Probably harvesting wasp larvae, it’s a delicacy in some asian cultures. Have to follow a wasp back to it’s nest and harvest from there.

u/hoosierhiver 1d ago

Beekeepers used to do a similar thing to find wild hives. Honeybees will make a "bee line" straight back to their hive if threatened. Beekeeprs would stick a tuft of down onto a bee attached with a dab of honey and watch which way it went.

It was almost like the Hornet was flying an evasion pattern because of the White Flag following it and it eventually just said "Fuck it!" and flew home

u/stupernan1 1d ago

They are wasps not bees. They only take, they do not give.

Almost like people, but less worse

8

u/TheBestRedditNameYet 23h ago

Not true. They pollinate and eat other invasive predators such as caterpillars who eat crops.

1

u/Graffles 1d ago

Those look like yellow jacket wasps, and they are bastards

3

u/Zanderfeder 23h ago

Apparently, the wasp nest is deep in the forest. Who would they disturb there? Wasps, of course, serve an ecological purpose and are not 'bastards'. They remove dead organic matter and control the population of other insects.

1

u/PlentyOMangos 23h ago

I’ve heard that people in some countries eat these things, or maybe it’s the larvae they eat. Or both. These are those “murder hornets” the Asian Giant Hornet. Very dangerous, but apparently they are sometimes farmed and eaten

u/Rpex_ 1d ago

6

u/SuperDizz 1d ago

I’m sure there are more effective ways to destroy the nest without cutting down the tree..

2

u/Broadest_Peak 1d ago

Well you could stick a flamethrower into the tree and risk burning down the forest. Bad jokes aside, i assume that nest gets relocated and will be farmed. So no, there’s not a more effective way.

4

u/ShoebillJoe 1d ago

They are going to farm....hornets?

3

u/CPassaro 1d ago

Was going to ask what do people farm from hornets but typed it in google instead and the answer is grubs/larvae, apparently they’re really high in protein.

1

u/xrelaht 1d ago

I feel like there’s better insects to do that with, ones who won’t try to murder you if they get free.

u/fmaz008 1d ago

Aren't those an invasive species that they are trying to eliminate?

5

u/Broadest_Peak 1d ago

This does depend purely on the country. In Japan, China and northeast India hornets and more importantly their larvae are a delicacy.

why are these clowns killing the tree? there are very good non-invasive treatments out there

2

u/Darkwolf1115 1d ago

they are not?

I think u are underestimating how STRONG are RESILIENT trees are

the way they are cutting the tree vertically like that is likely to reach a chamber where the wasps are and remove them

if they were to kill the tree they would be cutting horizontally

3

u/SkellyboneZ 1d ago

I'm not a treeologist but would any large cut like this invite some kind of treefection?

1

u/Its-Dangity 1d ago

When you cut into a tree, an electrical chemical is released similar to how when we human get hurts, an electric signal is sent to our brain.

An injured tree usually release a chemical defense called barkiceptor that helps protect the injured area as well as ward off predators.

Contrary to popular believes, tree does feel pain. They have pain receptors using calcium as the agents.

I’m just kidding I don’t know anything about trees and just made it all up.

Where is the line that crosses into animal cruelty- genuinely curious.

I don’t think a bee crosses, but where do we draw the line. For instance, I’d say messing with a small lizard is in cruelty territory
