Props to the bee that was holding the camera to film all the other bees 🐝 🐝 🐝
LMAO, smart bee too, always have evidence to take with you to the court.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
The big insect is not a bee it's a giant Japanese hornet!
Props to it as the camera didn't buzz once
as a beekeeper there is nothing that makes me more happy than bees defending themselves
Then, as a beekeeper what about the males that are killed for impregnation of the queen?
@@Andrew-yf3lu the males are killed by the bees themselves,and it goes this way.As a beekeeper,you should feel happy 😊
If Japanese bees were put with European bees, it would be so cool if they taught how to defend, instead of going attack mode straight away
Also, fuck wasps. Anything that kills them is okay on my book. I've been thinking about figuring out what eaten the particular variety near my home and purchasing some of whatever it is to let loose.
@@sammehlberg6664
Oh shut up. Wasps are a very important part of the ecosystem. They are more important than you, they contribute more to the local environment than you do. So just stop being a whiny little 🐕 and deal with some stings that hardly even hurt (I'm assuming you hate wasps because you got stung once or twice, boo hoo, so tragic, how did you survive such a serious injury? Lmao)
Don't try to introduce new species into an area, humans have done that in the past and it didn't go well. If what you want to buy was meant to live where you do, then they would have existed there in the first place.
"It's the signal the others have been waiting for" This was epic!

Then they give the giant, "the bum's rush!"
“Alright fellas, LET’S GET HIM! ALL OUT ATTACK!”
If the bees didn't evolve alongside the giant hornets, how do they know to use a beeball to roast a giant hornet scout?
@@gooberclown
Japanese honeybees did evolve alongside giant hornets, allowing them to defend against their attacks, but European honeybees did not.
It's amazing just how the bees developed the hornet roasting system
Evolution is a hell of a development program.
I'm skeptical. I would think that the hornet's body temperature rises more within a few minutes in the sun. I speculate that the bees sting the hornet.

I'm not even scared when there on screen
But u see them so much closer up tho ahh
We are also so much more tolerable humans when all we do is watch them on a screen...
This way we won't half to worry about them stinging us.
Wow at 13:18 the honey bees literally carried an injured bee back into the nest. That's awesome.

46 degrees celsius is close to what my graphics card was at while watching this video lol sheesh. That thing got roasted.
When he bit one of them they all realized
Reminds me of when i stepped in a fire ant mound after driving over it and parking over it.. I stepped outof jeep into a angry fire ant mound my left leg got bit over 100 times at the same time.. I was heading to concert but had to immediately go home while entire body started itching so i took alot of Benadryl drank over gallon of water passed out for 24-48 hours and woke up like nothing happened. Thank you Benadryl.. That stuff literally saved me
Respect to the bee who gave his life for the better of his hive.

That's on purpose, they're not really like that. For a start a Hornet Queen would not fly into a nest which was not her own, that's not even a female lol.

