I was curious about this and found this YouTube video. https://youtu.be/EZ1eAM8CChc https://youtu.be/EZ1eAM8CChc 30,000 bees killed by just 30 hornets in an hour or so. The bees just have no defence against them at all. Brutal.

Also fascinating, a related video on bees killing a hornet: https://youtu.be/UNroEwFxh6I https://youtu.be/UNroEwFxh6I

  Yeah I saw this too - I guess those bees must have evolved with hornets as a predator and have developed that defence. But the bees in the west haven't and so they don't have any behaviour to help them.

    European bees being destroyed, Asian bees killing the hornet.

      Maybe we’ll have to get some Asian honey bees.
