The Honey Trap

Native Japanese honey bees can vibrate enough to raise their body temperature and use the heat to cook an invading giant hornet alive. The giant hornet is basically a scout for an invading army, and the honey bees deal with the threat by creating a kind of bee-driven easy bake oven.

The temperature in the hive reaches 117°F (the honey bees can survive 118°F heat, but the hornet dies at 115°F). And then it’s roasted hornet for dinner. My inner James Bond villain really wants to train a swarm to attack my many enemies.