Hornets are even more impressive if you see them in person, you never expect how big they are.
I saw one after it got hit by the blade of our ceiling fan,it was fun 😂
Yeah the European hornets are huge. But they call them gentle giants. I'm generally able to pick one up and move it. I've also saved one with sugar water.
@@lordfatcock I was surprised how gentle they are. Wasps are much more annoying. Now I know they actually eat them, I think we will be great friends.
Have you seen them in person? Where? Im Japanese living in Japan and these aren’t impressive. These are deadly. People die here every year from this creature. If you have seen them in person you would know all you would see is a brown bird like creature with very loud buzzing. It’s so loud you can’t talk to others or hear what they say. I wish westerners stop calling these hornets. These are called sparrow bees and a giant one is called Japanese giant sparrow bees. The reason is from 10 m a way it looks like a flying sparrow. Japanese name is literally スズメばち 雀蜂, Suzume Bachi where Suzume is sparrow and Bachi is derived of hachi meaning bees. I came to know westerners are calling these killer hornets. These aren’t called killer hornets in Japan. I mean it has a place in the ecosystem in Japan. They consume large amount of pests that are damaging to forests and even crops. Only reason these should be eliminated is to protect Japanese bees in Japan as they’re becoming extinct now. And these sparrow bees especially giant ones destroy the beehives of Japanese bees.
When I saw it for the first time, I yelled and stomped it.
Hornet enters nest and attacks one bee
The rest of the bees: YOU HAVE ALERTED THE HORDE!
camerman is under rated he got inside the bee hives just to film stuff lol
This has the makings of any great drama story. War, Horror, Death, Sacrifice, Spoils, Life, Allegiance, Betrayal. It's great. 👍👍
03:32, Wao, didn't expect the Buddha bees to be so smart and tactical in dealing with the giant hornet. The European bees got massacred instead. Screw giant hornets and I'm rooting for the bees.
There may have been more off camera, but I only saw three dead bees, shows how effective they are at stopping the hornets.
The bees where like.
You touch one of us you touch all of us.
Too bad they didn't figure to jump him immediately!
th-cam.com/video/AmJXZ4w4UgE/w-d-xo.html
Fascinating but brutal. The narration was excellent, sounded like Cate Blanchett.
Up to 70 people a year killed in Japan by these hornets?! Wow that's scary.
According by Wikipedia that’s not true. “Since 2001, the yearly human death toll caused by stings of bees, wasps and hornets in Japan has been ranging between 12 and 26.[65] Since this number also includes deaths caused by bees, wasps, and other hornet species, the number of deaths caused by Asian giant hornets is likely to be much lower.”
th-cam.com/video/AmJXZ4w4UgE/w-d-xo.html
And twenty thousand people killed by people.
@@pansepot1490 wikipedia is not a reliable source.
I thought it was 17
It's really cool of the bee keepers to allow them to film this. Especially the hive that was killed.
Well, the BBC has a taste for not only hurting animals but children as well.
3:51 wow! Even with a monster in their hive bees still treat it with respect until they have to defend themselves! I love bees!
The last one was just full emotions 😭
The cinematography on this is immaculate.
Is that wagner im hearing? Geez

Sounds like the women who gives agent 47 hitman his missions.
LOL it really does
I was just thinking that lol. “Well done, 47.”
Or an Elf from LOTR 😂
"the hornets were sending chemicals to signal that weird egg shaped object they found , little did they know , it wasn't an egg, it was the head of *agent 47* , he has a flame thrower , and he's angry."
"Hello bee 47, we have a new task for you
After the last hornet attack we lost many other bees in the fight, we need to avoid that
Your mission is to infiltrate the enemies hornet's base and retrieve any valuable information. Good luck bee 47"
That's the kind of anxiety I like to have in my life. The anxiety of knowing that my bee hives are about to be attacked by killer wasps. That's life bro.

Watching nature with family before the phones were one of my favourite moments
15:00 only the bee with the camera survived
I was way too pumped to watch those Japanese bees attack
you and me both! 😅🤣🤣
I watched this and felt just like 300 of sparta.
When they clash!
Amazing cinematography. Spot on.
At first I was sad for the bees and at the end was for the wasp.
Made me realise nature is unforgiving and powerful and life must go through a cycle.
Except the 300 of Sparta actually had about 2000 other Greek reinforcements and they still lost against the more numerous Persian army. All the Spartans got slaughtered, some of the other contingents surrendered.
Video title: Hornet are dangerous.
First clip: hornet getting mauled by bees.
Yeah- only 1 species know that trick tho- the rest? slaughtered.
@@elevown I know, but still nice way to start don’t you think?
Is no one going to talk about how they get all these amazing shots
EXACTLY! There is 0 space inside a hornets nest or beehive to put a massive camera, so how they got all this footage I'll never know

Satisfying to watch. what a wonderful earth we have
I like how BBC Earth have Cameras everywhere😂
Crazy how the wasp hive senses queen not giving off the right scent anymore so they turn on her and exterminate her. Then the hive turns on eachother and the young. Craziest thing I have ever seen in my entire life. Gave me chills watching and the line "the hive turns into anarchy" wow. Very chilling
Hornet: "I'd like to speak with the manager."
Bees: "you're in the wrong hood, fool!"
I love these bees a LOT!
I love how BBC Earth recommended to me this beautifully gruesome historic footage from the Great Bee War of 1916!
The voice of the commentary remember me the voice of Galadriel in Lord of Rings. Also when she says "the workers have excaveted tons of earth" makes me think of the caves of Moria. Lol
Are you high? She sounds nothing like Galadriel.

