@DustinB3403 read up on Japanese Giant Hornets. Nature is insane.
I was reading the other day that Japanese honey bees have an interesting defense mechanism. They just mob the hornet and start vibrating to increase the heat. The hornet has a slightly lower threshold for heat exhaustion/death then the honey bees do, so the mob heats up the hornet to the point where it has a heat stroke.
That's africanised bees I think. It's super interesting. Watched a documentary about this a few years back. Could be wrong though. Human memory etc
European honey bees! Doh!

They produce more honey but haven't evolved in the same environment as the Japanese Giant Hornet or the Japanese honey bees. So they don't have the same defense mechanism.

When we lived in Central Africa, I almost stepped on a Green Mamba, killed an Emperor Scorpion with some diesel fuel, got stung by a couple hundred bees...
I can handle pictures of creepy-crawlies. LOL

We had a couple of those get in the building like 5 years ago. I ended up being the one with a broom chasing them back out the dock door.

We've had them in the Balkans. They are surprising.

I'm surprised they didn't get more aggressive!

That is not a camel spider, it's a wind spider (and the alien facehugger, obviously).
