WASP NEST MUSEUM

[NIETZSCHEAN14]

I have never seen anything like that, very impressive. Thank you.

[eedora123]

Wow! Really cool and impressive collection. Hats off to you for amassing this collection!

[shaunlee3423]

I have a mexican wasp nest. Do you want to buy it?

[Wuffy1970]

@shaunlee3423 I sent you a message. I am looking forward to hearing from you.

[C0RYspicer]

That is really cool. Shipping them must be a bitch.

[Wuffy1970]

@C0RYspicer Thanks! Actually, shipping nests is easy if you know what you are doing. Lots of stryofoam packing peanuts are used while packing nests.

[Maemyers]

I have a phobia to bugs and I dont get how you can live with that.

[Wuffy1970]

@Maemyers The nests are abandoned. So, there is nothing to be afraid of.

[SDKsa1]

pretty interesting Love to it

[Wuffy1970]

@SDKsa1 Thanks!

[BradShort94]

my skin is officially crawling. something about the sight of hornets nests creeps me out lol

[VespulaVulgaris17]

Awesome collection. Was it your idea to put Dead specimens on some of your nests? That's an awesome idea, they look really cool. I think I'm going to do that.

[Wuffy1970]

@VespulaVulgaris17 Thanks! Yep, it was my idea. I say go for it! The dead specimens make the nests look like they are still active. I am glad that my wasp nest collection inspires you. This makes me very happy. :)

[mauralove93]

Thats scary buuut cool! Good work bro :)

[Wuffy1970]

@mauralove93 Thanks! :)

[ZerkaMane]

All I can say is, I hope you never get demonic hauntings, .. you might face some serious problems with your museum. : l

[Wuffy1970]

@ZerkaMane I've never had anyone tell me this before.

[hellojimmychuchu]

this makes me want to eat honey

[Wuffy1970]

@hellojimmychuchu YUMMY!!! :)

[ViolentKisses87]

It looks like a alien movie and this is their breeding room O.o

[Wuffy1970]

@ViolentKisses87 LOL

[shinobitech13]

i wonder what they taste like (the honeybee nests)

[SpicyDragoon]

@ElizabethHatesYou Grow up and go away mate.

[supernerd1103]

Why on earth...

[Wuffy1970]

@supernerd1103 Why not? :)

[delta1O5]

I have these black wasps building tubes out of mud on the side of my house. They're full of paralyzed caterpillars, spiders and grubs for their young to eat (I'm assuming). Do you know what species they would be?

[Wuffy1970]

@delta1O5 Judging from your description, I am pretty sure that you have pipe organ mud daubers.

[delta1O5]

@Wuffy1970 Thanks, I Googled it and the images matched the nests and what the wasps looked like.

[Wuffy1970]

@lostkid19 I get most of my nests on the Internet.

[theramansi]

I have to admit that I would never have imagined having such a collection in my home. It has been really cool learning about these creatures. Thank you for expanding my knowledge of insects. Love ya hun!

[Wuffy1970]

@theramansi AWWWWWWW... Such sweet heartfelt words! It makes me very happy that I am able to educate you on these fascinating insects. It does feel like that we are living inside a museum, doesn't it? I am glad that you don't mind my collection in our living space. I love you very much, Thermy baby!!!

[dds44ftw]

WTF

[mintmarshall]

this looks like the lair of leatherface

[Wuffy1970]

@mintmarshall It IS the lair of Leatherface! MUHAHAHAHA!!!!!

[cullyvan]

Unique , so good luck to you. I just fuckered a huge nest today, about three feet tall on the side of the garage. Wish I hadn't destroyed it now.

[Wuffy1970]

@cullyvan That 3 foot tall nest would have gone perfect in my collection of monster nests! Oh, well... You will know better next time.

[wangjiamushay]

too much

[kidd20grams]

VVVV hater comments. Nice collection

[diotus21]

Are you an entomologist?

or do you do this for fun?

