… but I want it to be here, where I can find it—because it is about BEES that attack by COOKING.

Honeybees that defend their colonies by killing wasps with body heat come within 5�C of cooking themselves in the process, according to a study in China.

At least two species of honeybees there, the native Apis cerana and the introduced European honeybee, Apis mellifera, engulf a wasp in a living ball of defenders and heat the predator to death.
