"What of putting a bounty on the hornets" the market value for a fresh dead hornet is 50 satang (about 1.5 cents) since the venom is believed to have health properties. Some of the locals will take a hornets nest since the larvae are considered good food. But other locals leave them alone believing that the presence of hornets on a property is a sign of good luck. I really would prefer to trap them though since the sting is said to be much worse then that of a bee and you do not get just one sting you get many.
