00:02.2
00:04.0
(Dad) dont be afraid
(Dad) Dont be afraid
00:04.1
00:07.3
(Savan) It might come this way, i am going
00:14.1
00:17.5
Can you see that ball like thing hanging on the coconut leaf?
00:17.6
00:22.1
That is a nest of the Asian giant hornet
00:22.2
00:25.8
We asked several people how to get rid of it
00:25.9
00:29.5
and everyone suggested we spray kerosene and set fire to it
00:29.6
00:33.3
Since we wanted to see how the insides of the nest looked
00:33.4
00:38.9
and to show it to the kids (Savan and Ahana)
we are going to do a little experiment to see
00:39.0
00:42.7
if we can recover the nest without destroying it.
00:42.8
00:47.1
We have taken a large can of insecticide as our weapon of choice
00:47.2
00:52.3
we have taken a long pipe to help spray it from a safe distance
00:52.4
00:56.1
First we are going to thread a plastic rope through the pipe
00:56.2
01:01.0
We have tied the rope to a metal rod
to send it throught the pipe
01:01.1
01:04.9
It is not going through since the knot in the rope is too big
01:05.0
01:08.5
secondly we have taken a small stone and placed it between the twists of the rope
01:08.6
01:13.4
to try and slide it thorugh the pipe
01:22.9
01:25.6
as they say third time's a charm
01:25.7
01:32.4
we have taken this dental floss. Its thinner than sewing thread but it is 10 times stronger
01:40.6
01:45.1
(Savan) we will tie the rope to the floss and send it in,then it will go through.
01:49.3
01:55.3
since the button on the can is low we are going to place a small rock on top of it
01:55.4
01:59.3
and secure it with tape so that we get some height on the button
01:59.4
02:08.1
now we will place the insectide bottle on the pipe
and secure it firmly with tape
02:18.4
02:24.5
the rope will go over the button through the pipe
and come out the other so that
02:24.6
02:27.4
if we pull on the rope it should..
02:27.5
02:32.3
savan gently pull on the rope once more
02:32.4
02:37.2
ha haa... ready
02:37.3
02:42.1

(Dad) Yes , Come
02:42.2
02:47.0
(Ayana Sayan) what a big nest!
02:49.6
02:53.2
(Ayana Sayan) Dont you have to pull? Who will pull on it. Can you do it by yourself?
02:53.3
02:55.6
Will something happen to you ?? There is the possiblity that something might happen to me.
02:55.7
02:58.6
(Ayana Sayan) What?
02:58.7
03:01.0
Inorder for the hornets that have gone out now to come back
03:01.1
03:05.9
and also to reduce the risk of an attack, we decided to wait till night-time.
03:31.9
03:34.2

04:11.7
04:15.2

04:16.9
04:19.5
(Ayana Sayan) Is there anything inside?
04:33.4
04:36.3
(Ayana Sayan) Sayan come shoot i want to do it
04:36.4
04:39.7
(Sayan) Do you really want to?
(Ayana Sayan) Hmm (yes)
04:49.8
04:55.6
Savan - One is flying around. could that be the queen?
05:01.3
05:09.2
We expected to get it in one piece but the outer covering broke open when it fell.
05:10.1
05:16.0
The cells are hexagon shaped like honey combs
but it is not made of wax
05:16.1
05:20.9
they have made a paper like pulp by grinding wood to make the nest
05:30.1
05:32.7
since we didnt use fire to destroy it
05:32.8
05:37.6
we were able to see the unhatched eggs and all the different stages of its development
06:00.8
06:10.2
The next batch which had completed its growth and was ready to hatch was also present in the nest
06:20.8
