Check out this video that my martial arts instructor found...

I have read of bees doing this but I have not seen it so this was neat to see. check it out..
The video seems to imply that only the Japanese bees do this but I thought that they all did this.  Any thoughts?

I've seen the entire show on this a couple times. Absolutely amazing!

I have never heard of this in anything but the Japenese bees.

Imagine having to hire teenage boys to walk around your beeyard to smack the giant hornets with tennis rackets.  :shock:
