I though it was about 30 F-18 Hornets killing 30 000 bees... Confused

My dad used to do beekeeping as a hobby, and I have witnessed this exact thing happen, except it was more like 100 hornets. We had to just burn the hive because by the time we found it, the hornets had killed all the bees including the queen. We just torched it and ran...the suits we wore to protect us from honebee stings are no match for hornets...those damn things can sting through a few layers of bluejeans Sad

Have a bee problem? All you need is a handful of hornets to get rid of that pesky bee hive. Then just use a can of Raid on the victorious hornets. Razz

Hornets are nothing to mess around with. I've never seen anything so aggressive. They will chase you for over a mile, I know from experience. I've never been stung by one, but my friends and family have and unlike a beesting they draw blood, and unlike a honeybee they can sting you as many times as they want without dying. It would take a huge sum of money for me to attack a hornet nest with a can of RAID, maybe I would with a flamethrower Smile ...they are the meanest insects I know of.

Bah, just give me a needle and I'll stab that mother fucker through the abdomen and hang him up on the wall. I'll let him starve for a few days before systematically disecting him while keeping him alive long enough to watch his own heart stop beating, all while his wife and children are watching. :twisted: :twisted: :twisted:

Indeed they can. I heard ( :rolleyes: like I am gonna do this :rolleyes: ) that you're suposed to lie down on the ground and stay absolutely still. You're suposed to let them examine you and crawl all over you. YEAH RIGHT! I am gonna take my chances running! My friend was hiking through the woods with my other friend and he practicaly stepped in one of those underground hives, you know? He had---I don't know how many---stings. Man his hands were all swolen and his whole body was covered with stings! Shocked Shocked Shocked Shocked Shocked Shocked Shocked Shocked Shocked Shocked As for the video... it was neat but not appealing. :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes:


When in battle, ALWAYS watch your back... so I can hit you from the front! GOD BLESS THIS NATION!!!

Meh, those were just some sissy pansy European bees. Lets see some African Killer Bees versus some 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)

Wouldn't matter. Honeybees, africanized or not, die when they sting (unless its something really really soft). The hornets can sting as many times as they want. But actually in this sort of battle, they don't even sting the other bees, the hornets are huge in comparison and with their large mandibles they simply bite the honeybees in half, which they can literally do all day long. I have actually dealt with some africanized bees, and while they were certainly aggressive (they were literally bouncing themselves off of my veil), I don't think that would let them win a battle against hornets, because pretty much everytime they get close to one to try and sting it, it just grabs him and bites his head off Smile

Heh I don't think it would matter if you had africanized hornets...I think they are allready as aggressive as you can get. I witnessed someone shoot a hornets nest with a rifle, and they made a beeline (no pun intended) straight for him, even though he got quite a headstart, they still chased him down and caught him before he could get to his house. I'm pretty comfortable around honeybees, but wasps and hornets make me nervous, because you never know what they are going to do.

The spiders would lose...there are many spider wasps who actually hunt spiders. The smaller ones they sting and drag back home to lay eggs on and their larvae eat the paralyzed spider. Or the large spiders they just lay their eggs on them, and the larvae later hatch and just start eating the poor spider alive :rolleyes:

My co-workers at my work run a honey bee buisness. We literally have thousands upon thousands of bee's in the back of the work. Id hate to see one set of hornets (which we also have a lot of around the building) take them all out. Then bee's can be expensive to buy.

I remember maybe when I was about 12 or so my father and I attacked a thing of hornets with multiple bottle of poison. Boy, talk about scary stuff. I can still remember my father spraying one clump of them, then they all (like about 100) come flying at him and him just doing commando rolls all the way into the pool. Ahh, hornets dont get along too well with water by the way. Lets just say we both learned our lesson that day. SCREW POISON USE A HIGH POWER HOSED then step on them all. Good times.

Blazer, about African bees versus hornets:

In this video, the bees really didn't seem to be fighting back against the hornets all that much, whereas African bees would probably launch themselves at the hornets, if what I know about them is correct. Even though hornets can bite the bees, a mass of bee stings would probably kill them [the hornets].

EDIT: Spelling

Yeah in that particular video, those honeybees didn't seem to be fighting back much at all. I'm pretty sure there was something wrong with that hive, they should have been way more pissed than that.