[Wuffy1970]

@diotus21 I do this for fun. It is a hobby of mine that I am very passionate about.

[Ceptecatoto]

Theres a wasps nest hanging on the roof of my porch, its about the size of a fist and its a yellow jacket nest.................ile sell it to you :)

[smallpicture]

How long have you been collecting?

[Wuffy1970]

@smallpicture I've been collecting nests since I was a teenager back in the 1980's. Though I started my current collection back in the year 2000.

[chillgrabs]

what a burning passion

[DOMIDOOM]

Borderline creepy but at least you have a passion

[tcappys]

I need to purchase wasps nests. Is it possible that you could give me info on that.

[Wuffy1970]

@tcappys You can purchase nests on Ebay. This is where I get most of mine.

[tcappys]

Where can I purchase wasp nests for our t.v. show



[tearsforthesheep]

I love the passion you possess with your hobby. This is a great collection, it must have taken many years to get here. Keep it up man and don't let these clowns discourage you from doing what you love.

[Wuffy1970]

@tearsforthesheep Thanks for your kind words! I started my current collection back in the year 2000. So, I've been collecting these nests for eleven years (and counting).

[thatlincolnguy]

so my question is how long would it take the wasp to build the larger size nest

[Wuffy1970]

@thatlincolnguy A typical North American wasp nest is started in the spring by a queen and then the nest is abandoned & the wasps die in the late fall/early winter after a couple of hard freezes.

[americansmark]

Mental illness?

[faloc]

that room, i will never enter.... those things just make my skin crawl xD As Im watching right now Im grinding my teeth

[brittisnow]

good lord he keeps his soda next to those things!



[brittisnow]

wasps and bees scare me, and they kinda make me wanna vomit, but damn they're interesting.

[Matthewmartinez1999]

lawl even if there dead would you have the balls to take them down from the tree etc :P.... i think it's pretty cool.

[fossilhunterCarlos]

nice collection!!! ignore those haters, they have no life. i'm a fossil collector by way.

[Wuffy1970]

@fossilhunterCarlos Thanks for your comment on my video. I laugh at the haters! I find them to be very amusing. By the way, fossils are awesome!

[southstar66]

my gawd

[jdrdsn]

How did you make the fake nest?

[Wuffy1970]

@jdrdsn I used real hornets' nest paper and glued it to a gourd to make the fake nest.

[constipationnow]

the one in the middle is my favorite - crazywaspguy

[chillardbee]

very awsome, best display i've ever seen. keep up the good work. and like bernard said, ignore the haters, they have no appriciation for a good collection or the collector. thanks for sharing.

[Wuffy1970]

@chillardbee I sincerely appreciate your kind words. I really wish there were more people like you in this world.

[lenskap]

I don't mind the nests, it's the occupants I'm not crazy about.

[ragingtornadoes]

damn thats 1 huge wasp/hornet/yellowjacket nest collection!

[Wuffy1970]

@ragingtornadoes Yep, it sure is huge! I am very proud of my collection.

[bernard35]

Very impressive collection, ignore the haters :)

[Wuffy1970]

@bernard35 Thank you! :)

[catalina31768]

I bet you have a way with the ladies.

[ArebearFTW]

@catalina31768 He has it bad with the ladies, because he is gay, he even says on his channel that he is gay.

[wingwing0404]

So ugly nest

[Wuffy1970]

@chevalier89able Why would I do a silly thing like that???

[makemebadfan95]

better hope a queen doesn't stumble upon that shit O.o

[tostrong4you]

So you had to but these? How much ea?

[Wuffy1970]

@tostrong4you Yes, I buy most of my nests.  They range in price from $3.00 to $300.00 each.

[TreystaFXATARIEN]

Are there still Wasps,Hornets,& Bees in those nests? and if so are they alive?

[gab1105]

@TreystaFXATARIEN are you retarded?

