30 Giant Hornets vs 30,000 Honey Bees

[LoKyBuckeye]

Anyone ever see this? I saw a special on the giant hornets awhile ago on Discovery Channel, Animal Planet or one of those nature channels (can't remember which one). I hate any insects that fly... they just creep me out and this video is a good reason why.

Talk about being owned!

I saw the show it was on the National Geographic channel. Really cool show. It was about insects at war. They had stuff about the giant hornets which I believe live in Japan, giant ants, and other bugs. It was a very interesting show.

Typically in the insect world, the bigger the bee/wasp the more laid back it is!
We have Tarantula Wasps in New Mexico. Imagine how big a wasp is that makes it's living hunting tarantulas!
But, they're pretty laid back for the most part and have no interest in stinging people.

If you're into insects fighting. Grab a shovel full of fire ants from one mound, grab another from another mound, mix and watch the fun. Of course, you have to have some fire ants. That's another story...
