How much would you charge someone to remove this European hornet nest?

No fricking way I would do it. I think even with three bee suits on I would pussy out. And one SHOT venom into his eye — I’m sorry. frick THAT!

I felt things crawling on me the entire time I watched this video!

My granddad used to attack wasp nests with nothing but a broom. He gave zero fricks.

Throw some diesel on it and be done with it.

Petersburg would no longer have the largest crater in Central VA, by the time I would be done with the tree.

An old man told me he would rub his hand in his armpit. Getting the B.O. all over it (no deoderant). Pull the nest down and your ready to go fishing.

We had an elderly neighbor who became ill and eventually died. Her kids were taking poor care of the house for years before they sold it.

The new owner was rehabbing the house when he noticed a large number of bees around the garage. He pulled some of the wood siding off the house, and noticed a large beehive.

He brought in an exterminator who suggested that the owner contact a beekeeper.

The beekeeper arrived and started removing the siding. The hive took up almost the entire wall; 10 feet high by 20 feet long. The beekeeper said it was one of the largest he'd ever seen.

We watched this guy remove the hive over a period of a couple of days. No free honey was offered, though.

He's talking about a European Hornet aka Bell Hornet here. They don't make honey, they make syrup.

If you didn't like that video, then you really won't like the follow up where he shows all the larvae.

Wait a second, those things can “shoot venom” without actually stinging you?
