That's interesting because American honeybees also do the heat ball thing to any predatory insect including hornets and wasps. They will take out an old or unacceptable queen that way as well. By feeding the hornet honey and wax, are you not training it to come back or send her workers back to attack your bees? It seems like that would be establishing a food source.

Most beekeepers around the world would have killed the hornet queen so it couldn't make a new nest and threaten "their" bees. Hell, in Canada the Coast Guard used to shoot birds of prey with machine guns to "protect" the fish stocks . . . so people could eat them.

[@illestvillain1971]

Yeah it's kinda messed up... Especially with the amount of fish we kill wastefully by catching and it's not like a bird of prey is gonna take too many, hell the bald eagle is the symbol of America lol. Predators kill predators and we're predators. We use bees for product and strip freedom so in a way we're no better. But then again Asian Giant Hornets in other parts of the world are invasive, and an argument can be made that these control the population of eusocial insects, that being said bee numbers aren't great and they are vital to our survival and a function ecosystem for pollination. If anything it's miles apart from any moral argument of them deserving to exist, we DON'T live in a natural world anymore we have so much control. And as long as we have water, air and sunlight we'll remain on top. So controlling something that actively destroys what keeps us alive is fair enough.

[@angrymaniac53]

Because hornet don't really priotize honeybee over other insect. Hornet literally goes after any insect and it's very essential considering that it is a great pest control. Hornet can masaccre honeybees but they don't really just honey bees. So yeah attack on bee aren't that high, like probably 1-2 times a year or never

[@eric2500]

WILD BEES and other pollinating insects are in danger from these creatures as well.

[@078OG]

​@@angrymaniac53hornets are not that fast. The normal shitfly is way faster. So are a lot other insects. So Hornets prefer slower insects and roadkill. Bees are a special treat wich they hunt like the hunt other hornets and wasps. Because these insects live in a hive wich is like a treaure for them with all the larve. And were bees are humble and almost defensless compared with hornets they are a easy snack. With as a bonus compared to other wasps and hornets there is also honey!

[@GintaPPE1000]

Japanese honeybees are not as productive and tend to abscond their hives more often. Since the ball technique only works against a few hornets they’re prepared to flee somewhere else if hornets attack in numbers.

[@pachicore]

Japanese bees would flee from their hive if they can't defend it against an attack. A non native species just flying to the wild would not be good for the ecosystem

[@Somone_final_final_v2]

It noted it in the video they are an apex insect predator. They hunt wild western bees and keep other pests under control

[@nz3230]

В Азии они полезны тем, что встроены в естественную экосистему. Они кого-то жрут, их кто-то жрет, и все пищевые цепочки в порядке. А если их извести - существует риск нарушения. Например, какая-то птичка, которая их научилась жрать и выработала иммунитет от яда, останется без пропитания и переквалифицируется на домашних пчел, и будет жрать их круглый год (а не только осенью, как шершень). Или какие-то другие вредные насекомые, которых жрут эти осы, начнут досаждать людям и скоту, разносить болезни и т. д. Как в свое время в 60-х китайцы истребили воробьев, а потом с голодухи массово мерли при неурожае. Потому что оказалось, что пользы от поедания птицами насекомых-вредителей больше, чем ущерба сельхозкультурам от самих птиц. Соответственно, в природном ареале обитания уничтожать азиатского шершня оправдано в случаях, когда он селится вблизи жилья или рядом с пасекой, и есть прямая угроза людям и их хозяйству. А если где-то в джунглях - то пусть живет себе. Совсем другая ситуация в Европе, обеих Америках и т. д., где этот вид является инвазивным. Там этот вид ос совершенно чужой, не встроен в местную экосистему, и при этом имеет конкурентные преимущества над эндемиками. Он сильнее, он опаснее, выносливее, быстрее развивается, и там его практически никто не жрет. Соответственно, шершни могут очень интенсивно размножаться, наносить вред местным насекомым, уничтожать диких и домашних пчел (которые не умеют ликвидировать "разведчиков" как азиатские пчелы) целыми пасеками и т. д. Поэтому в Европе или Америке, при обнаружении гнезда азиатского шершня, нужно без лишних раздумий обращаться в службу дезинсекции и истреблять эту пошесть.
