A drone attacked in mid-air by a swarm of Asian hornets: it sounds like a scene a nature documentary or evening a science fiction film. However, it actually happened last week in the Flemish Brabant municipality of Bekkevoort. A group of local youngsters that were flying their drones filmed beekeeper Nicky Torbeyns destroying a hornet's nest. However, things didn’t go entirely to plan and the Asian hornets launched a ferocious attack on the drone. The film illustrates all to clearly how aggressive this invasive species can be.
