Yellow hornet vs Japanese honeybees in Super Slow Motion
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 1 окт 2024
- The yellow hornet is a smaller species of hornet found in Japan. It moves quickly and captures honeybees one by one. Mr. Hirai shot a super slow-motion video that shows the yellow hornet attacking Japanese honeybees.

That passive dive was like a basketball player I know of.
The King of Flop! XD
BeeBron? LeBeeron?
How does a yellow hornets attack on a Japanese bee hive effect LeBrons basketball career?
Gay
Like Kobe in a copter?
Japanese honey bees lure in the hornet and they attack it by forming a hot defensive bee ball that makes the wasp barbecued alive
That’s for the Giant Hornet and not Yellow Hornet. Giant Hornets try to invade the nest to steal honey and eat the larvae. They kill all the adults bees that stand in their way. They don’t eat them.
Yellow Hornets don’t invade. They pick off single adult bee and capture them to eat at their nest.
Somewhere I once saw that during a hornet attack the bees pounce on the hornet and besiege it en masse. Due to the high temperature inside the hornet dies eventually and also a few bees.
Rest in bees
There's video of a Japanese Giant Hornet being swarmed and killed by the heat ball.
Its true
outstanding video!
Very nice
What's the big deal with the secret camera equipment?
Love the spaghetti western theme music.
Crazy that when I get near the hive at my house all those little fuckers Kamakaze my ass and I'm like 100000x bigger than them but here is a bug just a bit bigger than them and they're all scared.
Bros ragdoll when in danger.
like they took a 45 from Agent 47
Galaga at a new level.
It would make a nice supplement to this great video, if someone off to the side had one of those super accurate Benjamin Sheridan pellet rifles, then you could include slow motion footage of the hornet being disintegrated in mid air.
Amazing footage to see this hidden world
Thank you and the cameraman for sharing your work

