I just found the coolest defense tactic in the entire animal kingdom.
I was looking online, doing research for my psychology paper, and ended up at Wikipedia's phobia page. I found the fear of bees, apiphobia, which I thought I should read up on, being I do have a large fear of bees, or any stinging insect. Fascinated clicking later, I find the Asian Giant Hornet, the largest, most venomous in the world, and how it can devastate an entire colony of honeybees. I then read about how the bees are able to defend themselves. When a hornet scout enters the area of a hive, it releases a pheromones to attract more hornets. The bees notice this pheromone, and prepare for the coolest thing ever. They all sit inside the entrance of the hive, waiting for the hornet to enter, then swarm him with about 500 bees. Then all the bees vibrate to raise the temperature of the ball-o-bees, and cook the hornet. And it's not the gruesome way of death that I find so interesting, but rather that the much smaller bees, who would have no chance if they tried to sting or bite, find a new way to take out the much stronger threat. I guess I'm just a fan of the underdog.
