VooDooPC January 11, 2006 Share VooDooPC Member January 11, 2006 To have one of these as a pet: Or two! They are Asian Giant Hornets (Vespa mandarinia) and they grow to be over 1.5 inches long. Four of them can take out a whole bee's hive by themselves in a few minutes. I need to find someone in Japan to ship me some. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saris January 11, 2006 Share Saris Member January 11, 2006 There's a video floating around with a handful of killer hornets wiping out an entire bee colony, it's a very interesting watch. I can dig it up if you want, but you can probably find it easily if you just google it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VooDooPC January 11, 2006 Author Share VooDooPC Member January 11, 2006 (edited) Its a National Geographic special, i've watched it a few times. http://news.nationalgeographic.com/news/20...rnet_video.html They rip their heads right off. The bee part starts about, 1/3rd of the way through the movie. "30 of them can annihilate a colony of 30,000 bees in just 3 hours."

TheReverend(c) January 11, 2006 Share TheReverend(c) Member January 11, 2006 (edited) You wont be allowed to recieve them once they reach customs. They consider them to be the same threat as killer bees. They are considered too dangerouse to our ecosystem. I tried to get an Iraqi spidercrab shipped home but they said I could face court marshal. lol Edited January 11, 2006 by TheReverend(c) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A bee made it's way into an open pop can and the person drank it and the bee stung him in the mouth (might have been in the throat or something, not sure), and he died in the hospital.

VooDooPC January 12, 2006 Author Share VooDooPC Member January 12, 2006 They may have been allergic. The bee sting probably swelled up and kept them from breathing or something. I don't claim to be a doctor though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

appalachian_fox January 12, 2006 Share appalachian_fox Member January 12, 2006 I know someone who got stung by your regular ol' bee in the mouth (no super Japanese robo-bees). Flew into or onto the soda can, he took a drink, the bee was less than happy with his breath or something like that and nailed him on the inside of the cheek and the tongue. Fortunately he wasn't allergic, so it was more an inconvenient pain and slight swelling. Of course, that's how he found out he wasn't allergic, and he had a family history of allergies, so it was a tense few minutes, but no severe reactions.
