My husband calls me the Queen Bee. He also destroys any hornets' and wasps' nests he finds. I had no idea how destructive hornet are.

What chance does a honey bee even have against such a mighty predator?
30,000 bees....problem is...their focus is on saving the queen and not each other. They never care about each other. They know they are expendible. (well, it's instinctual; I don't know if bees can really "know" anything!)
Those hornets are very much like the psychopaths that are running our world system.
There are many types of bees who do not colonize. (the European honey bee is a hybrid.)
Because 'natural' wild bees are independent, they are not so much a target.
Let that be a lesson! Contrary to popular belief, there is not always safety in numbers. There are times when being in the crowd can be more dangerous and make you a sitting duck.
When danger comes, it is best to go into your "inner sanctum" and close the door.
Comprende?

Wow! I had no idea.... I always thought hornets were so cute! They'd visit our campsites (far from any beehives, by the way) and slice off pieces of my hubby's scrambled eggs, his sausage, fall into his orange juice (we'd have to fish them out) and never stung us...
Wonder how the hornets would do against African - or Africanized - honey bees??? Maybe we have a solution to the slow northward migration of those ferocious bees?? Since our European honey bees (hybrid?? I didn't know that!) are slowly dying out/going extinct here in North America - I've often wondered whether those vicious Africanized bees would actually turn out to be a godsend in disguise??? Zid
