Heat is how Japanese honey bees kill the Japanese giant hornet—they swarm the hornet when it invades the nest and vibrate, the bees can withstand a few higher degrees than the hornet. European honey bees just get slaughtered.

It’s not suffocation...but heat?
That’s interesting.

You made me curious; so I looked up Japanese giant hornet (AKA "yak killer"). I never want to see one of these in my back yard.
