haven't watched it yet (loading) but I'm gonna go out on a limb and just guess that the stinger has been removed and someone's playing with it?

I've done it a few times with wasps and bees. they are pretty fun to play with when they can't hurt you.

Edit:
looks like I was right. wasps are just one of those type of creature that naturally seem to not posses that "fear of man" instinct. why should they, we fear them.

Vespa_bicolor made this video, very cool!

I do not think the stinger was removed.

I do not think the stinger was removed.

in that case, he's pretty brave.

Looks like he's got some kind of reward on his finger, possibly sugar water that keeps the wasp thinking he's food and not a threat.

i can almost guarantee it is a whole and intact wasp, er hornet... er, thing. vespa loves his flying stingers as much (or more... probably more) than i love my centipedes and i would never maul my guys
