Cold War Posted May 4, 2020 Share Posted May 4, 2020 That had a pretty interesting article in Naty G last month about hornets invading Bee hives. The only defense the bees have against invaders is swarming them, holding them down, and moving their bodies violently to creates so much heat that it causes the invader to die.

Japanese honey bees have that adaptation from centuries of being molested by these pukes. Maybe they can bring over a Japanese queen for some education. Who knows, that might create more problems. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
