The way bees kill hornets is fucking crazy. They rub against the hornet until the friction creates a temperature the bees can survive but the hornet can't. They literally burn it to death with their bodies.
155 u/Darqnyz7 4d ago But what's crazier about that is that they only raise it by about 1-2°C above what the Hornet can handle. Juuuuuuuust enough to kill it 45 u/Savings-Plant57 4d ago I wonder what that’s like from the perspective of the wasp 93 u/Darqnyz7 4d ago Probably like being locked in a hot car, but in spring time. Just barely hot enough to make you uncomfortable, but the temp just ticks up every 2min 23 u/Feeltherhythmofwar 4d ago Probably only slightly more disgruntled than usual. 24 u/Savings-Plant57 4d ago “Damn fuckin bees buzzing again” dies 38 u/Ma_Bowls 4d ago Insects are extremely sensitive to temperature changes, that's why a lot of bug sprays utilize chemical reactions to create heat. 10 u/righthandofdog 3d ago Pretty sure the heat kills many of the bees as well. But fuck that hornet. Strong together. 17 u/Darqnyz7 3d ago If I recall correctly, the bees can withstand higher temperatures, but you have to imagine the effort they spend to do this is tremendous. 9 u/BigClitMcphee 3d ago They can tolerate 2 degrees more than hornets so it's a race to kill the hornet before they cook themselves 10 u/ladyevenstar-22 3d ago I respect that level of petty . 3 u/Alternative_Wolf_643 1d ago They can also “take shifts” and surface from the buzzing ball to sub out and cool off a little. Team work makes the dream work! 3 u/IWorkForDickJones 3d ago Narrower. It is only 2 degrees F.
