Taking his suit off at the very site he destroyed the nest shows HIS ABSOLUTE CONFIDENCE IN HIS JOB.

And they sent a whole team of people to WA State to take out one nest and this guy does it alone with a pick, a couple of plastic juice bottles and another smaller jar to catch the stragglers lol. Total respect for him.

I cannot believe he did this with Asian giant Hornets. We are watching a Legend here ladies and gentlemen.

I think Guinness needs to update their record on who has the biggest balls in the world

When he took off half his body suit right next to the uprooted hive I was freaking. Like, how is it possible there are not a dozen stragglers just coming back to the hive and going crazy on him? This guy is a champ!

From my limited mandarin understanding, most of what he's saying is remarking on what he's doing atm: 0:40 - We're looking for disturbed earth, which indicates the presence of the nest . 1:09 - We tagged [a hornet] at the base of the mountain, but we lost track of it, so we're tagging another one. We're not advancing any further (in danger of stumbling upon the nest). 1:24 - He said that one of them has gone to the opposite mountain face to see where exactly the hornet is heading. It's too dangerous (to just keep pushing forward). 2:00 - We just wasted another half an hour, and it's raining now. We're now in a 5 meter by 5 meter proximity of the nest, and are going to eliminate the nest. It's time to gear up. 2:25 - We've made a brand new hornet trap just for today. As for the nest, as there's a village nearby, we're going to exterminate them all. Let's go over to the entrance. 2:48 - Do you see the entrance? The tag is even still there. You can see the hornets moving the soil. 3:58 - We see the nest, it's a pretty big hole. Looks like three layers. 4:14 - It's more or less exposed, looks like three layers. Looks pretty full (?), let's remove it and take a look. 4:43 - It looks pretty full(?). 4 Layers. It weighs around 7 jin (3.5kg/7.7lbs). 4:59 - We're just catching the remaining hornets. 5:42 - Here's the queen. 6:02 - Look, the stinger is stuck in my glove. Look how long it is. 6:28 - We're removing our suits just 3 meters from where the nest was. This is because we exterminated the entire colony today. We exterminated the entire colony because they're very close to a village, 5-6 bee hives that way, and also a road. If they were on a mountain where people don't visit, I would recommend leaving some of them so as not to exterminate the entire colony. 6:53 - It seems to weigh around 7 jin (3.5kg/7.7lbs), and there's about 200 hornets in this container. There's more in this one, probably about 300.

Just the fact they managed to track one hornet back to it's hive in the middle of a mountain is incredible.

This man, and the cameraman have solid brass balls of steel. You are kings amongst men.

when a hornet is big enought to have a plastic walmart bag on it to track it you need to break out the flame throwers

Whilst I admire the gentleman’s technique and bravado I personally would have used a 40mm bofors,I mean those things weren’t hornets they were small living aircraft.

I've lived in SE Asia off and on since the 90's and the most impressive thing I saw is that he's in a neoprene armored space suit in what is probably 90 degree weather with 100% humidity. Got stung by one of those suckers one time hiking in Hong Kong. Luckily I had a small onion with me - specifically for wasp stings - and to my delight squishing a piece of onion until it was juicy and taping it on the sting spot worked almost as well as it does with smaller wasps. The only real difference was the actual tissue trauma inflicted by the giant stinger and/or those jaws. Kudos to this guy for being a real life boss.

I am VERY impressed. All it takes is a few soda bottles and a giant water bear suit which is super smart. A huge congrats and kudos to them!

This is such an excellent presentation. Even though it's not posted or CC'd in English, it's plain to understand the tracking methods in use. Much appreciated. We have a lot to learn.

Wow! English captions would be lovely.

Omg I don't understand how he walks through the forest so easily with testicles that gigantic. Absolutely amazing, he had the courage to mess with those jurassic monsters

I'm amazed and impressed that he achieved this without any toxic chemicals that I could see. Bravo!

The vibration from the wings have some BASS.

From what I've read on reddit, this nest was near a road and some honey bee hives the hornets were constantly attacking, and so the local villagers asked him to remove it. He likely was not paid to do this, but the liquid in the second container was likely grain alcohol, and the way he makes his money from this is by selling alcohol with the dead hornets in it, which for some reason is considered a delicacy in China. Mad props to this guy for doing such a dangerous job with little tech besides that seriously thick suit

No vacuums, just a butterfly net. What a legend!

