Giant Asian Hornets
Not as dangerous as it seems IF you know what you're doing. I have experienced this same event many times, in honeybees, when I worked with my uncle who was a beekeeper.
There is one in his hand momentarily that looks quite a bit larger than the rest and is most likely a queen. Queens will not normally sting anything other than another queen and all the others are probably drones (males) trying to breed the queen. Drones do not have stingers. This is a normal event during a swarm to start a new hive.
