I was wondering that too,seems tactics win the battle, i have witnessed red wasps and yellowjackets and hornets down south doing the same thing.Seems bees are a target for all these social wasps,but the honeybees either killed the scout,or set up partnerships with bumblebees the big black kind that bore into wood they served as,for lack of better term mercenary forces for hire.Guess american honeybees have developed tactics and associations the japanese counterparts have yet to do.tony said:Does this particular clip show what Japanese honey bees do to those Hornets? The European bees tactics pale...When a scout finds the Japanese bees, they swarm the hornet and cover it in a giant 'bee ball' raising it's temp to a lethal level, which I guess is like 3 degrees BELOW the bee's lethal temp. That way the scout never gets back to report on the location of the hive

So the bees in the video were euros from europe or the us?OK i misunderstood that they were imports.But down in mississippi the bees have definitely developed a counter ive seen that.Bumblebees drilled thier holes right by the honeybee hive and busted ass on any wasps that came near.And i've seen that swarming technique on the wasp that was mentioned.tony said:Sorry Dr..In the video imported Euro bees get their clocks cleaned by japanese hornets...On TV they showed that japanese bees of course have developed a defense against thier island bretheren
