On August 16, Shi Hairong, a grid member of Wanqingsha Town, Nansha, Guangzhou, found that a new horse honeycomb was built in a residential building, which was the size of a basketball, and there were bees circling around the honeycomb, which would bring great safety risks to the lives of nearby residents if not removed in time.
"When patrolling, I found that there was a honeycomb in this residential building, the wasps were still flying around, and the honeycomb was on the outer wall of the fourth floor, which was difficult to handle, so I immediately notified the owner of the house and the surrounding residents to evacuate away, and dialed 119 to request the support of the fire brigade," the grid member said.
After receiving the notice, the fire brigade quickly rushed to the scene to investigate, and decided to use woven bags to set the entire honeycomb, so that it could be cleaned in one step to ensure the safety of the residents to the greatest extent. The honeycomb was built in the corner of the window on the fourth floor, and in order to remove it safely, the firefighters put on protective clothing, reached out from the window and covered it with a woven bag to remove it. Then, the remaining honeycomb and liquid were sprayed with insecticide, and the honeycomb fragments that fell around were collected and bagged together, and no one was injured by the wasp attack in the whole process.
Residents living nearby witnessed the process of grid workers and firefighters removing the honeycomb, photographed their "brave honeycomb" figures, and sent them to the circle of friends to praise them.
Grid staff reminded all residents and friends, the horse bee is more aggressive, sting needle is toxic, after being attacked by it serious and even threaten life, found that the honeycomb must be as far away as possible, as soon as possible to ask professionals to clean up, do not rush to remove themselves.
Horse Bee Encyclopedia: Horse wasp, also known as "ant bee", "wasp" or "wasp". It is also largely toxic in large lengths, and can sting insects in the order Membranoptera (formerly known as pintail suborder) except for bees and ants. It is a widely distributed, diverse, and fast-flying insect. Belonging to the wasp family of hymenoptera, the female bee has a powerful long stinging needle, and when it encounters attack or unfriendly interference, it will attack in groups, which can cause allergic reactions and toxic reactions, and in severe cases, can lead to death. Wasps usually build their nests from soft pulp-like wood pulp and feed on animal or plant foods.
