i think in Australia they would just be called Hornets.

Australia get your shit together, other countries are taking creatures that clearly belong to you.

truth is, once the giant hornets evolve spider legs and fangs, they will migrate to Australia to gorge on fear and chaos. HAIL SPIDRA!

I'm no beetologist, but that looked like way more than 10 bees killing that hornet.

I actually saw that documentary you posted the clip from, there were two kinds of bees involved, IIRC. I think those ones that died were 1/2

European honey bees who don't know how to kill the hornets - the Japanese honey bees (Apis cerana japonica) have them beat though.

Japanese Honey Bees can counter them since they've lived together a long time. They cook them alive by vibrating them in a big ball of bees.

Only if the hornet is lured into the hive before leaving a pheromone marker. If the hornet leaves the mark, that hive (1)
