RE: 30 Hornets VS 30,000 Bees (video)

I've actually seen this hornet in person. Native to Japan. It's HUGE. (Vespa mandarina japonica). They are 2"-2.75" And they can wipe out an entire colony of bees in short order. These hornets are so massive, that they actually catch one, put a streamer on it and release it. They are then able to follow the flying streamer to see where the nest is so they can be controlled and prevented from wiping out the bee colony. But the bees have a REALLY cool defense, and frequently prevent the destruction of the colony. The hornets sends a scout to the hive before an attack. When the scout enters the hive, a cluster of bees (300-400 of them) form around the intruder. The heat around the hornet rise to 116 degrees rapidly and kills it. The honey bee can withstand 118 degrees. These hornets kill 40 people per year too.

Seems like you might have another problem there ::nono::


Gotta love italics. BOLD can be fun too if you set your mind to it.

Locally, they found a yellow jacket nest in the bedroom of a vacant mobile home. The nest was 5' x 6' x 10'.

That link is still not working. Can you post it another way or something? I'm very curious.

That's freakin' NASTY!!! I almost wish I didn't watch it. Thanks though. Wouldn't want to get stung by one of those suckers. We just started getting these paper wasps around here that are like 1.5 inches long and damn scary.