The Japanese bees knows how to defend themselves against hornet.

"Just like any mother, her commitment to her young will be unswerving" bit of a sweeping statement there ....
they look so cool and scary at the same time
th-cam.com/video/AmJXZ4w4UgE/w-d-xo.html
such a fascinating group of species
How do u even record this..
It's amazing stunning
It would be interesting to see the hornet vs bee wars play out over the next million years. Will the hornets adapt and raise their heat tolerance another two degrees to match the bees or will they develop another strategy?
Oh, but, you see, the bees can play the "raise my temperature tolerance" game too.
Nope, because we'll have hopefully wiped them all out well before then. The hornets, that is, but we need the bees.
Just like we are eradicating mosquitoes by making them infertile we will probably make hornets infertile too
15:36 is like a game over scene from a horror game where you have to escape before a giant hornet tracks you down and bites your head off.
The BGM is epic. And the narrator reminds me of the Lord of the Rings... 🙏👍🤣

Killing an Asian giant hornet with heat generated by vibration... Wow!!!

boy am i glad i'm not currently being killed by a huge pile of bees
Hats off to BBC. These are all archives for the future that might not cherish it as much as they should. Eternal stuff
Stunning video, thank you
Incredible footage
The bees when they see the hornet incoming: “ENEMY AC130 ABOVE!! Trigger the alarm!!”
What a wonderful soundtrack!
Triggered by the very first attack by intruder, what a quick response it is! Instantaneously a ball of bees!
I wonder how people in rural Japan manage to live amongst these dangerous flying creatures without getting stung.
40 people die every year because of them
outstanding camera work well done
It's like I am watching a gladiator battle between the bee's vs. hornets
What a great documentary
Would it be possible to crossbreed the Japanese honeybees with the European variety? Maybe they could inherit their defensive strategy against the giant hornets.
You'll get us all killed :D These bees are next level evolution while humans are more and more retarded.
someone tried that in brazil with african and european bees, end result killer bees
@@DaGabbaGangsta didnt know that
Or they can teach them an in return teach them how to make more honey fair deal
Though Africanized honey bees display certain behavioral traits that make them less than desirable for commercial beekeeping, excessive defensiveness and swarming foremost, they have now become the dominant type of honey bee for beekeeping in Central and South America due to their genetic dominance as well as ability to out-compete their European counterpart, with some beekeepers asserting that they are superior honey producers and pollinators.
Africanized honey bees, as opposed to other Western bee types:
Tend to swarm more frequently and go farther than other types of honey bees.
Are more likely to migrate as part of a seasonal response to lowered food supply.
Are more likely to "abscond"-the entire colony leaves the hive and relocates-in response to stress.
Have greater defensiveness when in a resting swarm, compared to other honey bee types.
Live more often in ground cavities than the European types.
Guard the hive aggressively, with a larger alarm zone around the hive.
Have a higher proportion of "guard" bees within the hive.
Deploy in greater numbers for defense and pursue perceived threats over much longer distances from the hive.
Cannot survive extended periods of forage deprivation, preventing introduction into areas with harsh winters or extremely dry late summers.
Live in dramatically higher population densities.
Wars between insects can be as brutal as human ones
Battle music sounds like music from the Omen. Great camera work!
I love the dark souls music while those bees mobbed that hornet
This video scenes are insane 💯😳
Judging from this video bees can attack strategically.They have intelligence which I’m very impressed
Love the background music!
Did you see the honey bee riding on the back of the wasp? Amazing
As much as hornets are the demon spawn, they're incredible insects
Imagine if these things were bigger than they are. Humans probably wouldn't remain at the top of the food chain for long.
That epic soundtrack, love it :D
reminds me of The Omen😈
