Bitten by a hornet? The main thing is not to panic. Despite the fact that it can be very painful, your main task in such a situation is to prevent the emerging edema from spreading strongly through the tissues and urgently take preventive actions to reduce the severity of a possible allergic reaction. After all, it is an allergy to a hornet sting that causes serious consequences for human health, sometimes ending even in death. Why is a hornet bite dangerous and what to do if the insect still stings? Let's talk about this in more detail...

A nest of hornets is not the most pleasant surprise that can be found in a summer cottage, attic of a house or in an outbuilding. If you do not touch it, then you will constantly have to bypass the place where it is located. Agree, this is tiring ... If the nest is located above a frequently used path or directly under the roof of a toilet or a tool shed, then such a neighborhood can pose a direct threat to human health, especially for children. That is why, in most cases, the hornet nest in the summer cottage needs to be removed. But how to do it quickly, efficiently and, most importantly, safely? Let's figure it out...

There are many different ways to destroy wasps and hornets in a summer cottage, apiary or in a house.Most often - in the absence of the necessary knowledge and experience - for this purpose they try to use almost the first drugs that came across from cockroaches, and sometimes - various folk recipes.

That is why, for the extermination of wasps and hornets, it is important not only to choose the right insecticidal preparation, but also to be able to use it safely. Let's find out what experienced fighters use with these dangerous insects to achieve the desired result.

Knowing first aid measures for a hornet bite is necessary for every summer resident, gardener, beekeeper or resident of a private house. Hornets always appear on the site unexpectedly, and attempts to drive them away or, even more so, destroy the nest often lead to insect attacks. Their bites in some people cause only swelling and pain, but for others they can even be fatal. Moreover, the physical strength or state of health of the victim does not play a role here - the severity of the reaction to their poison is determined only by the specifics of the immune system. What should be done first of all in order to surely avoid serious consequences after a hornet bite? We will talk about this further ...

The uterus in social insects is not only the most important, but also the largest representative of the family. In bees, it is about one and a half times more than working individuals, and in wasps, it differs by an average of half a centimeter.Hornets immediately come to mind: if their working individuals themselves are huge and reach a length of 2.5 cm, then the uterus should generally be gigantic in size! Indeed, the main female hornet is actually larger than the worker insects, but the queen of large tropical species leaves a particularly strong impression of “enormity”. In addition, the life of the uterus is much more interesting than the existence of most of its descendants, and some features of its life cycle are truly amazing. What does the largest individual in the hornet family look like? How does she live? Let's figure it out...

When you see a huge Japanese hornet live, Jonathan Swift's stories about the country of giants and the fight against giant wasps cease to seem like a fairy tale. Indeed, these hornets look incredibly large, even, one might say, fake, but, nevertheless, they are real, and moreover, they are a scourge for many Japanese villages and farms. Throughout the country, the Japanese huge hornet is considered one of the most dangerous and deadly: there are more deaths from its bites than from any other poisonous insects. What do these monsters look like and how dangerous are they to humans? Let's figure it out...

Almost everyone who has ever had the “pleasure” to experience the consequences of a meeting with bees and wasps, or simply saw it from the outside, is afraid of them. Of course, there are those who claim that they are not afraid of these insects, but they will reflexively shake them off their hands or necks, risking a bite.Is it worth talking about hornets that frighten a person with their appearance and huge size alone? Indeed, the bite of these predatory insects is much stronger than that of most of their relatives, and the stings of some large tropical hornet species are considered among the most dangerous in the world. What should be expected when attacking hornets? Let's figure it out...

Neither wasps nor hornets in a dream from the point of view of dream books bode well. Despite the lack of pronounced harm to humans from these insects (if they are not disturbed), they are remembered and thought mostly in a negative way. That is why in a dream these insects are perceived as satellites of negative thoughts. Numerous dream books indicate a connection between hornets in a person's dreams and various events in his future. Let's try to understand this in more detail ...

Hornets are insects, the neighborhood with which in the country is always unpleasant, sometimes it is simply impossible to endure. One or two hornets flying into the garden are generally not scary, but if a nest of these insects appears on the site - and even more so in the outbuilding, it is worth sounding the alarm, especially if children are frequent guests here. Hornet bites can cause severe allergic reactions in any person, ending in the most severe cases with anaphylactic shock and death. Hornets are no less dangerous for apiaries, where they hunt bees. Here you need to fight diligently with winged predators, destroying them as soon as possible. How to do it? Let's take a closer look at this issue...

One of the largest wasps on Earth is the giant Asian hornet Vespa Mandarinia. Only a few individuals of wasps of other species are capable of reaching such sizes in length, and practically none of them weighs as much as the “sparrow bee”, as this giant is called in Southeast Asia. The Asian hornet is very poisonous and deadly even for humans; when meeting with it, care must be taken and any contact should be avoided. Otherwise, the consequences can be the most sad ...
