That was a great shot at 2.40 showing 1 making it.

I'd move camp and leave them be (or wasp)

Ive got to check my new camp im moving to,sat for a drink and 4 or 5 appeared

Good vid Mike,keep them coming,it's all part of nature and woodlore!

@MrSkooty1968

Thanks bud! Yes i love them but as far as im concerned im out of there for good, looks like they moved from a spot about 20 meters away which was disturbed. I will check around when looking for my next spot!!

If you respect the Bee the Bee will respect you :)

@CiaranRooney125

Most certainly but its not always the way with these wasps.

[dan5six]

Is that a Jay or a parakeet

[wall2rockclimber]

@dan5six

These were a mixture of parakeet and greater spotted woodpecker.

As long you keep you distance and move slow, you will not have trouble. Hornets are only agressive if you try to destroy the nest or they think you try to destroy the nest. Take care, Benedikt

Cool vid. Love the bit at 4:00. EPIC MIKE!

we have a pool and these things set in the gras next to the pool, seems once or twice a year I step on one of them and it feels like a 2" needle is jammed direct into the arch of your foot. incredibly painfull. When they make nests under our roof eves, I spray them with adhessive glue and it stops the in their tracks.

Great video Mike. The science of it seams to be that wasps start feeding on rotting summer fruit where the yeast in the skins has started to ferment the fructose inside. Basically they get a bit drunk, as well as indiscriminate of where they fly or what they sting.

[ESAPOWER]

Wasps tend to be more aggressive if you Smell, are Loud, are hot, move arround lots, or try to swat them.

In my job with the ranger service, we had a specific routine for wasps when brushcutting. You spot the nest about the time where 400 wasps buzz out, very pissed that you just cut into their hive... Then you THROW the brushcutter down off of the harness, after GUNNING The engine, and you run like a blue-assed fly, hoping the smoke, and noise makes them angry at the cutter, not you!

Saw a wasp sting my Dad and knock him to his knees......only time I saw my Dad drop.

I was hiking up a mountain in Colorado one summer and grabbed a tree for balance. In the tree was a hanging hornets nest. I got stung a couple times before I got out of there.

Feck that !!!! - wasps are the most sadistic critters i know of because they seem to sting purely for pleasure. Maybe its just me but a wasp can pick me out of a crowd of thousands and give me no end of grief. If there were two or three of them i would move to a different county never mind a different part of the woodland lol.

Some people have a phobia of clowns or spiders - mine is wasps

You are a brave guy Mike for going up to the nest

Peace
