«Breaking News» Perfect swarm: The incredible moment a man scoops up Asian giant hornets with his bare HAND

For most people, the thought of picking up one solitary tiny wasp is horrifying.

So many will need to steel themselves to watch this video.

It shows a Chinese hornet breeder scooping up Asian giant hornets with his bare hand.

This is the moment that a Chinese hornet breeder casually scoops up Asian giant hornets in his hand. He warns viewers not to try this at home

He does so while talking to the camera and with an astonishing casualness.

The hornet breeder is based in Sichuan Yibin City and on his website warns viewers not to try and imitate what he’s doing as it’s a ‘dangerous operation’.

His warning should be taken extremely seriously.

The Asian giant hornet (Vespa mandarinia) – also known as the ‘yak-killer’ – is the world’s biggest hornet.

Multiple stings from this creature can be enough to kill a human.

It has a 0.24in stinger and a body length of up to 1.8in.

Insect expert Dr Peter Kennedy from Exeter University told MailOnline Travel that the breeder is probably able to hold the insects because they don't have a nest to defend.

He said: 'Hornets, especially the Asian hornet, are very defensive/aggressive when they perceive a threat to their nests. There is no nest or brood (larvae and pupae) visible in the video such the defensive behaviour of the Asian giant hornets is likely subdued by the absence of a nest to defend.

'Hornets when away from the nest, like when out foraging for food, tend to be far less aggressive to us and, by an experienced person, can be handled with care. Their size is often intimidating enough for most that they don’t need to resort to stinging; often they just move on elsewhere. Stings from individuals tend to happen more in response to being accidentally trapped/held or flaying arms.' 

Hornet expert Ellen Moss added: 'He's probably not being stung because he's not doing anything that the insects interpret as threatening. The aggressiveness of many stinging insects is often vastly overestimated. These insects will not sting unless there is a reason to - it is metabolically costly for them to waste venom, and there is an obvious risk of receiving an injury or being killed in retaliation.'

A much smaller relative of the Asian giant hornet (Vespa velutina) has now made its way to British shores.

It first arrived in France in 2014 and has since been spreading rapidly, with the first UK sighting in 2016.

It is a highly effective predator of insects, including honey bees and other beneficial species.

It can cause significant losses to colonies, other native species and potentially ecosystems.

'Asian hornets are quite horrific and we are hoping that our climate will not suit or satisfy them,' Tom Shaw, of the Federation of Irish Beekeepers Association, told The Times recently.

'They are out of control in France. They are very dangerous insects and everyone is watching and doing their own little bit to keep an eye out.'

This is the moment that a Chinese hornet...

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.

Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
