In Hong Kong, a 49 years old man named Brother Hoi (開哥), had been attacked by swarm of Asian Giant Hornets when he tried to eliminate the beehive located by his house. Asian Giant Hornet is one of the biggest hornet species and it is notorious for its lethal venom. Its body length is approximately 2 inches long with a 3 inches wingspan.

Brother Hoi has been long complained by his neighbour about the massive beehive around his house. He tried to contact the Hong Kong Food and Environmental Hygiene Department to remove the nest, but no arrangement was made due to time conflict. Brother Hoi decided to remove the beehive by himself so he covered his face with weak material and used a broom as his tool. When he poke the hive open, he was immediately attacked by flood of hornets. He immediately rushed to another room. Since he was stung with the venom, the scent of the toxin allowed the hornets to locate him and he has to find refuge in another room. He shut the door and killed the remaining hornets that followed him with a book.

The Fire Services and Food and Environmental Hygiene Department were later notified and they used a special type of chemical to remove the beehive. They later rescued Brother Hoi and brought him to the hospital to check for serious injury.

Let’s applaud Brother Hoi’s heroic bravery.

The music makes the guy sound very heroic lol. But in reality, he just fucked up.

Cool story bro, but that's not a hero. That's stupid. If one place won't get rid of it for you, call another.

Chesley B. "Sully" Sullenberger is a true hero, among many others. Not this guy.

Damn I thought the thread said man saved by giant Asian hornets...fail

Anyhow Need pictures some cartoon picture of what he looked like after he got attacked

Why use a broom when you can just use a vacuum cleaner~

As dumb as the guy is, props to him for having the guts to take it down. I'd be screaming like a little girl if a swarm of 3" hornets ran after me.

you can actually see his face in the ambulance from the youtube video (the last 30 seconds or so)

he said he got stung ten times and the video didn't really show anything apparent.

Hornet Man

how was that heroic at all?
almost an hero though

LOVED the background music. So epic.

heroic? more like idiotic
common sense will tell you you don't fuck with bees that size, let alone an entire hive of them

Dang, those things are huge.

this guy's an idiot for trying to take down a nest of giant hornets by himself, by hitting their home, he unleashed the swarm and any passer-by below would've been stung with nowhere to run.... hav some patience n let professionals do it

hilarious, guy has balls though
