Tearing up a hive in front of thousands of killer bees! A hornet that can sting a dead person is a bird?
Hornets are the overlords of the insect world, people often frightened when they encounter them, the sting of the wasp is quite a headache, the light is allergic, the heavy is shock, for humans, seeing the hornet's nest is a detour, for fear of accidentally provoking this group of "killer bees".
However, no matter what kind of animal it is in the ecological environment, it will have its own natural enemies, and the natural enemy of the "killer bee" is the crested bee eagle.
The crested bee bust is a bird of prey full of personality and loves to inhabit the intersection of broad-leaved forests, mixed forests and coniferous forests. It has a dark brown appearance, thick plumage, and strong claws and beak.
During the breeding season from April to June, the crested bee hawk is not an "otaku", in order to support his family, he frequently goes out to hunt, but his food choices are quite special, he likes to eat all kinds of bee larvae, honey and beeswax, and sometimes some small insects.
The crested buzzard, on the other hand, has a short and powerful call, flying and chirping, and then resting on a tree branch, and its movements are swift and decisive, and it is able to capture a large number of prey, including small animals, insects, and even snakes, in the shortest possible time.
In order to ensure the growth of their own babies, the male crested bee hawk during the breeding period is responsible for raising the family, frequently going out to hunt, and will also carry some bee chrysalis back to the nest to supplement the baby's nutrition.
But in order to fill his stomach, this brave crested bee eagle is not afraid of the threat of the hornet, it will not directly break into the hornet's nest, but skillfully use the strategy of "diverting the tiger from the mountain".
This tactic, simply put, is to imitate their companions to pretend to destroy the hive, causing the hornets to attack in swarms, and when the hornets sense the danger, they send worker bees to meet the enemy, forming a tight queue and making a piercing buzzing sound to expel the invaders.
If the invaders choose to retreat, the worker bees will let go of their anger and return to their busy lives, busy continuing the construction of their nests, but if the invaders insist on invading posture, the hornets will be alert and quickly launch a ferocious attack, they will stand up with sharp poisonous needles to drive the invaders out of their territory, and the fury of the hornets will make them relentless pursuit of the invaders.
After the companion succeeded in restraining the hornet's attention, the crested buzzard did not hesitate to flash in front of the hornet's nest, ready to enjoy a hearty meal, its claws firmly grasping the branches, keeping its body steady, and examining the situation inside the hive with a sharp and keen eye.
After confirming that there was nothing unusual, the crested bee eagle stood up and performed the "rooster pecking" stunt that the bull demon king had to envy, and the long beak quickly pierced into the hive like a dagger, and each stroke was a greedy peck of the delicacy.
Under the fierce attack of the crested bee eagle, the hornet's nest instantly collapsed, revealing the richest part of it, and the crested bee eagle pecked greedily, not sparing any trace of delicacy in the hive.
After filling their bellies, the crested buzzard will leave some honey to share with its companions, but it is not over, the crested buzzard will return to the hive a few days later, at which point they will clean up all the remaining honey.
At this time, some friends will have questions, isn't the crested bee hawk afraid of being stung by a wasp?
Although the crested bee hawk is also afraid of being stung by a wasp, it has a strong self-protection mechanism that can effectively resist the attack of the wasp, and the entire body of the crested bee hawk is covered with dense feathers, which exerts an excellent defensive effect, even if the hornet really intends to attack the crested bee hawk, it has no way to do it, because it cannot find the skin of the crested bee hawk to sting.
Wasps' venom is powerful, but their needles are not indestructible. The crested bee hawk is wrapped in thick feathers, and if the wasp tries to sting it, the poison needle may not be inserted into the feathers, or once it is pierced, it is difficult to pull out easily, causing the wasp to injure itself, and the iris of the crested buzzard has also become its resistance weapon, which can effectively resist the attack of the wasp.
Although the crested bee hawk dares to challenge the hornet, in the natural ecosystem, the crested bee hawk is only a medium-sized bird of prey, and there are still natural predators, in order to reduce the probability of being discovered by natural enemies, it can also mimic like a "chameleon", imitating the body color and flight attitude of other birds of prey to protect itself.
