This is Grade A nightmare fuel.
Many horror stories have been told about dangerous insects like hornets, bees, and wasps hiding in walls, attics, and trees. It is nightmare fuel. While bees may be one thing, hornets can be dangerous. They have more venom and are able to repeatedly sting victims. Imagine what it would be like to open the car door and find a large nest of hornets in the driver’s seat. They would sting you and you might also need to change your pants. You can call Travis Watson, The Bee Man, to fix the problem like a Chevy El Camino owner.
The Bee Man uploaded the video of a recent El Camino hornet nest extraction. The nest appears to have started in the car’s headliner, and then travelled down to the driver’s seat. Watson starts the removal by spraying a mixture of pesticides into the nest’s open holes. This angers the European Hornets.
Watson starts to tear down the nest, digging his gloved hands into the paper material, and then he pumps pesticides into it. The camera’s first-person view allows you to see the nest insides, as well as the hornets that are upset by an unannounced expulsion. Watson is digging at the nest and stuffing it into a small plastic bag, so you can see another bystander from a safe distance. We would be further back.
Although the European Hornet sting is not fatal, it can be very uncomfortable. They can grow to up to 2 inches in length and carry a lot of venom. These hornets don’t have the same football-shade, freely suspended nests as other species. European Hornets create nests in hollow trees or a wall, just like in your home. You can’t close the nest’s entry because the hornets may chew through the drywall and gain access to your home.
Watson takes the queen out of her nest near the end of the video. She is noticeably larger than any other worker bees that are flying around the car. Watson removes the nest and throws away the papery material unless the owner asks. They are beautiful to look at because of their intricate structure.
It doesn’t appear that the El Camino will be moving anytime soon, unless the owner plans a complete restoration. However, removing the hornets poses a safety risk. A child causing damage to the nest is not something you want.
