🐝 The Asian Giant Hornet (Vespa mandarinia) is the most dangerous animal in Japan, killing more humans each year than any other animal including sharks, bears and snakes. Watch me run away quick as these huge hornets (called Suzumebachi in Japanese) take an unwanted interest in me while I attempt to film them in a green tea field in the mountains of central Japan. I know that I am a fool...only now we have the video to prove it.
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 wasp and bees to rise, killing the wasp 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)
