[@MareLooke]

The bit about hornets is, unfortunately, an incorrect generalisation, the European Hornet, which is, in fact, slightly larger than the Giant Asian Hornet, is extremely docile, more so than most other wasp species. The European Hornet also leaves beehives (and people) alone unless directly threatened, while the Asian one is known for, well, murdering entire beehives, and being aggressive towards pretty much anything and everything.

[@hyperx72]

@@MareLooke I'm not taking any chances with those guys it's on sight with them. (I still got a bunch of stings from them randomly nesting in a bush I had my hand near)

[@Lori-lp6uc]

Not true. Not all wasps are aggressive. In fact, I'm convinced they recognize a human and will try to avoid conflict. There was a wasp nest outside our front door for years. The wasps generally watched us come and go. Occasionally, they would fly around us when going to and from the hive. In the morning, the wasps would wait patiently while I filled water dishes outside. Then, they would fly down for a drink. As long as you don't swat at them, they will leave you alone. I can't say the same for all bees, wasps, and hornets. Some are definitely aggressive.

[@tobiasrietveld3819]

Your infomation about hornets is, unfortunately, mostly wrong. The European Hornet, Vespa crabro have workers average around 25mm while the workers of the Asian Giant Hornet, Vespa manderinia is about 45mm. Their attitudes are basically the same, not particularly agressive unless you mess with the nest, but because of its size and more potent venom, a swarm of V. manderinia has a chance of killing a human (a few every year in Japan). They are somewhat attracted to human food, but nothing like the much more 'aggressive' jellow-jackets. And while the European Hornet doesn't directly invade bee hives, they prey on bees a lot, just like they go after other smaller wasps. As after all, these ARE the primary predators for these kind of insects, in volume even more so than dragonflies or birds. The same goes exactly for their larger Asian cousin, except their overbearing size allows them to go as far as directly invading the nests of smaller wasps. The whole 'murdering entire beehives' is undeserved bad rep as the indigenous Japanese bee species can deal with their invasions just fine by heatballing invaders and it's only the domesticated species that get annihilated. But people reallly should stop with the hypocrisy of freaking out about it as our honey bees are effectively an invasive species, pushing out indigenous ones (yet people are fine with it of money and honey). Besides, it's trivially easy to stop V.manderinia from invading a commercial hive simply by putting a narrow metal grill on the nest's entrance. If they can't get inside they'll kill a bunch of workers but quickly give up when they can't get to the larvae.

[@hyperx72]

[@Omnipulsar]

as a food service worker myself what kind of place would rather have there employees deal with wasps hornets and bees? your employer must really not care about those with allergic reactions to those things that can kill them because that is exactly what will happen during allergic reactions to bee wasp or hornet stings in some circumstances. also in food service that is just a unsafe work place anyways if you are having to worry about being stung all the time in the kitchen

[@SourLlama]

@Omnipulsar most places, unsurprisingly. I work for a large corporation and it’s a well known fact that corporations don’t care about their employees. They prefer avoiding liability and having employees take appropriate precautions as necessary. And we’re not exactly out here holding all the doors and windows open all day long inviting them in. They will slip in through the constantly opening and closing Drive Thru window and I murder them as quickly as possible with a fly swatter. It’s not like we’re sticking our hands in an angry hive. If anyone is present who has an allergy we have them step away until the problem is dealt with.

[@Omnipulsar]

@SourLlama ya I get corporations don't care if people die of allergic reactions on the job but you would think they would have enough brain cells to know that if they don't address the wasp problem someone who is allergic can die and then they will be liable and also I've worked at places where they are wasps in the smoking area but never so bad where you get swarms of them in the restaurant maybe if the employer at those places hired a family member and they died from a allergic reaction to a wasp sting maybe they will care enough to fix the wasp problem

A necessary note about wasps that was missing: The species of wasp known as Yellowjackets are unusually aggressive, in the sense that your every day paper wasp will most likely ignore you, while a Yellowjacket will become aggressive and sting with little to know provocation. They are considerably larger than their smaller paper wasp cousins, and can be identified by a large enclosed paper nest with single entrance versus the typical paper wasp umbrella nest.

[@ManDuderGuy]

See it gets confusing though: Where I'm from (Georgia, usa) we have lots of "yellow jackets" that have ground nests, sometimes with multiple entrances, layered waffle-style inside. Then we have "hornets" that make a somewhat similar nest but hanging in a tree usually. /shrug P.s. last time I was stung I was taking down a small tree with an axe and some nearby yellow jackets did NOT appreciate those sharp vibrations coming through the ground.

Facts bro how tf are bees that smart how did they learn to do that

[@bugjams]

@@jacevalentine5746 I can't give you a real answer and I'm by no means an expert. But looking at it from an evolutionary standpoint, the bees that started attacking wasps this way got to live, while the ones that didn't figure it out, died. I don't think it's just random chance, though. Honey bees _can_ sting, and if I were to guess (again, purely speculation at this point), it might've started with just a few hives of bees. Maybe they tried to defend themselves by simply dog-piling and stinging the hornet in large numbers. Although they didn't _intend_ to kill the hornet by roasting it alive, the strategy still worked, and so they learned to do the same thing the next time they were attacked. We know, after all, that bees _are_ capable of learning and passing on knowledge. The final step in the process goes back to evolution. Through trial and error, various bee colonies started picking up on this new tactic, and teaching it to new generations of bees. Bees who learned this tactic, and were able to pass it down, survived. Bees that didn't learn how to do this, died. Over many generations, they perfected their strategy, learning that the best way to kill the hornet is by cooking it alive (although I'm sure the bees who land on the hornet first probably sting as well, just for good measure).

