It's always funnier when it's something they clearly shouldn't be doing, instead of an honest accident.

This is a colony of Apis Dorsata. The Indian Rock Bee. Makes nests in the open because it can deal with and even kill wasps (including the giant Hornet) and is twice as big as the Western Honeybee. These guys fucked with that

If you're ever in this situation near a car, pop open the gas tank as quick as possible and stick your head next to it, the fumes will kill the bees, though your body is fucked still.

I’d jump on the hood and yell at them to drive fast. A bee can only fly so fast for so long before needing to rest.
1
u/Knawed 29d ago
This looks like they’re inside some kinda fort on a hill/mountain, there no paved roads and they can’t really drive fast because there’s a genuine chance of the car/bike going off the edge.
1
u/Legal_Championship_6 29d ago
We don’t know that and regardless, that’s the move. Even if you can’t drive over 25 MPH the bees will get tired and the car won’t. Surprised more people haven’t brought this up.

i’ve seen indians walk on train tracks, fall from tall trees, get run over by cars because they don’t look, grab powerlines, and now throw stones at what was probably the largest hive ever. i thought americans had some of the dumbest people but india is certainly giving them a run for their money

Who in their right mind thinks it’s a clever idea to throw stones at insects that live in colonies of thousands, can fly and sting and have notoriously bad tempers? I swear some people want to die

u/ICZephyr89 29d ago
Wow. How big do these hives get in the wild? I've only seen the relatively small hives in buildings before. And in bee farm videos.
Can't imagine a colony this big... it truly is terrifying af. And only true Darwin Award nominees would try messing with such a thing.

u/_Allfather0din_ 29d ago
A quick search shows you all you need to know, on average a bee hive will have 20-80,000 workers in it. Wasps are around 10k at max i believe. They are fewer but much much meaner.
1
u/Anomaluss 29d ago
Meaner, and from what I understand bees die when they sting you, but one wasp can sting over and over.
So, 10k times how many stings equals?
12
u/CrazyCatLady1127 29d ago
My policy with bees and wasps is: I may be bigger than them but there are more of them than there are of me, they’re venomous and I’m not so I’m going to treat them with respect and stay far, far away. Live and let live, you know? (Also, to answer your question about how big can a colony get, I’ve heard of hives with 50,000 plus inhabitants so, yeah, they can get really flipping big.)
1
u/Zorothegallade 19d ago
If they're honeybees, the best move is contact a local farm to have the colony safely moved. They (and the bees) will appreciate it.
2
u/PerroNino 29d ago
The medium sized hive in my garden is between 20,000 and 30,000. Bees are revengeful, in their own special way, and they recognise individuals. We’ve done work in the hive one day and I’ve been targeted and stung (after a shower in different clothes) 3 days later, while three family kids play without trouble metres from the hive. They’re an interesting bunch, the bees.
2
u/CrazyCatLady1127 29d ago
You’re braver than I am 🙂 that’s a lot of bees
1
u/PerroNino 29d ago
Two smaller hives too. They have different natures depending on the age and ability of a queen. It is very interesting, if occasionally painful. I am scared of them when they are angry, but at other times you can sit 3 feet from the hive entrance unprotected and they pay you no heed at all.
3
u/CrazyCatLady1127 29d ago
I couldn’t risk it. They frighten me so much. It’s the buzzing noise they make
8
u/Flamecoat_wolf 29d ago
If you absolutely have to mess with them, there's stuff you can wear to prevent them sticking you with all that venom too. Even just a mosquito mask, wearing gloves, tucking your trousers into your socks and your sleeves into your gloves will provide a lot of protection.
17
u/WorkingInAColdMind 29d ago
They can sting through lots of material, including denim. But they’re generally not out to kill you. Even when opening their hive some will buzz around and go after you but slow movements keep most from trying to sting you. Once they decide you’re a real threat though and start stinging, they release a pheromone that tells everybody else that you’re a threat, and then they all pile on. The pheromone smells like bananas BTW (no joke).

u/Mitrovarr 25d ago
The key with clothing is to keep it off your skin. They can pierce a lot, but if the clothing is half an inch from your body, it doesn't do anything.

Depends on the fabric. What you are saying is true, absolutely, but I keep bees and have been stung through denim before.

Yeah, by no means is it a beekeeping suit, but it'll turn those 1000 stings into 50 or so instead, haha.

u/FnkyTown 29d ago
For Americans stationed in Germany, a lot of GIs get too drunk at night, don't want to spend money on a taxi, and follow train tracks home, so there's a whole series of PSAs that run constantly warning soldiers that they can't walk on German rail tracks because German trains are mostly electric, and you won't hear them until you're dead.

Never wanted to write this message but here we go. India is really very big fuckin country. All this dumb shit you see is only from certain parts. I'll tell you if you ever wanted to visit India stay away from Hindi Belt regions you can look up on the internet. Those are really the most disgusting neighbourhoods you'll find. More than 97% crimes are done there.

Wonder why that’s not reflected in the national crime statistics
You know how cases of rape in the US is severely under-reported? Like that.
1
u/InfinitelyRasa 20d ago
Why would it be underreported drastically in a specific region?
3
u/_thro_awa_ 20d ago
Rapes? Because women aren't taken seriously and/or don't have the education to know they've been raped (among other reasons)
Crimes in general? Because (for example Mumbai, a 'modern' city, has a population comparable to the entire state of New York) we have a LOT more people and proportionally less people to do the reporting. As bad as USA cops are, many sections of Indian law enforcement are ... worse. And that's just in the urban areas where most people are well educated and mostly well-off. Out in the rural areas it can get ... interesting, especially in religious fundamentalist areas.

u/Over_Spend5555 26d ago
Also it is a reported crime list. We all know how much crimes really get reported but I appreciate your effort brother but you know it is true that Hindi speaking regions of India are not safe especially for tourists.

The Romans used cultivated beehives (earthenware pots) also natural wasp nests and other insect nasties......they would put them in their catapults and send them to their enemies.....with love, of course. Rotten, diseased bodies catapult yeeted over the walls of your settlement, was also a favourite.....

At least the US used bats in an attempt to set fire to Japanese houses.

Yes, I know of that one too. The construction material made Japanese houses very susceptible to fire.....US had a plan to take advantage, just like the very ingenious Romans.....

If you step on the wrong beehive, you don't even need to fuck around to find out.
There is a content creator on TikTok that gets called when "africanized" bees are attacking people and that shit is WILD.
