*lady. What a brave little lady. ;P
Drones (boys) don't do shit but eat and breed, ROFL.
@@jenniferkaplan1956 Oh lol!
@@jenniferkaplan1956 damn...that's suck...
I wish I could be a male bee 😝
@@fairuzraz2468 ROFL, don't be so sure; the drones get thrown out of the hive in late Fall to starve and/or freeze to death. Only the workers actually get to overwinter with the queen. Also, bee lives are pretty short. The queen is the longest-lived member of the hive at a whooping... 1 to 2 years. I'd stick with humanity if I were you, lol. ;P (This is all about European honeybees, btw. Japanese honeybees do have some differences - see hornet ball - but I suspect this stuff is mostly similar.)
@@fairuzraz2468male bees will get kicked out of their hive for being useless and after u get kicked out u will starve or freeze to death outside. You sure?
She didn't even flinch when she got surrounded by the smaller hornets
I think we all wish we had that level of serenity.
Bee keepers understand bee and wasp behavior and don’t usually have the irrational fear that ordinary folk do.
Thank you for supporting the bees, they are the most quintessential creatures, working endlessly to provide for themselves and others.
Please make more videos.
Poor bees, thank you for taking care of them so well Mayu and team!
5 minutes in - that little Japanese bee was so brave all on his/her own! And the lady talking is also brave in those short jeans!!!
Like watching you work. Love to hear you speaking. My Japanese is almost lost after all these years, but still remember some. Thank you.
Mayu is a brave brave lady ❤
Thank you for showing us this! It’s amazing!!!
enjoyed watching,thanks !
Mayu’s so beautiful. ☺️❤️
she's like an anime dreamgirl but a real human with beekeeping skillz..
Love your videos. I'm new to your channel. I was unaware of the Asian Giant Hornet until a special aired on Animal Planet a few years ago. Especially how they actively hunt down honeybee colonies, and can and have entirely wiped out whole colonies of Western honeybees. I have no love for the Asian Giant Hornet. Those things freak me out. I even have nightmares about being swarmed by them, no kidding.
A couple years ago, in Washington state, a series of nests of them were found and destroyed. The state is still relentlessly on the lookout for them. The same situation exists in France, where they managed to invade several years ago.
I always find it interesting that even though the Japanese honeybee has an effective defense (the "bee ball"), beekeepers still have to be on guard against them.
France was invaded by different species of "ASIAN HORNET". Scient name of this species is Vespa Velutina. They are comparable in size to european Hornet. Giant Asian Hornet is Vespa mandarina which is shown on this video. Velutina are preety much same as european Hornet. comparable size, comparable agressivness, comparable venom. VESPA VELUTINA IS NOT GIANT MURDERER HORNET.
This channel soothes my soul.
The sounds are sooooo familiarly comfortable :D
You are a brave bee keeper😊
Tôi ở Việt Nam . Tôi rất thích nuôi ong mật , tôi đang nuôi giống ong mật bản địa của Việt Nam . Những video về ong mật bản địa Nhật Bản của bạn rất thú vị
Hello I was wondering if you've ever seen a flow hive? I was wondering what you might think of it. Since its wooden only do you think it might need reinforcement against hornets too?
I have done research with the Flow Hive and Japanese honey bees. Using the Flow Hive as it is, is not suitable for Japanese bees. However, using the smaller version with the Flow Frames in a traditional Japanese beehive works very well. You can search for the paper "Increased Honey Yield of Apis cerana japonica Using Half-Sized Flow Frames in a Traditional Japanese Beehive".
Very interesting.👍
I'm diggin' this channel, but cannot see the captioning
I think I have encountered the yellow hornet many years ago, now where was it .... ah yes, in Donkey Kong Country.
일본 프응TV ? There's a very popular bee keeper youtube in Korea called " 프응 TV " it's mainly about bee keeping farmer's life, partially wars between wild bees and domestic bees, hornets and other insects, drama and gossip between queens, country dogs with a Gopro camera on their back and others. Maybe in another metaverse there might be a collaboration video between Japan and Korean bee keepers. Great Video !
I'm no bee expert but would a metal or hard plastic grid around the bee hive help? Since those hornets are so big, you can have the open spaces on the grid big enough for bees to pass but not giant hornets.
I am thinking the same thing
The sound it made when she shook the hornet on the sheet😂
How does Japanese honey taste compared to western bee honey? Thank you!
It depends on the flowers. Most honey from Japanese bees is called "100 flower honey". It's not literally 100 different flowers, but just means "wildflowers".
