A seventy years old man told me that he accidentally disturbed the nests of Asian Giant Hornets and was stung repeatedly. And that on seeing another squad of hornets coming towards him he ran and dived into the well water and escaped from further stinging by the hornets. It is said that the first stinging hornets leave behind some pheromones which the following- on squad of hornets detect and attack the targeted person easily – within seconds of the first attack! Luckily the man dived into the well water that blocked the pheromones. But the goats that were grazing nearby became the next available target of attack by the furious hornets, and as a result one of them died.
