  • After a hornet queen lays hundreds of eggs, her workers set about feeding the larvae chewed-up prey. With tiny waists, the workers can't digest solid food; they instead subsist on drops of amino acid from the larvae.

    Imagine a human baby scraping their teeth against the table as a Demand for food. And after they're done being fed theyll spit up a protein shake, Of which the rest of the family consumes in order to stay alive.

      And in order to meet their demands(and therefore stay alive themselves), the family has to invade other's people's houses, decapitate them, and steal their young.

    • @SuperSmith
      @SuperSmith 5 років тому +2

      bebop417 Social wasps and hornets nests start off each spring with a single female that was born before the winter and hibernates, typically underground. In the spring the queen emerges and starts building comb, laying eggs, and hunting for food. It does every role in the "hive" until the first larvae hatch, at which point they become workers which hunt and care for the larvae, as well as expanding the hive. With workers all the queen has to do is lay eggs. Each winter the males and unmated females die, so only mated females survive and can start new nests in the spring. Unlike honeybees, wasps/hornets don't typically reuse their hives or persist for more than one year. The newly raised queens mate, and build up fat stores to survive the winter. The founding queen goes out to die at the beginning of winter, as do the workers.

      You could flip that silly narration on its head and say that the workers are using the grubs to convert solid food into liquid food. If the Grubs don't produce the liquid, the workers will let them starve... It is not the young grubs controlling the hive, it is everyone doing their part.

    I must say the opening made me giggle a little. The music choice and narration were interesting. I thought it was a beautiful insight in the life of this creature. The “Killer Hornet” as you call it, could have been portrayed in a less ‘ALIEN’ esq fashion. I thought it was a tad overkill, with the dramatic music.
    We witnessed them being very caring, yet protective too. Just like us Humans...cough...splutter 😉

      @@Irkkan only the Japanese giant Hornet kills you (and the poor bees) . Hornets like the European Hornet don't sting you for no reason. Hornets even trying to escape from you if you don't attack them or are to close to their nest. Also the European Hornet kills wasps that sting you for no reason. + the sting of a (European) Hornet is the same as of a normal wasp. So why would you hate them or even attack them? Humans are so dump sometimes...

      I have come from 4 years in the future to let you know that is not how these documentaries are made. Much like sitcoms, the outside and inside views are not of the same place. They use one location that is easy to access for the inside shots and they use the outside shots to give you the impression of a natural environment around the "set".

      The larva’s body will dissolve into a liquid, that will reshape itself (similar to molding clay) into the shape of an adult hornet, and then sit there until her new body form solidifies.

    Excellent video. One thing I noticed--the hornet shown clinging to the bamboo stem at about 0:02 to 0:06 looks like Vespa crabro, which overlaps the range of Vespa mandarinia, instead of the latter species. The abdominal bands on Vespa crabro in the Far East are typically thinner than those on specimens from Europe (from where the species found its way to North America), and the head isn't as "swollen" behind the eyes on Vespa crabro as it is in Vespa mandarinia.
