously it means actually feeding and interacting up close while using a bare hand with a normally functioning colony, as shown with the paper wasps. You may be able to pull that off with a captured yellowjacket queen outside her normal habitat. Or a normally functioning hornet/yellowjacket colony may let you observe the colony up close from a few feet away, but no matter how familiar they are with you I highly doubt you will be getting into close contact and offering honey directly to an active colony like you can with paper wasps. Watch Hornet King's channel where he relocates nests and still can only get so close to them before they display aggressive behavior.

I've seen studies that show that wasps can recognize the faces of other wasps. I've also seen by my own experience that captive crickets, katydids, and crayfish can recognize individual humans - and remember them. I have no doubt that your wasps were aware of who you are. And if they are anything like my arthropods, they were aware that you were the bringer of food and caused them no harm. As long as you didn't change their opinion on accident, you were probably safe with them around.

What beautiful creatures. Thank you for showing them so clearly.

The beginning of this summer (2023) I had a wasp nest of these same type of red and yellow paper wasps, at my work and watched it grow from a single queen into about 30 individuals. They were doing amazing and even though their nest was under the main steps into my warehouse, they never stung a single person or even bothered with them. Sadly this past week I went to check on them and some smaller animal (racoon, skunk, fox, etc) had pulled down their comb and ate all the larva. Destroying the entire neat. All the grown adults still stay in the same spot but they don't have a comb to live on anymore. It actually made me pretty sad because they are beautiful and were doing so well. Next year I plan to do something like this, keep a nest inside a clear box and have an outlet hole to the outside but keep them nice and safe on the inside. This picture frame idea is actually perfect. Thanks for the idea.

I spent an entire summer watching the colony, the queen, & all the stages of larvae. I spent hours one day waiting for the new baby wasps to finally emerge from the little hole. I truly felt like I had a pet wasp colony. When winter came, they all perished, but I hoped another colony would come take over, since I left the comb they had made, but none ever came.

We have a pretty cool set up at Sussex University, it's an indoor honeybee study lab where you can observe the honeybees indoors through a glass sheet, such as the one you have, but they still have access to the outside through a tube. This lets us study hive activity (specifically their 'wiggle dance' language) and not interfere with their natural foraging behaviour. Would be awsome to see a wasp hive with this set up on this channel. You would be able to study their predatory behaviour, observing the diversity of prey brought back to the colony. Awsome stuff!

These are some of the coolest looking wasps I've ever seen

I 'raise' (as in, have a garden setup to encourage the growth & reproduction of) scoliid wasps, specifically several species that are present locally and tackle both native and invasive pests such as several invasive species of scarabs. Its a pretty different experience to nest-making wasps, since the scoliid wasps will either hang around flowers or (for the mated females) will hang around areas with scarab grubs or spiders looking for prey for the next generation, but they don't swarm, and despite the females having stingers, they are completely docile - their stingers are really meant just for paralyzing their prey, and the only way to get stung by these wasps essentially requires capturing them and forcing them to sting you. They also have a rather pretty iridescence to them - easily some of my favorite insects.

As a bee keeper my dad always said that we are the invaders, not the bees or wasps, they just try to protect their territory. It made me totally tolerate these creatures around me. Yeah, living the sweet life on my patio. 😀

We'd let him crawl all over us. I absolutely loved how much it tickled when he'd walk across the back of my neck. He was with us for about a month before he crawled into a bush one day and we couldn't find him. I miss the little guy. RIP Buzzard.

somehow you managed to make me feel impressed by wasps

On my stepfather's acreage, in the basement every year we had mud dauber wasps that would build nests for the winter. Come spring and summer we would open up the back door for them to fly up and outside. I actually featured them in a term paper I was doing. Trained some of them, with honey to come to me when I held up my finger. I got the duty to get wasps out of the house when one couldn't find the way on their own. They were great in getting rid of cut worms for their young. I was never stung. But did get stung by our honey bees, often without reason. The wasps you have in your video are very beautiful.

Thanks for supporting nature at the end for realising them that was kind

I was so nervous while watching your video knowing that something bad was gonna happen. Keep up the good work!

I've been waiting for you to upload a new video for so long! Thank you for making great content!

One day those wasps will return thank you for raising them

Respect for handling the wasps like that. I have big red stinging ants and I get nervous when handling them they have a hair trigger and a very painful sting. Some species can be pretty aggressive but I've never been stung by my ants. Being able to read their body language and knowing their comfort zone is important.

Here I am trying to get into having bees for my garden, meanwhile u go housing hornets... in your home. That's G.O.A.T. status

Awesome video. Appreciate for the time and effort. Creating the video is one thing. Growing the wasps is another thing. This video deserves a million views.

youre a mad man and I love it. Been binge watching your videos, keep it up man

Its fascinating that something as mean as wasps can be warm hearted parents

they are really beautiful creatures!