@@MariaPetalcorin that makes sense! Have you tried East and West honey? Would the average person know the difference? thanks!
@@bicivelo Yes, I’ve tried honey from both Western and Japanese bees. I’m not sure if I could necessarily tell the difference, but several beekeepers that I have met claim that they can 😆
@@MariaPetalcorin would that not be " hyaku hana hanii" or hanii no hyaku hana"? Thats would be a fun sounding name
A glass jar with a relatively large mouth is sufficient to catch these wasps. They are so heavy that they cannot fly upwards. Once they are in they are stuck since they cannot climb up the smooth glass surface. If they are attracted to some over ripe fruit ( grapes, figs etc. ) in a couple of inches of water at the bottom, it is a fatal trap for them. Watching them clamber on top of each other to stay out of the water is as satisfying as watching them stuck on this glue plate. ;) HAI.
4:32 time to go get a bee suit..
She's super cute.
Brave Japanese bee defends the hive!
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Hornets can carry you away. Lol.
The giant hornets have made it to Alberta Canada now. Saw my first ones last summer.
was nice knowing you 🫡
Those bees know she’s protecting them. Bless her wee need them so bad or we don’t eat!!!
Building a double enclosure ( one circling the area with an 8 foot bubble then the next one very close to the hive) with 1/4 inch, or even smaller, holed wire mesh would work.
Just ensure the mesh can allow the bees IN/OUT and STOP the hornets and other predators.
That sticky method is ok but it is an indiscriminate killing method, hopefully bees do not land on it.
The bees may be confused by a mesh and don't have that much flight agility. they may end up bumping into the mesh more than other obstacles too. There's a whole compilation of scientists recording random bees crashing mid-air into things.
It is notable that bees can replenish their numbers pretty quickly so a good strong hive could afford to accept such losses especially when the hornets cannot attack the actual hive.
During hornet season a lot of beekeepers in Japan use nets around the hives that only the bees can pass through. They show this on their IG page actually.
Such a powerful Menacing creature Defeated by a little bit of glue and Some paper
👍👍
I want to see an entire sheet get covered in these things.
actualy funny how comfrtable she became with them around
4.38 " it wont attack humans" haha I'm not getting close enough to find out.
Mayu is awesome
Hornet’s..big ones (suzumebachi ) and the yellow smaller ones are like lawyers, accountants and politicians…best kept in a wire box at the bottom of a lake…in summary, any dead hornet is a GOOD hornet.

This is why shows like Ultraman and films like Godzilla originated in Japan. They know about hideous monsters.
Очень интересно! Спасибо.
Will the giant hornets go after colonies of yellow hornets or do they only go after bees?
Not an expert at all, but I'd wager to guess they mainly go after bees for the honey and larva
Giant hornets also attack other hornets. Even Beetles raid. They chew their prey into meatballs and take them home. But they like to raid bee colonies for their favorite food.
I know mites aren't an issue with native Japanese bees, but it seems like wax moths affect them more. I've seen other beekeeping channels from Europe, US, or even Australia and I've never heard of wax moths until this channel. Bees are fascinating
Edit: I don't watch bee channels on a regular basis
There was this one australian guy that mentioned wax moths. He was explaining that wax moths can fake communication like an imposter to the bees to lay larvae into beehives but I think he did mention he hadn't personally dealt with them yet.
@@harrymu148 Oh, that's fascinating. I was wondering how wax moths were able to start an infestation since bees are so organized and clean in their hives. I couldn't think of how a moth could have either gotten past guards or why the bees wouldn't remove wax moth larva. Thanks!
Those steroid hornets are one of the scariest Things I've ever seen and heared
프응이 날이곳으로 이끌었군
i think these tests on this channel will become valuable info once these giant hornets populate more of the world . they are already in the Pacific North west US. and of course the Media is capitalizing
She is damn pretty

I'm still remembering what the beekeeper from a previous video said, the giant hornets may seem like a nuisance, but they are important to the ecosystem, I just wish they could be exterminated permanently, driving off bees due to an attack...honey bees are crucial to our ecosystem.
they're an important part of the ecosystem IN JAPAN. here they are an invasive species.
海外の方にとってニホンミツバチは興味深いでしょうね。
熱殺蜂球とかセイヨウミツバチにない独特のものもあるでしょうね。
I understand that you want to kill the hornets in order to protect the bees, but there is no reason to excessively torture the hornets by letting them struggle until they die of exhaustion on the glue sheet. That is too cruel of you.
How else do you propose she do it?
Wenn ich mich abrupt verpisse, lag es wohl an der Hornisse...😱
