Asian Hornet Attacks: Bees Develop Innovative Defense Mechanism

Bees Create "Convection Ovens" to Fend Off Predators

Innovative Survival Strategy Amazes Researchers

In a remarkable display of survival instinct, honeybees have developed an innovative defense mechanism against the invasive Asian hornet. When threatened by these formidable predators, bees form a tight ball around the hornet, utilizing their wings to create a "convection oven" effect that generates intense heat and suffocates the hornet. This ingenious adaptation highlights the remarkable adaptability and resilience of bees in the face of ecological challenges.
