Japanese Hornets

Greetings Everyday Spy, Operating in the field, Jihi and I had to find creative ways to keep our skills sharp during long periods of isolation in the field. While there were a lot of activities we used to do that are not appropriate for kids (cleaning weapons, updating target dossiers, listening in on audio taps, going ‘under-covers’, etc.), there are a handful of child-friendly options, too - hahaha. One of those family-friendly activities helped my son learn a fun fact he wanted to share with you. [There is an epic battle in Japan]( between two insects that has been raging for centuries: The Japanese Giant Hornet vs. The Japanese Honey Bee The giant hornet is a 2-4 inch MONSTER bug the size of a man’s thumb. The venom (containing phospholipase) in it’s stinger is so potent it actually dissolves the skin immediately around the sting. Turns out the best food for giant hornets to feed their larvae is honey bee eggs. Enter the Japanese Honey Bee, the primary target for the Japanese Giant Hornet. Living in hives by the tens of thousands, Japanese Honey Bees are almost defenseless against the giant hornets. During a coordinated assault, the hornets literally bite the bees in half - killing thousands of bees by the minute. Once the attack is over, the entire hive population is destroyed. The hornets eat the honey as a spoil of war and then carry the bee eggs back to their larvae. But there is one super cool weapon the Japanese Honey Bees have to fight back and win… Grab your nearest child and a corner of the internet and try to find the answer together. You are gonna love it!
