Honeybees Mesmerizing Defensive Wave

This is pretty cool:
"Occurred on November 28, 2018 / Vietnam
"This is about honeybee or Apis Dorsata. This 'wave' is utilized against wasps and is referred to as 'shimmering' behavior or defense waving. Bees in the outer layer thrust their abdomens 90° in an upward direction and shake them in a synchronous way. This may be accompanied by stroking of the wings. The signal is transmitted to nearby workers that also adopt the posture, thus creating a visible, and audible 'ripple' effect across the face of the comb. These wave-like patterns repel wasps that get too close to the nests of these bees and serve to confuse the wasp. In turn, the wasp cannot fixate on capturing one bee or getting food from the bees’ nest, so the wasp will seek to find easier prey and leave this nest alone."

You could hear the groans from the crowd with the few drunks in the upper deck tried to start it. But like most waves, one it caught on there was nothing you could do to stop it.

I think it’s bees in Japan that surround big arse wasps and produce heat that cooks the wasps alive.

I don't want to imagine what kind of youtube video hole lead you to that, but it does look pretty cool.