Literally every bee except honey bees won't die after a single sting. Honeybees are just fragile messes that overreact to every little bad thing. When comparing anything to bees, please refrain from thinking of the honeybee, they are one of the weirdest bees on the planet and aren't even native to most regions. Mason and sweat bees are far better examples of the average bee. Also, most wasps aren't actually chasing you to cause harm, in many cases they just think you might stir up or attract food items, like mosquitoes or grasshoppers. When they do attack, it's usually because you are near a nest. Even still, solitary wasps are quick to abandon their nest rather than stand and fight, so they are less likely to sting than most bees. Plenty of solitary wasps don't even make nests, making them _even less_ aggressive.

[@TheSimplicated123]

Here's a little extra for you all: the sting of a bee is always inherently acidic, while the sting of a wasp is inherently alkaline.

I was mowing the back yard of my house when I disturbed a colony of wasps that had a nest hidden underneath the base of the fence that separated my yard from my neighbor's. As I pushed the mow near the nest I felt a knife stabbing pain in my right ankle. I looked down and spotted the wasp on me, its stinger buried into the area where I felt the pain. I stumped my foot shaking it away, then I ran away from the mower leaving it running. Safely away from the fence, I turned around to look at the mower horrified to see it being attacked by a swarm of wasps who had come out of the nest. I went inside the house and looked at the swollen bump on my ankle which hurt like hell. I remember being scared, hoping I didn't have an allergic reaction. I had heard horror stories of people dying after being stung by bees because they suffered an allergic reaction that caused their tongues to swell up and cut off their air passage. Lucky for me I did not suffer any serious complications however I will never forget that day.

While in college, a farmer donated a hive he had dug up in early winter to the biology department. Being a biology major, I found it interesting, but also asked how he knew the bees were dead. I was surprised by the answer from the science professors. "Because it's winter, they're dead." Having grown up around bees that lived underground, I had been familiar with the concept of insects hibernating. I suggested this and was resoundingly dismissed by both professors and students. By mid winter, the bee hive was covered with a blanket, though placed in a large fish tank and almost forgotten. One day a girl lets out a scream and yells "BEE!!!!" Immediately the others ask "where would a BEE come from in WINTER?!" Me: "How about that 'dead' bee hive in the back of the room?" They go look, professor equally enthralled.... pull the blanket off and shriek in horror as the 'dead' hive is now swarming with bees emerging from their all too short hibernation. It was only then they began taking my observations more seriously. I mean, I kinda earned the reputation as a joker, but thought I'd done a good job defending my explanation up to then. Not my fault they ignored my warning. :) Yeah - not all bees migrate for winter (if any do), and those that don't instead go to ground for the colder months to stay warm enough. oh... and bees can be BLUE too! www.losangelescountybeekeepers.com/blog/2020/5/14/floridas-long-lost-blue-bee-has-been-rediscovered

I grew up in Alaska and we had a lot of bugs, very few of which were capable of long distance migration. As best I understand it, most of the bugs only survive in egg form for an entire winter, with all other forms of their species completely killed off by the cold. (Adult ants may well get around this by hibernating far enough underground to avoid freezing temperatures. )

I had a job working for a pharmaceutical company in the allergenics and extracts dept. We processed yellow jackets, hornets, and wasps for their venom. So you have latex gloves on, masks, hair coverings, lab coat, and you pull the stingers out of the dead insects with small tweezers. You pull out the stinger and the venom sac and put it in a small vial. Repeat process ad nauseum. We had to make sure to never rub our face, nose or eyes. One day my coworker Julie had a problem with her contact lens and rubbed her eye. Shes screaming in pain and has to be driven to the ER. I figured she would have some swelling but she went into anaphylactic shock! Her face looked like she had been beaten with a baseball bat!! She took pictures of it and it was like half a grapefruit was growing out of her face below her eye! She was out for a week. We all got reminded of the danger and were very careful always.

Which is annoying, if said "ground-burrow" is in a place on the front lawn of your house, where stepping on them is nearly impossible to avoid (and yes, I speak from direct experience with this phenomenon. It IS a problem some properties have, where I live). Basically, every year my wife and I have to go outdoors, seek out any ground-burrows we can find, and then, with the wasp sleeping inside it (typically during the evenings, because these wasps are not nocturnal), poison the burrow with some spray. We then cover the hole with some mesh, to prevent escape, and wait, as the wasp slowly suffocates to death inside the oxygen-stealing miasma the spray creates. Yes, that sounds cruel, but actually, the wasp dies painlessly, and in its' sleep, which is really no different than executing a criminal with a "lethal injection."

It's his BEARD, It's Hypnotic and holds Dark Magic! It Force's you into a trance while Simmon takes a part of your Life Force thru the screen of your device! Simmon is a very Ancient Dark Lord of POWER! All Will Bow 🙇‍♀️ 🙇‍♂️ down and bath in the Glory of his BEARDEDNESS!!!

Too true! Lol

The accent and beard make him automatically more convincing, change my mind

[@SuperKpill]

We need a person to explain it

[@Keithustus]

Google doesn’t do a great job finding the right expert to explain things like this. You’re likely to be stuck on Wikipedia for an hour or looking at some agricultural department guidebook to field identifying insects for some specific region.