[eviltrucks101]

@TreystaFXATARIEN i would shit my pants if they were alive!

[Wuffy1970]

@TreystaFXATARIEN I am not stupid enough to keep active nests inside my apartment. The wasps that you do see in my collection are dead and preserved. All of my nests have been naturally vacated before I got them.

[TreystaFXATARIEN]

@Wuffy1970 oh ok cool collection though

[courtdar]

Thanks for the vid. Very nice collection!

[MEGA93M]

and you should build a rased glass room outside and buy sume living wasps and let the build nests fore you all you need to do is put dirt and plants in it :)

[MEGA93M]

cool can you send me one ,make a vid on how to make the fake one and ple ple ple make some more videos on this ple ple ple

[Wuffy1970]

@MEGA93M I used real hornets' nest paper and glued it to a gourd. This is how I made the fake nest.

[rocket4rocket]

How did u vacate them?

[Wuffy1970]

@rocket4rocket The nests are already naturally vacated by the time I get them. The safest way to collect nests is after they are abandoned by the wasps in the late fall/early winter after a couple of hard freezes.

[therealhazarks]

lol

[Stoopudjurcee1]

Geez... does your wife know about your obsession? Oh wait, I doubt you have one! HAW HAW HAW HAW!

[fearhunter09]

hey how did u keep the bees on their nests?

[fearhunter09]

well thats a cool thing to collect

[ivanlagrossemoule]

I once had a wasp nest outside my house. When I saw them destroy it I so wanted to keep it. I find them awesome.

Really nice collection you have there. Imagine cutting down a tree and having one of those massive nests falling on you... lol

[sunniedaze63]

Thats pretty impressive & scary at the same time! Im terrified of wasps, bees hornets etc and happen to have a catalpa tree out back and in the last 2 days it is being swarmed with wasps & hornets and i cant see any nest! Does there HAVE to be a nest if they are swarming the tree? Its a HUGE tree and i cant see everything in it but wouldnt the nest be pretty visible to me? im lost! dont know what to do and im in pure panic mode! can you please help me by letting me know if there HAS to be a nest

[emoon16]

at first I thought this guy is nuts....now after seeing video, yes I still think you are crazy, but its cool to see.

[AntsEngland]

u sure like your nests :]

[Duboisi]

Impressive collection. Those honey-wasps sounds interesting, and that skyscraper nest was quite amazing.

Dont know if I would have dared to stay in that room though. I am scared of wasp-nest even at winthertime.:-)

[padude64]

If you work in an area where areas are not disturbed and you suddenly open an area where nests are most like to be found, you need to be extremely careful!

[idiotboyification]

how do you tell the difference between the yellow jackets' nest and the like . . . the bald faced hornets' nest?

[Wuffy1970]

@idiotboyification Actually, the bald-faced hornet is a type of yellowjacket. Though typical yellowjackets are yellow & black and are smaller than the bald-faced hornet. The bald-faced hornet is larger than typical yellowjackets and are mostly black with white markings. Oh, their nests are similar in that they are globular in shape with tiers of horizontal combs on the inside of the nest.

[cartoonman11]

As much as i dislike bees, wasps, hornets, etc, they make some beautiful and wierd looking hives.

[seeyouinaugust1]

they are HUGE

[supersmartie11]

hey @WUFFY1970 I was wondering about the nest at 0:45 how did you stick those wasps on the nest cause if you could tell me i would take a nest from my collection and hang it up on my fathers little bar and then i could hang wasps on my nest so it will look real .also he is REALY gulible.

[Wuffy1970]

@supersmartie11 I glued the wasps on the nest. Have fun scaring your father! LOL!!!

[syeshasucks]

fantastic objects.. thank-you for sharing....

i recommend you watch this japanese animation..

Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind

[oyasuminasaix]

@Aqwquang He doesn't, he waits for the wasps to leave the nests before taking them, I read him saying this on a forum

[Star13570]

That's actually, pretty amazing. Like a piece of artwork. ^^  I can see why you like to collect them.

