The bumblebee in the movie "Transformers" is estimated to be a character that many people like very much, he is witty and decisive, invincible, but in reality, bumblebee, its image is diametrically opposite in the movie. I believe that there are many friends who grew up in the countryside, they must have seen the horse honeycomb poke when they were young or stabbed themselves, what happened to them in the end?
Bumblebees and wasps are both wasps, insectoid creatures that have large bodies, spines on their tails, are highly venomous, and chew their mouthparts, and if they see wasps, then don't think about anything, hurry up and run away, because they are extremely deadly.
At the end of last year, the United States can be described as a disaster, the first time in Washington State, someone encountered two Asian bumblebees, instantaneous local people talk about bees discoloration, today's protagonist also began to appear, that is, the Asian bumblebee, also known as the Japanese bumblebee.
The attitude of Americans towards the Japanese bumblebee is not exaggerated at all, because the wasp is often called the killer bee, and the Japanese bumblebee is the leader of the killer bees, it is the largest wasp in the world, and any wasp looks short and deep in front of it. Their body length can reach five centimeters, the surface of the body is brightly colored, orange and black, as if to say to other creatures at all times: Stay away from me, I am very bad!
Soldiers do not blood blade, its weapon is divided into two parts, the head has a huge chewing mouthpiece, can even tear beef, the tail also has a nearly 0.7 cm long poison needle, even if people wear protective clothing can be easily pierced, the most terrifying thing is that the Japanese bumblebee and bee poison needles can be used repeatedly, and continue to release toxins.
The most deadly is that the poisonous needles of the Japanese bumblebee contain high venom, which is comparable to the high venom of poisonous snakes, and rats and snakes that are stung by Japanese bumblebees can often be seen in the wild, and when the Japanese bumblebee repeatedly stings people, it is quite fatal. Dozens of people in our country have been stung and sent to the hospital this year. The most tragic thing is that seven years ago, the Japanese hornet population surged, and 42 people were stung to death in Shaanxi Province.
Some people said after being stung that the feeling was like a red-hot soldering iron burning the skin repeatedly, which was unbearable. And why Americans are so afraid of the Japanese bumblebee is not because of the prestige of the killer bee, but because the Japanese bumblebee is called the "bee butcher", the total number of more than two, you can slaughter the entire nest of tens of thousands of bees.
Simply put, in areas where there are Japanese bumblebees, the surrounding bees will be killed. The one that beekeepers hate most is bumblebees. So when the United States discovered the Japanese bumblebee, it immediately listed it as the most dangerous invasive species.
Bees and bee pupae have always been the favorite food of Japanese bumblebees, they are used to hunting alone, all kinds of meat, insects, frogs, snakes, rodents are on their menu, but only bees are their favorite delicacies. In late summer and early autumn, bumblebee workers form hunting groups and attack other fauna.
So the bees' hives are their cafeterias, and the bumblebees will send out a scout bee to look for the hive, and then climb into the hive to leave their own pheromones and attract other foraging groups of bumblebees to hunt.
In general, bumblebee hunting groups range from two to dozens, although it is not proportional to the number of bees, but the Japanese bumblebee has an absolute advantage in slaughtering bees and occupying the hive, and the bees are like sheep entering the tiger's mouth compared to bumblebees.
Bumblebees will use a huge mouthpiece to instantly rip off the bee's head, then take away the nymphs that feed them, such as bees, nymphs and pupae, and then use the hive for their own purposes. Bumblebee can solve a bee in less than ten seconds, and the bumblebee foraging team can basically complete the task of occupying the hive in a few hours.
Some people will ask, tens of thousands of bees can not even drive away dozens of Japanese bumblebees, can not kill? But it is true, it is not that the bees are too weak, but that the Japanese bumblebee is too strong, a hard shell, the needle of the bee can not pierce at all, it is impossible to break the armor, let alone defense.
But can the bees just sit still? In fact, it is not, the winning stage is to control the first reconnaissance bee, so that it can not leave pheromones in the hive, only in this way will not attract bumblebee foraging groups, so what means do the bees have to hunt the reconnaissance bees?
When Asian bees such as Chinese bees and Japanese bees encounter Japanese bumblebees, they have learned that poisonous needles cannot pierce the shell of bumblebees at all, and they have evolved new means of defense, layers of bees surrounded by hornet scout bees, and then at the same time incite wings, generate heat, roast the reconnaissance bees alive, and avoid leaving bumblebee pheromones.
The bee colony of the bee organization will quickly and fully envelop the bumblebee and begin to flap its wings rapidly, thus bringing heat energy, and in nearly an hour of thermal energy attack, the temperature of the central bee colony can be maintained to about 46 degrees, and the bees can survive at this temperature, but the bumblebee is deadly, and it can only be slowly roasted.
But the Distant Relatives of asian Bees, Western Bees, have not learned this trick, and they can be said to have no ability to fight back after encountering Japanese bumblebees. It may be that they have never seen a Japanese bumblebee, and they have no idea that they are already in danger, and when they react, the entire hive has changed owners.
I have always been a staunch animal protector, and I have kept and raised many small animals, but I have never known what the significance of the existence of bumblebees is, which poses a threat to humans and other creatures, and I think that such harmful animals should be completely eliminated and eliminated. What do you think of it?
