Are all american nature shows presented like this? As in, do you chaps have such short attention spans that unless a show is called something like 'Worlds Killiest Hornets' or 'The Hiveocaust' that it just doesn't get seen. We don't need the dramatic music as the brave bees defend their humble home and the savage hornets that rape and plunder it.

Over here we enjoy our occasional nature shows but for the most part they just inform, if you havn't seen it yet, see if you can get your hands on the Blue Planet DVD set, it's amazing, also it shows a whale getting mugged by some orcas.

edit: It was some pretty cool footage, but the commentary and presentation made it feel a bit silly.

british tv sucks

I hate hornets. Bees are cool with me because they make honey. A couple summers ago I had 2 encounters with yellow jackets/hornets (or wasp). I KNOW the first was with yellowjackets because they had made their home in my tree's stump and I google'd it. It killed the tree, and when I stepped on a hole (thought it was a chipmunk hole) they swarmed. I ran like crazy and came back with tons of poison. Killed all of them and later my dog ate the poisoned yellowjackets. He was fine though.

The next week I drove into my garage only to find that there were tons of hornets/wasps buzzing around. They were concentrated all above my car and when I got out I was again swarmed. I ran into the house and came back about 40 minutes later only to find about 50 dead bugs laying on the ground.

Good thing they tried to make a nest in the garage light, and good thing I left it on when I closed the door.

awesome story
