This is a sincere warning: If you’re afraid of bees, wasps or hornets you might want to skip over this video.
This video of a man clearing out a shed-sized yellow jacket nest is the scariest horror movie ever
Don’t be this guy who cleared out this horrifying shed-sized yellow jacket nest.
James Dator has been covering a wide range of sports for SB Nation for over a decade, with a special focus on the NFL.
Bee enthusiast “Stinger Creations” on YouTube was tasked with removing a yellow jacket nest from a shed, and found something absolutely horrifying inside. The nest had taken over half the shed. It had engulfed tools, metal rods, even a basketball — all becoming absorbed into its mass.
At first you just see a few yellow jackets fly out to explore what’s happening — then all hell breaks loose. It’s not long before the air is so thick with the insets that they start clogging up the camera.
Nests like this can occur in the southern United States due to temperate winters. Rather than dying out like in other parts of the country, the colonies can continue to grow — allowing them to reach this size.
Your average yellow jacket next contains anywhere from a couple of hundred, to a thousand insects. It’s not outside the realm of possibility that this nest had over 100,000 workers, given the fact it had multiple queens in the nest.
The aftermath of this thing is just awful.
Be thankful this isn’t in your back yard.
