Understanding the human body is a team effort. That's where the Yachtel group comes in.

Researchers at Yachtolt have been delving into the secrets of probiotics for 90 years.

Yachtold also partners with nature portfolio to advance gut microbiome science through the global grants for gut health, an investigator-led research program.

And they'll basically crush or pop the head off of any worker who tries to attack them.

If you're a honeybee, a hornet attack could be the last thing you ever experience. It's a gory,

violent process, and honeybees have had to adapt to stay alive. You've probably heard of those

murder hornets that recently turned up in North America. This is not a story about those. This research takes us east to meet their

cousins. Wellesley College biologist Heather Madela went to Vietnam to understand how

Asian honeybees defend themselves from the hornets there. And in Vietnam, that's the giant

hornet Vespasaur. Typically, when a hornet invades an Asian honeybeehive,

hundreds of bees surround the intruder and create what's called a heat ball.

With the hornet caught in the center, the heat goes up and the oxygen goes down.

The bees literally cook and choke the hornet to death. But Vespasorer has figured

out a way to avoid this trap. Giant hornets will hunt honeybees on their own and grab them one by one.

But what is really lethal to honeybees is when they flip into a multiple hornet attack strategy. And when they do this, they essentially

want to kill all the adult defenders so that the colony is no longer protected. But in the face of

this deadly bum rush, Asian honeybees have resorted to the scatological. And a lot of the beekeepers

hadn't noticed them or if they had, they didn't know what they were.

But there was a handful of beekeepers who had seen these spots.