Great video! I was in absolute awe watching - the camera work alone of the person capturing the entiretry, sharing with us viewers. 2 thumbs up to both. You did such an amazing job eliminating these dangerous HORNETS! Keep up the great work.

This was absolutely fascinating. Thank you to people in the comments section who were able to translate some of the conversation. I can only imagine the nightmare of stumbling upon a nest like this without the proper gear on.

Didn't understand a word. All I have to say is RESPECT!!!

What an absolutely ingenious method for locating the nest! Way to go guys!

That was crazy!! I've been watching wasp nest removals for years but I've never seen these before! His bravery and skill are both incredible!

That was absolutely incredible to watch! I’ve never seen someone take out a massive hornets nest by themselves, only using a large plastic bottle, a pick-axe, a glass jar, and a fly-swatter. This guy knows exactly what he’s doing and he’s extremely good at it. The hornets here in the United States can be dangerous but I know that the Asian variety are extremely dangerous, especially if you’re a bee keeper. One Asian hornet can annihilate an entire bee hive by standing in front of the hive entrance by chopping every single bee in half by using their mandibles. Asian hornets are a force to be reckoned with.

Crazy he just takes the suit off in the same spot

I didn't understand a single word he said, but I witnessed a high level professional execute an absolute amazing job. (Now subscribed)

These guys are smart, and brave and pretty tough. What an awesome job. You guys are heroes, keep up the good work!

A brave hero. Watching that was terrifying. I cannot imagine doing what he did while smiling and casually explaining what he's doing. Nothing but RESPECT for this bad-ass.

Would love to hear English translation/subtitles, Im sure you have a wealth of knowledge on the subject I wished I could understand.

Absolutely fascinating watching someone so skilled at a job.

Hornet: Look I got a new accessory Colony: FUCK

That’s insane how did he get his enormous balls in that protective suit amazing.

"Here's the queen" rage yeets into bottle.

That was the most clever way I've seen of catching the hornets and preventing a big swarm. Brilliant dude!!

Who is here from the short?

simply the hum of the hornets flying around the camera is enough to send me into a cold sweat

listening to this with headphones is literally a nightmare

Big props to the person who tied that plastic to that hornet. You are the real hero here.

Sure makes the bee suits we use here in Florida look like painter clothes. That suit, while hot, is definately what I would want to use when they get to Florida!

Just the sound of them buzzing by the microphone was enough to give me the willies

Love the children’s rock pool net, reminds me of days gone by at the beach when I was a child. Huge beasties.

This gentleman is an absolute RockStar, well done. 🇨🇦👍

Wow, so many and such a huge nest! That suit was crazy, I wouldn't be taking that suit off until I was far away from that area!

I wish I trusted anything as much as that guy trusts that suit… wow.

Outstanding work!!! Very efficient and fearless.

Great job sir.. you are very good at getting the nests.. Thank you..

Love this Video!! The Americans have had a recent invasion of the Hornets in the Pacific North West, Then mucked about with tagging a wasp with a bluetooth transmitter these boys just tag one with a piece of ribbon that they can see and follow it back to the nest

Asian Giant Hornet Queen: "WHY DO I HEAR BOSS MUSIC"

I understand that this nest had to go. Job wel done. But don't these hornets build remarkable, amazing, and ingenious structured beautiful nests!

Thanks for the subtitles, they helped a great deal as I don't happen to speak Mandarin.

This video is a lot more fun when you imagine he's a vengeful avatar summoned by the honey bees of the region performing a desperate dark ritual to defeat the giant hornets constantly raiding them

Wow! He captured, and dug up that nest like it was a walk in the park. Amazing job he did, and courage to.

I love how you track the hornet. simple but super effective.

I did not know anyone made suits to resist hornets. Very interesting. Amazing video.

That one dislike is the guy who brought murder hornets to America

The brave extraction aside, i found it fantastic how the hornets nest was neatly built under the soil, with only a small entrance.

Can someone please add English subtitles to the video? This guy is amazing. Would like to know more about his suit

Fantastic job. Thank you. Much respect to you.

This guy is my hero. I want to be on his team. I thought I had trouble with hornets in my backyard but that is crazy and I'm a bee keeper.

