We've been finding ŌSUZUMEBACHI (Asian Giant Hornets) here in the house recently, and had been getting concerned that they may be nesting in this old farm house we are renting. As such, I took to the internet, learned how to make a trap (mostly for monitoring purposes, in my case) and learned a bit about their life cycle in the process.

I think the slow, dopey ones we have been finding in the house may be either brand new workers or scouts (unlikely according to Wiki) or weak, uninseminated queens in search of nesting spots.

Anywho, in this video I will describe my experiences with the Vespa Mandarinia (beautiful name, isn't it?) and precautions that should be taken in dealing with these often "gentle" bees that can be deadly to humans in certain cases.
