I saw the entire show presenting this grizzly event on television. Quite amazing, really. There was also a section documenting a man's death by Yellow Jackets. And in retaliation from the bees, the Japanese Honey Bees allow the hornet scout to enter the hive without alarm. They then collectively jump it and begin vibrating so fast that they cook the scout. A hornet dies at 104 F or something.
