I used to run Cross Country, long distance. I ran a few half marathons when I was in my prime, about 2 years ago (before my knees went bad). This one time I was training for an upcoming race and for some reason this hornet started following me. I couldn't really outrun it, but with me moving pretty fast, and brushing it off when it tried to land, I managed to keep it from stinging me. It was 4 miles to my house from where I was in the forest, and that hornet followed me the whole way home. I managed to shut it out when I came inside, but damn, it was pretty scary.

The best way to deal with hornets is to run away from them then spin around real fast and slug em in the face. Hornets may be 5 times bigger than bees, but fists are 5 times bigger than hornets.
"To announce that there must be no criticism of the President, or that we are to stand by the President, right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public." -- Theodore Roosevelt (1918)
"The danger to political dissent is acute where the Government attempts to act under so vague a concept as the power to protect "domestic security." Given the difficulty of defining the domestic security interest, the danger of abuse in acting to protect that interest becomes apparent. --U.S. Supreme Court decision (407 U.S. 297 (1972)

I read a topic about this a few years back. The european bees only know to go one at a time against the hornets, bad mistake. The japaneese bee on the other hand knows how to deal with them. Not by stinging them to death, but by swarming them and flapping their wings to generate heat to cus the hornet's body temp to rise and kill it. That's how they deal with the hornets. It would be interesting to see the hornets go after the killer bees and watch them fight. Killer bees are bigger and more mean then the average bee. Would be interesting to see this fight. This was the japeneese hornet thou, not sure if the U.S version is as aggressive.
