Many people are terrified at the sight of a single hornet, but a recent incident in Japan has taken that fear to a whole new level. A baseball player named Seki Kojiro was left in shock after discovering that his grandfather had not opened the windows of his home for five years. When he finally pulled back the curtains, he was met with an astonishing sight: an entire wall covered in hornets nests!
The player shared his alarming experience on Twitter, revealing that his grandfather had a room that had been unused for five years, allowing hornets to take over the large glass window. The hive was so extensive that it completely obscured the view outside. Through the transparent window, thousands of hornets could be seen diligently working within the massive hive, resembling a giant hornets nest.
In a state of panic, Kojiro expressed his fear of opening the window and immediately captured photos and videos of the hornets nest wall to seek help online. In a lighthearted twist, he even changed the name of his YouTube channel to "Uncle Beehive" as a way to cope with the situation.
The revelation of this enormous hornets nest left netizens astonished. Comments flooded in, with some speculating that the hive must have been there for at least a year, as hornets typically leave their nests during winter. Others questioned how long it had gone unnoticed to grow so large and even joked about whether they could apply for World Heritage status for such a unique sight.
Some users offered practical advice, suggesting that since queen hornets leave their hives during winter while worker hornets die off, it would be safer to hire professionals to remove the hive during that time.
いやいな、カーテン開けたらこのサイズの蜂の巣はあり得ないでしょ😰
