*VIDEO* Hornets vs Bees

From where I got it from...

That was amazing.
They said 30 hornets killed 30,000 bees in 3 hrs.
Thats:
1000 bees per hornet;
333 bees per hour per hornet;
5.5 bees per minute per hornet;

My brother told me those Hornets are 2 inches long, with a wing span of 3 inches. They are native to Japan. But Japan didn't have any honey bees, so they brought some European Honey Bees over. Because they never evolved together, the Bee has no natural defenses against the Hornet.
 
I watched a hornet in my backyard take down a large moth with 3 good stings before it died. He hauled the carcass off pretty fast too.

I had heard that the Japanese honey bee came up wtih a defense, which is essentially a dog pile on the scout hornet. They trap him under all the bees, then the bees start wiggling. The body heat generated by doing this reaches high enough to kill the scout.
But maybe it was a different bee form somewhere else.