[Wuffy1970]

@Star13570 These nests are "masterpieces of nature" in my humble opinion.

[cosmo13dk]

Very intresting!!

How did you get all those?

[Wuffy1970]

@cosmo13dk I get most of my nests on the Internet.

[MrSRE1]

that was truly interesting.

[Toerme]

That's creeeeepy

[xXxSweetCyNxXx]

it looks like some of these ppl are sooo damn stupid....i dont think they know that there are not any bees wasp or hornets in those.....stupid ppl i tell ya.....that was kool though

[sil80evryday2]

dude thats nuts

[LordByahh]

You should not tell people about these and just shove them in the room and lock the door. :D

[royalprince24]

trypophobia people would die in this room lol

[cancerbubble85]

2:09, how many wasps were in that nest, its huge!!

[Wuffy1970]

@cancerbubble85 I would estimate this giant yellowjacket nest had 20,000 to 25,000 adult insects at its peak.

[mrlancerlou1]

tat is so cool, that is his life

[BNSF9250]

wow dude thats really cool. we need to preserve these insects and this is interesting that some wasp nests look like how winnie the pooh bee hives were drawn

[Juicedup58]

i saw a ghost in the left corner WTFFFF gett outta that room

[trzproductions]

nice collection..

[jisa61]

nice collection you got there

[supersmartie11]

well I am only 9 1/2 and i am a collector of bees,wasps,and hornets nests.I've ben doing this since i was 7. i have MONSTER nests also i get some of my MONSTER ones from my fathers work and my mothers old work plus some from my neighbors ,other businesses, family reunions ,my house, trees ,the woods my cousins ,other people on my street and where ever i see them, i hope you wasp nest collecters get a clue where to find them have fun collecting.

[Wuffy1970]

@supersmartie11 WOW!!! I would love to see photos of your monster nests!

[janisscho]

My 6 1/2 year old son is an avid nest collector and loves this video! He is becoming quite the expert... thank you for posting it :) He has a lot of small nests and now has aspirations for a collection like yours.

[3michaelsin]

how do dhe wasp find the exit???

[AcaAllertor127]

Interesting how that mud dabber was built on a light bulb.Mud dabbers appear in the weirdest of places like the one in the leg of my outdoor table.Where was the light bulb when the nest was built?

[Wuffy1970]

@AcaAllertor127 The bulb was in a porch light.

[AcaAllertor127]

im starting a collection of wasp nests and currently i have 1 nest.its a european paper wasp nest, and there are two outside my room both abandoned and less than an inch across. theres one in my trucks grill too,and one on the stoop. various mud dabbers all over the house.there all small though>:(

[Wuffy1970]

@AcaAllertor127 How is your wasp nest collection coming along???

[gmm3780]

heres a hornets nesss. lol. dude that one giant yellow jacket "ness" is on wikipedia i think

[Wuffy1970]

@gmm3780 Yes, you are correct. I put a photo of one of my yellowjacket nests on Wikipedia.

[apismellifera1000]

Hey Terry this is hornissen from the VL I now have vids of mason bees online I am apismellifer1000 on Youtube go to my channel and see my mason bee vids

[thatwasftw]

that is a nice collection, must have taken you awhile to get all of those.

[Wuffy1970]

@thatwasftw Yeah, it has taken me 11 years (and counting) to collect all these nests.

[ijjiGm]

i have a question does are all the bee's in there real or fake and are they alive? or glued on nest

[Wuffy1970]

@ijjiGm All the wasps are real and preserved.

[moose2llama]

@MrBuckShotgun wow, you're very intelligent aren't you?

[complimentsheck]

nice vid m8

[TheSydnick]

WOW That is so cool, um but are the insects in there real and alive?

[Wuffy1970]

@TheSydnick The insects are real and preserved.

