00:00:00,00 --> 00:00:02,100
(Savan) appa appa i am scared appa appa

2
00:00:02,200 --> 00:00:04,000
(Dad) dont be afraid 
(Dad) Dont be afraid

3
00:00:04,100 --> 00:00:07,300
(Savan) It might come this way, i am going

4
00:00:14,100 --> 00:00:17,500
Can you see that ball like thing hanging 
on the coconut leaf?

5
00:00:17,600 --> 00:00:22,100
That is a nest of the Asian giant hornet

6
00:00:22,200 --> 00:00:25,800
We asked several people how to get rid of 
it

7
00:00:25,900 --> 00:00:29,500
and everyone suggested we spray kerosene 
and set fire to it

8
00:00:29,600 --> 00:00:33,300
Since we wanted to see how the insides of 
the nest looked

9
00:00:33,400 --> 00:00:38,900
and to show it to the kids (Savan and Ahana) 

we are going to do a little experiment to 
see

10
00:00:39,000 --> 00:00:42,700
if we can recover the nest without destroying 
it.

11
00:00:42,800 --> 00:00:47,100
We have taken a large can of insecticide 
as our weapon of choice

12
00:00:47,200 --> 00:00:52,300
we have taken a long pipe to help spray it 
from a safe distance

13
00:00:52,400 --> 00:00:56,100
First we are going to thread a plastic rope 
through the pipe

14
00:00:56,200 --> 00:01:01,000
We have tied the rope to a metal rod  
to 
send it throught the pipe

15
00:01:01,100 --> 00:01:04,900
It is not going through since the knot in 
the rope is too big

16
00:01:05,000 --> 00:01:08,500
secondly we have taken a small stone and 
placed it between the twists of the rope

17
00:01:08,600 --> 00:01:13,400
to try and slide it thorugh the pipe

18
00:01:22,900 --> 00:01:25,600
as they say third time's a charm

19
00:01:25,700 --> 00:01:32,400
we have taken this dental floss. Its thinner 
than sewing thread but it is 10 times stronger

20
00:01:40,600 --> 00:01:45,100
(Savan) we will tie the rope to the floss 
and send it in,then it will go through.

21
00:01:49,300 --> 00:01:55,300
since the button on the can is low we are 
going to place a small rock on top of it

22
00:01:55,400 --> 00:01:59,300
and secure it with tape so that we get some 
height on the button

23
00:01:59,400 --> 00:02:08,100
now we will place the insectide bottle on 
the pipe 
and secure it firmly with tape

24
00:02:18,400 --> 00:02:24,500
the rope will go over the button through 
the pipe 
and come out the other so that

25
00:02:24,600 --> 00:02:27,400
if we pull on the rope it should..

26
00:02:27,500 --> 00:02:32,300
savan gently pull on the rope once more

27
00:02:32,400 --> 00:02:37,200
ha haa... ready

28
00:02:37,300 --> 00:02:42,100
(Ahana) can i also come?
(Dad) Yes , Come

29
00:02:42,200 --> 00:02:47,000
(Ayana Sayan) what a big nest!

30
00:02:49,600 --> 00:02:53,200
(Ayana Sayan) Dont you have to pull? Who 
will pull on it. Can you do it by yourself?

31
00:02:53,300 --> 00:02:55,600
Will something happen to you ?? There is 
the possiblity that something might happen 
to me.

32
00:02:55,700 --> 00:02:58,600
(Ayana Sayan) What?

33
00:02:58,700 --> 00:03:01,000
Inorder for the hornets that have gone out 
now to come back

34
00:03:01,100 --> 00:03:05,900
and also to reduce the risk of an attack, 
we decided to wait till night-time.

35
00:03:31,900 --> 00:03:34,200
(Savan) Appa!! 
(Dad) Dont be afraid

36
00:03:36,400 --> 00:03:39,000
(Savan) Shall i go?
(Dad) Dont go!

37
00:03:39,100 --> 00:03:41,300
(Savan) Dont go?
(Savan) appa appa i am scared

38
00:03:41,400 --> 00:03:44,300
(Dad) dont be afraid 
(Dad) Dont be afraid

39
00:03:44,400 --> 00:03:46,400
(Savan) It might come this way, i am going

40
00:03:46,500 --> 00:03:48,100
(Dad) Ok then Go

41
00:03:48,200 --> 00:04:00,100


42
00:04:00,200 --> 00:04:05,600
(The Next Day)

43
00:04:05,700 --> 00:04:08,700
(Savan) I was standing here yesterday

44
00:04:09,800 --> 00:04:11,600
(Ayana Sayan) Look Sayan one is lying here!

45
00:04:11,700 --> 00:04:15,200
(Savan) Not just one, look there are four 
here.

46
00:04:16,900 --> 00:04:19,500
(Ayana Sayan) Is there anything inside?

47
00:04:33,400 --> 00:04:36,300
(Ayana Sayan) Sayan come shoot i want to 
do it

48
00:04:36,400 --> 00:04:39,700
(Sayan) Do you really want to?
(Ayana Sayan) 
Hmm (yes)

49
00:04:49,800 --> 00:04:55,600
Savan - One is flying around. could that 
be the queen?

50
00:05:01,300 --> 00:05:09,200
We expected to get it in one piece but the 
outer covering broke open when it fell.

51
00:05:10,100 --> 00:05:16,000
The cells are hexagon shaped like honey combs
but 
it is not made of wax

52
00:05:16,100 --> 00:05:20,900
they have made a paper like pulp by grinding 
wood to make the nest

53
00:05:30,100 --> 00:05:32,700
since we didnt use fire to destroy it

54
00:05:32,800 --> 00:05:37,600
we were able to see the unhatched eggs and 
all the different stages of its development

55
00:06:00,800 --> 00:06:10,200
The next batch which had completed its growth 
and was ready to hatch was also present in 
the nest

56
00:06:20,800 --> 00:06:25,300
