30 Giant Hornets vs. 30,000 European Honey Bees

Upon watching I just had to post this: 30 Japanese Giant Hornets kill 30,000 Honey Bees. A massive attack by massive hornets (which I never heard of until today):


Violent and astonishing.

From Wikipedia:
The Asian giant hornet (Vespa mandarinia), including the subspecies Japanese giant hornet (Vespa mandarinia japonica), colloquially known as the yak-killer hornet, is the world's largest hornet, native to temperate and tropical Eastern Asia. Its body length is approximately 50 mm (2 in), with a wingspan of about 76 mm (3 in). The Japanese name for this insect is suzume bachi, literally "sparrow hornet".