Wile E Coyote must have done real damage to my brain, seeing the bees drop immediately when they stop beating their wings seems too quick.
Why don't they roast it like they roast a giant hornet?
Sometimes they do, but it’s not possible when the hornet is flying.
If I had to guess, the swarm tactic's usually reserved for if the hornet attacks and straight up kills the bee on the spot, which triggers a dogpile from the other bees. By doing a live capture instead, carrying off the bee out of range, and then killing it far away from the rest, the hornet might be able to avoid getting marked.
At least from what I saw, the hornet looked overly careful about not harming the bee it grabbed. I don't know if I'd call it being smart though; if the hornets trained to kill on sight aren't coming back to the nest, they'd eventually get filtered out, I guess.
Why does the equipment need to be blocked out?
may have to be due to copyrights of the equipment.
I have only heard of Japanese bees shaking to ward off predators, but I've never heard of any other type of bee doing that. The first time I saw it on a program there was a hive of Japanese bees dealing with a giant hornet. I don't think other bees do this.
Маю - красотка, сними эту дурацкую маску!
Vespa simillima = yellow hornet
'DO A BARREL ROLL!"
So what is the solution? How do deal w hornets
I have never seen the behavior of bees falling over and apparently dying without being touched. Are they faking or actually dying? What is the mechanism? Why is it done? It must be a benefit somehow. Insects don't just die of fright. I see nothing in comments about it.
Wow, *amazing* footage!
Amazing!
The bees will fight and kill a Giant Hornet but not a little yellow hornet?
Sorry to say this but bees don't have 100% defense against giant hornet too. To kill a hornet, they usually lures the hornet near the hive which isn't the case in this video.
Why keep the filming equipment hidden? That’s rather silly.
It looks custom made.
@@thelastdefenderofcamelot5623 But why hide it?
❤😂🎉
Take a badminton racket and a hornet film it at high speed, smash the hornet to a wall. Gurantee 1M+ views.
The enemy are nasty yellowjackets, hornets, wasps - bleech!!!!! Bees don't bother me if I don't bother them.
super kewl
Boosting for the algorithm 🙌 Love your work, keep it up! 🌻🐝
What an incredible capture of Japanese honey bees defensive action.
This video is magnificent! I don't only talk about the video material itself which is better than any helicopter battle in Airwolf, but I love that you don't take sides like the "good" bees and the "evil" hornet. You just tell it like it is. Sometimes the hornet gets lucky, sometimes the bees get lucky. And overall it is a working system which balances itself out. That's exactly the way it should be made.
Agree on the first part, but keep in mind that is not a working self-balancing system. Without the bee-protecting human there wouldn‘t be any bees left. Hornets have also other food resources.
@@tobiasurban8065 That is of course true for most of the domestic animals. But they would not vanish completely. They would be decimated and mix with close wild relatives.
@@paulrandig Yes, that could be. In some cases, a new balance would be established, in others not - based on whether there is enough time to adapt and other environmental factors.
@tobiasurban8065
Thats not true. These bees are native to the area and evolved with both yellow hornets and their bigger scarier cousins, the giant hornets. They have defense mechanisms, its Western honeybees that dont. And a hornet picking off some individual bees isnt going to bother the hive. Think of each bee like cells in a body.
Even the Giant hornet only attacks weak hives en masse. The native Japanese bees belonging to a healthy hive are able to stop a couple scouts with their defense mechanisms. You just cant keep Apis mellifera (Western honeybee) easily there as they have no defenses against Japanese hornets. Apis cerana japonica (the Eastern honeybee, Japanese subspecies) evolved there and so left to its own devices in the wild would live in balance with the hornets. Some colonies would be predated, some wouldnt. They wouldnt be wiped out. Domesticated bees are helped along by humans of course.
Spectacular as spectator dues audio my birthday suit
Why is the camera covered? Is there some law in Japan that you can show the camara cuz of brand risk or something like that…?
I think they’ve made their mark with exclusive camera method that they don’t want to share. It’s specific to their brand, I am assuming. I thought the same thing initially.
I'd rather see the bees dispatching a hornet.
is there a playlist of ones w/out the narrator
I was hoping to see the bees kill the hornet
That yellow hornet is the star. The Patrick Star of yellow hornets.
neat!
Why do they keep the camera a secret?
the way it looks over 4:37
The bees should gang up on it and take out that hornet!
Impressive video work
increditble footage
Very interesting video! I loved it.
4:14 Incredible footage
DEJA VU I have been in this place before-
how do hornets kill that many bees? They carry only this much poison
By using jaws to kill and not the sting.
Persistence
What happens after the honey grabs a bee?
The hornet kills the bee.
@@insideoutsideupsidedown2218 I got that part…how? Stinging? Eating? Sucking their guts out? Do they recognize the honey bee as a food source? Are they looking for the honey,which they can’t get anyway? Is it simply a predatory act? Thanks for being kind and enlightening a stoopid person…
@@thechariotcard
The bees are either stung and killed or eaten, as wasps have mandibles capable of very easily picking apart other insects.
They hold them for ransom. Or brainwash them into becoming a hornet.
@@thechariotcard Not a stupid question, and I don't know much about yellow hornets, but most hornets doesn't eat bees. Not the adults, anyway. Most adult species of hornets are nectarivore, meaning they eat nectar or their sub products like honey. You can sometimes see hornets sucking fruits but they generally don't eat bees, they just kill the bees to feed their larvae.
And answering your question, hornets rarely use their stings in bees. Their venom is physiologically expensive to produce, and there is no need to spend something so valuable in a bee. After the bee is captured, it can be easily killed with a bite on the neck, from the hornet's powerful mandible. Actually the hornet's big head is that big, not because of brains inside the head, but because it has big muscles under it's chitinous exoskeleton.
What happens when you put fake dummy bees around the nest? Say like using wallpaper stickers or plastic dummy types?
Good morning, hello! 🙂 These yellow hornets ( Vespa Simillima ) seem like European Hornets ( Vespa Crabro ) , you can understand ( impersonal verb ) aboveall that they are Yellow ones by their way of attacking! They are amazing! Great! A little question : Vespa Velutina has arrived at your zone? Thank you very much! My best regards! 😉
till now not in Japan, but Korea
Vespa velutina has arrivederci in Japan 4, 5 years ago and is spreading all over tha Japan, instradamento of Vespa simillima non more rare to find

Goofy ahh bugs
You sacrifice bees for videos like these .. come on
There literally thousands of them and even more hatching out
Good day to you.
If put a small amount of borx in a can of soda with a small stick. The hornets will drink the soda and die in a few days but show the rest of the hive the soda. The bees don't like the soda, so the bees are unharmed. They can go and make sweet honey.
Where is Mayu located? I would like to go visit her?
bruh
@@TheBucketSkill4real, The weirdo's on the Internet. Smh. 🤦🏿♂️
Build a wire mesh containment bubble around the hive with the openings large enough to let bees IN but keep the hornets OUT.
