246 Killer bees
Looking at the barrage floating in the live broadcast room, Wen Wanwan didn't hang their appetite, and explained directly.
"In many places, this kind of Hu Feng is called tiger head wasp, and there are also mine bees or killer bees."
"With a body length of four to five centimeters, it is the largest wasp in the world, and can even reach a length of six centimeters, with wings spread up to 9.3 centimeters."
"This size is already five times that of an ordinary bee and three times that of an ordinary Hu Feng."
"If it's just a big size, there's nothing to be afraid about, after all, there are many insects that are much bigger than it."
"Crucially, however, the wasp is the most virulent wasp in the world, and the toxins they secrete are a mixture of histamine, haemolytic and neurotoxins."
"Histamine toxins can cause anaphylactic shock, which in turn may lead to liver and kidney failure, which is especially dangerous for people with allergic constitutions."
"That's why in many places, it's called a killer bee."
"And it can be up to six millimeters long, imagine what it's like to be pierced into the skin with a six-millimeter needle?"
"The golden-ringed wasps are extremely territorial, and if a human enters their sphere of influence, they will attack them in groups, even if they do not pose a threat to them."
"Even if a normal person who is not allergic is stung more than twenty times, there is almost no chance of survival."
"This group of guys is ridiculously aggressive, and they will directly turn into predators in the face of other hard-working little bees."
"More than 20 golden-ringed wasps are enough to kill a colony of thousands of bees in two hours and claim the bee nest as already there."
"And they tear the bees they kill into balls of meat and feed them to their own larvae, and once in previous years, thousands of bee carcasses were found in Washington State, with their heads torn off."
"Then conservation groups found a large number of golden-ringed wasps here."
With Wen Wanwan's explanation, the live broadcast room finally understood why the two of them were so nervous just now.
In the few minutes that Shen Nan, the whole person was in a state of high concentration, even if he left their territory now, the whole person was still a little frightened.
To Flora: [Don't say it, I'm already scared!] 】
Jiang Ajiu: [This is what I saw last time, but fortunately I ran fast!] 】
Lemon's ice cubes: [Terrible, I'm still prone to allergies, if I take a bite, I'm afraid it won't be deleted directly?] 】
"Many of the bee's nests are built underground, but some of them have taken over other bee nests."
"If you find that the bees that used to live on the balcony or in the yard have changed, then it is best to contact the fire department as soon as possible and hand it over to a professional to deal with."
"The attack power of the golden-ringed wasp is too strong, ordinary clothing can easily penetrate, and only professional protective clothing can handle it."
"If you encounter them in the wild, you must evacuate the range of 300 meters as soon as possible, and if you can, it is best to leave more than 500 meters."
"According to research, they are not aggressive to humans outside their territory, and generally 500 meters is enough distance to ensure safety."
Wen Wanwan's words made the audience in the live broadcast room remember it clearly this time, for fear that he would forget this life-saving thing.
Looking at the barrage, Wen Wanwan also poured a sip of water on herself, and then continued to tell the story about the golden-ringed wasp.
"In the year 01, it will be in the growth period of the bee generation in Changbai Mountain, and the golden-ringed wasp is also among them."
"A large number of golden-ringed wasps flew down the mountain and took over the nest of the original bees."
"When someone saw the beehive in the yard getting bigger and bigger, they thought about knocking it out themselves, but they never thought that they were stung more than 30 times that day, and they were declared dead in less than ten minutes before and after not being able to make it to the hospital."
"According to incomplete statistics, there are currently more than 1,000 people dying from the golden-ringed wasp in the world, and the number is still increasing by 10 to 15 every year."
If it weren't for Wen Wanwan's popular science, many people might not realize that wasps also have the ability to kill, and the rumored killer bees are even by their side.
"The golden-ringed wasp is extremely widely distributed in China, starting from Changbai Mountain in the north, reaching the southern edge of Yunnan in the south, connecting the national border in the east, and slanting along Liaoning and Hebei in the west, and folding into Sichuan."
"Almost half of China has been included, so it's not surprising to see this kind of Hu Feng anywhere."
Shen Nan drank several sips of water, and this meeting finally eased up, and took Wen Wanwan's words and also popularized science to the audience in the live broadcast room.
There are actually many wasps that can kill people, but most of them have geographical restrictions, and the number of them in China is even smaller.
Only the golden-ringed wasp has strong climate adaptability and can be found throughout the country.
In particular, this guy's reproductive ability is ridiculously strong, and in the case of eating insects, the mortality rate of cubs is low, and a huge number can be born every year.
The cat is in the corner of the group: [I'm going to beat my little nephew, I dare to poke the honeycomb!] 】
Night Flower Fox: [Remember, the next time you see a particularly large wasp, run away!] 】
Brother Pig is here: [Don't talk about wasps, even if a bee flies over, I want to knock two of them and let it go quickly.] 】
After resting by the stone for a while, Wen Wanwan also continued to embark on the road with Shen Nan.
June is the season of flowers, so it stands to reason that there will be a lot of bees working hard.
But unfortunately, the huge hive I just saw has completely disappeared the bees in this area.
Either it was moved, or it was turned into a ration for the golden-ringed wasp.
There will definitely be an impact on the ecology, but not so severely.
The loss of bees may have a significant impact on plant pollination, but the golden-ringed wasp will not be any better.
Without bees as a food source, the survival rate of this year's cubs is very worrying.
Add to that the harassment and killing of some other animals, and the population can plummet.
At most, two years later, they will have to shrink their territory to allow bees to reoccupy most of the flowers.
This is the ability of ecology to regulate, and as long as it is within the limit, most of the impacts can be adjusted slowly over time.
Someone has even made a model with supercomputing, if human activity on Earth is completely stopped now.
It will take 30 years for the ecology to completely turn the earth green again, and the water resources will return to the situation 100 years ago.
Most of the animals whose survival is in danger will multiply in large numbers within 10 to 15 years, and their numbers will climb to more than 10 times the current number.
Time is like joining the G Army in 49 years, and it is always full of incredible.
Most of the morning time had passed, and Wen Wanwan and Shen Nan finally came to the cave of the first Siberian tiger.
