RUMBLE IN THE BUMBLE

Our bees harder than hornets

- POL ALLINGHAM

THE GLOVES ARE ON: B BUMBLEBEES have hit back in the fight against Asian hornets.

The critters have top-tier combat skills when targeted by the invasive stingers.

Bees drop to the ground when hornets attack – carrying the pests down.

Hornets lose their grip as they drop, or the bee raises its sting and fights until the predator gives up.
