Um, I already said it hurts. Really bad.

I actually heard about hornets in Japan, but never had i thought they were that viscous. I one my friends dad mentioned that not even a pray mantas can stand up to one of those. But 30,000 bees killed, I don't even know if those hornets are natural.

WOW

MAN was that real?!!! Those Hornets just schooled the living hell out of those bees. 30,000 vs 30 and still losing is humilating but than again they were honey bees. I'd like to see 30 of them Hornets take on 15,000 tarantulas and 15,000 scorpions combined.
Let's who would BEE laughing after that! But as far as the video...........W O W.

Godzilla Wrote: That was just ****ing amazing. Those hornets sure kicked alot of honey bee ass. For a rematch, who'd win in a fight between those same hornets, and 30,000 killer bees?

I could be wrong but I dont think killer bees are physically stronger then the bees in the movie, just more aggresive. Any awesome movie, feel bad for the bees. Japanese hornets maybe badass, but praying mantis are super thugs. No way can a hornet take a mantis.

it was almost like the lotr battles, lol

ShoeUnited Wrote: I don't particularly feel sorry for the bees in this instance because Japan got introduced to hornets a few years back and the bees weren't used to them in the eco system. I remember reading that the bees actually figured out a way to kill the hornets. Once one gets in the hive they all vibrate their wings. The tempurature around the hornet to something like 110 degrees farenheit but the bees could survive up to 118. So the bees would cook the hornet alive. Wild stuff. And they say that other animals can't learn. -Shoe

Japanese honeybees do that as a defense. They can detect the secretion the hornet leaves no their nest, and when it comes back with its herd the bees are ready. The bees in the video were European honeybees I think, that didn't have any defense.

That's my point. African (killer) bees are about 50 times more aggressive than Europeon bees, and they can sting more than once. The slightest threat will send the entire hive after the hornets, and you saw the movie. It took the Europeon bees a few minutes to counterattack, while killer bees go ****ing crazy if you look at them wrong.