At 5:42 it looks like he grabbed a queen...that would prevent one less nest from re-establishing itself. This is amazing work!

the fact that this guy literally needs to wear half a hazmat suit to be protected from insects a fraction of his size. these things are inhumanely effective and the absolute stuff of nightmares

Hornet: evolution Humans: intellegence

Plot twist, the camera man is wearing shorts and t-shirt.

“My queen, our entire cavalry’s been captured in this impenetrable cubic forcefield..” Seems sallying forth against a besieging armored titan’s ineffective in Fortress Defense huh.

Amazing!!!!😱😱😱😱 This helps bees and the plants which are very important. Thanks to this person

bravo excellent travail pour sauver nos abeilles, merci pour votre travail

Some of the hornets being grabbed directly from the combs are probably teneral, meaning they've emerged recently, and are relatively feeble, unaggressive, incapable of flying, and of rather drab coloration. It takes a couple days for them to mature completely after emerging from their cocoons (which are in the cells having the white caps, which the insects chew open when they emerge).

Impressive and what a clever method. No chemicals used and very effective.

Probably has adaptively developed some resistance to the venom, similar to bee and snake handlers have some resistance. Thankyou for your service. The hornets, similar to many other insects, can develop immunity to pesticides, so after catching them they could be destroyed simply by pouring plenty of strong alcohol into the bottles. Ethanol would not poison ground water as bad as isopropyl or methanol, and after the big catch and nest removal operation, it would be good to soak the nest area with ethanol to destroy any stragglers. Ethanol also would probably destroy any hornet chemical pheromones.

can you use an vacuumcleaner aswell?

These guys just saved some human lives out there! Great job!

The decision to remove the bee suit while he's still at the site took balls. Picking up the nest bare handed. WOW.

Even if I had that suit on, inside a military tank that has been encased in concrete, I still wouldn't go near their nest. Much respect for these guys.

Incredible video. I just wish it had been CC in English because I would have loved to read his commentary as he worked.

The fact that he pulls out the nest so clean without breaking it makes it very satisfying.

The most insane part to me...in this merry-go-round of insanity...is how he's happy...smiling...barely even fazed...I'm terrified just watching this...nevermind actually doing it!

THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼 YOU MAKING THIS PLANET 🌎 A BETTER PLACE ! 👍👍👍👍👍

I just can’t get over how huge those things are! Even their buzzing sounds like the base booming out of a car system!

There's a light saber battle happening right around this guy and he doesn't even flinch!! I want a suit like that!!

That buzzing is very intimidating, the quantity of demons in that one nest is horrifying! He waves that orange net around like Sponge Bob Squarepants Jelly Fishing😂😂

incredible work ethic gives new meaning to thorough job well done!

Came across a few of those when I was visiting the mountains here, and they were ABSOLUTELY HORRIFYING. They are so big, and the sound that they make is just scary. Glad that there are operations like these to remove them.

Imagine leaving your fly open in a situation like this. Edit: seriously, just take your suit off next to the entrance of the nest?! What if some scouts or workers return and get angry?

I understand language pretty well. He was saying, "We're tagging large bees. They'll take us to the nest. I'm on a mountain with huge bees and I have balls of steel. These bees are no match for my plastic traps." Something like that.

Brilliant! Well done 👏

Fantastic job guys. My hat is off to all.

Live in Japan: I’ve seen murder hornets big enough to carry off small children. And the disposition of the f…. ers, they’re constantly pissed-off. Remind me of my wife!

wouldn't even catch me dead near that thing.

Such educative videos need English subtitles. Any way thanks for uploading.

imagine 1 hornet flies away, becomes a queen, and starts their villian arc.

*Chief Brody: "You're going to need a bigger bottle."* *P.S.: The Queen is at **5:36**.* 👍

I would love if you enabled others to translate this into different languages! It's somewhere in the video settings. Even if you add a transcript in the original language it will help. Thanks! EDIT: Your country's landscape is SO beautiful!

Holy Mother of Jesus, what the heck?? That was absoluteley riveting, mindblowing, and incredibly courageous. What an epically awesome man. Wowzers!

I didn‘t understand a word he said but was still Faszination and captivated the whole time. Amazing video

Thank you for posting this video. I had no idea they could fly against that kind of drag! You may be able to take advantage of their heat intolerance by tacking black plastic over the ground nest, and letting the sun help your work.

5:40 finds the queen

Great work my friend 🐝 👍
