CORRECTION:
30 hornets vs. 30,000 bees!

I never knew this happened in the insect world.

Basically, these hornets attack a bee hive for the honey and larvae. Kinda graphic, and certainly dramatic, but it's totally natural... I think.

You are welcome.

That's some amazing footage!!!! Can anyone tell me how they do that bit when they're over the hornets shoulder and flying with it? I've always wondered how they do that... :P

I can't decide whether you're joking here. I seriously was thinking that though when I was watching it. That it'd be the easiest way (prob not to nice for the hornet though)

Personally, I am outraged about this footage getting out.

Once I find out who did this, HEADS WILL ROLL!! Someone needs to get aHEAD of the situation and not lose our NECKS!

Buh-dum-bum!

Thank you, I'll be here all week.
