    Odd question: we know Europeans transplanted our bees to Japan, but do Japanese bees thrive in other countries? Or do we not know since they abscond so much?

    I can not think of a worse idea, then to put a colony of foreign bee's in your yard, allso pretty sure you can't legally do that for that reason. Your inviting all sorts of diseases and parasites (Ya know like we did with varroa) into your hives. Even more then that your all so forcing that on your neighbors, and the entire country. Just look at Varroa. Your heart is in the right place, but this is like dumping an invasive species into a fish pond.

    @@20PINKluvr we have pollinating bees other than western honeybees (which are not native to the US - they're actually from europe). it would certainly cause a disruption, but you don't have to worry about starving to death - it's not like we wouldn't be able to grow food anymore. your concern is not misplaced, it's very important to worry about our ecosystem. in fact, your local bees are arguably more important than western honeybees

    I keep apis mellifera in the uk, (obviously!), and saw this 'balling' behaviour when an european hornet tried to attack a beehive. The hornet attempted to go down between the frames, the bees made short work of the hornet, whether by overheating or stinging to death not sure, the bees won though!

    To a degree yes I agree. However it also due to mankinds interference. Florida has invasive Boa Constictors introduced through the pet trade. The great lakes have invasive mussels from ship bilge tanks emptying. When I was a young teenager I worked in a green grocers and we regularly had to kill spiders and bugs that came in cases of bananas ! I love spiders but don't want venemous one's in England. Scorpions now live in the docks in east london. Nature takes time to adapt. WE are forcing undo pressure on eco systems.

    I don't think bee keepers need to give them food in winter since in the wild they evolve to produce their own food which is honey so that they can survive winter That's why they created so much and also the reason why we shouldn't take a lot of it from them. If 45 percent of honey was taken from the hive the colony will die Since they will not be able to have food for winter

    They were kept widely until Isle of White disease and there are people trying to bring the native black bee back and no doubt there is the genetics within our feral colonies. But if you have feral hives you will see that there is loads of different genetics in our hives from carnies, buckfast to Italians etc I would love some native black bees but they seem hard to get hold of (the genuine ones at least).

    Interesting. You mention absconding as a defence against attacks on the hives. I can understand how a colony can plan to abscond but how does it work as an emergency defence system? With western honey bees the queen is to fat to fly when she is in her productive mode, i.e. laying eggs, and she has to slim down considerably before she can fly away with a swarming or absconding colony. Surely the Japanese honey bees have the same issue with the queens? My point being that without a queen the colony is doomed even if it manages to escape an attack from Giant Hornets.

    @@thehturt5480 Probably not the best idea as hybrids can have unforeseen consequences, but if you're looking for the solution then Africanized bees would be the solution, they are massively productive, and their insane defensive response would probably overcome even these hornets. The problem is that they wouldn't be fun to work with, feral swarms could be a danger to the public and there seems to be some evidence that once their genetics becomes fixed rather than the initial hybrids their defensiveness wanes a bit.
