🐝 My Pet Suzumebachi Asian Giant Hornet - Real Japan Monsters
The Asian Giant Hornet (Vespa mandarinia) is the world's largest and the most dangerous animal in Japan. These insects are called suzumebachi (sparrow bee) in Japanese and are a common sight during summer months from the high mountains to the forested edges of large cities throughout the country. The insects make their living hunting other insects and specialize in attacking honeybee colonies where they will kill all of the bees and consume the larvae. The native honeybees of Japan, however, are not without defense as they will sometimes ambush en-mass an intruding suzumebachi, covering the hornet with their own bodies. This causes the body temperature of the hornet and bees to rise, killing the hornet which has a lower maximum temperature tolerance than the bees. Imported commercial honeybees have no such defense and are easy victims to suzumebachi in Japan and other parts of Asia. (KB)
Join Kurt Bell as he navigates the ethical and philosophical dimensions of keeping such a powerful creature as a pet. What does our fascination with the Suzumebachi reveal about our quest for control in a chaotic universe? Let's ponder upon the thin line that separates fear from respect, danger from beauty.
