If I was a hornet, it’d be deserved

Hornets built a nest on the side of my mothers house. They built it in the corner of one of the windows cut out area. They build the nest , so that you could be inside the house, and look inside the hive all the way to the center. The newspaper even came in took photos and wrote a story about it in the paper.. once I was at the pool sitting near the concession stand having a Coke, and one of these things landed on my shoulder. My girlfriend got all excited. I told her, if you don’t bother them, don’t swing at them, don’t scare them, they won’t sting you. So I let it sit on my shoulder without making a fuss. It stung me

When I was about 10. We moved to the back woods of West Virginia. There was a small out building, behind the cabin. On the back side of it was a *huge* hornet nest. 3ft in diameter. My grandfather put on a bunch of pairs of pants, shirts & jackets. On top of that, he put on his bib waders. He used welder's gloves, and one of my grandmother's wide brimmed sun hats. He draped a sheer curtain over it and tucked it into the topmost jacket. Used a torch to burn the nest down. (Nearly took out the whole building), but he didn't get stung once.

Hornets once attacked the window of my room, and they started to get inside through the tiny holes where the shutter belt came in. I was running out half naked and started to burn everything I could find under my windows to make a big smoke. After about 20 minutes, all of them left.

Excellent video Shawn! Thank you for showing us what’s what in a BFH nest. I did this with a paper wasp nest that was eating my honey bees a while back. The paper wasps sat outside my beehive and jumped on the backs of bees emerging to forage, they immediately chewed the heads off of their honey bee victims and then flew their bodies home to feed their young. It took me an hour of following slow wasps carrying dead honey bees through trees and hills to find the wasp nest half a mile away from my hive! Needless to say, the wasps are gone now :)

I remember being a kid in the summer, watching my grandfather climb up a ladder to get rid of one of these. He wore only his bathing suit lol. He slowly slipped a paper bag underneath the nest and very quickly broke the nest’s stem and folded down the top of bag. He’d then climb down the ladder with one hand and just COVER that paper bag with gasoline and light it up lol.

That skunk will tell all its brethren of your feast in its honour. You will never be skunked, sir.

For a couple of seasons I had a small hornet nest by my back door. Maybe 6 holes. (terminology?). They never bothered me and I rarely saw them so I left them alone. One year they made a bigger one farther back maybe golf ball size and more active so I sprayed them. Now that I have dogs I wouldn't allow the wasps live by my back door. But for a couple of years we lived OK together. I also had a carpenter bee (or offspring) for about 8yrs until we changed the back awning. A male would dive bomb me if I got too close but that's about it. Maybe I was playing with fire.

That evening when it cooled down I dragged the chair out into the driveway, doused it with lighter fluid, and set it ablaze.

I have to give you props for being so calm while doing this. I guess it’s just a matter of exposure, but I’m sure that even with all the right protection, the instinct to avoid the things you’re doing to the nest would be almost unbearable. You seem entirely unfazed, and unflinching. Last summer I found the beginnings of EIGHT wasp nests inside of my van - mostly just about quarter-sized, but a few that were more developed and around the size of your palm - and I have no idea why they were so attracted to this place. I found them in various crevices and the largest was in the void near where the driver’s side door hinges. It doesn’t seem like a very hospitable location for building paper nests, and I was a little skittish for awhile, imagining there might be one that I hadn’t found that would emit a bunch of soldiers at some random point while I was barreling through traffic. Thankfully this never happened. Any clue what made my van so attractive to them? I’m also not sure how they got in, but I suppose there could be any number of ways. I washed down the van very thoroughly, thinking that maybe some pheromone trails were indicating an entry point for others. Not sure if that’s a thing, but after 8 nests, I didn’t know what else to do!

The hornets just watched their home turn into an unboxing video

i love how calm this guy is it makes me happy

How long did it take for them to stop attacking you? And where do you think they go when the nest is gone? And how long do they live? Amazing video. Thanks

So I'm by no means as expert but I've watched a lot if stuff about hornets and from what I've learned that nest should be empty right now. Hornets don't live through the winter like honey bees. When the temperatures drop all the workers die and the queen finds somewhere to hibernate for the winter and will build a new nest from scratch the following year.
