They're particularly dangerous when associated with the boys in light blue

I heard there's a programme on Pearl on Thursday at 8 o'clock about the giant hornets. I'd really love to see it.

Would somebody please run an extension cable under the table with a TV in the Island Bar so I can watch it? And while you're busy, I'll have another bacardi coke, thanks.

Hope you managed to get a look at the programme from under your table, because it was really fascinating. Some nice close-up shots of the hornets - almost as good as Guy's ealier pics.

I was especially impressed by the attitude of the Buddhist monk/beekeeper and how he managed to deal with the whole picture of inter-related communities.

Also interesting was the minor behaviour adaptation evolved by the native Japanese bees that made them immune to attacks by these hornets, while the imported European bees were slaughtered by the thousand.

I think it's safe to come out now, though.