[WeirdWorldAquariums]

Great Vid and collection. You could probably start a museum. I started collecting white face hornets nest when out hunting in the fall. The leaves fall from the trees and you can see them when walking in the woods here in the northwest. I gave most away to fellow hunters so they could hang them as decorations in their hunting displays.

[Wuffy1970]

@WeirdWorldAquariums I think it is awesome that you collect these beautiful nests and give them to people who would appreciate them. They truly are "masterpieces of nature" in my humble opinion!

[Aerodeth]

That is what MY idea of Hell would look like...

[AntsCanada]

This is honestly such an awesome display of enthusiasm and passion for a group of animals! Kudos from The AntsCanada Ants Store!

[antdude]

@AntsCanada Ditto from an ant lover. I'd love to see empty ant colonies like this.

[Wuffy1970]

@AntsCanada Thank you very much! WASPS RULE!!! :)

[jeweledmama2008]

@MrBuckShotgun Why would you do something like that? The guy probably worrked very hard putting that together and i think it's pretty neat & very educational. How would you feel if some jerk ruined something you made and are proud of? why even say it, it's not funny at all to talk about vandalizing someone else's property? You need tp grow up & get a life, dude.

[AcaAllertor127]

he is just jealous of your collection of gigantic nests! the wasps in my area (florida) look like those red wasp nests but smaller

[albertoe12345]

LOL one looked exactly like an apple

[docbeetle]

thats some cool shit,,I have a few large nests myself

[Wuffy1970]

@docbeetle Thanks. I would love to see your photos of your nests!

[mcphailj123]

Dude your collection is awesome!!!!!!!

[Wuffy1970]

@mcphailj123 Thank you very much for your kind words about my collection!

[DigitalGunStudios]

how u get those u ever been stung?

[Wuffy1970]

@DigitalGunStudios The safest way to collect nests is after they are abandoned by the wasps in the late fall/early winter after a couple of hard freezes.

[skirts365]

My uncle was going up a deer blind in East Texas and slowly backed down as he saw HUGE red wasp nest. Returning at 2AM he burned it out with long gas soaked torch. As small kid I saw nest were there really over 400 cells in it it's the # I remember but it could have been less those red bastards are mean and will kill just like snakebite it hit in numbers. A nest that's really hard to collect---digger wasps.

[Wuffy1970]

@skirts365 Man, I would LOVE to add some huge red wasp nests to my collection! Please let me know if you find any. Thanks!

[Mazza4Azza]

How do they make nests? Bark?

[supersmartie11]

@Mazza4Azza they chew up wood ,then return to their nest ,and they spit it out on the nest and wait for it to become paper .

[MrNeno45]

scares me just looking at them

[surf115]

scary im not felling good now

[jamesbom93]

If you come to my house you can have my huge wasp nest as long as you get rid of the wasp.

[331039331039]

this is very cool and you have alot of cool stuff

[MrCaptainStoudty]

*looks around and stairs in shock* Its either I shrunk or these nest are realy big!! I would love to see your colection in person!

[Benglator1]

Cool collection you have there and if I find any in my area that would fit in it I will send you a message. Check out my bee videos I do when I feed them. They are pretty cool. I stay away from the hornets though

[Wuffy1970]

@Benglator1 Thank you very much for keeping me in mind just in case you come across some nice nests. I would be more than happy to add them to my collection.

[teabaggervance8]

this is amazing--way to commit to a hobby and intellectually illuminate the obscure-

[Akazzzle]

at 4:00 what is the reason for all the layers?

[Wuffy1970]

@Akazzzle The purpose of the layers is to insulate the colony inside the nest.

[Akazzzle]

@Wuffy1970 awesome collection u got

[WimperBoy777]

Friend comes in

Friend - Could I use the bathroom?

You - Sure!

Friend walks across that room

Friend - *GIRLY SCREAM! RUN AWAY!

WASPS!
