30 Asian Giant Hornets Kill 30,000 Honey Bees

1.

These are Asian Giant Hornets absolutely destroying a European Honeybee hive. The bees crowd the entrance hoping to defend it but it is like WW1 soldiers going up against a modern tank.

2.

The bees simply throw themselves at the wasps and are mercilessly torn apart.

3.

Hundreds of dead bees surround the hive

Once the wasps deplete the hives defenses they move inside and take the embryos as food.

Asian giant hornets, while being absolutely horrifying in their own right, are also are major threat to bee hives in Europe and the United States. They are invasive and European honey bees, as demonstrated in above, have no defense against them. They can literally kill an entire hive in just hours. Japanese honey bees do have a defense which involves surrounding the invading wasp in hundreds of bees and basically cooking it to death. Also, their sting leaves bullet sized holes in human skin and can kill allergic people from just one sting.
