Aug 31, 2009 · Has anyone tested the bee suits with bald face/white faced hornets, the ones that build those big conical grey enlarging as the season progresses paper nests. We were kind of joking in chat this evening about putting a suit on and ripping in to hornets nest for an authentic test of hornet stingproof or not stingproof.

Sep 16, 2024 · A few Bald-faced, Yellow Jackets and European hornets do little harm to healthy colonies. They can smell distress, though, so if a colony is dying…sick and/or Queenless…they’ll be there in a heartbeat. Now Yellow-Legged and Giant Asian Hornets are a whole different kettle of fish altogether.

Aug 15, 2013 · 2 cups sugar, 2 cups water, 1/2 cup white distilled vinegar, 3-4 slices of banana peel about an inch wide or more and a few drops of dish soap. The hornets are attracted to it and the honey bees don't bother it at all. Good luck.

Aug 25, 2009 · Can Hornets wipe out a strong hive (50,000+) bees. Yellow jackets are not a problem, but the Hornets are. Do the Yellow Jacket traps work well with Hornets -- If I put these traps up, how often do I need to visit the bee yards.

Jul 30, 2007 · Everytime I've seen bald faced hornets nests, they are all stuck together in the eve of a building. Is there anyway to relocate them when built like this? Could you tear the nest down, and get them to abandon it and then vacuum the hornets and move them somewhere else? How about if you approached it much like a honey bee cutout. 1. Vacuum up ...

May 10, 2004 · I do enjoy watching the bald-faced hornets hunting for cabbage worms. They kind-of hover around the broccoli/cabbage like Apache helicopters. Sometimes I even make the "whump-whump" helicopter sounds when watching them! I haven't seen them eating them, though. And they don't make a significant dent in the worm population (at least not enough!).

Jul 3, 2010 · if you've never fooled with hornets, they attack enmass and will sting right through a bee suit-each hornet multiple times. things can get ugly real quick. even spraying them can get dicey. suit up,be carefull, and be prepared. good luck,mike P.S. sorry for the repeat post-i'm a 1 finger typist on dial up and people get ahead of me.

Sep 1, 2020 · But today is a newish one. I have a public feeder located some ways away from my hive, and I've had yellow jackets and bald faced hornets etc around it the whole time. However, today I've noticed the bald faced hornets getting extra aggressive and attacking the honey bees. They're grabbing them both at the feeder and mid flight.

Jul 12, 2013 · I started a blog here tonight, about screen size for screening hive entrances, to see is there may be a consensus on the largest size hole that European Hornets can't get through. (I'm not quitting over this. No way.) The bee know-it-all books seem to think only Japanese or Giant hornets kill this way: a whole hive every night by a massive attack.

Jul 19, 2008 · Identified "European Hornets" I caught two of the hornets today, I think I have identified them as European Hornets. They are still eating honeybees. I will be looking for the nest this week. I can't get a decent picture from the digital camera I have but,this is the best I could do. Here is a picture of them.
