The first Elim-esque blog post of mine. Those familiar with the development of sports supplements will know there's a new product making its rounds in the scene, known as Hornet Juice.
Now truth be told, I don't know anyone who actually takes this stuff, but it's a recreation of the amino acids found in the secretions of Japanese giant hornet larvae, which, when consumed by the adult hornets (yes, the babies feed their parents, awww), enables them to fly 50 miles a day at up to 20 miles an hour. That's 2 full marathons for you.
(The video was uploaded by a user named 'hornetjuice'... looks like the company has its own YouTube account.)
It also enables a small squad of 30 hornets to kill an entire hive of 30,000 honey bees in 3 hours.
Here's another video of giant hornets taking on a mantis. Note the mantis can't even get a grip on the ferocious hornet.
But, not before the bees get their own back. These are Japanese bees, not European honeybees, and probably not cultivated.
Take out the scout, that's the way. Then the location of the hive dies along with it.
