🐝 The Most Dangerous Animal in Japan - Suzumebachi Asian Giant Hornet - Real Japan Monsters

🐝 These are Japanese Yellow Hornets (Kiirosuzumebachi). Though not as large as the famous Japanese Giant Hornet the Yellow Hornet is more dangerous, as they are more easily excited to attack. Simply passing within three meters of a nest like the one in this video may invite a swarm attack. With perhaps more than a thousand hornets within the nest, a collective attack can easily prove lethal, even to those who are not allergic to hornet stings. Attacking hornets release chemical pheromones into the air to draw more hornets to the attack. This video shows the entrance to a large hive of Yellow Hornets who have made their nest within the crack of a enormous wild Cherry tree. The location of this tree is roughly 1200 meters in elevation along the east flank of a large coastal mountain in central Japan. I filmed this scene in September as the weather was cooling and the hornets were becoming especially aggressive. Giant hornet nests die out in the winter months and the individual hornets become more aggressive as their queen's controlling pheromone supply is exhausted and available food supplies begin to run low. Hikers in Japan should be especially cautious of disturbing any suzumebachi nest from September through to the first deep frosts of winter. Though the weather was cooling, this particular day was warm and we can see several hornets using their wings to blow air over the entrance of the hive in order to help cool the interior. The Asian Giant Hornet (Vespa mandarinia) is the world's largest and the most dangerous animal in Japan. These insects are called suzumebachi (sparrow bee) in Japanese and are a common sight during summer months from the high mountains to the forested edges of large cities throughout the country. The insects make their living hunting other insects and specialize in attacking honeybee colonies where they will kill all of the bees and consume the larvae. The native honeybees of Japan, however, are not without defense as they will sometimes ambush en-mass an intruding suzumebachi, covering the hornet with their own bodies. This causes the body temperature of the wasp and bees to rise, killing the wasp which has a lower maximum temperature tolerance than the bees. Imported commercial honeybees have no such defense and are easy victims to suzumebachi in Japan and other parts of Asia. Welcome to the Real Japan Monsters channel. My name is Kurt Bell and I am delighted that you have taken some time to share a little of Japan with me. I'm available on Facebook and Google+ if you have questions or just want to chat and say hi. I can also be found at the JVLOG forum with other Japan-related content creators. All links are listed below. I look forward to meeting you on-line. Have a great day! (KB) 🐝 In the hierarchy of Japan's wilderness, the Suzumebachi, or Asian Giant Hornet, reigns supreme. With a venomous sting that can puncture protective clothing, it lives up to its name as the most dangerous animal in Japan. Join Kurt Bell on a thrilling encounter with this winged menace, contemplating the Stoic principles that underpin our fear and awe of such creatures. Is the hornet’s lethal capability an expression of nature's indifference, or a reminder of our own fleeting existence? ➡️ Venture deeper into Kurt's insights with his book "Going Alone": https://a.co/d/6SORY8N 🌐 Website: https://goingalone.org 📧 Email: dinnerbytheriver@gmail.com 👍 Support my endeavors on Patreon:   / softypapa   Be safe...
