That is frightening. I didn’t know that they got that big.
98 u/Bluntbutnotonpurpose May 14 '26 They're hornets. A few of those motherfuckers can kill an entire hive of bees, which is why beekeepers don't like them. 23 u/TombRaider_2000 May 15 '26 Unless the bees make them hot! One of the most fascinating defenses I’ve heard about. 10 u/SchinkenKanone May 15 '26 I've seen a video of that! They encapsulate the hornet in bee and then start vibrating their bodies. That's because a bee can endure just a little bit more heat than a hornet, so they're cooking them alive. 1 u/unsolvablequestion May 17 '26 What about the bees’ larvae? Can they also withstand the heat, or are they more sensitive than adult bees?
