Full Auto Bug a salt using sea salt not the finely processed table shit. [ double O Buck vs 7 shot]

More power to you! I consider myself a lucky SOB, after dealing with these bastards. They have more then one entrance, and it's the ones returning that you have to worry about. You can observe them in wild, but if you are a threat, it's to late. No BS here!

American Honey Bees are about to get ****ED. Apparently Jap Bees will surround the Hornet Scout and Techno-rave them until it Fries. It’s their only defense.

This guy has been stung by virtually all the heavy hitters in the insect world. I believe he scored the pain right on par with a bullet ant (which is thought of as the most painful sting there is).

We could try like the British did in India by putting out a bounty for the bastards. The British wanted to thin out Cobras.
Unfortunately, Indian's started to breed them to turn in. When the Brits rescinded the bounty, the cobras released and the Cobra population boomed.

It's the Japanese honey bee that can cook them. The European bees are the ones getting decimated by them because they don't know how to do that.

I got stung by some sort of giant hornet (2-3" long) last year, was taking the trash out to the garage and one of them somehow got caught between the bottom of my foot and my flip flop. One of the worst pains I've ever felt, my foot and ankle were swollen for a week. 0/10, do not recommend

damn you’re right. It’s the Euro bees getting decimated. Jap bees are the ones that fry the hornet to death.

Hum wonder if the African (killer bees) would fair better as they are much more aggressive than their Euro versions. it takes the Euro honey bee 16-25 seconds to react when something disturbs the nest it takes the African honey bee 4 seconds!!! plus they been known to chase and harass an invader for 48 hours non stop!

It's a shame there is no way to integrate the Japanese bees into the hives of our domestic bees so that they can teach the method used to kill the Hornets like they do in Japan. Bees are extremely intelligent for an insect and supposedly even display emotions. Bees are territorial so introducing another species is impossible but if they could be tricked into accepting a number of Japanese bees it would be interesting to see if they could teach them how to fend off the hornets.
